"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica. Thank you, again.
Pura Vida,
Steve and Andrea

"I would highly recommend this company for overseas travel. We had personal drivers that spoke perfect English and were also very knowledgeable in conversation pertaining to their country. Drivers were always early and eager to please. Your wish was their command!!!Every tour included educated guides who knew how to make our experience fun and exciting! I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"Hi Erika,
We are home with many good memories from our stay in Panama.
We found your guides and drivers to be always on time and very instructive, especially in David/Bouquette/Amistad. We liked the Panamonte Hotel in Bouquette.
Since the Amistad Park was closed due to rain on the day we arrived, we toured a Race horse breeding farm, Cerre Punte, which was magnificent and might be a consideration for your future guests
Your choice of itinerary in Panama City was quite informative and complete considering the limited time we had.
All in all, we were quite pleased with Kensington Tours in general.
Many Thanks,
Anthony and Barbara

P and I want to thank you so much for all of your help in setting up our trip! It was a wonderful week in Panama--we loved every minute. And we especially appreciated you taking care of the hotel reservation glitch. Your partner in Panama was really great to work with--they did a wonderful job and were very professional. Everything worked like clockwork with them. We look forward to working with you again!
Warm regards,

"My husband and I are "Boomers" and veteran world-wide travelers, from our early days with Eurail passes and VW Vans to the present! As such, we are not content with the group tours that "herd" you around and show you the tourist photo-op sites. However, as a busy medical professional I don't have time to carefully put together the type of trip that we want to have in places we have never been before. What a delight and relief to have discovered Kensington tours! Our trip to Costa Rica was the epitome of personalized, professional, and exceptional service. All our drivers and guides were wonderful - Barbara Franz, our naturalist guide in Manuel Antonio National Park was a standout. Our hotels and lodges in San Jose, Tortuguero, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio were unique, lovely, and very comfortable. We are recommending Kensington to all our friends and are already trying to decide where we will go next. Maybe Africa, maybe New Zealand! We cannot say enough about Kensington's commitment to excellence! When it can be hard to wade through the mediocre, such professionalism is refreshing. Thank you Brandi for all you did to make our trip memorable!"

"Hi Brandi-
Ariana & I absolutely LOVED our trip to Costa Rica. This trip was even better than we had hoped or expected. The quality of the different hotels was excellent, and I was quite frankly surprised at how "deluxe" our rooms were when I was expecting more "average" type of lodging. We were thrilled & loved each place we stayed and we have told all our friends & family about this exceptional customer service. The tour guides were AMAZING, so knowledgable, friendly, spoke great English, & were willing to help us learn Spanish & the culture. We were so happy that we were able to do the different activities-- Canyon Rappelling in Arenal, Venado Cave Tour near Arenal, ziplining in Monteverde, The Springs, and the different rainforest tours. All these activities-- and the other activities along the way-- were WONDERFUL, and we felt very safe and well-cared for during our excursions. The travel arrangements & private vehicles were great- we were very comfortable & the drivers were very professional & prompt. We were treated so well that we felt like royalty!
I am telling all my friends, co-workers, family members and my patients ( I work in a dental office) about how wonderful the Costa Rica trip was with my daughter & how great the service & planning was with Kensington Tours. I have given your name to several people & hope that you'll get referrals from those I've talked with! I am definitely planning on traveling abroad again and plan to go through you and Kensington Tours when I do. My next goal is to plan a trip (maybe Europe or return to Costa Rica?) for my teenage son & I to do together in the next year or so.
My sincerest gratitude to you for making our Costa Rica trip SPECTACULAR! Well done! Below, you will see my responses to the survey (as you can see, I'm not very prompt about checking email, but eventually I get around to it!) you sent a few days after we arrived back home. Let me know if there's any problems reading my responses-- I rated everything "excellent" because that's what it was/is!
Thanks again!

For an explanation of the pancreas, please see the description under "What is the pancreas?" in Pancreatic Diseases.
What is pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the pancreas. Acute attacks are often characterized by severe abdominal pain that radiates from the upper belly through to the back and can cause effects ranging from mild pancreatic swelling to life-threatening organ failure. Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive condition that results in permanent damage of pancreatic tissue. Recurrent acute attacks can lead to chronic pancreatitis.
The pancreas is a narrow, flat organ located deep in the abdominal cavity, behind the stomach and below the liver. It is composed of exocrine tissues, which make powerful enzymes that help digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the small intestine, and bicarbonate that helps neutralize stomach acids. It also has "islets" of endocrine tissues that produce the hormones insulin and glucagon, vital for the transportation of glucose into the body's cells and for maintaining normal blood levels of glucose.
Normally, most pancreatic digestive enzymes are produced and transported into the duodenum in an inactive form. While the exact mechanisms of pancreatitis are not well understood, it is thought that during pancreatitis attacks these enzymes are prevented or inhibited from reaching the duodenum, become activated while still in the pancreas, and begin to autodigest and destroy the pancreas. They are also released directly into the blood, causing levels that are higher than normal and some secondary effects.
Pancreatitis occurs more frequently in men than in women and is known to be linked to and aggravated by alcoholism and gallbladder disease. In the latter case, this happens because of obstruction of the common duct from the gallbladder and the pancreas into the intestine. Obstruction is most frequently due to gallstones and sometimes to biliary sludge. Alcoholism and gallbladder disease are responsible for about 80% of acute pancreatitis attacks and figure prominently in chronic pancreatitis. Another 10% of the time the cause is idiopathic, and 10% of the time it is due to:
- Drugs such as valproic acid and estrogen
- Viral infections such as mumps, Epstein-Barr, and hepatitis A and B
- Exceedingly high blood triglyceride level, hyperparathyroidism, or high blood calcium level
- Cystic fibrosis and inherited defects that result in early activation of digestive enzymes
- Pancreatic cancer
- Surgery in the area of the pancreas (such as bile duct surgery)
- Trauma to the abdomen ("blunt trauma")

Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff and his wife Sandi are considering taking advantage of the boom in urban housing by getting into the grocery business.
The couple has their sights set on a proposed development in the rapidly growing Broadway corridor North of downtown San Antonio that calls for demolishing a vacant car wash and replacing it with a 3-story building.
The developer envisions a roof top bar, fine dining on the second floor and a fresh food market on the ground level.
The Wolffs are currently in talks with the developer to run that urban market.
"We've looked at the plans the owner has in regards to how he wants to build the building and what we might do on the ground floor of it," Kevin Wolff said. "We're kind of neck deep in the research so it's very serious."
While the Wolff family name is most commonly recognized in the world of local politics, it also has ties to the local grocery business.
Kevin Wolff's dad, County Judge Nelson Wolff, and uncles started the Sun Harvest chain years ago. Kevin Wolff not only worked in the store as a teen, but he also met his future wife there.
"It's actually where I met my wife 20 years ago," Wolff said. "I grew up in the grocery business and she worked there for almost 15 years so it's obviously something we've been around a lot."
While they had kicked around the idea of owning their own store together for years, it wasn't until the recent boom in urban housing hit that they started to seriously consider making their dream a reality.
With an estimated 1,500 new urban residences open or under construction in the Broadway corridor, the couple jumped at the idea of running a store in the area where they bought their first property together years ago.
"The area needs it," Sandi Wolff said. "There is so much growth and having lived there before it was developed I think we saw the need for that right away and just with the population growth and the expected population growth they need a grocery store and if we're the ones to provide it, then so be it."
The store wouldn't be a huge suburban style supermarket. The developer's plans call for a 7,000-10,000 square foot market that would cater to the urban dwellers who live within walking distance.
"This is not a place you're going to travel to in your vehicle," Kevin Wolff said. "The parking doesn't exist and those types of things, so it has to be truly an urban market, something Sandi and I are familiar with because we used to live in Manhattan."
As the developer waits for city council to vote on a zoning change to make the development a reality, Wolff and his wife are deep into the research trying to make sure the area can support a store.
"You have to have a certain level of density for it to have an opportunity to work and all of the new growth you've seen in and around the Pearl, that's what has us looking at it," Kevin Wolff said. "We're not positive yet. We're looking at exactly those sort of business metrics over the next couple months to determine if it really can make it there. If the answer is yes, than Sandi and I will figure out a way to do it."

Mike...the problem is that you sometimes take things to seriously, even if someone insults you right in the face you can turn it into inocent trash talk if your reactions is more playful...and a little bit less dramatic .

And as for the Marko vs Mike thing, I'm looking forward to Mike smacking down Marko for three reasons: I hate studded belts, I want to see the fanboys be crushed, and Marko is just as cocky (if not, more) as Mike.
mike: I think the near-steinmetz-grade animosity you've attracted is way over the top for what really was stock-standard thunderdome trash talk on your part, but I do agree with the matchup from the perspective of it being something you asked for. In the absence of any reference works from Sciboy (apart from 2 really wip pieces, and your DA gallery is mysteriously empty) I think this is up in the air and is going to be interesting.
with all the trash talk and tension, we should turn this thunderdome into a reality tv show, or the Real World. 270 artists, one studio space, whats going to happen!
Ok Form vs Sielagaudys vs Poise
I checked out Form's work, and I will be looking forward to what you come up with dear sir.
But Sielagaugys doesn't have anything posted. AWE!!!! I need to Know my enemies. this will drive me crazy!!!

"I can live with losing," he says, while apologizing for the other night. "Most of the time you lose in life anyway, so I can handle it. I don't like it, but it's not going to destroy me. Me flipping out on you guys had nothing to do with me feeling the pressure. I'm tired; I couldn't beat my opponent, so I beat up on you guys.
"If you knew me as a player, after a loss I want to fight."
So does that mean we will have some more of these fiery exchanges when he's pressed to offer more than "I don't know"?
"If you travel with the team," he says to me. "I think that's the common denominator, don't know for sure, but we're one for one so far."
Instead of going two for two, D'Antoni shows restraint. When asked why the Lakers continue to fall behind so early, he doesn't go "I don't know" on the room, but accomplishes the same thing with some forgettable answer.
The other night he gets testy when he's asked if he's embarrassed, well on his way to hearing the same question Thursday night with the Lakers losing after the first quarter, 41-27.
"I took offense to that," says D'Antoni about being asked the question in Cleveland. "I would be embarrassed if I was running around on my wife and I got caught or if I was not doing the job as hard as I can do it.
"I only get embarrassed if I'm lazy, but if I'm working as hard as I can go I'm not embarrassed. I'm disappointed and I'm thinking I'll get it next time. I should have said that; that was my mistake."
The Lakers' mistake might be the hiring of D'Antoni, who returned to New York to be booed after failing miserably as the Knicks' coach.
Why isn't he concerned the same thing might be happening now in L.A.?
"It's almost like walking a high wire, but I got a safety net," says D'Antoni. "What's the worst that's going to happen to me — go play golf the rest of my life?"
He's beginning to sound like Mike Brown. And more so when you compare the way both answer questions — humor first, as if deflecting attention away from the query.
Maybe it's a defense mechanism, both men burned. Brown got waylaid in Cleveland, D'Antoni in New York; both want fans to believe they don't care if folks are unhappy.
"It's the only way you can survive in this business," D'Antoni says. "I don't care what anyone writes. And why am I going to give honest answers? I can't protect my team if I'm going to give honest answers."
Let me help: The Lakers currently stink; why protect them from the truth? They know they are prone to start slowly, talking about it almost every day. And so here they are losing by 14 before the second quarter begins.
"If I can solve some problems," he says, while obviously counting on the return of Steve Nash.
But what about his well-known defensive deficiencies?
"Steve's smart," he says. "Magic wasn't a great defensive player, but he was smart and one of the best I ever saw. Dwight Howard can make up the difference. Dwight makes us a top-10 defensive team."
D'Antoni is big on comic relief, as you know.
"You know, I've lost in my life and I can lose again," he says. "I'm not a genius."
Let me be the first, I tell him, to agree.
"That's good," he says. "You'll take those words back."

3Doku brings the traditional Sudoku game to the third dimension. In a 9x9x9 cube, 27 Sudoku schemas intersect one another along the three axis. Every 9x9 bi-dimensional schema must be solved, keeping in mind that every single cell belongs to the selected schema and also to the other two placed on the orthogonal planes. With 4 difficulty levels and 4 initial values distributions, you can customize your game and have every time a new exciting challenge to solve.

AddressBook X LDAP provides a shared addressbook on your local network, without the burden of subscriptions. It is an iSync enabled application which transfers contacts from the AddressBook to a central LDAP directory. It also provides the ability to browse and search the directory. Multiple schema mappings are available and can be customized and extended to address individual needs. Currently, ABxLDAP Person (an extension to InetOrgPerson) is fully supported, but the Mozilla Schema and the basic InetOrgPerson are in development. Support for Active Directory is included as well.
AlmostVPN is an SSH tunnel manager with a twist. It is packaged as a Preference Panel, so you do not have to use yet another application to configure your tunnels. Instead, it uses creative network configuration techniques to provide almost VPN-like access to remote services, so you can keep using real IP addresses and port numbers while accessing service on the other side of your tunnels. It provides a simple way to mount remote volumes, use remote printers and faxes, access iTunes, iPhoto, and almost any other Bonjour-based application, transfer and execute files, and more.

Great Quality Labels
Vintage Spring Address Labels These labels came out great! They are a little bigger than I thought they would be, but they look so nice and the quality is great! I definitely recommend adding these to your order, worth the $20!
Vintage Spring Step Enclosure Cards Got these included with the wedding invites, & RSVP cards. I am so pleased and cannot wait to send these out to our guests!
Vintage Spring Envelope Seals These stickers are TOO cute! Def. worth the extra $20 or so, adds a cute touch!
Invitations & RSVPs
Vintage Spring Pocket Invitations I asked for sample products of invitations even asking for a specific style so I could better visualize. They sent me exactly what I wanted and I fell in love with one specific pocket invitation style and the linen paper. I was not fully able to personalize everything I had wanted on my invitation/RSVPs (the main background and more specific paragraph spacing) BUT I typed what I wanted into the notes section and the person working on the proofs created exactly what I asked and continued working with me until I was satisfied with what I was getting. They were sent quickly and were just as fabulous as I had hoped. RSVP post cards were printed on very sturdy paper and the quality of everything was great. I would recommend magnet street. I had also gotten my save the dates from here too...LOVE!
Beautiful Invitations
Vintage Spring Foldover Pockets I had read lots of reviews about Magnet Street's amazing Save the Dates. However, I was surprised at the level of customization available with all their wedding stationary. I ordered a JustOne to match our STD's and was extremely pleased with the quality of the paper and the depth of color. When our full order arrived, I couldn't have been happier! Magnet Street's full color and text customization is an incredible value. The size and accessory options are unmatched with other invite vendors I've looked into (especially at this price point!).Not only that, I've had guests comment that it was the most beautiful invitation they have ever received! Thanks Magnet Street!!!!

I know you all are very busy as school activities and personal needs consume your time. However, spending 15 minutes a day on Thinkfinity Community is a way to address your professional goals. It isn't a matter of time but a matter of priority.
August is Connected Educators' month and what better resolution than to connect with educators on Thinkfinity Community.
Why: You all have collaborated with educators in your building/district, but by extending your networking and collaborative efforts beyond your physical location you will find different perspectives and discover new ideas. Having a problem? Start a discussion and someone will have a solution to try that you wouldn't have thought of.
How: Take 15 minutes each morning to search for a new resource, either created by our Content Partners and/or recommended by our members, to enhance your classroom instruction. Review the latest discussions in the Community Hub to read what educators are discussing.
Thinkfinity is your Professional Learning Community (PLC) and you will want to spend a little time in our Help Center reviewing the documents listed on our Thinkfinity Community Help Index to understand how best to use the new Thinkfinity and make it work for you.
Tell us about your use of Thinkfinity Community. Why should you spend 15 minutes a day on Thinkfinity Community? How can you work it into your busy schedule? Where do you go when you are in the community and why? What do you do when you are on?
Jane Brown
Thinkfinity Community Manager
Honestly, I started keeping track of how much time I spend on Facebook. I couldn't believe it! Taking 15 minutes away from that time is nothing. If nothing else, checking in on a few discussions or blog posts gets me thinking about my own instruction. Many of you inspire me by sharing your own experiences.
I am typically in the community in the early evenings. When I log into the community, I immediately look at discussions that were recently posted by going to Browse > Content from the dark red navigation bar at the top of the page. Then, I sort by All Discussions. After that, I look at discussions that I authored to see if I need to respond to anyone's comments or if they answered my questions.
After browsing discussions, I enjoy checking out the content in specific groups I am interested in. The Online Tools for Educators group is always sharing new resources and is very active. The Community Hub and The Lounge are two other places I like to go to get varied discussions and meet new members.
In my role as an Instructional Technology Specialist, I check in to Verizon Thinkfinity several times a day to share links to various resources. While there, I tend to check a couple of groups that I am part of. I find that I am able to share best practices from others or pose a question to a colleague that helps encourage reflection and discussion. It's all about personal and professional growth and the community fits the bill.
Great suggestion...15 minutes a day on Thinkfinity keeps me, as a teacher, "current and connected"!
One favorite place to check is partner site, Wonderopolis...the wonder of the day is a fantastic discussion starter in the classroom, as well as the teacher's lunch room (much better than gossip).

9 Questions from the Community
Can this model be flush mounted?
How long is the down rod that is included with the fan?
If needed, what color down rod should be ordered with this fan? What black is compatible with bullion black?
A. There is a bullion black down rod for the Casablanca Continental. They come in 6", 12", 18", 24", 30", and 36". The product id is going to be BL624 with the length you like on the end ie: BL62418 for an 18" black buillon down rod.
What is the total height of the fan from ceiling to light fixture?
What are the blades for this fan made of (e.g., hardwood, composite wood, plastic, etc.)?
Thank you for your response. AI understand there is a wall mounted remote. Does it have too be connected to the same electrical wire as the fan? or can it be placed onto another wire cl;oser to my light switches.
Can the uplight and downlight be controlled independent of one another or does the one dimmer control both at the same time?
With a standard 3" rod, what is the distance from the ceiling to the blades? I see that the total height is 16.9".
Which Casablanca hand held remote control is compatible with this fan?

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF VARIABLE STAR OBSERVERS 25 Birch Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA INTERNET: firstname.lastname@example.com Tel. 617-354-0484 Fax 617-354-0665 AAVSO ALERT NOTICE 295 (April 16, 2002) 1753-30B NOVA SAGITTARII 2002 We have been informed by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (IAU Circular 7878) that W. Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile, photographically discovered an apparent nova in Sagittarius at magnitude 9.2 on two images taken on April 15.354 UT, using Technical Pan film and an orange filter. P. Cacella, Brasilia, Brazil, measured the position of the object from a CCD image obtained with a 0.25-m reflector on April 16.093 UT (V magnitude 10.1) as: R.A. = 17h 59m 59.63s Decl. = -30o 53' 20.5" (2000) Observations reported to the AAVSO are as follows: April 11.3999 UT, <11.5 PTG, W. Liller, Vina del Mar, Chile; 15.3539, 9.2 PTG, Liller; 16.1290, 9.5, R. Shida, Ariente, Brazil; 16.4854, 9.8, M. Linnolt, San Francisco, CA; 16.6060, 9.8, A. Pearce, Nedlands, Australia. Accompanying is an AAVSO "d" scale chart of N SGR 02 prepared by A. Price, AAVSO Headquarters, with the sequence prepared by M. Simonsen and M. Morel. Please use this chart to observe the nova, and report your observations of 1753-30B N SGR 02 to AAVSO Headquarters, making sure to indicate which comparison stars you used. Please note that a "d" scale reversed chart is also available from the AAVSO web site or on request. Congratulations to Bill on his latest discovery! 0006-12 WW CET - REQUEST TO MONITOR FOR RXTE OBSERVATIONS Astronomer Dr. Darren Baskill of Leicester University, Leicester, UK, will be observing the dwarf nova WW Ceti with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) from May 10 through August 9, 2002 for a duration of 3,000 seconds each day. He has requested the assistance of AAVSO observers to monitor WW Cet simultaneously with his X-ray campaign so that the visual and X-ray data may be correlated. Dr. Baskill provides the following description of the project: The relationship between X-ray and optical observations varies dramatically between dwarf novae. In U Gem, the X-ray count rate increases during optical outburst, while observations of SS Cyg and SU UMa (see AAVSO News Flash #772) show completely the opposite; the X-ray count rate falls during optical outburst. This may be due to the inclination of the system - U Gem has an inclination of 70 degrees, whereas SS Cyg and SU UMa have much lower inclinations of 37 degrees, and 44 degrees, respectively. The inclination of WW Cet is 54 degrees, and so it is unknown whether it will behave like U Gem or SS Cyg. This new data should help us understand the X-ray variability (and the optical relationship) of dwarf novae. Observers are urged to monitor the variable closely, particularly during intervals when RXTE is observing WW Cet. During such time, observations should be made every 5 minutes. Observers should start observing WW Cet 15 before and should continue 15 minutes after scheduled RXTE runs. When RXTE is not actively observing the dwarf nova, observations should be made every hour. (For the timetable, see that URL below.) Accompanying are AAVSO "b" and "e" scale charts for the variable; the "d" scale chart can be found on the AAVSO web site. Please use these charts to observe this variable, and report your observations of 0006-12 WW Cet to AAVSO Headquarters, making sure to indicate which comparison stars you used. Please note that corresponding reversed charts are also available from the AAVSO web site or on request. More information about this campaign, including RXTE observing timetables for WW Cet, can be found at the following address: http://www.star.le.ac.uk/~dbl/xtewwcet.html Good coverage from our observers is extremely important to the success of this observing program. Please observe WW Cet as frequently as possible. More information about this project will become available as time progresses. Watch the AAVSO home page (http://www.aavso.org) for updates and reminders! CHARTS AVAILABLE ON AAVSO WEB AND FTP SITES Electronic copies of the N Sgr 02 and WW Cet charts mentioned in this Alert Notice are available through our web site at the following address: http://www.aavso.org/charts/SGR/N_SGR_02 http://www.aavso.org/charts/CET/WW_CET The charts may also be obtained directly from our FTP site: ftp://ftp.aavso.org/charts/standard/SGR/N_SGR_02 ftp://ftp.aavso.org/charts/standard/CET/WW_CET We encourage observers to submit observations via our web site (online data submission tool WebObs), or by email in AAVSO format to email@example.com. If you do not have AAVSO Observer Initials, please contact Headquarters so we may assign them to you. The answering machine at AAVSO Headquarters is on nights and weekends; use our charge-free number (888-802-STAR = 888-802-7827) to report your observations, or report them via fax (617-354-0665).

Playing around with the phone, I've discovered how to do a few things that people might want to know about. If not, ignore my post and move on. :)
Add an empty folder to store shortcuts in on any home screen.
Menu->Add->Folders->New folder
To change the name of that Folder, open it, touch and hold on it's title bar.
You cannot add shortcuts directly into the folder. Create them on your home screen, then touch and hold the icon you want to put into the folder for two seconds. Then drag that shortcut over to the new folder and drop.
For example I've created a folder called "Settings" where I keep shortcuts to Bluetooth, Battery, Sound and Display and Wi-Fi.
You can do this for specific contacts, playlists, etc.

In 1998, Bill Belichick was a secondary coach for the Jets after flaming out as head coach of the Browns when he got a call from Davis about the Raiders' head coaching position.
When he sat down to interview with Davis, his first question was: "What am I doing here?" Belichick knew Davis was the de facto defensive coordinator of the Raiders and his intent always was to hire an offensive-minded head coach.
And sure enough, Davis hired the young offensive coordinator of the Eagles, Jon Gruden. But Davis didn't waste his time with Belichick. Davis picked his brain about defensive strategies, techniques and trends.
In a league of closely guarded secrets, the interview process presents an opportunity to peer into other organizations' souls.
So maybe Davis inspired some of Emery's approach. You never know what benefits could be derived from getting to know a candidate.
In 2007, Davis interviewed Steve Sarkisian, then an assistant at Southern Cal. Davis asked him who his offensive coordinator would be, and Sarkisian introduced him to Lane Kiffin. Sarkisian eventually backed out, but Davis' open mind led him to naming Kiffin his head coach.
If nothing else, Emery is getting a lot of free, professional, unbiased evaluations of his own team. Some teams pay independent scouting services big money for self evals, just to hear outside voices.
And on the subject of voices, all the talk about the hiring process merely is noise.
All that will matter is where it leads.

All hail the US women.
All hail the US women.
Can they show the sports already?
I'd like to hail the women, but the History Channel has invaded NBC.
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." Olympic Charter
i love this war fluff but i understand your point
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I could have sworn I tuned into the Olympics, not the History Channel. How many divers are gonna get chacked for all this .
So, in other words, first up is the Tom Brokaw story about however "The Greatest Generation" benefited this particular city. I was expecting it last Sunday - or this Sunday.
You know, if they needed filler, they could just show the divers in various poses. And the American and French gymnastic team. And Merrit and Spearman. Some rhythm gymnastis. And then Maroney being not-impressed.
Or, they could show some stuff on the Olympic Village, or some "making of the games." There's nothing in this special that hasn't already been covered better by someone else.
"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." Olympic Charter
I think I will have a snack and take a nap before I eat and go to sleep.
While others have done the history before and possibly better, there is a whole audience out there for whom this is the only time they see any history. At other Olympics, I have had friends and acquaintances who talk about these history stories as the highlight of their Olympic viewing.
I noticed the other day that Tom is starting to show his age. He is wearing hearing aids and he sounds like his teeth don't fit well.
I wanted to catch some of the fabulous diving action today before I went out.
Not going to happen!
Grumble, grumble, grumble.
I can't believe NBC spent an hour giving us a history lesson about London during WWII. I already learned about this during European History in high school, European History in college, and numerous History Channel docs. Leave if up to NBC to show the most boring, irrelevant fluff instead of actual athletes.

Did anyone see the Mary Carillo story/interview with Caster Semenya this afternoon? Whether or not there is a question about her gender, the way she was treated was abominable.

He was once the face of college basketball, Hoosiers personified, a small-town kid who this spring brought a smile, a swagger and a national championship resume to the UCLA program.
Yet before he even coached one practice, someone had created a Facebook page titled "Fire Steve Alford."
He was once baseball's best manager, the steady force who brought the Angels their first and only world championship, the creator of what many now consider halo heaven.
Coaching in L.A.: In the May 5 Sports section, a column about sports coaches in the hot seat said that New York Jets Coach Rex Ryan has coached the team for six seasons and that New York Mets Manager Terry Collins has headed his team for four seasons; in fact, Ryan has coached the Jets for four seasons and Collins is in his third season as Mets manager. —
Yet recently, a blog called "Halos Heaven" conducted a Mike Scioscia poll that asked: "Is he toast?"
He coached the best team in franchise history, his Clippers filling Staples Center and capturing the city buzz and charting a previously unimaginable bright future.
Yet there is not one, but two, Twitter accounts named after Vinny Del Negro's imminent demise, @FireVinnyDelNeg and @FireVinnyDNegro.
Welcome to the home of what has become the toughest job in sports, a place where perspective is forgotten, continuity is ignored and patience comes to die.
If you want to coach a major sports program in Los Angeles these days, lose your sense of pride, find your sense of humor and prepare to spend every waking hour apologizing for not being Phil Jackson.
Welcome to Hot Seat City.
"Coaches who come to L.A., you always think you're ready for it," said Warren LeGarie, a prominent agent for NBA coaches. "But you are never ready for it."
How could you be?
How could one of LeGarie's clients, Mike Brown, know that he would be fired just five games into this season? How could another of LeGarie's clients, Mike D'Antoni, know that he would be welcomed by thousands of Lakers fans chanting for another coach?
How could USC football Coach Lane Kiffin know that, mere months after going 10-2 with a depleted roster, he would have to interrupt a postgame news conference to announce he wasn't getting fired?
How could Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly guess that his owners would preach stability and continuity in assembling the most expensive team in baseball history, then refuse to extend his ordinary contract past the end of the summer?
"Coaches all want the beauty of L.A.," said LeGarie. "But there is a real difficulty in L.A."
Recent trends are turning that difficulty into a near impossibility. Suddenly, it seems, coaching a team in the best market in sports has become one of the worst jobs in sports.
Of the 10 coaches of Los Angeles' major sports programs, five are under such duress and could be fired by the end of the year: Kiffin, D'Antoni, Del Negro, Mattingly and Scioscia.

Tannic Acid
Tannic Acid
Botanical Description & Habitat
Many Herbs contain Tannin or Tannic acid compounds.
Commercially a type of acorn from oak trees is used.
Native Americans used to derive their tannic acid from the brains of buffaloes in order to "tan" the hides.
Historical Properties & Uses
Because tannins are naturally astringent, almost all plants containing them are used as astringents. Tannic acids help eliminate diarrhea, reduce swelling of hemorrhoids, loosen catarrh in the respiratory system, and control various kinds of internal bleeding. Externally, tannins are beneficial in rubs for aching muscles and joints, in salves for open, slow-healing sores, and as antiseptics. Plants high in tannic acid have been used to treat cancers, but tannic acid itself has been found to be carcinogenic under certain conditions.
In very small amounts, tannic acid is approved for food use and is added to many commercial foods. Since the astringecy of tannic acid involves the precipitation of protein, the addition of protein (such as milk or cream) to a tannin-rich tea would "bind" the tannin, rendering it biologically inert.
Method of Action
Tannic Acid Is Astringent
The astringency of tannins comes from their ability to precipitate protein. This astringency varies from plant to plant depending upon the kinds of tannins present, the total concentration of the tannins, and ratio of the different types of tannins to each other. The two main tannins are gallic acid and catechinic acid. Another common tannin is ellagic acid.
Tannic Acid Has Antibiotic Properties
Several studies have shown tannic acid has antiviral, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. In many cases it acts directly on the organism to inactivate it. Tannins have also been implicated in hyaluronidase system. That is, they destroy hyaluronidase in much the same manner as does echinacea, thereby defending the cells of the body against viral invasion.
Drug Interactions & Precautions
Known Interactions
Solubilized tannins are inactivated by proteinaceous solvents, such as milk.
Possible Interactions
Tannins many potentiate the antibiotic activity of echinacea.
The topical application of tannic acid in conjunction with the acne product tretinoin (retinoic acid, vitamin A acid), may adversely affect the skin.
Safety Factors & Toxicity
In concentrated doses, tannic acid demonstrates hepatocarcinogenic properties in both animals and humans. Fatal liver damage can occur as the result of using pure tannic acid externally on burns or as an ingredient in enemas.
The real toxic agent may be digallic acid, a common impurity in tannic acid preparations. Large oral doses of tannic acid can cause nausea and vomiting. High concentrations of tannic acid extracted from nutgalls can impair vitamin B-12 in rats, by forming insoluble, non-absorbable complexes.
Herbs containing tannic acid have not been implicated in the above conditions.
Preparation & Administration
There is presently insufficient data on this subject.
