Therapeutic Massage and Holistic Facial Treatments
Naturopathica Chelsea spa treatments are inspired by Barbara's passion for self-care and wellbeing. Treatments feature therapeutic oils with Kava Kava Root, Lobelia and Cramp Bark to target the needs of urbanites, specifically muscle and joint health, stress relief, natural immunity (and adrenal fatigue), women's wellness and skin health.

Ideal for the Jedi or the warp-lagged who need a special power boost, the treatment packages feature ingredients and products such as "healing mud from Alderaan, salt from Tatooine, a Restorative Waters Bath from Dagobah, the finest Kashyyykian Beer".
Other Star Wars-themed treatments include:

Scenario analysis constitutes a valuable deployment method for scientific models to inform environmental decision-making, particularly for evaluating land degradation mitigation options, which are rarely based on formal analysis. In this paper we demonstrate such an assessment using the PESERA–DESMICE modeling framework with various scenarios for 13 global land degradation hotspots. Starting with an initial assessment representing land degradation and productivity under current conditions, options to combat instances of land degradation are explored by determining: (1) Which technologies are most biophysically appropriate and most financially viable in which locations; we term these the "technology scenarios"; (2) how policy instruments such as subsidies influence upfront investment requirements and financial viability and how they lead to reduced levels of land degradation; we term these the "policy scenarios"; and (3) how technology adoption affects development issues such as food production and livelihoods; we term these the "global scenarios". Technology scenarios help choose the best technology for a given area in biophysical and financial terms, thereby outlining where policy support may be needed to promote adoption; policy scenarios assess whether a policy alternative leads to a greater extent of technology adoption; while global scenarios demonstrate how implementing technologies may serve wider sustainable development goals. Scenarios are applied to assess spatial variation within study sites as well as to compare across different sites. Our results show significant scope to combat land degradation and raise agricultural productivity at moderate cost. We conclude that scenario assessment can provide informative input to multi-level land management decision-making processes.

The soup was unique, as described, SO MANY mushroom soups have heavy cream and dairy. I adore a light broth as a low-cal snack to warm my bones! I put a touch of lite sour cream on top. Changes: (because I didn't have everything in the fridge) I used baby bellas, sherry and added a bay leaf. JUST PERFECT. Thank you, Chandy.
I added a little Worcestershire, more mushrooms and garlic than called for. I only used 4 cups of beef broth but added extra wine. I'm pretty sure the sodium content in mine is less based on the beef froth I used. I have tasted this and it is very good. Will have pre spagetti & meatsauce dinner tonight. Great site and thanks for the recipe.
This is a great soup! I omited the flour and reduced tge oul to half. I added a little sherry wine, worschsier sauce and creamy horseradish. I also used chicken and vegetable broth due to not having any beef broth. Next time, I think I might pur?e some of it for a thicker broth.

Halfway home in this NFL season
Some half decent (and some totally half-baked) observations at the halfway point of yet another half-crazy NFL season.
WE'RE FOCUSED ON THE WRONG HALF: After Mike Shanahan totally botched his QB situation -- and with it, maybe the entire season -- I'm starting to wonder if John Elway made Shanny, not the other way around.
HALF HORRIBLE/HALF AWESOME: Jets punter Steve Weatherford's fake punt on fourth and 18. He would have made it, too, but the guy was slowed down by his gigantic stones.
HE WAS ONLY HALF JOKING: On Monday night a reporter buddy of mine suggested that Peyton Manning could take Indy to the Super Bowl with two guys off the street and me as the Colts' slot receiver. I've always seen myself as a fly-route, downfield burner-type guy, but okay.
HALF OF ONE PERCENT: The chances that Randy Moss will block downfield the first time Chris Johnson cuts one back.
HALF A HUNDRED: You can say the 5-2 Tampa Bay Bucs are for real, but they lost by a combined 50 points to the only two teams they've played (Steelers and Saints) with winning records.
HALFWAY TO MVP: Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Arian Foster, Roddy White, Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers.
WAIT HALF A SECOND, RIVERS? With less than the world's greatest receiving corps he's thrown for more yards in the first eight games of the season than anyone in NFL history and is on pace for 5,298 total.
ALMOST HALF THE LEAGUE: Thirteen teams that have turned to their backup QBs already.
HALF PRICE? And not a single fan has asked for a ticket refund yet even though they are paying full price to watch second-string talent and subpar performances.
ONLY HALF JOKING: The Buffalo Bills might just be the most entertaining 0-7 team in NFL history.
HALFWAY TO THE PLAY OF THE YEAR: The Bucs' LeGarrette Blount's 48-yard Olympic-hurdle-human-rodeo TD run.
MORE THAN HALFWAY TO CANTON: Chargers TE Antonio Gates.
HALF DOZEN, BEFORE I LOST COUNT: Tackles missed Monday night by the Texans' Bernard Pollard.
WAY LESS THAN HALF: The percentage of fans who ever took a hit on a football field who are now calling for players to wear skirts for not tackling head-first for their entertainment.
HALF THE ISSUE: Is the problem really big hits or (1) the fact that the NFL has glorified and marketed itself into a gazillion-dollar business by using the violence it is now fining players for; (2) the fact that technology has turned the helmet from protection into a weapon; (3) that the bizarre culture of the NFL would make players actually come out against rules meant to keep them safe; (4) that our society's insatiable appetite for violence and entertainment would make fans lust so openly for potentially life-altering injuries to their heroes.
HALF HIS BONUS: What DeAngelo Hall owes Jay Cutler.
HALFWAY TO DPOY: Clay Matthews; Osi Umenyiora (he's forced seven fumbles already, did I read that right?); James Harrison/Lawrence Timmons; Jerod Mayo; LaRon Landry; and Ray Lewis/Haloti Ngata.
ALMOST HALF A DOZEN: This week the Bears will feature their fifth different lineup on the offensive line. Which wouldn't be so bad if they had a quarterback who got rid of the ball a few half-seconds sooner.
MORE THAN HALFWAY TO SEVEN BILLS: The Packers' new 360-pound nose tackle Howard Green, who stepped right in and helped Green Bay shut out the Jets -- the most impressive win of the first half.
HALF A DORK: Anyone who uses the term "bills."
IT'S HALF TRUE: Why is it that when anyone else in the world twists their ankle it's a "sprain" but when Brett Favre does it's called a "break"?
YOU HALF TO BE KIDDING: Peyton Manning would like to personally thank the NFL schedule-makers for making the Eagles the fourth team coming off a bye week that the Colts have had to play.
HALF A BRAIN: Arian Foster (6.8 yards per carry) could have run for 250 yards against the Colts if the Texans had actually handed him the ball more than 15 times.
IT'S GOOD TO HALF CYBER FRIENDS: Last week's column on Jay (Cutler) George is at 3,500 Facebook shares and counting. You people are nuts.
HALFWAY TO A BREAKUP: Since teaming up with T.O., Chad Ochocinco's TV ratings and his receiving stats have plummeted. Brace yourself for a major meltdown soon in Cincy. And a second-half winning streak, because no team is better in meaningless games once the playoffs are out of reach than the Bengals.
HALF A LOOK IN MY CRYSTAL BALL: The Colts and Packers winning with half their teams on IR is a glimpse into the future of an 18-game NFL season: Schemes and coaches will be the stars of the league and players will just be generic, interchangeable parts.
HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD: The NFL should make the two worst teams during the first half of the season play in London every year.
HALFWAY TO THE PLAYOFFS: The Chargers.
ONLY HALF COVERED: The kilt-clad bagpipe band playing on the street outside Lucas Oil Stadium.
HALFWAY TO COACH OF THE YEAR RUNNER-UP: The award goes to Mike McCarthy if the Pack continues to win, but right now my runner-up is Steve Spagnuolo, whose Rams have held opponents to 18 or fewer points in seven of their past eight games.
HALF A STEP FASTER: And Colts RB Mike Hart would be a household name. He's got the smarts, the timing, the balance, the heart and the field vision; he just needs a little more burst.
HALFWAY DONE: This column.
HALF THE CRAP: What other Hall of Fame-caliber QBs have had to put up with compared to Donovan McNabb.
HALFWAY TO MY TURKEYS OF THE YEAR LIST: 49ers owner and prognosticator Jed York.
HALF BROTHERS? Am I the only one who thought that at times during his game in New England, Brett Favre looked a lot like the guy from "S--- My Dad Says"?
HALF THE IMPACT WE THOUGHT HE'D HAVE: Tim Tebow, but hey, at least he's been a proud, strong, vocal advocate against what's going on at his alma mater.
HALF AN MVP VOTE: Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw leads the NFL with 10 carries of 20 yards or more.
AN ELITE HALF DOZEN: Broncos wideout Brandon Lloyd is just the sixth receiver since 1970, and the first since 1989, to pile up 800 yards receiving in the first eight games.
HALF NUTS: The last time the Raiders started 4-4 (2002), they went to the Super Bowl.
ALMOST HALF: There have been nine blocked punts this season, four against the Chargers, which helps explain how a team ranked first in offense and first in defense could be 3-5.
HALF THE CREDIT HE DESERVES: Detroit's Kyle Vanden Bosch.
HALF A LIFETIME AGO: Since anyone uttered this phrase: "That Chiefs-Raiders game should be awesome "
HALF AS GOOD: Matt Schaub as a quarterback after he takes a few hits. That pick-six he threw against the Colts was him basically flinching at the prospect of taking another pounding from Indy 'backer Clint Session. "We knew we were getting in his mental," Session told me after the game. "In his mind, you mean?" I asked. "No," Session said with a wry grin that made his massive, awesome beard jump, "his mental." I nominate this as the next great Flem File catchphrase: "Dude, that's three in a row. I am totally in your mental right now, bro." Use it. Spread it. Report back.
HALF SERIOUS: If the Oakland Raiders' offensive line keeps improving, the Raiders could make a run at the postseason.
I MISSED ALMOST HALF: Of the best responses to my Golden Boy hat column -- they're in the comments section of the original piece. Check 'em out.
HALF AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD BE: The officiating.
I HALF FORGOT: A potential Golden Boy II Miami hat is in transit to my home as we speak. Pray for us.
HALFWAY ACROSS THE FIELD: They unfurl a giant American flag in Indy that covers the entire field for the national anthem (sung by Billy Ray Cyrus whose voice sounds like, well, sounds like he'd better pray his daughter keeps making money) and the volunteer at the 45 did a nose wheelie into the FieldTurf and had to crawl his way to safety.
YOU DIDN'T HALF TO DO THAT: Troy Polamalu had a bad game against the Saints, and then he did something that has become a lost art in our society: He stepped forward and admitted it.
WAIT HALF A SECOND: So Randy Moss was cut for making fun of someone's haircut and for complaining about food. He'd better not leave the toilet seat down or park in the wrong space in Tennessee.
HALF THE MAN HE USED TO BE: Wade Phillips. Honestly, it almost looks like Jerry Jones is punishing Wade by forcing him to keep coaching this dreadful team.
ALMOST A DOZEN: The Bears' jump in defensive rankings (11 spots up to sixth) since signing Julius Peppers.
HALF AS PHYSICAL: The Jets' supposedly badass defense has 15 sacks. The Lions have 23.
THE OVERLOOKED HALF: Bucs coach Raheem Morris's declaration that Tampa Bay is the best team in the NFC was more a rip of his conference than a statement about his crew.
HALF A BUCK: What I'd wager on Randy Moss finishing the season in Tennessee.
HE'S GOT HALF A CHANCE: Bucs wideout Mike Williams could be a dark horse for rookie of the year.
HALFWAY TO A FITTING REUNION: Dennis Green, Daunte Culpepper and Randy Moss make magic in the UFL.
AM I HALF NUTS? Rex Grossman? What are we talking about here, Grossman? We're talking about Grossman? Grossman?
HE'D LOSE HALF HIS CHIPS: Is it me, or at his presser on Wednesday did Bills coach Chan Gailey act like he barely even knew who Shawne Merriman was, just hours before the team claimed him on waivers? Coach, take my advice: Don't ever play poker.
HALFWAY TO MY SUPER BOWL PREDICTION: Green Bay and the Texans.
HALF THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES: The Tampa Bay Bucs' Aqib Talib might just be the next Darrelle Revis.
HALF HEARTED: Forget Tony Romo; what happened to the Cowboys' defense?
GUESS WHAT HALF: Of the offense the Chiefs need to work on? Thanks to Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones, KC ranks No. 1 in rushing but they're 32nd in passing offense.
DOING TWICE AS MUCH WITH HALF THE TALENT: Packers, Colts, Tampa Bay, St. Louis.
DOING HALF AS MUCH WITH TWICE THE TALENT: Dallas, Minnesota, Arizona, Cincinnati, San Diego.
WAIT HALF A SECOND: Aren't the Chargers always on this list?
ONLY HALF AS SCARY: Jared Allen 2010 compared to Jared Allen 2009.
I'M ONLY HALF JOKING: Have the Cardinals thought about cutting the rest of their quarterbacks and running a single wing?
HALF MY ITUNES MONEY THIS WEEK: Went to the soundtrack for "Hot Tub Time Machine." Seriously. The last time I had a song order where New Order followed Public Enemy and Salt-N-Pepa were sandwiched between the English Beat and The Replacements, it was on a homemade cassette mix. (Remember those?) Oh, and check out Craig Robinson's sweet version of "Jessie's Girl," too.

We arrived at the hotel to check in and the person that greeted us took us up to our room, showed us all of the amenities, and then checked us in while in our room. We had a great evening in the restaurant/bar, and then a good night sleep in the oversized guest room. The next morning had a wonderful breakfast and then had to leave for the airport.

I am not a Utahn but I believe that Utah is the worlds best hope for government. That is why I hope they will address some important issues. What is the proper role of government? Is it just to unfetter the secret hand of capitalism? Is public education or public health proper concerns of government or should these be relegated solely to the private sector? Is charity to be practiced by private individuals and institutions only or should the government show charity in legislation? Governor Herbert says True charity comes from each of us reaching out a hand to help our neighbor, not from the overreaching hand of government." Elder Uchtdorf says in his prayer Bless all who have been elected by the people of this great state of Utah ... with wisdom and integrity, with courage and foresight, and with kindness and charity to all." Is there contrast here? Should Mormons observation And the people began to be distinguished by ranks, according to their riches and their chances for learning; yea, some were ignorant because of their poverty, and others did receive great learning because of their riches be ignored when funding for education is considered?

What an excellent article! My dad is a rep as well, and has been since 2002. They work very hard serving us as a state, and try to keep everyone in their best interest. My kids and I enjoy our weekly visits to the capital to visit my dad, and to get the candy from the men in the green coats. We are very blessed to live in shuch a wonderful state, where our represenatives do keep the public in view!

To bad one political party has total domination of our state. What this year, a bill to exterminate wolves from the planet, declare Utah a United Nations free zone, give 12 a twelve year old a right to drive in rural Utah. A law requiring everyone to carry a loaded gun. How about Utah seceding from the Union. I know I am being cynical. I just wish they would listen to the people instead Gayle Ruzicka and her self righteous Eagle Forum.

Great article and so insightful.
Regardless of what state or democratic country where anyone can run for an office, no one ever gets into politics to do harm. We may not agree with everyone, that is why we have the right to vote and choose who will represent us but in the end the majority vote wins.
I just ran for parliament, I did not win but I do not feel like a loser, I gave the voters a choice and appreciate every vote that I received. I believe my opponent will do the his best job possible for our electorate

I have a table which has 4 columns. Date login, date logout, time login, time logout.
How can I get the difference. I tried something like this;
SUM(TIMESTAMP(date_logout, time_logout) - TIMESTAMP(date_log, time_log))
However I'm getting a really really high number and I am unable to convert it to proper time. Any hints or clues? I didn't design the table btw :P
Thanks in advance!


text: Posted February 21, 2014 just my .02... i think he's quite aware that he only really has one WR under contract heading into next year. i think he'll try to address that in FA, just like all other needs. going into the draft he's not going to avoid WR and he's not going to favor OL or CB over WR or anything else. he's gonna go BPA, just like he said. it's a very strong class of OTs, CBs, and WRs and there are some very good TEs in the draft as well. chances are that im the first four rounds there will be plenty of options of each and there may very well be a WR when we pick. we could double dip at OT or at WR. it all depends on who is there at the top of the list when we pick. heading into the draft and limiting our options to just one or even two positions would be a mistake. as far as him not doing anything because "the answer is on the roster" at WR isn't going to happen because, well, all there is is smith. he'll bring in more talent. i feel good at our chances of getting a really good WR or two in the draft are good. we'll get our upgrade on the OL and cam will get a new weapon or two because it's obvious to everyone that we need that (and even gettleman said that). at OT i'd look at the really big OTs, and at WR i'd look at WRs who already runs good routes, has good hands, and a diverse route tree. at TE i'd look fore guys who are more of the traditional inline blocker who juat happens to be a good receiver. at CB i'd look at guys who were fast and aggressive and keeps their head in a swivel (size might not matter) who coyld be considered a tweener CB/S and who have done some blitzing. at DE i'd look for guys who, like hardy, can be plugged anywhere along the DL so they'd be bigger guys pushing 285-295 lbs. i also wouldn't be surprised to see us draft another RB, but it would probably be one who is really good catching balls out of the backfield. All good points, Rayz. But what in tarnation is a hoochie screen? :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am using Spring Data JPA in an application in which all entity objects need auditing. I know that I can have each either implement Auditable or extend AbstractAuditable, but my problem is coming with the overall auditing implementation.
The example on the Spring Data JPA reference pages seems to indicate that you need an AuditableAware bean for each entity. Is there any way to avoid this extra code and handle it in one place or through one configuration?

After an extended absence, DevHawk is back on the air (so to speak). My pal Tom had a hardware failure and we've moved DevHawk onto a hosting service. As it turns out, Tom had the hosting service set up over a month ago and I just never got around to making the switch. So, I have no one to blame but myself for being offline so long.
There's much to blog about, but I'll get to that tomorrow. This is as much a test post as anything else.
One quick note, thanks to the relatively-new Windows Live Custom Domains, my blog email is also working again.

I run Windows Vista on a HP TouchSmarttx2. In the last weeks the computer goes randomly into hybrid sleep even through electricity is plugged in and battery is full. What could cause this behavior?
Does it happen when you are working on it or when it is not used?
If it happens when the computer is not used go to Control Panel -> Power Setting and change the standby settings to never or a longer period of time.

This is pretty weird. When I make a new post, any apostrophes in the title are replaced with a question mark (?). Any apostrophes in the entry itself, is replaced with a weird apostrophe. You can see an example at http://stupid.nu/index.php.
Also, this is probably in the documentation somewhere, but how do you make the "Read More..." link show up? while only displaying the preview of the entry?
Thank you so much in advance.

The growth of the Internet and the advent of the computational "Grid" have made it possible to develop and deploy advanced computational collaboratories. These systems build on high-end computational resources and communication technologies underlying the Grid, and provide seamless and collaborative access to particular resources, services or applications. Integrating these "focused" collaboratories presents significant challenges. Key among these is the design and development of robust middleware support that addresses scalability, service discovery, security and access control, and interaction and collaboration management for consistent access. The authors first investigate the architecture of such a middleware that enables global (Web-based) access to collaboratories. They then present the design and implementation of a middleware substrate that enables a peer-to-peer integration of and global (collaborative) access to geographically distributed instances of the DISCOVER computational collaboratory for interaction and steering

Man believed pizza slice was left behind to harass others
We're surprised police even respond to these calls, but at least it makes for good conversation around the dinner table at home. On Monday evening, police were called to the 1300 block of Desoto Street about a "suspicious piece of pizza."
The 43-year-old man demanded that police write out a police report about the slice of pizza, claiming it was left near a fence with the intent to harass. Police described the pizza slice to the Pioneer Press: "The man had found a piece of pizza that was three-quarters eaten, with bite marks in it." It was a cheese and pepperoni pizza with traditional hand-tossed crust, in case you were wondering.
No other potentially harassing slices of partially eaten pizza slices were found at the scene. We can all sleep in peace tonight.

I have the following code for looping through recent news entries in my site:
$my_query = new WP_Query('cat=1&limit=2&orderby=ID&order=ASC');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
It works great.
Except I can't seem to get rid of 'Continue reading →' at the end of my excerpts.
The script sample above is from header.php
Can anyone help me remove Continue Reading or at least change it to something else?
Many thanks

Fake bomb threat closes 3 schoolsMarch 28,2014LUDLOW — An unidentified out-of-state student faces charges after spurring a bomb scare that closed this town's elementary, middle and high schools Wednesday.
Police said a boy from Fall Mountain Regional High School in Langdon, N.H., upset with adults who monitor students' social media sites, decided to post a bomb threat on the Internet.
"It was a hoax," said Ludlow Police Chief Jeffrey Billings. "He was trying to see whether people were watching his Facebook page. He learned the hard way."
The boy will be cited to appear in White River Junction criminal court.
Ludlow students will have to make up the lost school day in June.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged
