Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies & Silpat Giveaway
Happy Friday! Today's post is a fun one! Not only do we have a delicious cookie recipe to share with you, but we also have a Silpat giveaway!
First, let's talk cookies. You NEED to make these Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies-like right now. They are filled with all of the good things in life-coconut, oatmeal, cocoa, and chocolate chips. There is also coconut oil involved. Ever since I made Coconut Granola, I've become obsessed with coconut oil. It is amazing stuff and works wonders in these cookies.
The Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are chewy, hearty, and oh so delicious! I wanted to eat the entire batch, but since it is bathing suit season, I thought I better share. I brought these cookies to a little get together with a few of my food blogging friends-they all gave them two thumbs up! So you know these cookies are good if a group of food bloggers approved:)
Do some baking this weekend and make Coconut Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! They are packed full with yumminess! For the recipe and step-by-step photos visit Tasty Kitchen.
And now for the fun Silpat giveaway! I use my Silpat non-stick baking mats every time I bake cookies, which is almost every day. They don't leave my baking sheets, unless I am washing them. They are the best invention ever! Silpats never need greasing, are easy to clean, and you can use them over and over again. They save time, money, and the environment! I also love their other products-Silpain (non-stick baking mat for breads) and Roul'Pat (non-stick countertop workstation mat).
This giveaway is now closed! The winner is Megan (#1289). Congratulations! Thanks to everyone who entered!
Silpat Giveaway includes ($100 value):
- One Silpat Baking Mat-Half Size
- One Silpain-Half Size
- One Roul'Pat-Full Size

Althought, it can be a tiresome burden to not be able to fall asleep and sleep soundly through the night without copious amounts of sedatives.
Maybe. I've found lately that leaving a lamp on actually helps me sleep better. It's not out of a fear of the dark or anything. I notice that when I turn off all lights it literally leaves me with nothing but my thoughts and then they just go ape shite. But if I leave a lamp on I feel more like you do when you hop into bed for an afternoon nap or something and find it easier to doze off.

On another thread there was a discussion of a wonderful weekend had by the janitor - my comment being to enjoy the experience as there would be others not quite so enjoyable.
Folks trying to be relevant posted & I responded to those posts, but it seems the resident legal mind decided he would enter the fray -
Are you a mind reader? Do you have any idea what I was presenting? Do you believe I was baiting anyone? So I went looking for pelts by mjh & couldn't find any :o. That does not surprise me. There's a lot of things that go on on the forums but the only folks that really impress me are those folks that train or substantially participate in the training of their own dogs, don't use some cheap Co-Owner ruse to scam the system, accept what titles they are personally able to attain on their dogs, & keep their nose out of venues they don't understand :-P.Quote:

Spring farmers market set for April 14-May 12
Posted April 8, 2009; 06:21 p.m.
The weekly campus farmers market at Firestone Plaza will return this spring for five weeks. The market will be open Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 14 through May 5. The final market will be open from 3 to 6 p.m. May 12 to coincide with other campus events celebrating the Dean's Date deadline for written coursework.
Members of the University and local communities will have an opportunity to purchase fresh locally grown produce and other goods from area farmers and businesses that use sustainable practices. Items expected to be available include organic fruits and vegetables, grass-fed beef and lamb, free-range poultry and eggs, cheeses, breads, baked goods, ice cream and coffee.
The farmers market is an initiative of Greening Princeton, a student organization devoted to improving environmental sustainability, and is staffed by volunteers from the group.
"Over the past two years the Princeton community has proven that we can provide sufficient demand to support a successful farmers market," said senior Ruthie Schwab, a co-founder of the market. "This spring we are inviting some new vendors, increasing our efforts to raise community awareness and making plans to accommodate student schedules by developing a special Dean's Date market."
Dining Services will have a table at the market featuring cooking demonstrations by Princeton chefs. Visitors can learn more about sustainability efforts at the University through informational tables from campus groups. In addition, the market will feature live music performed by Princeton students.
The market was created out of discussions by the Greening Dining Group, a partnership between Greening Princeton and Dining Services. It also is sponsored by the Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Princeton Environmental Institute, the Office of Sustainability, Building Services, the Department of Grounds and Building Maintenance, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, the Undergraduate Student Government Projects Board and a grant from the High Meadows Foundation.
For a list of participating vendors and for more information, visit the farmers market website.

Furstenberg comes home with rug line
October 14, 2003,
New York — High-end area rug supplier and retailer The Rug Company is producing a collection of hand-made wool and wool and silk rugs from Nepal using archival designs by Diane von Furstenberg. Jennifer Talbott, public relations director, Diane von Furstenberg Studios, said it was the designer's first foray into home textiles.
Initially, the collection comprises five prints — four interpreted into a wool construction and the fifth made of blended wool and silk, Christopher Sharp, owner, The Rug Company, told HTT.
"Diane's got a fantastic archive of great prints, and that is what attracted us to her," Sharp said. The Rug Company Designer collection has collaborated with other fashion design firms in the past, such as Paul Smith, Marni, Lulu Guinness and Matthew Williamson.
"The Rug Company seemed like the perfect fit for this venture," said Talbott.
At $2,975 for a 5' x 7' wool rug and $4,375 for a 5' x 7' wool and silk blend rug, the collection hits a higher retail price point than The Rug Company's average home-brand offerings, which sell for about $1,900.

Walk a Little Slower Daddy
"Walk a Little slower, Daddy." said a little child so small.
I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see.
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true.
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!!" – Author Unknown
Yesterday was Fathers day, a day that we honor our Fathers and thank them for (insert thanks here). Yesterday I spent my Fathers day delivering my daughter to Girls State. Oregon Girls State, a premiere leadership, volunteer and citizenship training program unlike any other. Oregon Girls State is a program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Department of Oregon. Each summer they host a one-week session for young women to come and learn about our governmental and public systems and how to become actively involved in the community as leaders. This program gives young women an opportunity to experience state government in a hands-on, interactive environment. This will be a stretch for my daughter and I am sure she will find herself having a wonderful time. When we departed Willamette University yesterday, she had already met a group of young ladies that grabbed her and made her feel welcome. This will be a life changing event for her.
At the same time, my wife took our oldest son to the University of Oregon to Boy's State for the week. Then after Boy's State, he is off to Camp Pioneer for the rest of the summer as a Staffer.
Our youngest son was along for the rideyesterday, but at least got to see the Football stadium at UofO. It was an interesting Fathers day capped off with a great dinner with my Dad.. so what am I thankful for as a Father. Great kids.
What am I thankful about my Father. He has been a great role model, a mentor and someone I have always looked up to. Yesterday was Father's day.. and like most Dad's I am helped my kids take a step closer to finding their dream. And that suites me just fine.
Hope you had a Great Father's day.. and a Great Scouting Day!

BOSS VT-1 Voice Transformer
The VT-1 Voice Transformer is like a simple modern-day Vocoder + Harmonizer and then some! Its purpose is to alter the human voice, ideal for DJ's, techno, and other creative uses. The VT-1 will perform such effects as de-tuning, +/- 1 octave pitch shifting, formant shifting and it has built-in digital reverb. There are four prominent sliders for the aforementioned effects. And the Robot button does in fact produce a somewhat vocoder-like sound by fixing the pitch of your voice and fuzzing it. Using the Robot effect in conjunction with the formant and pitch sliders can get some pretty weird vocoder sounds.
The VT-1 has mic-input with adjustable trim level so you can run your voice, or get creative and feed loops and sounds through the VT-1 and transform away with this affordable and simple table-top effect unit. The VT-1 also has its place in professional broadcast work. It can be used to adjust the pitch or even the gender of a person's voice and still sound natural. Or use it to thicken up or harmonize a vocal track for a jingle or commercial track. It's fun, colorful, easy to use, economical and can be quite a useful source of unique effects and sounds, if you're into this sort of thing! Apollo 440 used it for all vocals on "Stop the Rock".

Jake needs to be allowed to test the market. We can get another OT in the second round, a la Martin.
Jake needs to be allowed to test the market. We can get another OT in the second round, a la Martin.
Hey you try to sign him to a honest and modest contract just like Ireland did with C. Wake and P. Saloi. Long will demand big bucks and at worst you franchise him until you have a replacement in the fold. One of our largest concerns is that stat wise this team is playing really well but that means coughing up some big bucks not just for Long but we have Hartline, Starks, S Smith and some others to consider resigning so all that cap money could get real thin real quick if we spend it on the our own players which is preferable.
Hope he isnt the next Tony Boselli
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
Long will be tagged.
Ireland has said time and time again that Jake Long isnt going anywhere. If that isnt enough to convince you, then let me ask this....is there anyone we can get in free agency or in the draft that can replace his skill set? Definitely not. If we can afford him (wich we clearly can), then you sign him.
For those who want to let him walk, whats your replacement plan? Moving Martin to LT just creates a hole at RT.
This is a very crazy thought,offer Jake to the Jets straight up for Revis. Contracts would be a wash,Martin to Left tackle ,draft a right tackle. Revis is a question mark with the knee,however even if he comes back 1/2step slower he is still the best cb in the league. Sparano loves Jake
What the hell? So I've been told finding a quality LT is just as hard as finding a good quaterback. We spent the number 1 overall pick on him due to the importance of his position and fans are saying "let him walk" and "he's been average"...Goodness people, resign this man and fill other holes rather than make more. Jake needs to retire a fin considering he has played well, has become a leader on this team and we invested the 1st overall pick on him.

Wilson School launches University Channel
Posted July 27, 2005; 10:04 a.m.
The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs has launched the University Channel, a video project that makes public lectures from a consortium of universities available for viewing on TV and the Internet.
The University Channel collects video recordings of lectures on public and international affairs from many universities. The footage is minimally edited and available online for viewing, streaming and downloading.
Anne-Marie Slaughter, dean of the Wilson School, said the University Channel creates a much-needed public platform for the serious discussion of critical issues. "I feel it is important to create a media outlet under the direction of academics where intelligent viewers can find the kind of analysis and dialogue that rarely gets aired on commercial media," she said.
Initial contributions to the University Channel include the recent Princeton University colloquium on "Rethinking the War on Terror"; a Harvard Law School conference on politics and the Internet called "Votes, Bits & Bytes"; and a talk on "Being Opinionated in America" from the University of California-Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. New lectures will be added weekly.
University Channel lectures can be viewed as streaming video directly from the Web site and also are being offered to TV stations for re-broadcast. In the Princeton area, Patriot Media distributes University Channel material on its cable TV video-on-demand service. Some community access channels are picking up programs for re-broadcast in Princeton and other areas of the country, including Chicago and Cambridge, Mass.
Plans include distributing lectures through IPTV systems -- which provide interactive TV program services via the Internet -- being deployed on university campuses. Some lectures are available as audio downloads for iPods and computers. Subscribers to online media services such as RSS and Podcast also may access some of the content.
"The University Channel is taking advantage of digital flexibility to make important university lectures, panels and events as widely available to the public as possible," said Donna Liu, director of the University Channel. "We are creating a unique partnership of academics and broadcasting. A growing number of universities recognize the value of recording and archiving their important ideas and discussions on video, but have yet to find a suitable way to get this material beyond their campus walls and out to the public. The University Channel fills that need."

Rowdy is getting tired of this drill. But he has successfully completed it.
It is kinda long but might be worthwhile to watch. If for no other reason than to watch an old man recovering from back surgery "dash" out to one of the bumpers. It is the second left angle back. When I threw it out it rolled partially through the fence. I was afraid that my neighbors lab would get it. I'll bet I could run a 100 yd dash in less that three minutes. LOL!
Also notice that our neighbors choc. lab is wearing a bark collar as there is no noise.

Fashion designers from Pasadena, California, sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, together named Rodarte after their mother's maiden name, first showed their clothing line during fashion week in spring 2005. Criterion asked the sisters, who've since become fixtures of the New York fashion world and whose clothes have been inspired by films in the Criterion Collection (from Late Spring to The Double Life of Véronique) to pick their ten favorite Criterion releases, and they happily obliged.
1. Beauty and the Beast serves as a metaphor for the artistic process, exploring the creative through mythology and the arc of the fairy tale. One must travel to dark and mysterious places in order to be saved. Diamond tears, spilled for those brief and elusive moments in life, offer a glimpse of universal clarity. This movie, in its own way, displays a sense of perfection . . . but it is fleeting, as if seen in a rearview mirror. Ultimately, it is an instruction manual on how to fall in love with another, with oneself, and with true beauty. Cocteau never suggests that all fairy tales end happily ever after, and maybe it is better this way.
2. Epic. Wagnerian. A love story told in vibrant colors, sound, chinoiseries, wallpaper, and sheets of rain.
3. Hiroshima mon amour has possibly the best opening of any film, ever. History unfolds in a dreamlike narrative; love and passion intersect with violence, beauty, and the foreign. The notion of romantic love is blinding, intoxicating, horrifying, and breathtaking . . . like the afterglow of a nuclear holocaust.
4. Bergman's intended swan song offers amazing insight into the vision of one of the world's greatest auteurs. Fanny and Alexander is a meditation on art, beauty, religion, and family. Personal history is both truth and fairy tale; it unfolds like a dream or a Swedish summer night where darkness never comes. In the end, Bergman asserts that one's past has the power to both save and destroy. This idea is profoundly hopeful, and yet terribly devastating.
5. The first time I watched this film, I felt truly alone and isolated. The juxtaposition of European society and civility with the untamed landscape results in vast and expansive mystery. There is a desperation that comes from watching this film. Of course, this could only end in one way: the cannibalism of Victorian sensibilities.
6. I love the moment in French cinema this film captures: the height of the French new wave, when Truffaut honestly believed he could lead a revolution against the bourgeois establishment with a camera and impeccable taste. It is funny, however, that any truly brilliant piece of political artistry eventually becomes seen as established taste. No matter how you view the film, as a feat of aestheticism or a revolution of sorts, it is incredibly stunning and thought provoking.
7. This is one of our all-time favorite films. The Silence of the Lambs is a truly brilliant and uniquely American horror film. It exists as a fragile spiderweb: at the heart of this web a strange and delicate truth remains trapped, always with the hope of escape . . . The intimacy that develops and exists between the characters can be destroyed at any moment, and that is the true terror that propels the action. Ultimately, these fragile relationships are used to explore the most perverted aspects of the American dream: excess, greed, and violence.
8. This film makes me glad that we are from Northern California, raised by two dreamers, but secretly jealous that we're not Rockefellers or Vanderbilts. Sometimes we can't tell if we love these characters or despise them . . . you know, sort of like your old stuffed animals.
9. This movie is almost a complete inversion of Louis Malle's Au revoir les enfants, where the horrors of Vichy France are made all the more terrible juxtaposed to the innocence and ideal of youth. Here, you have the violence of Mussolini and terror of Fascist Italy completely erased by the antics of a bunch of horny teenagers. This film is visually gorgeous; the scene where the peacock flies in the snow always stays in mind. What makes this film so interesting is the notion that idealized beauty is not enough—visual beauty is grounded by the humanity and sometimes fallibility of the characters.
10. Eric Rohmer is one of our all-time favorite directors. All of the "Six Moral Tales" contained in the box set are brilliant. La collectionneuse is our favorite. It is sparse and dreamlike. Every second moves languidly; every detail revealed with warmth . . . Time unfolds in this film just like summer.

Hey all,
So I've been living up in AK for the past 10 years. I recently moved to ND this past November and was able to pull a ND tag. My partner and I hunted the 13th in knee deep snow. Wow I forgot how fun hunting turkey is!! We managed to call in a nice tom in the morning and in the afternoon I called in a jake for my buddy. Great times!!
So fun I decided to buy a Black Hills tag. I will be headed that way the first weekend in May. Plan to hunt that Friday-Monday. I have never been in the area but have some maps coming from the Forest Service Dep now.
What I am looking for are some ideas of start points. I will be coming in through Spearfish. I will most likely be looking for an area to park and hike into the hills from there. I will have gear to spend two to three days in if I need to. Would like to cover a bunch of land and experience of bit of the Black Hills.
Any info on these birds, what to look for, what areas to spend my time in would be greatly appreciated. This trip I will be making alone.
Thanks for any and all responses.

On January 31, 2014, all benefits-eligible faculty and staff will be required to enroll any iOS or Android device accessing Stanford email or calendar in Stanford's MDM program. This includes Stanford-provided devices, devices which receive a stipend, and personally owned devices. Are you ready? This session talked about Stanford's MDM program.
While most personal computers on campus are password-protected, only a few of us configure our mobile phones with a password or PIN to protect it against unauthorized use. And, since mobile devices are easily (and frequently) misplaced, the potential for unauthorized access increases.

Obviously a buyers market.
We are trying to list our house and realtor paints a bleak picture. Worth about 3/4 of what we thought it could list for taking into account the economy. Seems as if people around us are all short selling their houses, effectively driving our price down. First time home buyers in the 100 to 150K range are buying like crazy.
What a big mess this country is in.

My Story began on May 5th when I discovered I was pregnant with my first child. I have never been pregnant prior to this and I was incredibly excited. I rushed into my husbands and mine's bedroom waking him up from bouncing on the bed and showing him the two lines on the pregnancy test. It was my happiest moment in my life so far. My pregnancy progressed pretty normally; they were concerned about me becoming a diabetic due to family history so they were keeping a close eye on my blood sugar levels. It never became a...

Well my story would begin three days before my daughter was born. I was having horrific upper abdominal pain that would wrap around to my upper back right in between my shoulder blades, along with a tightening feeling in my chest that felt like heart burn only 50 times worse and wouldn't go away... In the early morning of day three (July 14, 2016) I had all I could take and went in the ER. They ran a bunch of tests then and once they did an ultrasound they found I had an enlarged gallbladder and gallstones. Well I guess with all the stress and pain I was in, it threw me in labor. I had my daughter about 4:30 pm. A couple days later we were home again. I was still in a lot of pain but we... Read More

I remember it like it was yesterday. The day I went in for what I thought was a routine prenatal checkup turned out to be one of the most emotional, scariest days of my life. I certainly never expected to end up in the hospital in tears. The remaining five weeks of my pregnancy thereafter were much of the same. The Diagnosis: Thirty-two weeks pregnant and feeling somewhat okay, I headed to the doctor's office on my lunch break for a routine checkup. I told my coworkers I'd be... Read More

I was 37 weeks when my midwives took me off bedrest because I could officially go into labor safely. I begged them to let me stay off work because I was so swollen I couldn't walk, and I had this paralyzing pain in my right side that would me out of nowhere. But it was a no. I went back to work, but only part time because my body couldn't handle anything more. I had gained 60 pounds, I was swollen everywhere, but they said everything I was experiencing was normal. How would I know any different? Maybe I was just being a baby and needed to suck it up. My widwi always showed interest in the baby but nothing in me. Was what I was going through really normal?

I am an RN in the emergency department...one night while at work I took a pregnancy test, not expecting it to be positive since I was only a day late. To my surprise it was positive...I actually thought that I was seeing things. I was working the night shift at the time, so when I came home in the morning and told my husband he was shocked as well, happy but shocked.

My husband and I conceived very quickly on April 1 2015. We were only trying for two months and then we were pregnant. My pregnancy was going great. As a first time mom I was pleased with how things were going. I was working, taking a prenatal swim class, finishing grad school and feeling pretty wonderful minus some lower back pain.At about 32 weeks, while my husband was away for work, I noticed that when I went to lay down at about 5:30p.m. I didn't feel the baby's usual movements. I was worried, I texted my husband, and he told me not to mess around. So I called my doctor, went into L&D with my mother in law by my side and that is when things got tricky.They noticed I had high BP... Read More

My journey with Preeclampsia started unknowingly at just 21 weeks pregnant. A usual person's New Year starts with excitement and fun while mine started with me waking up with hands so swollen I couldn't even bend my fingers and they hurt so bad. I was hot and grumpy and I really just thought it was pregnancy, but then I checked my blood pressure and it was 144/93 and I thought that was a little high compared to normal. I mentioned it to my mom, but we both just brushed it off. Every day from that point I woke up in the morning crying with swollen hands and I would spend my days sitting around with the windows open in the middle of winter because I was so hot... Read More

I found out I was pregant for the 5th time and shortly thereafter I learned I was expecting twins. I was 35 years old and happy to learn of our new additions. However, in the third trimester I began to have swelling and blood work indicated low platelets. As the end week progressed I learned I had a condition known as HELLP syndrome. My platelets were low bordering severe levels and liver enzymes and various other tests were being carefully monitored. I was admitted to the hospital as my platelets continued to lessen. Constant blood work being drawn and it was a less than joyous occassion as I became extremely anxious and concerned. I prayed daily and that faith brought me through. I was... Read More

I didn't show any signs of preeclampsia, and everything was looking normal for my pregnancy. On Thursday July 28, I went to my ob-gyn to find I was 3cm dilated. She checked me out inside, broke my plug, and started the process of my son coming into the world. I began getting contractions, sporatically for a couple of days. On July 30, at 3:30AM, my partner and I decided to head to the hospital. Upon arrival, I... Read More

5 suggestions for when you have a friend or family member in the hospital This is meant to be helpful for those who do have someone in the hospital. I spent 30 days in the hospital prior to my daughter being born. I learned a lot from my experience and want to share it with others to be helpful for those who do have to go through a tough time. It's impossible to know what someone will need or want until you experience it yourself. 1. If you have a friend or family member in the hospital, especially if it's for an extended stay, visit with her. Those hospital days are long and painful. It really hurts to be separated from your...

I then was on my way home to Auburn, Ny. When I thought I had to use the bathroom and thought I peed myself so we stopped at my befriends brotheds house in Liverpool, Ny, where I then went to the bathroom and noticed I was gushing blood so I immediately got scared and told my sons father in a text what was going on and that we had to go because I was embarrassed to say it out...

On June 6th, I got sent to the hospital while I was at my obgyn appointment doing my stress test. I was having contractions 3 minutes apart, my blood pressure was extremely high, but was only dilated to a one. While at the hospital they tested me for pre-eclampsia and that of course came back positive. They decided to break my water, to try and help get my baby boy here. After 4 days, (72 hours) of labor, they decided it would be best to do a c section, because I was only dilated to a 3. June 9th, at 6:36am My precious baby boy was born, heatlhy weighing 7lbs 14oz.

It all started when I found out I was pregnant with difficulties. When I found out I was pregnant things turned badly, my baby was small and not growing like a normal baby should to my baby possibly have down syndrome. Things turned better but my little bean still was small but didn't have DS. I was just 22 weeks along when I realized my feet got swollen, blurry vision, and having bad headaches. I thought nothing of it and told myself, I'm fine. With my first I didn't have any complications she's ten years old now. I was sixteen when I had my first, I'm now twenty seven years old.

I had been diagnosed with hypertension when I was in my 20s. (Thank you, genetics). I was on and off meds for a few years, and for at least a whole year, my blood pressure was measuring fine, and I had not been on any medication. I got married in 2011, and we were finally ready to start a family in 2014. We found out my due date was smack dab on Valentine's Day, 2015! I was hesitant to tell family (even my parents) until 12 weeks, but my doctor said we could (I was almost 7 weeks) in case of any complications. At that point - I knew "complications" could probably only mean miscarriage - preeclampsia had not even entered my mind. So we went on and surprised... Read More

Out two previous pregnancies had been basically normal- I had extreme morning sickness & gestational diabetes (diet-controlled) in the first pregnancy, but typical morning sickness in the second and no diabetes. In this pregnancy I had been able to avoid morning sickness by making sure my stomach was never completely empty. Except for a single severe headache one Sunday in May (didn't even consider contacting Dr., since it was gone by next morning), I'd had no exceptional discomforts.

The following is excerpted from a December 28, 2011 article by Peter Burrows published by Bloomberg:
Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple (AAPL) Inc., told his biographer that he'd rather wage "thermonuclear war" with Google Inc. than make deals to share its technology with the maker of the Android operating system.
That was no empty threat. In the 18 months before Jobs died on Oct. 5, Apple sued HTC Corp. (2498), Samsung Electronics Co. and Motorola Mobility Inc., the three largest Android users. It alleged that the phone makers stole Apple's technology and asked courts to make them stop.
Now, as rulings start coming in, it might be time for a détente that helps Apple maximize the value of its patents, said Kevin Rivette, a managing partner at 3LP Advisors LLC, a firm that advises on intellectual property. When courts side with Apple and impose bans on infringing products, competitors can often devise workarounds; in cases where Apple doesn't win import restrictions, it would be better off striking settlements that ensure access to a competitor's innovation, he said.
For a time, Apple's strategy looked sound. In October, an Australian court banned the sale of Samsung's Galaxy 10.1 tablet in that country, and the U.S. International Trade Commission agreed to consider an import ban on sales of certain HTC devices.
Then the tide began to turn. Apple suffered a setback Nov. 30 when a higher Australian court overturned the ruling against Samsung. On Dec. 22, a German judge said he was unlikely to uphold an import ban on a version of the Galaxy, which Samsung had modified in response to a ban on the original design.
The ITC gave Apple only a partial victory on Dec. 19 by ruling that HTC had violated only one of four patents Apple said it infringed. The patent covered so-called data detection, a feature that helps users make a call, send an e-mail or find an address on a map with a single keystroke.

"Many Moons Ago."
The moon's path across the sky changes every night. Here the moon's changing path is captured from a single camera location on five consecutive August nights. On the fifth night, I also photographed the sunset from the same camera position.
Behind the lens.
This was an incredibly difficult image to create. The weather forecast called for five days of clear skies (very unusual here), starting on the night of the full moon. I set a sturdy tripod on a friend's deck, and planned the image. Each night, every five minutes, I took three moon images -- one dark, one light and one normal. On the fifth night, at sunset, I asked Tracy to canoe across the lake. I then selected the best moon exposures for each night, assembled the moonbows, and layered in the canoe image. So this image literally started as many hundreds of photographs, all taken from a single point. The end result is a five-night long exposure that captures an inspiring celestial event.
"Lake McDonald Pearls."
The reflection in Lake McDonald makes a pearl necklace out of the moon's path across the sky, from moonrise to moonset. I started this photograph at about 11 PM and finished around 4 AM.
Behind the lens.
This is one of our most technically challenging photographs. On the previous night, I was photographing the moonset from the other side of Lake McDonald. Standing on the gravel beach, in the silent glow of a full moon, I studied the moon's path and then stared across the lake. Back to the moon, then back across the lake. Over and over. Suddenly, this image appeared in my head. You know what that meant -- I had to return the following night and stay awake AGAIN if I hoped to create this image before the weather forecast brought wind and the surface reflection was lost.
I showed up early the following evening, took my compass readings, and set up my gear. A handful of tourists overcame their shyness to ask why I was sitting there next to my camera but not taking photos. I tried my best to describe the moonbow that I hoped would happen later that night -- a scene that I had never actually seen anywhere but inside my head. Most of the people I talked to nodded politely and at least pretended to comprehend my challenged description. "You mean you have to stay up all night?!" Yes, I said, knowing just how strange I must have seemed to them. But for this photograph, strange was worth it...
"Eagle Talons."
A Bald Eagle catches a fish from a small Montana lake. The progression is shown in 0.2 second intervals, and from beginning to end is 0.8 (eight tenths) of a second. (Note cards available here.)
Behind the lens.
As a biologist, I spent years monitoring Bald Eagles in Glacier National Park. I've seen Eagles catch fish and ducks many times, but it always happens so fast that I can never tell exactly how they do it. So I imagined this sequential photograph for a long time, in the back of my mind, before I was actually able to document the event with a camera.
Like most birds, Eagles fly with their feet and legs held tight to the body for aerodynamic reasons. As they stoop on a prey item, the legs rotate forward and the talons extend, hitting the fish with force and locking down. As they start to fly away, they'll often turn the fish around head-first, again, for aerodynamic reasons. It's a beautiful sequence that's been perfected by countless generations of Bald Eagles -- and it happens in the blink of an eye.

'Friday Nights, Celestial Lights' astronomy event is June 19
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 17, 2009)--(Editor's Note, 4:30 p.m., Friday, June 19, 2009): The film screening will proceed as scheduled, but because of possible cloudy weather the status of the telescope observing will be determined at 8:30 p.m. See the latest updates on the Department of Physics and Astronomy Web site.)
The UTSA astronomy faculty invite the star-struck to to enjoy the fourth installment of its signature series, "Friday Nights, Celestial Lights," at 7:30 p.m., Friday, June 19 in Science Building Room 2.01.12 on the Main Campus. The event, which will include a movie and stargazing, is free and open to the public.

The June event will begin with a 7:30 p.m. showing of "Rocky Jones, Space Ranger: Crash of the Moons." The black-and-white film, based on a 1954 television series, unravels when a pair of populated "gypsy" moons threatens to collide with the planet Opheish. The planet's evil queen, Cleolantra, played by Patsy Parsons, refuses the help of the United Worlds and plots to destroy both the moons and the Space Rangers. Actor Richard Crane also stars.
Following the movie at approximately 9 p.m., weather permitting, attendees can view Earth's moon, Saturn's largest moon and other cosmic objects from the Science Building fourth-floor patio. UTSA's advanced collection of telescopes will be available for stargazing including a 15-inch Newtonian telescope and several 8-inch Cassegrain telescopes.
Sponsored by the Department of Physics and Astronomy, the UTSA astronomy events are inspired by the International Year of Astronomy, which commemorates the 400th anniversary of Galileo Galilei using a telescope to observe the heavens.
Reservations to attend the evening events are not required, but seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Both the lecture hall (Room SB 2.01.12) and the Science Building fourth-floor patio are wheelchair accessible.

- Looking Forward
SkyCross Vice President of R&D and Engineering Bob Giometti discusses antenna design trends with MWRF.

NF: What trends in the mobile industry are most affecting antenna design? Are small cells and heterogeneous networks (HetNets) causing the biggest headaches?

• Interview: SenarioTek Co-Founders Simi Ghiasvand And Bob Alman
• Interview: Element Six's Adrian Wilson
BG: Most significantly, we're seeing an increase in the number of antennas per handset. Traditionally, phones have had one main cellular antenna and a receive diversity antenna. In order to meet multiband requirements and have a single phone model support multiple regions, however, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are now using two or more main antennas as well as a diversity antenna. In addition, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) adds the option for a transmit diversity antenna, which can be utilized in a 2x2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) configuration. LTE-A also supports higher levels of MIMO, such as 3x3 and 4x4. That's even more antennas to pack into a very small and thin housing. Plus, many OEMs are trying to create new and exciting designs through the use of materials that are not necessarily "antenna-friendly."
WiFi also is transitioning from a single antenna to MIMO along with the addition of 5-GHz-band support. WiFi devices need additional antennas for Bluetooth, GPS, and near-field communications (NFC). More antennas can deliver better performance across the 700-to-2900-MHz bands. But they create design challenges in terms of space and cost. Multiple antennas also present performance challenges. Devices must have sufficient isolation so that there is low correlation in the far field to support the higher data rates.
Small cells and HetNets also present challenges. Mobile operators are eager to provide the next level of performance supported by LTE-Advanced. Small cells are being used to deliver LTE-A cell service in a small geographic space, such as sports stadiums. The challenge is not that it's particularly hard to design a femtocell antenna. Rather, it is difficult for the smartphone to know how to interact with HetNets or how to execute fast, smooth handovers between networks.
NF: We also are seeing an increase in antennas for WiFi systems and, of course, a rise in distributed antenna systems (DASs). Can you share some numbers and insight into those trends?
BG: LTE adoption has accelerated the consumer demand for global data services. This demand has the potential to overwhelm service capacity, but many providers mitigate this issue by offloading data onto WiFi networks. HetNets enable service providers to absorb demand. Service providers also are generating additional revenue streams by offering new WiFi-based services.
According to a report issued by online research firm ReportsnReports.com, small cells and carrier WiFi deployments are expected to carry more than 60% of all mobile network data traffic by 2020—accounting for $352 billion in mobile data service revenue. The report also notes that small cells, carrier WiFi, DAS, and cloud RAN infrastructure investments will account for a $42-billion HetNet ecosystem by 2020.
NF: What design challenges have been created by the growth of WiFi systems in particular?
BG: As I mentioned, the growing number of antennas creates design challenges. In addition, passive intermodulation (PIM) can create interference in WiFi signals from sources that designers may not anticipate. Designing antennas with low PIM is one of the challenges. WiFi access points (APs) also are integrating LTE capability, so that adds even more antennas.
NF: Is wireless broadband currently driving the most growth in terms of antenna-design market numbers?
BG: We don't think this is the case. It's possible for someone to have a 4G phone without a data plan. We see growth coming from smartphones with data plans. As such, mobile data should fuel significant growth. It's important to keep in mind, however, that core mobile voice services continue to grow in much of the world. Mobile broadband data is still in its early stages worldwide. Wireless broadband is a driver of antenna growth, but not the biggest driver.
NF: For antenna designers, what does wireless broadband mean in terms of tradeoffs they must accomplish, constraints they must adhere to, requirements that must be satisfied, etc.?
BG: Near-term requirements call for utilization of a single mobile band. But the industry is soon moving beyond that, which will add new design constraints and requirements. A key feature of LTE-A is carrier aggregation, which uses multiple LTE bands/channels simultaneously to achieve higher data rates. Carrier aggregation combines up to five 20-MHz channels to create one ultra-fast, reliable channel. In doing so, it enables new levels of services, such as concurrent voice and downloading of video. Though appealing, leveraging multiple bands in parallel over multiple antennas without interference and with low correlation is often challenging for system-level designers.
NF: Are material developments keeping pace with today's antenna developments?
BG: Yes, materials are evolving along with mobile handsets. Manufacturers are using new enclosure materials ranging from plastics to metals. They're also developing rugged phones that are more water- and shock-resistant and working to eliminate cracked screens via flexible phones with displays based on newer organic-light-emitting-diode (OLED) plastics.
As these designs become reality, antenna design also is shifting. For example, new laser-direct-structure (LDS) designs allow antennas to be more easily integrated while using less space within a phone. And there are new techniques for making flexible, foldable antennas using flexible printed-circuit boards (FPCBs). New methods also are being used to combine multiple antennas together on a common structure. These structures are more spatially efficient and can be placed on the back of a phone or around the edges, enabling innovative form factors.

Hi Hasbro, I'm sure you plan on eventually doing nonarmored clones (probably next year if not 2004?), but I'm wondering if you might consider releasing a 2 pack on a single card? It would be cool to get a Bodie Taylor clone in red outfit as well as a Daniel Logan clone in blue with headset (removable).
I know the adult clone by himself would warrant a single release from your POV, but I think the younger clone would be a better pack-in than many accesories (plates and forks?) that might otherwise be included. Furthermore, I fear a Daniel Logan clone might not see release as a single figure because he could be confused with the Boba Fett figure(s). Then again, the younger clone could be released with articulated kness and a work station . . . so maybe you will be taking that route.
Thanks for your time.

French Adolescence Education (Grades 7-12)
Spanish Adolescence Education (Grades 7-12)
Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT)
This adolescence education program is for students who have an undergraduate degree
in French or Spanish and seek certification to teach either subject in grades 7-12.
Students who complete the degree are eligible for initial certification (see Teacher Certification for more information).
Applicants must have a baccalaureate degree and an undergraduate major in either French or Spanish. The applicant's undergraduate work must be acceptable to the Romance Languages Department in Harpur College, as well as to the Graduate School of Education. Students without appropriate undergraduate preparation are required to take additional intermediate and upper- level courses to be eligible to apply to this program.
Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better in their content area and overall. It is recommended that students meet with a graduate advisor prior to applying to the MAT French or MAT Spanish program.

If all prerequisite undergraduate requirements have been met, the MAT degree requires three semesters of full-time study (or the equivalent of part-time study). Students may begin their degree programs in either the fall or spring semester, but will be admitted for the spring semester only if space permits. Matriculated students are expected to successfully complete LTRC 519, SEC 500, SEC 593, and 100 clock-hours of fieldwork before being admitted to the fall student teaching semester. Read about Fieldwork Requirements. Because the Master of Arts in Teaching course of study is a unique graduate program that results in a professional credential, we expect our students to conduct themselves professionally at all times in both University and school classrooms.

Emphysema gradually damages the air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs, making you progressively more short of breath. Emphysema is one of several diseases known collectively as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Smoking is the leading cause of emphysema.
Your lungs' alveoli are clustered like bunches of grapes. In emphysema, the inner walls of the air sacs weaken and eventually rupture — creating one larger air space instead of many small ones. This reduces the surface area of the lungs and, in turn, the amount of oxygen that reaches your bloodstream.
When you exhale, the damaged alveoli don't work properly and old air becomes trapped, leaving no room for fresh, oxygen-rich air to enter. Treatment may slow the progression of emphysema, but it can't reverse the damage.

This was a turning point. On one hand I had hightailing it to Chicago on my mind. Devo was playing The Vic and I was going. I thought I'd get there early grab some great Chicago chow and relax for the Devo experience. On the other hand, there was visiting Notre Dame. I'm a mild fan of the football program. Mainly because the floundering Charlie Weis used to coach with the Patriots. Plus everyone talks in such glowing tones of that place.
Notre Dame was impressive. It had such an British manor feel to it. Lots of brick and green and more walking paths than you can shake a stick at. The piece that stood out the most was the grand golden dome
I'm a church guy. I typically go each week and when I need a little extra peace and quiet I seek out a place midweek. Sometimes just to sit and be for 15 or 20 minutes. So I like cathedrals. I used to love the two shrines in Baltimore (Basilica and St. Jude). The Cathedral at Notre Dame was moving. It had a woodsy Vermont cabin feel to it. Cabinesque but polished cabin. The place was adorned with gold, silver and white hues and felt sacred. One thing that caught my attention was the Holy Water. It was in a large circular reservoir and was heated.
I sat in the cathedral for a while and my timing was perfect as the clergy gathered for Vespers. I listened for a few minutes then made my way back to the road. To the Devo Show I Go.

Well, what can i say! What a truly fabulous game. The graphics are extremely nice, feels like a film at the intervals between frantic explosions and a whole lot of fire power!
First spotted this game on a demo 360 machine in a shop, and was instantly attracted to it. Havent played the original game, but after playing this, i am rushing to find it now!
If your looking for all action and a lot of "war" like action, this is a good buy. Frequently you will find yourself and your team mates pinned behinf a 3 foot wall, with god knows how many enemy on the other side, trying to blow you into last week. Then when you eventually kill of a few, the odd tank and transport vehicle come and drop of some more. Tactis are another strong point, switching between your Ghost team mates and the other aids, like the "eye-in-the-sky" style vehicle, mapping out your planned route!
All in all, a fantastic game, highly recommended to anybody looking for a good battle with good graphics thrown in to!!

I'm having issues this season with keeping a birds interest. I can get them answering with a little cutting and yelping, and get them moving to me, even from fairly long distances, but once within 100 yards they seem to be losing interest and moving away, still answering me. That's the frustrating part, they still respond to my calling but will come no closer. I can turn them around and pull them back only to have the same thing happen. There's no fence or creek in the way, it's open woods in north Georgia, well as open as it gets. The area is off an open field, with a 100-200 yard region of open pines before it drops off into a creek bottom full of hardwoods. I've set up in the creek bottom, on the edge of the hardwoods and on the edge of the field, same problem. I'm not yelping at him once he's on the way just clucking and purring from time to time, they are having nothing to do with it. I'm not being seen and I'm not spooking the birds, that I can tell.
This is in contrast to the first two weeks where my hunting partner and I were bringing in birds almost close enough to touch, we kept whoever was calling about 30 yards back from the shooter. We've tried moving once the bird answers and starts our way, moving away from him or to one side or the other, going dead silent for an hour or more, you name it we've tried it.
This is happening mid-day, not just off the roost. I'd tell myself it was hens if it was early but this is a bird answering after 10 and they should be on the way from the deeper woods to the field for a few bugs, which is what I'm seeing them do when I'm not trying to bring one to me.
What changes can I make to my calling to possibly get these birds to walk that last 50 yards? or to stay interested?
