SAG Awards 2013 Red Carpet Strapless Dress Trend Marion, Kerry, and Jennifer Lead the Strapless-Dress Trend at the SAGs by Melody Nazarian 1/27/13 3 Reactions 23 Shares Print 10 1 12 0 0 One after the other, beautiful actresses showcased their fabulous red-carpet ensembles at the SAG Awards. And very quickly it became apparent that they were giving us the cold shoulder. Yes, strapless gowns became one of the top trends of the night. Everyone from Kerry Washington in Rodarte to Lea Michele in Valentino to Amanda Seyfried in Zac Posen opted to show off a little more where neckline was concerned. Some added statement jewels for extra pizazz, while others went completely bare for a minimalistic feel. Either way, they proved that strapless silhouettes are still a very sexy option and the best way to play up a skin-revealing detail without going overboard.

Kilindi Resort
Mnemba Island
The Palms

1. Book early to avoid disappointment
Ideally you should start making arrangements as soon as you know your dates, especially if you're getting married during peak times such as July and August or Christmas and New Year. Most itineraries can be booked on a low deposit.2. Check the weather
If you have your heart set on a specific country, you may have to set your wedding around your honeymoon as not every destination enjoys good weather all year.3. Special honeymoon offers
We have many special offers that are unique to honeymooners. These can include anything from discounted rates to unique experiences. Contact one of our team to get the latest info.4. Budget
We can work with your budget – we have access to everything, from beach huts to luxury retreats and all that's in-between. Be honest and realistic from the outset with your budget and we will ensure that you get the very best honeymoon for you.5. Wedding gift vouchers
Don't need another toaster? Why not get your friends and family to contribute to the cost of your honeymoon instead? We can run a gift list for your honeymoon at no extra cost.6. Passport name change

Don't leave home without it! In fact you should have it in place at the time of booking your honeymoon as insurance policies taken out after the date booking do not cover you for cancellation. Make sure your policy covers any honeymoon extras you might take like rings, and will cover you for any specific activities such as diving or trekking.8. The High Street doesn't cut it
When planning a special trip it's even more important to speak to a specialist. They will know your chosen destination inside out and will provide expert advice to ensure that all of your needs and expectations are met.9. Not just a number

Every year, thousands of college students waste their money at the gym to get workouts they could get for free around their own cities. Here's how to make the most of your workouts AND your budget!
If you are looking to build lots of muscle, the gym is for you but if you're just trying to get some cardio in, spots around the city would be perfect. With little research, students can find trails, high school tracks, parks and clubs. For example, I found out the times and days my local high school's facilities were open to the public and I started going there to run on the track and up the bleachers – I could feel the difference in my legs and waist in two weeks! I also bought a jump rope so I can add a little extra cardio and I am even considering joining a Crossfit club so I can write more in detail about the benefits and procedures of this type of workout.
When beginning a workout routine, some students may feel insecure seeing others around them running a little faster or lifting a little more. This could translate into a student giving less than 100-percent and decreasing the quality of his or her workouts, thus wasting money. Exercising at various spots across the city can help eliminate this insecurity because the surroundings (both scenery and people) are always changing. Working out outside also helps on a more spiritual level; connecting with nature is something everyone needs to do and some of us don't get enough of that in our busy schedules.
So save your money and go for a run outside – it really is more enjoyable for your wellbeing and your bank account!

Though it's a day off from school and work, New Year's Day is also a day to get down to business. While you're starting in on your New Year's resolutions, opening up a new calendar, and packing up the holiday decorations, there's one more thing that college students and college-bound high school students should do each January. The Department of Education starts accepting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (more commonly known as "FAFSA") on January 1 each year. State application deadlines fall soon after—as early as February in some cases. So while you might not start classes until August or September, you want to start applying for financial aid as soon as the FAFSA is available each year.
In order to complete a FAFSA, you will need the following:

Cancellations and cutbacks to scholarship programs have been making the news a lot lately. Michigan recently ended its state Promise Scholarship in the face of a budget crisis (though the state's governor vows to restore funding) and other states and companies are also having to make some hard cuts. The latest round has left five high-achieving Arizona high school juniors without the four-year full-tuition scholarship they signed a contract to receive in the fifth grade.
Budgetary cutbacks aren't the only way that students can lose scholarship money. Many scholarship funds are only designated for a set amount of time: four years, two years, or just one check. Other awards are contingent on strict eligibility criteria. A dip in your GPA, a semester where you drop below full-time, or a transfer to another college or university could potentially make you ineligible for a renewable scholarship award. All of this can change your college funding picture dramatically from year-to-year.
Students who are transferring will want to see if their new college offers scholarships for transfer students. If your scholarship is from your college, it's unlikely to transfer to your new school unless there's a preexisting special arrangement between the two institutions. However, if you've won an outside scholarship, especially one from a state or national organization, you should contact the provider to see if the award will transfer to your new school. You also will want to do a scholarship search--many national scholarship awards are designated specifically for transfer students, especially students who are moving from community colleges to four-year schools.
Students who have lost their scholarship from not meeting eligibility criteria will often have a chance to appeal the decision to revoke the award. Ask the scholarship provider if there's an appeals process, and follow the instructions exactly in as timely a manner as possible. If there are extenuating circumstances that led to the situation, you may need to document them. Above all, be polite and respectful and try to create a good impression, even if your appeal is denied. Awards that run out can also occasionally be appealed for an extension, or applied for again for a possible second round of funding. Check the rules for the contest or ask the scholarship provider if this is the case. Even if you lose eligibility for one award, it doesn't mean you're ineligible for all scholarship opportunities. Search for scholarships to see what else you may be able to find.
Finally, if your scholarship program has been canceled, there are still things you can do. Some providers, like our Arizona example above, will help students find alternate funding, and may even be able to supplement some of the difference between what they promised and what you can't find on your own. Some colleges are also making up for cuts in high-profile state and local scholarship programs by creating their own scholarship funds for the students affected. Other schools have emergency aid or one-time scholarships available to students who find themselves suddenly without the means to pay their tuition. Check with your financial aid office to see if your school can help.
Students who have already succeeded at winning scholarships are also likely to win more, since so many scholarship providers have similar criteria. If you find yourself caught without scholarship money you had planned to use, try to find some time to apply for additional awards. You may even win more money than what you lost.

As students begin the fall semester, news of the H1N1 swine flu virus spreading across college campuses is everywhere. But whether the flu has hit your college or not, getting sick at school is a real concern and can quickly derail your semester.
Living far away from home, many college students aren't well-equipped to take care of themselves and stay on top of their coursework while ill, especially if they contract something more serious than a cold. While the flu's getting all the attention now, other common illnesses can put students out of commission for days, or even weeks, causing them to miss class, miss work, and get behind on projects that are crucial to their success in school. Missed work due to illness can even jeopardize your financial aid. Part of taking care of yourself when you're sick at school is taking care to minimize the impact of illness on your semester.
Beyond attending to your immediate needs (seeing a doctor, getting rest, etc.), the most important thing to do if you get sick is to contact your professors, preferably before you miss a class or an assignment. If you're really ill and need to miss more than one class or an important assignment, quiz, or test, the earlier you establish communication, the better it will go. If you have a diagnosis, you can share it, but don't go into the minute details of what your body is doing and don't assume that because you're sick with something verifiable, your professors will instantly cater to your every whim. A doctor's excuse doesn't always go as far as demonstrated willingness to take responsibility for your missed work and to work with your professor to get caught up. Most instructors will be willing to provide you with information and course materials from missed classes, and depending on circumstances and how you approach the situation, they may allow you to make up work, as well.
If you're going to miss a lot of school or you have professors unwilling to budge, contacting your academic advisor is a good step, as well. A note from an advisor carries more weight than a call from a student, and if you lack the time or energy to address each professor personally and immediately, talking to your advisor can save you some time. They can also give you advice and information on what to do about missing class, and help you keep from falling behind.
Finally, once you're healthy, back in class and taking care of your missed work, there may still be other matters to attend to. Even if you have tried your hardest, you may wind up with too much work to catch up in a class. If talking to your professor and your advisor about incompletes and other options doesn't bear fruit, you may need to drop classes or you may see your GPA suffer. If you have scholarship awards or other financial aid, lower grades or less than full-time enrollment can have an impact on your eligiblity for these awards. Be aware of the GPA and enrollment requirements for your scholarships and grants (even some student loans) and if you are in danger of not meeting them, talk to the scholarship provider or your financial aid counselor to find out your options. Your financial aid office is also a good place to stop if illness has generated medical bills or lost income for you--they may be able to adjust your aid package to help you deal with these expenses.

Unless you're lucky enough to happen across an extremely obscure and unusual scholarship with only one or two qualified applicants, you are going to have to face some competition to receive a scholarship award. In the case of essay scholarships that are easy to enter or that come with a substantial award, you may be facing quite a lot of competition. In fact, with many scholarship competitions, you may be up against so much competition that there's no guarantee a reviewer will even have time to completely read and digest each scholarship essay submitted. This makes your essay's introduction vitally important.
The first sentence of your scholarship application is your first, best and possibly only chance to capture your reader's attention. To have the best chance at winning scholarships, you need to know how to start your essay off right. The following are some tips to help you craft an eye-catching introduction that gets your foot in the door and gets your application the attention it deserves.
Put it in your own words. While starting with a quote is a common technique in speaking and some writing, it may not work best in a scholarship application essay. Leading with a quote shows the reviewer that you know how to read, but it doesn't tell much else about you or your ideas. Use your own words to begin, and if a quote supports or enhances your argument, consider bringing it in later in the essay.
Avoid clichés and tired phrases. One of your essay's goals should be to distinguish you from the competition, and it won't do this if it rehashes the same overused expressions that everyone else employs. Keep in mind that the scholarship reviewer will be reading hundreds or even thousands of applications. What seems clever or cute the first time doesn't seem that way after the 50th or 100th iteration. A good rule to follow is that if a phrase belongs on a bumper sticker or in an e-mail from your mom, it likely does not belong in your scholarship essay.
Establish a personal connection. If your experience gives you a unique perspective on the essay's topic, show your reader this. Most people are suckers for personal anecdotes, provided the stories are interesting and well-told. Make sure the story you tell fits these criteria and actually enriches your essay and contributes to your overall message. Don't get melodramatic and don't bog down your introduction in an overly long, detailed or irrelevant narrative, but if you've got a good story to tell to frame your essay, use it.
Say something new. Are you arguing something that falls well outside the typical series of canned responses? Consider leading with your thesis, or at least some of the information or realizations that guided your essay towards its thesis. There's no better way to stand out from a pile of fairly standard responses than to have something fresh and thought-provoking to contribute with your scholarship application.
With a solid introduction and a thoughtful and well-written response, you'll be well on your way to writing a scholarship-worthy essay.

It's no secret that the lives of an increasing number of college and high school students are filled with errands, homework assignments, social appointments and work. Managing the stress of infinite responsibilities can be difficult, but it's necessary to keep one's health and stress in check. If you, like so many others, are struggling with your schedule, take a step back. Read the following pointers on how to keep things together, and give your mind and body the healthy break they deserve.
Keep a planner. When your errands get out of control, it's best to eliminate the head clutter—you need your brain cells for other things. Write down everything, birthdays, projects, groceries etc. Then cross things off one at a time; it will feel great. Having things on paper will free your memory and allow you to see what you've already accomplished--not just what's left to accomplish.
See a Friend. Hmmm…Taking time off may seem counterproductive, but it's a must. Getting lost in a world of errands is overwhelming, depressing, and stressful. Seeing a friend—even for a short lunch—can give you perspective, a reminder that life outside of work exists. More often than not, your friends are going, or have gone through, similar ordeals. Swap silly stories about your weird instructor, vent and rejuvenate your mind.
Multitask. Some say that working on two projects at once lengthens the time it takes to complete them, but that depends on the projects. If you have some clothes in the wash, get some homework done between loads. Waiting to meet that friend I told you about? Begin your reading assignment.
Stay Near the Nest. Travel adds up, and, unfortunately, it is often accepted as the unavoidable black hole of time. Well, don't accept it. Keeping things close to home can greatly increase the time you have to get things done. When possible, commute to school. Take your dance and guitar lessons at a nearby studio. Shop and eat at stores and restaurants at arms length. Clock in for longer hours but fewer days. You get the picture.

If you are planning to move out of your parent's house when you go back to school, you are probably going to have one or more roommates. Unique challenges often arise when living with roommates, so it's a good idea to learn about common roommate problems before you become one. By doing so, you will be able to take steps to exhibit the traits of a good roommate. This knowledge will also help you recognize and resolve conflicts.
Some of the most common roommate problems include:
Allowing such behaviors to go unchecked can permanently damage roommate relationships, and can make a living situation unbearable. It's a good idea to establish roommate rules at the very beginning of the relationship for the sake of avoiding roommate problems before they have a chance to develop.

Title: | Identification of ZFR, an ancient and highly conserved murine chromosome-associated zinc finger protein |
Author: | Holdcraft, Robert W.; Braun, Robert E.; Lee, Keesook; Disteche, Christine; Edelhoff, Susanne; Meagher, Madeleine J.; Schumacher, Jill M. |
Abstract: | In a screen for RNA binding proteins expressed during murine spermatogenesis, we cloned a novel, ancient zinc finger protein possessing a region common to a small class of RNA binding proteins. Zfr (zinc finger RNA binding) encodes a protein of 1052 amino acids with three widely spaced Cys2His2 zinc fingers. Outside of the zinc fingers, ZFR shares a region that is highly conserved between several RNA binding proteins containing copies of the double-stranded RNA binding motif. By northern blotting, Zfr is expressed at highest levels within the testis, ovary and brain. Immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy were used to show that ZFR is highly expressed during meiosis I in males and females and is chromosome associated. Zfr is also expressed in Sertoli cells in the testis and granulosa cells in the ovary where it is localized to the nucleus. Using fluorescent in situ hybridization we mapped Zfr to chromosome 15 region A. ZFR appears to be an ancient protein, as apparent homologs exist in invertebrates (D. melanogaster) nematodes (C. elegans) and humans (H. sapiens). |

Soda, Pop, or Coke? Generic Names for Soft Drinks by County
This didn't work out too well when I traveled, of course. If I ordered a Coke in a "pop" county, I'd get a Coca-Cola Classic, even if it was a Dr. Pepper that I really wanted.
These days I'm a soda kind of guy, even though I live in a pop county according to the Generic Names for Soft Drinks by County chart provided by PopVsSoda.com.
What do you say: soda, pop, or coke?

I'm from a "80-100% Coke" area. My wife is from a"80-100% Pop" area.
We still get along.
Karen May 12th 2007 6:21AM
Yep; from the Panhandle of TX - "What kind of coke?" - now, living in Germany - so it's "pop" - but I do miss asking for a coke and getting a Dr. Pepper!
Chip May 12th 2007 11:26AM
As for others - My relatives in southern Maine always refer to it as "tonic". Odd that the map shows Maine as a "soda" state. Maybe it's just my family.
bill May 12th 2007 5:59PM
I grew up in ft worth. I do remember people who said "coke" for all soft drinks but it's hard to believe it was the overwhelming majority that the map shows. we used to make fun of people who did that. our family always said "soda water." now I just say 'soft drink." but i still mean "dr pepper."
Coke Addict May 12th 2007 6:05PM
Too funny! Ordering a Coke when you really want a Dr. Pepper. Why couldn't you--why can't you--just ask, "Dr. Pepper, please"? I don't know...
I'm a Coke addict, pure and simple. The Classic kind. No substitution. These days, actually for the longest time now that I think about it, when I ask for a Coke I'd get ... a Pepsi. For an entirely different reason: it seems more places carry Pepsi as the cola of choice than Coke, probably due to marketing muscle (Coca-Cola, are you listening/reading?), especially on airlines (on those long trips where they still hand out free softdrinks) and in a lot of fast-food joints, even internationally. I'd always get stymied and puzzled when this happens. Not enough fizzles for my taste.

jon May 13th 2007 5:59PM
I lived in Michigan for a while (I'm British) and it always threw me when I asked for a coke, which in the UK is a generic word for a cola - any cola.
They'd come back with a concerned 'I'm sorry we only have Pepsi'
'Er, yeah, that then'
That map also says that Allegan county (where I was) says 'Pop'. Not when I was there they didn't - they said 'soda'
In the UK btw, it's 'fizzy pop'

HA Web First: Improved Prescribing And Reimbursement Practices In China
February 26th, 2014
Pay-for-performance—reimbursing health care providers based on the results they achieved with their patients as a way to improve quality and efficiency—has become a major component of health reforms in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other affluent countries. Although the approach has also become popular in the developing world, there has been little evaluation of its impact. A new study, released today as a Web First by Health Affairs, examines the effects of pay-for-performance, combined with capitation, in China's largely rural Ningxia Province.
Between 2009 and 2012, authors Winnie Yip, Timothy Powell-Jackson, Wen Chen, Min Hu, Eduardo Fe, Mu Hu, Weiyan Jian, Ming Lu, Wei Han, and William C. Hsiao, in collaboration with the provincial government, conducted a matched-pair, cluster-randomized experiment to review that province's primary care providers' antibiotic prescribing practices, health spending, and several other factors. They found a near-15 percent reduction in antibiotic prescriptions and a small decline in total spending per visit to community clinics.
The authors note that the success of this experiment has motivated the government of Ningxia Province to expand this intervention to the entire province. "From a policy perspective, our study offers several additional valuable lessons," they conclude. "Provider patterns of overprescribing and inappropriate prescribing cannot be changed overnight; nor can patient demand, for which antibiotics are synonymous with quality care. Provider payment reform probably needs to be accompanied by training for providers and health education for patients."

Thankfully, the $1,000 bagel was created as a charity fund raiser, and not for every day consumption. The chef of The Westin New York concocted this bagel with a schmear of white truffle cream cheese and a goji berry Reisling jelly and gold leaves. Also for sale is an ice-cream sundae with a 23 karat edible gold leaf, and caviar and lobster pizza.
The limited edition bagel can only be purchased until December 14, the proceeds of which will go towards Les Amis d'Escoffier Scholarship for culinary arts students.
"Bagels are a New York food landmark, which is where the base for this dish came from. White truffles are a simple, quality ingredient that takes the meal, or the bagel in this case, to the next level," said chef Frank Tujague.
"By giving back a portion of the proceeds, we are inspiring future chefs to think outside the box and maximize culinary creativity."
This gives a whole new meaning to rich food!

Bellevue Way to close for bridge work
Bellevue Way will be closed between Northup Way and Northeast 32nd Place from 10 p.m. to 5 p.m. July 26 so that traffic can be shifted onto the new west half of the Bellevue Way bridge over SR 520.
Prior to the shift, final paving of the approaches, lane striping and barrier placement will be completed. Nearby residents should expect to hear the sounds of trucks, paving machines and asphalt rollers.
With traffic shifted, crews with Eastside Corridor Constructors (ECC) can begin preparing the east half of the bridge for demolition, which is scheduled for the weekend of August 10-13. That work also will close Bellevue Way on those dates.
Both Bellevue Way closures detour traffic to 108th Avenue NE.

How Ironic!Reader comment on item: How the West Could Lose Submitted by PDM (United States), Jan 5, 2007 at 12:54 Truly Ironic when you consider that Thomas Jefferson was adamant about launching a war against the muslims of the North Atlantic because of the 'pirates.' His only reason to own a koran was to learn about it (the same as we should learn about it as well) - not to give islam any 'higher status'. Learn also from his contemporary John Quincy Adams who wrote, "while the mercilous and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motive to human action there will never be peace on earth and good will toward men."

Super Tuesday mystery: Will Ron Paul win his first state?
Super Tuesday could hand Ron Paul his first victory of the GOP presidential campaign. North Dakota presents the most fertile ground, with its caucus format and independent streak. Other promising turf: Alaska and Idaho.
Ron Paul is hoping North Dakota will provide him with his first win in the race for the Republican presidential nomination.

North Dakota's caucus system makes it potentially fertile ground for the Texas congressman.
In states like Iowa and Maine, his followers have shown strong turnout and devotion in the tug-and-pull caucus process that involves speeches by advocates for various candidates, not merely pulling a lever in a booth.
It doesn't hurt that Mr. Paul himself plans to speak in Fargo, N.D., Tuesday to help make his case to the state's voters.
"We are excited to welcome back Ron Paul to Fargo and to North Dakota on this pivotal day for the state and nation," said Jared Hendrix, the Paul campaign's director in the state, in a news release.
So far, the candidate carrying the torch of libertarian views hasn't won a state outright. But that could change as of March 6.
Ten states are up for grabs, with the biggest delegate prizes like Georgia and Virginia seen by analysts as out of reach for Paul. Media attention in recent days, for example, has focused on the battle between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum for Ohio.
But, in addition to North Dakota, Paul supporters are talking of possible wins in Idaho and Alaska, other Super Tuesday states that combine a caucus system with relatively small populations.
In North Dakota, where caucus events around the state run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Central time, voters do not need to be registered Republicans to participate, although they must have an affiliation with the party (voting Republican in the last general election or intending to vote with the party this fall).
Some of Paul's best showings so far in the primary season have been in caucus states, including Iowa (third place, not far behind the leaders) and Maine (a narrow loss to Mitt Romney).
Just a few days ago, Paul edged out Mr. Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania, for second place in Washington State's caucus, with support of 25 percent of those participating.
So far, Paul has amassed 37 delegates, versus 173 for former Massachusetts Governor Romney and 74 for Santorum.

Ybor City Review
Tampa's lively Latin quarter is one of only a few National Historic Landmark districts in Florida. Bordered by I–4 to the north, 22nd Street to the east, Adamo Drive to the south, and Nebraska Avenue to the West, it has antique-brick streets and wrought-iron balconies. Cubans brought their cigar-making industry to Ybor (pronounced ee-bore) City in 1886, and the smell of cigars—hand-rolled by Cuban immigrants—still wafts through the heart of this east Tampa area, along with the strong aroma of roasting coffee. These days the neighborhood is one of Tampa's hot spots, if at times a rowdy one, as empty cigar factories and historic social clubs have been transformed into trendy boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, and nightclubs.
Ybor City Museum State Park. This park provides a look at the history of the cigar industry. Admission includes a tour of La Casita, one of the shotgun houses occupied by cigar workers and their families in the late 1890s, held every half-hour between 10am and 3pm. 1818 E. 9th Ave., between Nuccio Pkwy. and 22nd St. from 7th to 9th aves., 33601. 813/247–6323. www.ybormuseum.org. $4.

Kelly's Week in the Islands!
Kelly's Week in the Islands!
Report AbuseKelly IV's intrepid crew spent the week cruising the Erie Islands north of Sandusky Bay, Ohio. Bob Zimmerman, Keith Otto, and Jack VanArsdale joined me for a week of sailing Kelly IV from July 4 - 10. The service team at Sandusky Harbor Marina had replaced the jury-rigged fuel pump with the proper part and also spent a few hours poring over the engine to make certain that there was nothing wrong and all needed maintenance was completed. The engine passed muster with a clean bill of health and was running perfectly.
Saturday the winds were light and from the northwest on July 4, so we decided to motor north to Scudder Marina on the north bay of Pelee Island, Ontario, 23 miles north of Sandusky bay and just 12 miles south of Leamington, Ontario. We took our time since the miles were relatively short and explored the dock (southern) channel from the coal pier up to Battery Park marina, where we topped off our diesel. With the very light breeze, it was necessary to motor our way north. About 2 hours into the trip we found ourselves just northeast of Kelleys Island, just a few hundred yards north of the green "C1" can, marking the shoal extending northeast of the northeastern peninsula. It was then the motor gave up the ghost. It sounded like we ran out of fuel, so we confirmed that the tank was indeed full, having just filled it. Then we tried bleeding the fuel lines thinking some air may have found its way into the system. It was then we discovered that no fuel would pump through the lines. Despite our best efforts, checking the engine manual, discussing and trying different ideas, the engine stubbornly sat quiet. Meanwhile, since we were at the mercy of the very light northwesterly, we tried sailing, but the breeze was only enough to effect a drift, not a forward sail. Of course, our first rate crew kept a close watch due to our proximity to the extensive shoals northeast of Kelleys. We slowly drifted back through the break in the shoal, finding ourselves southeast of our position when the motor decided to end its efforts. From there we put our unlimited BoatUS Towing package to work and were towed back into Sandusky Harbor Marina. The forecast for Sunday was more of the same light air, so we felt we were better off getting into the marina where we could have the mechanic check the engine first thing Monday morning.
We were on vacation, so we spent Sunday as tourists! The hull of the small car & passenger ferry out of Marblehead is painted a distinctive bright orange with a clean white bridge rising above the deck. From Kelly IV we have seen these ferries many times, commenting that they look like small aircraft carriers, the way the bridge looks like the "island" of a carrier with the long, flat deck appearing like the flight deck. Well, this time we were the ferry passengers enjoying the view of the many private craft making their way amongst the islands. The ferry dropped us at the Seaway Marina, right where we had docked Kelly IV just a couple weeks before! Bob, Keith, Jack and I commandeered a golf cart for our tourist excursion around the green isle of Kelleys. It was quite fun to explore the island as we located the dock for the Jet Express and Good Time ferries that serve Kelleys. We wound our way to the west then north finding ourselves trekking around the world famous "Glacial Grooves"! In fact these were quite fascinating as they seemed like a giant had dragged his fingers through the stone as if it were merely icing on a cake. We also spent time hiking around "Horseshoe Lake", a leftover from an old quarry, no longer in operation. After a late lunch at the Kelleys Island Brew Pub we returned the golf cart and joined the ferry back to Marblehead.
First thing Monday morning the mechanic was back into the engine, and of course, all was fine. He was able to quickly bleed the fuel line as the new pump worked as it was supposed to and the fuel was flowing as designed. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the motor and it once again ran perfectly. Our crew began referring to the northeast corner of Kelleys Island as "Kelleys Triangle", the spot where Mia and I connected with the towboat on our return from Leamington, the point where the motor died on Saturday and the towboat once again picked us up. This impression of the northeast of Kelleys was reinforced when 2 hours later the motor once again died at about the same point on the chart! Since there was wind on Monday, we decided to ignore the motor and sailed the rest of the way to our anchorage on the eastern edge of Middle Bass Island, just north of the airport runway. After the 5 mile sail across from Kelleys Island, the wind died as we were pulling into the anchorage, so we decided to try the engine and it ran just fine! There were 2 other sailboats in the anchorage so we seemed in good company. With the anchor down, we assembled the port-a-bote and rowed into the stony beach at the end of the runway. Our walk on shore led us south to a small resort where we enjoyed some adult beverages then returned to Kelly IV at her anchor.
The wind had picked up some on Tuesday morning, but the forecast said only 1 foot waves, so I made the mistake of deciding to tow the dinghy instead of disassembling and stowing on deck. With our experienced crew it was no big deal to sail off our anchor and ignore the motor entirely. Once we cleared into the open water and faced the northerly breeze it was clear that Kelly was not going to weather very well and that the dinghy was gulping in the water rather than floating over it. A significant effort on the part of the crew enabled the bailing of most of the water so we left the dinghy trailing behind Kelly IV. We also confirmed that our crew were "gentleman". At least in the sense that "Gentleman never sail to weather!" We were first planning to sail to Put-in-Bay by way of North Bass Island, just to put a few sailing miles under the keel. With the northerly breeze and dinghy issues, we decided to turn around and head downwind towards the Seaway Marina on Kelleys Island. It became the theme for the week, as we were mostly successful in avoiding to sail upwind. Once checked into the marina, we walked with Bob to the Casino (it is a restaurant, not a gambling venue) as he waited to catch a ferry back to Sandusky. Unfortunately, Bob had to return home for the funeral service honoring and remembering his aunt, leaving Jack, Keith and I to enjoy the rest of the sailing week without Bob.
Wednesday morning found the moderate breeze coming from the NNE, so we headed SSE to Huron, Ohio. A wonderful beam reach all the way! This time the motor worked flawlessly, albeit for less than 20 minutes as we were able to quickly raise sail once clear of the marina. It was the first time Kelly IV had sailed to Huron, so we were eagerly peering through the binoculars in search of the marks for the harbor entrance. The large, white 80 foot tower supporting the Huron Harbor light was easy to spot, but the standard red/green buoys at the entrance proved more challenging. About a mile from the entrance, the 2 marks became evident and we easily turned into the river entrance. With the breeze at our backs, we decided to trust the engine for the short trip upriver. The dock for Kelly IV was just as described on the phone by the folks at Harbor North, so we just pulled in and tied up. No big deal. Well, there was a bit of water bouncing Kelly slightly, as we were on the edge of the marina facing the incoming wind, so our new friend from Harbor North, TJ, offered us a slip inside the small marina. The only problem was that I'd have to back in, if I wanted an easy exit in the morning. Thankfully the breeze was minimal at our point in the river, and Keith and TJ were on the pier to catch us as Jack and I slowly nosed up into the corner of the marina, then backed around into the slip, easily missing the brand new Hanse 31, just as we intended! It was one of the more challenging docking maneuvers I've ever faced and it went extremely well! It was certainly the first time I've backed Kelly IV into a slip, so I was quite happy with the result. Jack, Keith and I had fun poking around the dockyard with its many sailboats of various vintages. It is a favorite pastime to comment and kibitz about the various boats and what ideas we might adopt for Kelly IV or Jack's Cape Dory, or Keith's "Windwalker".
The breeze on Thursday was coming from the ENE, so we went back on a beam reach to Kelleys Island, but this time we sailed to the northeast, challenging "Kelleys Triangle". Since the breeze allowed us to enjoy another terrific sail without the motor running, we think we broke the curse as we blasted past the shoal and cut across the north bay of Kelleys. Given the fair wind, we easily sailed west, then south into West Bay, just south of the quarry pier and dropped anchor, never turning on the motor once we cleared the Huron Harbor Light. The beautiful summer day left the crew in a lazy mood as we napped, read and puttered around the boat for the balance of the afternoon. All week we had been eating like kings on board as Bob, Jack and Keith slaved over the small 2-burner galley stove and stern-rail-mounted barbecue grill. This evening, being our last in the islands, we decided to eat at the West Bay Inn, so we assembled the port-a-bote dinghy and rowed against the breeze into the rough gravel beach. After our meal watching the sunset, we enjoyed several games of "Cornhole" the bean bag toss game that seems to be sweeping the islands. This is the same game we played in the Seaway Marina, just a few weeks earlier.
Friday's forecast was for very light SSE to ESE winds, so our expectations for good sailing were kept to a minimum. The breeze was sufficient to sail off the anchor, but after turning to the SE, there was not enough breeze to tack our way towards Sandusky. We fired up the motor and pushed our way east to a point just off Marblehead. Now that I am leery of trusting the motor for more than 2 hours of operation, I thought it best to give it a break. After 30 minutes of aimless drifting, we once again powered our way using the engine. As we made our way into the channel heading towards the coal pier, the breeze seemed to be on our port beam so we cut the motor and sailed. It was very nice sailing but short-lived. With only 10 minutes of quiet behind us, the little wind we had began a crazy dance around Kelly IV's masthead. At one point I looked up at the wind indicator to see the wind had moved to the north, so I glanced down at the main sheet to see where I might adjust it. Almost immediately, I looked back at the masthead, only to see the Windex showing a southerly breeze! Since the light, crazy breeze seemed to be the standard for the foreseeable future, we trusted the motor to return us to our slip. She came through! But I did not. :-( Although the docking should have been easy, since the breeze was light, I still turned too early and had to back off, turnaround and try again. The second time worked and Kelly IV returned to her slip after a week of fun sailing, great meals, and terrific friends!

Lancs Women come down to Earth with a Bump
After winning their previous 3 matches, Lancs Ladies were looking forward to their match against Devon at Wigan CC with relish.
However things did not turn out the way they would have liked as they put up a below-par performance to lose by 7 wickets. Lancs 146 all out Devon 147 for 3. The Devon Girls outplayed their Lancashire counterparts in most aspects of the game bowling and fielding with skill and tenacity and batting with poise and skill. The bright spots for Lancashire were produced by the three youngest members of the squad. Emma Lamb produced a gritty 40 runs after opening the innings and was Lancs top scorer. Nalisha Patel took two more wickets to add to the 5 in her last match and wicket keeper Hannah Till took a spectacular diving catch behind the stumps. All in all though a performance to forget and time to look forward to the 20/20 competition which takes place next Monday and Tuesday 30th and 31st July at Denby CC near Derby.

Prince of Persia in 620s Egypt
Esteban Sky Cuevas
on 08.06.2012
A screenshot of a new Prince of Persia title was posted on Ubisofts forums yesterday afternoon and some eyebrows are bound to be raised as it pictures what looks like to be the new protagonist as well as the new setting.
The man in question has dark skin rather than light, and is muscular and stocky in form. He seems to be wearing garments made of cloth or bandages as well as some beaded accessories and armor on his arms and shoulders. The weapon he has on his waist appears to be a sword of some kind in its sheath but is smaller in size that in other titles. He looks very, VERY different from any of the previous Prince of Persia protagonists and his surroundings dont necessarily scream Arabian village either. Straw roofs, stone buildings, and citizens dressed in headdresses and sparse cloth bottoms suggest that the game no longer takes place in Persia or its modern day equivalent, the Islamic Republic of Iran. It doesnt even look like it has anything to do with Persia or Iran at all. At first glance, my initial impression is that the setting was reminiscent of Jerusalem in the first Assassins Creed title which was based on the city as it was during the Third Crusade. However, some reports suggest that this new title (codenamed POP Zero 2, if the text at the bottom of the screen is to be believed) is to be set in Egypt. Although seemingly unrelated, there is a connection here.
Egypt has been under Persian rule three times in its history. The first two times happened before Christ but the third time occurred while Egypt was a part of the Roman Empire and immediately preceded the Muslim invasion, which led it to what Persia is now, Iran. The Roman Empire had already been split into two halves, the Western Roman Empire and the East Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, and internal conflicts made the Egyptian portion of the Byzantine Empire vulnerable. The Persian ruler, or Shah, at the time, Khosrau II, took advantage of this and conquered Mesopotamia, Syria, Palestine and, eventually, Egypt. Egypt remained under Persian rule for 10 years before agreeing to leave. Speculation is all I can really do but I suspect that the game will take place during this time period. Seeing as how not only is Egypt and Persia involved in this conflict but also the Roman empire and its various other provinces, if it is in fact set during this time at this place, this title could provide some truly beautiful and varied environments and serve as a great trek through an interesting and informative period in history.
However, this also presents a problem. As I mentioned before, the new setting brought to mind Assassins Creed. The setting alone did not bring this to mind however. Some news reports have suggested that Ubisofts history themed open world title was an inspiration for this new title. Prince of Persia has always been a linear platformer with inventive parkour inspired acrobatics pushing the design opportunities of the levels and obstacles. Even the original had various kinds of jumps and movements that while not parkour inspired were much more sophisticated than platformers at the time like Mario. While Assassins Creed was obviously inspired in its gameplay by the Prince of Persias Sand trilogy, that series has gone on and created its own unique identity. While history isnt a farfetched idea to incorporate into a Prince of Persia game, it isnt as prominent as it is in Assassins Creed. Bottom line, a Prince of Persia title thats open world and history oriented has the potential of not being a brave new direction for the series and instead being an Assassins Creed rip-off.
However, maybe that inspiration is only in tone and perhaps premise. A NeoGAF poster noted that this title couldve been originally intended to be completely unrelated to the Prince of Persia franchise and be a new IP for the next generation of consoles. Furthermore, the game was pitched to be an amalgamation of the God of War franchise with the PlayStation 2 sleeper classic Shadow of the Colossus. Incorporating elements of God of War makes me believe that the swordplay that was in previous titles would serve a more important role in this new game. Sure, Arabian swordplay is appropriate and necessary in games like this but the series isnt well known or regarded for its swordplay. Not that it was bad in its early titles or during the sands trilogy or even in the 2008 reboot it was just sort of there, that functioned well if not superbly. A focus on combat would definitely make the game much more action oriented, ironically enough the polar opposite of the last reboot attempt in the series. As for the Shadow of the Colossus-esque concept, I feel that was already done in a sense. Shadow of the Colossus had an overwhelming sense of loneliness and emptiness as there was only you, your horse and the colossi. The 2008 title was similarly empty, with there being only you, Elika and the corrupted. Both enemies were sparse when it came to encounters and both worlds ingrains weariness and hopelessness as both felt to be after a lost battle. Youre saving the world or a girl in a realm already lost to evil. Also, if the screenshot is any indication, I see people, buildings and at least the illusion of a social and political structure. Therefore, bareness and bleak this is not.
Ubisoft has not commented on this screenshot to confirm or deny that this is where the series is moving towards. The screenshot does show a game clearly not done as the people are levitating off the ground and there are debug codes everywhere. The PoP Zero 2 codename seems official though as a previous project codenamed Prince of Persia Zero was canceled and was conceived as a modern day reboot of the series. Furthermore, right before E3 2012, these photos were revealed and have yet to be explained. The most telling photo shows a man walking though what looks like a Middle Eastern village equipped with a bow and arrow.
I do hope my predictions are correct as it would be a very intriguing game to play and seeing as it would most likely be for the next generation of consoles, it would look even more detailed and graphically impressive than in the screenshot. Speculation aside, as a fan of the Prince of Persia series, Im excited to see this series return, even if it isnt a continuation of the amazing Sands trilogy or the artistically sublime 2008 title.

I have to be honest, I have been wanting this Michael Kors watch for over a year. I'm usually the type of person who doesn't like to buy themselves "gifts." I had never owned a Michael Kors watch before and was fearful that since the watch was not metal that after paying full price for it, it would most likely break and I would be out $XXX. So I waited and sure enough Overstock.com had a great deal on the watch that I couldn't refuse. So I decided to purchase the it, the customer service team was a pleasure to work with and were very helpful throughout the ordering process. I received the watch very quickly and have received many compliments on it. The durability is great, the reason I can say that is because I'm rough on my things, and it has sustained. I'm an overall happy customer. Thanks Overstock.com for a great buying and shopping experience!
This MK watch is exactly as described online. It is attractive and easy to read. If you need to have links removed from band, one must take it to a jeweler or to an MK store. They have the necessary tool. This information is not included in the instruction booklet. I called MK customer service and learned the above.
The watch is really, really light weight, and does not feel like it's on my wrist. It's pretty. I just got it and already I�ve gotten a few compliments on it. It looks expensive and but can be worn with anything from dressy to causal wear. I wear my watches loose so I didn�t have to get any links taken out and it was already set to the correct day and time. I looked at this watch for a while before I made the decision to get it. I�m glad I went ahead and bought it.
My daughter had her eye on this Michael Kors watch. When I saw overstock carried it, (at a much better price) I told her I would get it for her for Christmas. She is thrilled and it looks great on her.
same watch sold in stores... great price... beautiful.
Have the watch on right now! I have enjoyed wearing it (after having a couple of links removed for sizing). It is a beefy, stylish watch and goes with many fashions I wear from casual chic to dressy. Delivery was prompt and pricing fair. Have only had it a couple of weeks and, so far, it is great. Description and appearance is accurate on the O site.

Explore Melbourne and around Federation Square The CBD Queen Victoria Market Melbourne Museum The MCG Eureka Tower Carlton Fitzroy Prahran St Kilda Heide Museum of Modern Art The Mornington Peninsula Phillip Island The Yarra Valley The Dandenongs Share Beyond Commercial Road, Chapel Street focuses on streetsmart fashion, becoming progressively more downmarket as it heads south. Landmarks include Prahran Market, round the corner on Commercial Road, an excellent, though expensive, food emporium (fish, meat, fruit, vegetables and delicatessen) plus cafés and a few clothes shops. Chapel Street Bazaar, on the western side of Chapel Street, has good secondhand clothes, Art Deco jewellery, furniture and bric-a-brac. Just opposite, tucked away in Little Chapel Street, a lane off Chapel Street, Chapel off Chapel, provides a venue for an eclectic mix of theatre performances, music and art exhibitions. Heading a further 100m south along Chapel Street brings you to Greville Street, in the heart of Prahran, which has taken over from Chapel Street as the corridor of cutting-edge cool, with retro and designer boutiques, music outlets, bookshops, and groovy bars and restaurants. Things really hot up over the weekend, and every Sunday the small Greville Street Market has arts, crafts and secondhand clothes and jewellery on the corner of Gratton Street in Gratton Gardens.

pattrstorage in bpatcher crash when receive storagewindow message
Sep 15, 2011 at 8:22pm
pattrstorage in bpatcher crash when receive storagewindow messageHello, I am using patterstorage in a bpathcher to manage the values of pattr objects bound (center outlet) to number boxes, toggles, etc. i have three instances of this bpather running in a main patch. the copy compressed version of the bpatcher is below. everything is working perfectly. I can change values as I want and save them in an xml file, etc. However, if i send a "storagewindow" message to pattrstorage within any one of the bpatcher, *sometimes* I will get a spinning wheel of death and have to reboot my computer. Sometimes the "storagewindow" message will work. I havent quite nailed down yet the exact circumstance that cause the crash, but have one way to certyainly make it crash: 1 open patch (audio is off) the other times it crashes I cannot be so sure of the steps except that I may be working for a while, turning on and off auido, saving slots to xml, etc, then I send "storagewindow" message to anyone of the bpatchers and get the same kind of crash. I could past in my main patch copy compress but all I am doing there is sending the "storagewindow" message to the bpatcher through an inlet in the bpatcher. one other note: i do have other abstractions in the main patch which use patterstorage to manage pattrs in just the abstractions. and all the pattrstorage are accessing the same xml file where all the data resides. Thanks- Lou – Pasted Max Patch, click to expand. –

U Of I To Open China Office
By Associated Press
The University of Illinois plans to open an office in China later this year.
Pradeep Khanna is associate chancellor for corporate international relations at
the school. Khanna tells The News-Gazette (http://bit.ly/1ahCsrT) that the
university plans to hire up to three employees for the new office in Shanghai.
A delegation of University of Illinois alumni is traveling to Beijing and
Shanghai next week. The group of about 50 people will meet with alumni and visit
companies and universities that have partnerships with UI.
UIUC Chancellor Phyllis Wise visited China last year. She is scheduled to host
the opening ceremony for the office on Dec. 9.

West Virginia had the second lowest household median income in the country for 2011. Only Mississippi's median income of $36,919 was lower than West Virginia's $38,482. That number is down almost $1,000 from 2010, when West Virginia had the third lowest median income in the nation.
Nationally, the median income dropped from $51,144 in 2010 to $50,502 in 2011. West Virginia was one of 36 states where the median income fell.
The survey also chose to highlight health insurance coverage of people between the ages of 19 and 25. Although the percent of West Virginians in this age bracket who are insured remains below the national average, the increase in the number of people with insurance was greater than on the national level.
In 2009, about 65 percent of West Virginians between the ages of 19 and 25 had health insurance. In 2011, that figure rose to 69.5 percent, below the 71.8 percent national average but above the national 3.6 percentage point growth.
Although 36 other states have a higher percentage of people insured in this age bracket than West Virginia, only 14 states saw a higher percentage point increase than the Mountain State.
The policy center stated the data shows West Virginia lawmakers need to expand Medicaid coverage through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, create an earned income tax credit based on the federal model, invest in child care assistance and raise the state minimum wage.

hand-held computer
A portable computer that is small enough to be held in one's hand. Although extremely convenient to carry, handheld computers have not replaced notebook computers because of their small keyboards and screens. The most popular hand-held computers are those that are specifically designed to provide PIM (personal information manager) functions, such as a calendar and address book.Some manufacturers are trying to solve the small keyboard problem by replacing the keyboard with an electronic pen. However, these pen-based devices rely on handwriting recognition technologies, which are still in their infancy.
