Barack Obama is demonstrating bottomless reservoirs of gracelessness. A full 13 months after his election, in the course of justifying the deployment of 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, President Obama could not spare a word of praise for George W. Bush — not even when recounting the nation's "unified" response to 9/11. To the contrary, throughout his pained recitation of the choices we face in Afghanistan, he adverted at least half a dozen times to the supposed blunders of his predecessor.
It's beginning to sound whiny — and unpresidential. Enough about the terrible mess he inherited. Let's hear a little more about the tremendous honor that has been bestowed on him. Ronald Reagan inherited a worse situation in 1980 — inflation at 13.5 percent; the prime rate at 21 percent; the Soviets in Afghanistan; American hostages in Tehran; Communist coups in ten new countries over the previous decade — but Reagan never impugned his predecessor. As biographer Lou Cannon noted, "Reagan . . . was generous to Carter in his public statements even though he did not care for him."
George W. Bush showed the same chivalry toward Bill Clinton, declining to breathe a negative word about him — even when sorely tempted by the pardon scandal that further tarnished an already clouded tenure. Even now, despite the unremitting barrage from his successor, Bush keeps silent, true to his tradition of civility toward opponents.
No doubt Obama's "success" in Iraq is attributable, as he sees it, to the fact that "I've spent this year renewing our alliances and forging new partnerships" including "a new beginning between America and the Muslim world." Oh yes, that's going so well. As the Taliban gains strength in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the chief object of Mr. Obama's flirtation, Iran, spat in the eyes of the U.S. and the U.N. last week by announcing that it will build ten new nuclear-enrichment facilities. This follows contemptuous brush-offs from Iran's bosses. In November, Ayatollah Khaminei again spurned Obama's "many private approaches," saying it would be "perverted" to negotiate with the United States.
President Obama has been crystal clear that Bush's "arrogance" led to disaster for the United States. And once again he's at pains to emphasize his new approach. The president assured the Afghans that "America is your partner, never your patron" (though a miserably poor and besieged country might like a patron very much). The odd thing is that Obama's tone toward our "partners" sounded downright scolding in several places. "This effort must be based on performance. The days of providing a blank check are over." That is not exactly partnerish talk. "We will be clear," he continued, "about what we expect from those who receive our assistance. . . . We expect those who are ineffective or corrupt to be held accountable."
It would be nice if that standard were applied to Washington, D.C., much less Kabul. But this is the tone of his vaunted new diplomacy? Of Pakistan, the president said, "In the past, we too often defined our relationship . . . narrowly. Those days are over. Moving forward, we are committed to a partnership . . . built on . . . mutual interest, mutual respect, and mutual trust." But then came the poke in the shoulder: "We have made it clear that we cannot tolerate a safe haven for terrorists whose location is known and whose intentions are clear."
Well, perhaps President Obama doesn't realize how he sounds. That must be it. He had the gall, after kneecapping Bush, to demand a halt to "rancor" and "partisanship." But the greater outrage was his pious declaration that "we must make it clear to every man, woman, and child around the world who lives under the dark cloud of tyranny that America will speak out on behalf of their human rights." This from the man whose State Department told China early on that human rights were not our priority; who has decided he can deal with the butchers of Darfur; who averted his eyes from the bloody crackdown on protests in Iran; and who tamely permitted the Chinese to censor his words during his visit.
But there's no cause for self-examination. There's still George W. Bush to kick around.

The Secrets to Her Success: Elizabeth Unruh, Class of 2005 Valedictorian
By Jovie Baclayon
As Pepperdine welcomes the Class of 2009 to its campus, one person who knows how to maximize the undergraduate experience is Elizabeth Unruh, Seaver College's Class of 2005 valedictorian. In addition to classes, working part-time and earning straight A's, Unruh was the event coordinator for the Pepperdine Ambassadors Council (PAC), president of the Delta Delta Delta sorority, and involved in the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) organization and Pepperdine's Career Coaching program. She also studied overseas four times and attended the prestigious Scimitar Leadership Academy in Washington State.
So how exactly did she do it all? "I'm a very scheduled, organized person," says Unruh, who was also one of five valedictorians at Fresno Christian High School. "Most of it is the self discipline that was set as an example at home when I was growing up. It instilled the importance of clearly figuring out what it takes to achieve your goals while achieving balance in your life as well." Being involved in the Pepperdine community and campus life allowed her to combine service or academic involvement with her social life. Unruh, who graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 grade point average in business administration, says she didn't intend to become valedictorian; She was just doing her best while making the most of her college experience.
The University's campus life is what compelled her to enroll. Keith Whitney, associate professor of business law and chair of the business division, spoke to Unruh at length during the Malibu reception for newly admitted students. He detailed everything Pepperdine had to offer, from the Greek system to the spiritual life on campus. "It just altogether sounded like the perfect place that God had been directing me toward," explains Unruh. "I'd gone to a Christian school all of my life and I love that environment but I wanted to find a place that was more open and where people could make their own choices. I just really felt that Pepperdine would be a place I felt comfortable but could also expand my horizons."
Her horizons expanded across the globe when Unruh took advantage of Pepperdine's International Programs. After her freshman year, she spent the beginning of the summer in France for an intensive language program, then immediately went to London for the C.S. Lewis Conference at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Unruh returned to London to study during the second semester of her sophomore year, then flew to Asia to join Pepperdine's Asian Business Tour seminar.
"There was no way I did it myself," she says humbly of her accomplishments. "God just really blessed me and was with me every step of the way and enabled my success to happen." She also had a great support system with her family and friends.
Unruh advises students to enter college with an idea of their personal, physical, emotional and spiritual goals, and encourages asking professors tons of questions and seeking all the help needed to understand the coursework. Most important, Unruh says, is being flexible. "It's important to do the most that you can. It takes self-discipline and is often exhausting, but I wouldn't trade any of my experiences at Pepperdine for the world," she says.
Unruh has accepted a job at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills as a front desk agent. She plans to apply to the management-training program after completing the mandatory six-months-to-one-year initial employment period. Her goal is to transition to the corporate side of hotel operations and apply to MBA programs in a couple of years.

Amazing customer service
Review by confirmed purchaser
A little research will show you that Merlin Cycles is among the least expensive places to buy name brand cycling parts. But it takes a little more digging to show how their customer service goes above and beyond. I recently ordered a groupset from Merlin and inadvertently put the address of the place I just moved out of as the shipping address. I emailed Merlin and Rob was able grab the package right before it was shipped out and change the address. It would have been easier for Merlin just to allow the package to ship and make me try to deal with UPS myself but Merlin went out of their way. Low prices attract customers but good customer service keeps them.

Morning Dingos!
Thanks JG
Wow, Gaye, it just doesn't even seem so long ago that you started studying, and look how far you have come! When do you get the news about that interview?
Welcome et bien!
Real, both those races sound awesome. Does it have to be one or the other? WTG on the hill workout.
Penelope, that's a fantastic time considering all the stretching breaks! Seriously, it would have been a PR, don't you think? And if you can take it easier on the next one, slower, and get to the PT in the meantime, it sounds like your knee issues will be ok.Take it slow in the meantime.
I got in 2 workouts already today - 3 miles with RP and 1200 yards in the pool. That's nice for a change!

Mel, thanks! I think if all knees had cooperated it would have been a pretty good race for me, time-wise. Not having to pee really made a difference! Made the appointment today for the referral into PT - can't get in before Monday but at least I'll have a visit before my next race and I can stretch, etc. in the meantime.
Gaye, keeping fingers crossed for you!
I am so ready for the end of my semester. That's all I can say. Also kind of anxious about the summer as I don't do well with long unstructured chunks of time, but I'll do my part to make it work. <sigh>
I did manage to get out for a run today, even though I didn't feel like it. Once I got started, though, I ran farther than I'd planned, so that felt good. It was a fairly slow six miles, which was fine.
I had time to come home and shower and even put away some laundry before I needed to pick DS up from preschool. I was all set for a good afternoon; I'd told DS that we could go to the mall and he could play on the playmat and I could buy Mother's Day gifts for my mom and my grandmother.
Before coming into the house, DS plays on the porch for a few minutes and then announces he's had an accident. I am furious. He is five years old and has had four or five accidents this week. I'm just beside myself and have no idea what to do. He asks if we'll still go to the mall, and in my fury I say no. Thus begins an hour-long tantrum from DS, screaming about how he won't have another accident, how I promised a trip to the mall, how I'm not letting him do anything he wants to do.
I told him that I couldn't take him to the mall if I thought he was going to have an accident there, and that he needed to spend the day practicing listening to his body and proving that he was in control before he expected me to take him out.
I don't know what to do. I feel crappy not taking him to the mall, but I somewhat suspect that he's just gotten lazy about making it to the bathroom and I want to impress upon him that this is NOT okay with me.
Sometimes this parenting thing sucks.
At least I'll have all afternoon at home to do yardwork.

La4, that does suck. Having gone through a lot of daytime wetting issues last year - I feel that frustration. I hope he isn't too devastated about playing in the yard and helping mom instead of at the mall. Anyway, it is a consequence of an accident, like it or not, that you either can't go somewhere or have to cut a trip short, so .... maybe not so bad?

la4 - I hear your frustration. A once in a while accident is one thing, but repeated is just so annoying!
Thanks JG for the new thread!
I took my dogs out to the forest preserve where they could run around off lead. They had a great time. We went with another friend who brought her dog. He decided to find a dead animal and roll in it. Anyway, there were a ton of ponds and small lakes, so he got to wash off there. My puppy had his first experience with water. I think he was the happiest dog I had ever seen! It was like you could see a door opening in his mind as he realized he was meant to swim! He is happily passed out now after having sunned himself dry on my deck!

I totally overdid it on the weekend. The consequence is that I've accomplished nothing today. Maybe I'll knock out early to refresh DS' reading stack at the library.
Saturday - 10 mile run, set up, ran, and took down a bike rodeo for ~200 kids - put plants into the ground, stood talking to another parent about our school for an hour, then walked to pick up DD from her book club in the evening. I think that was 12-13 hours on my feet.
Sunday - 16 mile bike ride, groceries, soccer x2, 1 nap.
Lala: on the potty, I've been through the ringer. I do think some kids need "retraining" every 3-6 months for years. DD is finally trained now and has been for a year. She's going on 9 years old now.... DS was having increasing accidents this spring, and then I watched him get dressed on morning. I noticed that he was getting himself into his underwear much like a diver squeezes themselves into a wet suit. Sure enough, my 40 pound 5 year old was wearing size 2T underwear. Ooooops. Since sorting his underwear drawer, things are a lot better for him. :bag:

Lalala ~ DD1 had a hard time with REALLY being trained. She was okay unless whatever she was doing was too interesting to stop, then, an accident. I admit I was a little harsh with her after peeing on our brand new sofa for the 200th time. I agree with Geo that some kids need to retrain every couple of months until they really get it. Good luck and you did the right thing.
Welcome et bien! Have fun marathon training!
Geo ~ yikes, what a weekend!!!! I'm impressed .
I skipped my workout this morning in favor of spending my Lenscrafters gift certificate from DH on a new pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses! Both are wonderful, but I did overspend the certificate by about $40. Oops.... Our van is going to be in the body shop for about 3 weeks. Apparently they found damage from an old accident that had never been discovered. Of course, it's past the statue of limitations on the original claim, so I'm out $3000 for the repair and since my insurance isn't covering that, they can't cover a rental car either. It's going to be me and the bike trailer for the next 3 weeks. Good times, good times.

Phoenix trip this [past] weekend w/ dd1 for a climbing competition, just me and her. She's now on varsity, so has to compete more, which means more out of state. Fun, but hectic.
Yes, I am [sort of] here b/c I am sort of exercising regularly
Penelope, great RR.
LaLaLa, I've been there. Our issue was nighttime accidents. I would get frustrated, say things I regretted (cause really, I don't think she was wetting the bed on purpose!) out of frustration over having to wash sheets AGAIN. Deep breaths.
I'm now 2 weeks into PT and thrilled so far. Turns out my issue wasn't weakness in my bad knee leg, it was tightness and misalignment through my core and hips, basically twisting my torso. It felt like my right leg was doing all the work because it was, not because the knee was screwed up. So now it's a process of these insane, mini exercises that make my hips and thighs scream and lots of deep breathing focusing on filling my lungs evenly instead of only using the diaphragm on my right side. Who knew? The good news is that I've seen the heavy feeling almost completely go away, now it's just a matter of balancing my legs to get rid of the hip pain and such. Good times. I managed 4.5 yesterday with very little walking and lots of mud in the park without pain. Now to get my cardio back!
And a question for the biking dingos from a client- how soon is it safe to put a baby in a bike trailer? I'm assuming a helmet is necessary, but how old should they be, or what developmental milestones need to be met? This mama discovered a love of biking after her first was about a year old and is now itching to get back out there with her second baby, but pediatrician told her not before a year. Help!

There are some trailers that will take a baby bucket in the trailer, but I have no experience with those.
For all else, I agree with the ped.
The issue is (1) the helmet and (2) neck strength. The smallest helmets out there fit the 12 month old, 95%ile head. Bouncing, even in a trailer, requires neck strength (more than control) to hold that heavy head in place leading to shaken baby issues. So the bouncing problem is independent of the helmet fit.
I'm going to try to post a bit more in May. Will try to run a bit more, too.
Down to two days until my husband is back from his book tour. I took the kids on a road trip to visit my grandma, which was wonderful peppered with awful moments. I had to call to poison control when the 2 year old broke into the toiletries bag AND the 'child-resistant' Advil container and ate a dozen or so children's Advil. But grandma is doing amazingly for turning 98 later this summer, and we got to swim in her complex pool every day. I want to look and act like her when I'm in my 90s :)
My sister who is entering her final semester of massage therapy school came with us and had a look at my hip and pelvis. She tried a couple of things to see if she could help with the alignment, but thinks that I might need chiro to adjust it since my pelvis is quite badly misaligned. Her advice was to stop my weekly "trial' runs, fix the problem first, and then get some coaching focused on technique and then couch to 5k and start from scratch. This doesn't bode well for a great summer of running, but I'm looking at what my local options for chiro are... In the meantime, I can very comfortably bike, bootcamp seems fine (though I need to chat with the trainer, because his plan for the spring/summer was to increase the amount of running for bootcamp), and I need to do more swimming because it feels so great.
memiles, barring a trailer that accomodates the carseat, I unfortunately agree with the ped. My oldest was big and fit a helmet pretty quickly after she was one. I tried so many helmets on my youngest last summer, and less than ideally stuffed the helmet with some extra padding at 14-15 months when I was desperate to get biking again. And I'm glad the physio is helping- the exercises sound fascinating.
LaX4, sorry about the tough time with your son. Sounds like a logical consequence, though. My two year old had her first full day in underwear today, but the trips to the grocery store and to her big sister's fiddle lesson were a bit frightening for me (no accidents, though, and she even braved the fiddle teacher's outhouse/composting toilet!)

I had a meeting for work tonight that I had to take DS with me to...it ended up being waaaaaay past DS's bedtime by the time we got home, which resulted in some major meltdown action. Sigh. I am SO tired of arguing with the child about everything. And he has recently taken to hitting me when he doesn't like whatever I might be saying to him at the moment. I am feeling like the crappiest parent ever about now. Of course, it does make me feel slightly better that in the midst of arguing, refusing to do what I'm asking him to do, and telling me that he doesn't like me right now, he still interjects plenty of "I love you, mommy"s...
Oh, and my classmate emailed the clinical placement coordinator about our summer placements to see if we will be able to do the 3 day bike ride...two out of the three of us can do it. Guess who can't? I mean, seriously? I emailed the coordinator back to just basically beg for mercy, and laid out the fact that my Sunday clinical this block has forced me to miss my friend's wedding in Paris, my marathon, Easter, and Mother's Day, so please cut me some slack. I am not holding out any hope.
Back to drowning my sorrows in cool ranch doritos.

tjsmama--I hope they are able to change your placement. That's ridiculous to do, twice in a row no less!
La4--sorry about the potty stuff. DD1 occasionally does it, but only usually during a growth spurt. I figure the nerve endings need to reconnect and try to help her be more mindful during those times.
memiles--I agree with tjsmama about the bike trailer. I took R out in it early, around 8 months (with our ped's approval) and stuck to very smooth, paved trails but I only did it a couple of times and then decided to wait until she was a year. With J, I waited until a year. Also, we didn't do helmets in the trailer as my kids are in the 10th percentile, head-wise (and otherwise below the growth chart) and it would be a ridiculously long wait until they fit in a helmet. (Again, I had this discussion with my pediatrician and he was completely supportive as long as they were strapped in securely). We do helmets all the time otherwise, of course. The helmet thing isn't an issue for most people, as most people don't have an almost-14-month-old who still fits comfortably in a baby bucket or a 6-year-old who fits in 4T clothes either, of course.

I agree with Marcia. It has the potential to "kill" a website very quickly that innocently gets dropped from Googles results for a month. I am all for filters but what about the sites that getted dropped for no apparent reason :(

I've had several customers come into my shop asking if I could do some work on their firearms and to my amazement many have stated to have purchased these firearms from Homers Antique store. When I asked for their gun permits they stated they didn't have one nor needed one to buy guns at Homers Store. The latest customer asked if I can add a Bottom Tactical Forearm Rail Kit to an AR-15 he purchased at Homers. He has been getting away with this far to long it is about time someone's done something about his illegal transactions.
You don't need a permit to buy a gun.Unless you're talking about the 3 day waiting period that you can eliminate by having a ccw license.

The expression of calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide and somatostatin in the thyroids of rats of different ages. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 14655148 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Using immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridisation expression of calcitonin, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and somatostatin was examined in rat thyroids. The immunocytochemical reactions demonstrated the presence of the proteins under investigation at all stages of rat life. Calcitonin and CGRP produced the most numerous parafollicular cells, while somatostatin was present in a few cells only. The number of cells producing the above-mentioned hormones was found to increase in rats with the progressing of age. Hybridocytochemical techniques corroborated the results obtained using immunocytochemical techniques. The most numerous cells were found to contain mRNAs for calcitonin and CGRP. In the case of somatostatin, however, multiple parafollicular cells produced mRNA for the hormone but few cells demonstrated the presence of the corresponding protein. |

Ali McGregor's Late-Nite Variety-Nite Night
Review by Cathy Culliver
As this show and its guests are different every night, it's going to be hard for me to be specific in this review. You're not going to see the same show I did. But having said that, if your night does end up being anywhere similar to mine, it's going to be awesome.
Hosted by Ali McGregor and assisted by Virginia Gay, the show is basically a cabaret smorgasbord of comedy, burlesque, music and everything in between. I had the pleasure of seeing Tripod, Tom Allen, Michael Workman and a burlesque performer whose name escapes me – but they were all wonderful.
And it's worth going along if only to hear the songs McGregor busts out in between all the acts with that divine set of pipes of hers. Did someone say jazz-version renditions of Prodigy and Salt 'n' Pepa songs? Yes please. Highly recommended.

At last, some excellent economic news for folks long-mired in the stagnant labor market.
"Jobs Spring Back," exclaimed a typical headline on recent reports that 165,000 private-sector jobs were added in April. Wow — the thunderous, three-year boom of prosperity that has rained riches on Wall Street is finally beginning to shower on our streets, right?

The trend of today is to see the web as a large platform for exchange, information, where users reign supreme, where the power is in the hands of the people. Let's check, shall we? Flickr proudly says they're "A Yahoo! company", complete with the exclamation point, Google is, in their own words "a public and profitable company focused on search services", FeedBurner "reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice" and the good folks at Del.icio.us seems intent to stay in the dark, except for a line thanking "Completely Reliable Networks".
See any evil there? I don't: the licenses are very cookie-cutter (nobody can afford to launch something with any kind of guarantee, nowadays), Yahoo! has full rights to mispunctuate and purchase collaborative sites and Google better make some profits for the well being of their employees. As for Del.icio.us, they follow the good old French proverb that one better stays hidden to live happily.
I may not see evil there but I do see companies, plenty of private interests and a clear message. "We own the content and we are here to make money. If anything goes wrong, please talk to our lawyers." Fine, great, even: it's how the world revolves in our capitalistic societies and it looks like we're all enjoying the perks of the system to some extent. If anything, this also says that our "freedom" and our "owning the new media" is a nice illusion.
Let's imagine for one moment that Google decides they make enough money with selling Lava lamps and pulls the plug on search. Gone are Google maps, page ranks, folksnomy, your precious e-mail collection, your source of information. Let's imagine Flickr, sorry, Flickr!, being a US-based company, needs to comply with laws and gets to delete every picture deemed inappropriate by the US government. Unless you keep a permanent backup of our collection, your data will go poof! with pretty much no chance to ever recover it — they do reserve the right to "remove Content and accounts containing Content that [they] determine in [their] sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable." Let me repeat, "in their sole discretion". And what on earth is "objectionable"?
Again, nothing wrong here. But really, how much do we rely on these companies? For some of us, we couldn't conduct business, court that special guy and remember the groceries list without these commercial services. Yet, we seem to forget any service that is commercial is subject to the decision of its owners and escapes our control. For those of us who don't even live in the United States, we place our possessions and private lives under laws that don't define ownership, privacy and customer protection in the same way as our national laws — which may be good or bad, depending on where we come from.
Much like a popular car surveillance system, the Internet is "Always there, always ready". But these individual services, the ones we define as being at the core of a supposed "Web 2.0″ are not. They are commercial ventures, as unpredictable as any other profit-seeking endeavor, as subject to bankruptcy or lunatic management practices.
Here is a game: let's say you have one day to download your pictures out of Flickr and your mail out of GMail. Can you? Do you even have access to the data? Do you still really own it?
Have we sold our most precious possession, our data, to companies? Worse, have we given it to them, along with our blessing to blend it with context-sensitive ads? Loaning it, using a specific service for a certain time is definitely OK, even if that service is proprietary, closed-source or whatever, but what about selling it, giving it away?
Is Web 2.0 about the success of a few technologies or the success of a few companies?

Stay Gorgeous On The Go
Summer is all about impromptu road trips, off-the-cuff outings and fun activities with family and friends. No matter where you're heading as the weather heats up -- from amusement parks to cottages and everywhere in between -- we show you what to pack so you always look your best.
HeadbandEven a gentle summer breeze can wreak havoc on your hair. Should the wind (or a roller coaster) turn your blowout into a hot mess, a headband can help give your locks new life, or at least keep strands out of your face and make for a more polished look. We like this on trend tribal print headband, which can easily be added to any outfit (shopbop.com, $25). Spray tonerHot, humid days can render even the palest among us pink-cheeked and sweaty. Cool off with the refreshing blast of a spray toner. Going on a picnic or road trip? Keep your toner in the cooler so it offers even more of a chilly blast. There are countless options to choose from, but we like the ones with added skin-saving benefits like antioxidants. Try Ole Henriksen Pick Me Up Face Tonic formulated with vitamin C and soothing chamomile (sephora.com, $21). ElasticsYou never know when you're going to need to tie your hair back. If you've ever driven in a convertible with the top down or strolled along the beach sans elastic, you know how easy it is for your tresses to turn into tangles. We're big fans of Goody Ouchless Hair Elastics that come in a ball of 36 so you'll never run out (target.com, $5). SunscreenNo one wants a burn. Not only are they unsightly, but they're the ultimate skin sin. Keep your face and body protected with a broad spectrum sunscreen (which protects from both UVA and UVB rays) and reapply if you sweat or get wet. Pack Clinique Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 40 ($21) for great on-the-go coverage. It's weightless and protects against environmental damage. Cleansing clothsCleansing cloths are a girl's best friend on the road. Wash your face without water, freshen up between events or even clean up sticky fingers when you're traveling with kids. We never leave home without them and always have a package of Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes in our bag no matter where we go (ulta.com, $7). They remove makeup, refresh skin and exfoliate all in one. Oh, and they're biodegradable, too. Tinted lip glossA swipe of berry-hued gloss is an instant pick-me-up and the easiest way to brighten up your look on the go. Choose something non-sticky and in a flattering shade with a touch of shimmer. Our go-to gloss this summer is Joe Fresh Lip Tint in Mango ($6). How to incorporate summer colors into your makeupLean how to use makeup colors and the colors of the season to look great in the summer. SheKnows.com and their celebrity makeup artist, Allison Pynn, show you how easy it is to use colors that fit the season. More summer beautyCool makeup that will last all summer

text: From a programmer's point of view, and based on experience with other similar issues, it seems likely that Google will simply pick one <h1> (either the first or the last) and essentially ignore the others in terms of scoring. From a standards compliance point of view, of course, you should only have one <h1>. You can have a multi-line <h1> and control its appearance with CSS, but I think you'd get better results with the <h1>-<h2> hierarchy that others have suggested.

The MUM men's tennis team was 5-2 overall (5-0 ORCC) heading into the regular-season finale at OU-Chillicothe.

The nutrient analysis for this New York strip steak includes 75 calories from the whiskey, which is counted as a sweet when calculating servings and exchanges.
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
Grill or broil the steaks until slightly pink on the inside, about 10 minutes each side. Or until a food thermometer indicates 145 F (medium rare), 160 F (medium) or 170 F (well done). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
In a small saucepan, heat the margarine over medium heat. Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme and rosemary. Saute lightly until the mushrooms are tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully add the whiskey (be careful not to flame). Stir the sauce for another minute. Top the steaks with the mushrooms sauce and serve immediately.

Am I too old to raise a child?
I'm 37 years old and pregnant, and some family and friends tell me I'm too old (all their children are already 6 to 12 years old). They say that when this child has finished school I'll be reaching retirement age and won't be able to enjoy life's little ups and downs with him or her. Please give me some advice -- their comments are really getting to me.

I am 34 and 29 weeks pregnant with my 3rd. My husband is 54 years old & is very excited about becoming a Daddy again. He is already a Grandpa. But, he tells everyone how proud & excited that he is to be having a baby again. You are only as old as you think!posted 04/25/2005 by SKalama
Wendy I am a mother of one Daughter who will be 17 when this baby is born. I am 36 years old and feel that no age is to old. Now days there is several women in there late 30's and early 40's haveing babies every day. Tell them to take a hike and enjoy the new one when it is born you will have plenty of running around to do.posted 04/25/2005 by leisa1998
I am 38 and expecting our first child in aug/05. I enjoyed my life when i was younger and got married at almost 36 so having our first child now. You are as old as you feel and we will have more patience then a younger mother would of had. Don't listen to anyone. Your baby will keep you young. Lillian from canadaposted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm right up there with you at the age of 35, Wendy,and pregnant with my second child. I agree with everyone on the board. Tell these judgemental people to take a hike, and don't let it get to you. I have heard the same from my family...I even heard it when I was 27 and pregnant with my first child. The true reason they do this? they are all jelous..the same people are just a few years older than me and becomming GRANDPARENTS..and here I am..acting like a teenager. 'lol'. Enjoy that baby, and remember age is just a number and state of mine. So keep your state of mind young! God Bless!posted 04/25/2005 by sunnyrose7
I have tried to have a baby since I was 23 - 3 miscarriages, including one with invitro- I am 40! and am expecting my first child and couldn't be more happier! One way to stay young! And, it just "happened" naturally. God's way of telling me something. -Teresaposted 04/25/2005 by Teresa619
Hey Wendy. I'm 37 as well and will be 38 by the time bubs arrives. What other people think, doesnt even come into consideration, its my choise. In fact, I'm thinking of having another after this one. My parents had my little sister when my mother was 47. Dont listen to other people and enjoy your pregnancy. Your only as old as you feel.posted 04/25/2005 by bonjovi6
I'll be 37 when I have my 2nd son next month! I'm glad I waited until I was over 30 to have a child. Go with your gut feeling & know that it's your decison!posted 04/25/2005 by Nikkimccl
funny, i think your friends & family are being pretty short-sighted. there are advantages to having young parents and advantages to having older parents (including, often, more stable income and less youthful selfishness, in addition to more time to eventually be supportive grandparents). you've chosen to do things differently from what your critics may be familiar or comfortable with, but it sounds as though their issues may be more related to their own lack of imagination than they are to your actual shortcomings. love and commitment are the most important things in raising a child, period.posted 04/25/2005 by bes72
Not only is that rude, it just goes to show you how selfish those people are! You want to shut them up? Tell them, "So, what you're saying is I should go get an abortion and kill my child. Is that right?" Be sure to go heavy on both the venom and the sarcasm. Believe me, they'll backtrack really fast and, if they're not more supportive afterwords, at least they'll never bring it up again. I'm 36 and pregnant with my second child; our first is almost two, and we're still considering a third. If we do, and keep the same timing, I'll be closing in on 40! The short of it is, don't let ANYONE tell you you're too old! That's up to Mother Nature. Menopause it the turning point ladies; as long as you're producing eggs, you're NOT too old. My daughter has given me years back. I haven't felt this young since I was 17, but without all the emotional angst. It would take to long to go into all the plusses, but I know that I'm a better mommy now than I ever could have been in my twenties. Be happy. Enjoy your pregnancy and your child, and ignore anyone who tries to take that away from you!posted 04/25/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Well Wendy, here's my 2 cents worth: You're pregnant now correct? Are you going to terminate because of other people's unsolicited opinions? I'm thinking not. Is this their pregnance? No. So, let it slide off your back like water off a ducks ass. If they won't leave it alone, here's my next comment... The part of me that's sick of people butting in where they don't belong says this.... Tell them what they can do with their opinion. I bet if you said something like... "oh my God, you're right, I better book an abortion right now." it would probably shut some of them up. Sorry, some people piss me off. In the end, it's your baby, your pregnancy, and your life. How do YOU about it? In the end, that's all that matters. Best of luck and lots of love to you and your baby. Robynposted 04/25/2005 by Robyn-F

Recent efforts to determine the extent of nutrient over-enrichment, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment (Bricker et al. 1999), have been hampered by a lack of systematic monitoring and reporting and inadequate coverage of the nation's coasts. Nonetheless, the available data clearly demonstrate that problems associated with nutrient over-enrichment occur nationwide and that impacts will worsen if current trends continue. As discussed earlier, NOAA's examination of 139 coastal water bodies found that nearly one-third (44) are experiencing severe or worsening impacts caused by nutrient over-enrichment (Figure 1-1). The nutrient sources are diverse, often rooted in major changes in technology and human behavior over the last 50 years—ranging from significant changes in how agriculture is conducted to expanded use of fossil fuels. Solutions to the problems caused by nutrient over-enrichment are multi-faceted and vary from region to region.
Although there are large national programs that aim to "protect and restore coastal waters and habitat," there is no nationwide strategy designed specifically to address excess nutrient inputs to coastal waters. At present, there is little accessible information or easily implemented and reliable methods for a decisionmaker or program manager in a coastal area to determine the sources of excess nutrients or the potential impacts of those nutrients to a specific coastal waterbody.1 Although many federal agencies are making significant independent efforts to help local jurisdictions deal with the effects of nutrient over-enrichment in coastal settings, the degree of coordination among these agencies and efforts remains inadequate.
The severity of nutrient-related problems and the importance of the coastal areas at risk demand the development and implementation of a National Nutrient Management Strategy. The National Nutrient Management Strategy should coordinate local, state, regional, and national efforts to combat nutrient over-enrichment in coastal areas, with the goal of seeing significant and measurable improvement in the environmental quality of impaired coastal ecosystems.

High CPU Usage
17 August 2011 at 7:52am Last edited: 17 August 2011 9:41am
I am new to server optimization and was wondering if anyone could help.
I have a Silverstripe site in staging on a MediaTemple dv 3.5 remote server. Whenever I do a ?flush=1 my CPU usage spikes to 100%. Is this normal?
I also noticed that when I visit certain pages on my site, I am getting CPU usage in the range of 20%. Is this normal and when the site goes live and has many visitors, will the CPU usage grow exponentially and crash the server?
Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
Re: High CPU Usage
17 August 2011 at 6:22pm
Are you monitoring the CPU usage using top?
Depending on how large your site is, flushing the cache can take up considerable CPU resources because it's rebuilding everything.
I wouldn't be worried about this, however 100% does sound pretty hefty so there might be some inefficiencies in your code.Certain pages might produce a spike if you're in dev mode and have the cache set to flush on every page load. Other than that, I can only think of inefficient code.
Are you using any performance monitoring solution or service, like New Relic or SIlverStripe Dawn?
Re: High CPU Usage
19 August 2011 at 4:00am Last edited: 19 August 2011 4:00am
Thanks for the tips Ryan. I'll look into the monitoring services and look into my code. This is only my second Silverstripe site, so inefficiency definitely isn't out of the question!
I also have been doing some benchmark tests and have noticed that my pages are only getting about 7 to 8 requests per second. With partial cacheing enabled and with APC installed ( I have SS set up to you use APC memory for the partial cacheing), does this number seem low to you? I think I mentioned I'm on a Media Temple dv 3.5 with 1GB of RAM.
On a site that averages around 10,000 page views a day and 30,000 to 40,000 hits per day is my requests per second too low?
Thanks again for your help on this!
Re: High CPU Usage
30 August 2011 at 7:28pm
You shouldn't be focused on requests per second. The durations of the requests are a better indicator of server performance. Either way, 7 to 8 rps sounds normal, especially with caching enabled.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A 15-year-old West High School student was arrested Monday morning for assaulting a teacher by using a lighter to ignite her hair and shirt.
School resource officers responded to a classroom around 10:45 a.m. According to the victim and witnesses, when teacher Gabriela Penalba, 23, turned her back to the classroom, a male student lit her hair and shirt on fire.
Other students quickly helped put out the fire.
The suspect then tossed the lighter out the window while Penalba was getting help.
The suspect fled from officers, but was quickly caught after a foot chase. He admitted to the assault during a police interview.
The fire was put out before Penalba received burns to her skin.
The 15-year-old suspect was charged with aggravated assault and evading arrest. He was taken to the juvenile detention facility.

Shapers Comments:
The Magic Model is one of the most sophisticated Longboards ever designed. Originally built in 1981, the magic model was years ahead of its time and has become the prototype of the modern longboard. The Original Magic Model has been tested and improved for over twenty five years and today its performance is unmatched.
The Magic model is a great nose riding board, yet it is still an unbelievable all around performance Longboard.
The Original Magic is unique in that it is recommended for both beginner surfers as well as advanced surfers, it works well in small surf and giant surf. The combination of stability, maneuverability and speed make the magic model ride easy yet exciting.
The Magic Model is designed with a concave nose flowing to the middle of the board that transitions into double concave hulls extending to the tail with a moderate "V". Rails are hard from the nose to the tail to maintain responsiveness in all conditions. Although the rails tend to be harder than most other longboards, the unique bottom curve and beveled rails keep them from catching like most other hard rail boards.
2010 marks the Original Magic Models 26th anniversary. It is our all time best selling board simply because it rides like magic.
All boards are glassed with a 2 x 6oz deck and 1 x 6oz bottom with a patch on the fin area. We give the boards the gloss polished finish and they come standard with 7" on the boards up to 9'0' and 8"" Walden Center fin on the larger models, all come with FCS Walden M Series Glassflex side fins.

Truthdig Wins Big at L.A. Press Club AwardsPosted on Jun 28, 2010
We're pleased to announce that Truthdig won four first-place honors, more than any other website, in the Southern California Journalism Awards presented by the Los Angeles Press Club on Sunday evening in Los Angeles. The honors follow on the heels of our Webby award for the world's Best Political Blog of 2009, which we picked up in New York two weeks ago, and we're deeply grateful for the recognition. The glittery event at the Biltmore Hotel featured comments by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and special honors to CNN's Anderson Cooper (presented by Sean Penn) and NPR's Anne Garrels. Print, online and broadcast journalists were honored for excellence in work produced in 2009. Truthdig's awards went to political reporter Bill Boyarsky, a former metro editor and longtime political writer for the Los Angeles Times, who was named Online Journalist of the Year; columnist Chris Hedges, a former Mideast bureau chief for The New York Times, for best Online Column/Commentary/Criticism (click here to read his winning column, "One Day We'll All Be Terrorists"), and Mark Heisler, Los Angeles Times sports writer and Truthdig contributor, for best Online Sports News/Feature/Commentary, for his Truthdig commentary about the media's coverage of the Tiger Woods scandal. Truthdig also won an award for Best Website, Exclusive to the Internet (Budget Over $10,000).

April Fools recipe: Mock apple pie
April Fool your friends and family with an 'apple' pie made with Ritz crackers.
(Page 2 of 2)
And here I come with fake pie.

As the hostess settles the pie into the preheated oven, I grin sheepishly and shrug. "It's surprise pie!," I say, and offer no more information. Soon a delicious cinnamon aroma drifts from the kitchen and I'm already getting appreciative remarks from my friends who are anticipating dessert. Ahem. (Did I mention feeling guilty?)
As we assemble around the coffee table, two pies are set out. Mine, and a homemade strawberry rhubarb pie. Vanilla ice cream, too, of course.
Kim, the one who works on farm to school projects, took a brave, large piece. I encouraged her to guess the "secret" ingredient.
"I taste lemon!" she declared. Anything else? "Potato?" Nope.
"How much butter is in here?" Neeka asks. Um, depends on how you define that.
Now deeply ashamed, I reveal the secret crackers. There is a pause, mid-chew. But I am quickly reassured that it actually tastes quite good! The lemon sings, the salt tantalizes, the butter soothes, and the cinnamon tricks. All this magic prompts a discussion about how easily we are fooled by food and by the way, did anyone realize that McDonald's apple pies are made with potato? (Snopes debunks this claim, however.)
In any case, it was a sweet ending to our potluck. And Kim graciously reassured me, "Ritz Crackers are never out of season."
Touché, Michael Pollan.
Mock Apple Pie
1-3/4 cups water
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Zest from 1 lemon
2 pastry pie shells
1-3/4 cups Ritz Crackers, coarsely broken
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Preheat the oven to 425 F degrees.
In a saucepan, heat water, sugar, and cream of tartar to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Add lemon juice and zest; let cool.
Line pie plate with pastry. Place broken crackers in crust. Pour cooled syrup over crackers. Dot with butter; sprinkle with cinnamon.
Roll out top crust; place over pie, crimp, and make fork holes for steam. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
