More stories from RealBeauty.com: Hunger Games-Inspired Beauty Bedazzled Beauty Buys For Every Budget Source: Thinkstock Start Tan at Least Two Days in Advance What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're going to get a fake tan before the big day, spray-tan at least two days prior to your wedding, makeup artist Alexandra Andrade advises. "It'll darken on the second day, and by the third day, it'll have settled and be perfect." More stories from RealBeauty.com: 70 Pretty, Fresh Ways to Wear Spring Makeup Source: Thinkstock 1 / 20 Consider Climate Before Applying Makeup What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Especially for brides getting married in warmer climates, consider using as many oil-free products as possible — primer, moisturizer, foundation, etc. — and keeping oil-free blotting sheets on hand. Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets ($6) More stories from RealBeauty.com: The 18 Products Beauty Editors Can't Live Without Source: Thinkstock 2 / 20 Play Up Your Makeup for Photos What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Another general rule for brides," Alex says: "The camera will blow you out in photos. Put on a little more makeup than you would apply normally, more than you think you need, since the camera and lights will tone down your makeup." If you're doing your own makeup: Practice and take pictures before the big day. Start with less, because it's easier to add more if you need it than having to remove excess makeup, which can get messy. More stories from RealBeauty.com: Secrets to Sexy Hair Source: Thinkstock 3 / 20 Use a Primer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Especially with brides," Alex says, "you want to make sure you cleanse and really moisturize the skin before you start applying your makeup. Then, after you moisturize and before you put on your foundation, there's a really important step — primer. It'll make your makeup go on smoother and last a lot longer. You're going to have a long day ahead of you, and you want your makeup to last you all day and all night." Alex recommends using Laura Mercier primer. "It's one of my favorites," she says. "It's really great because it comes in all different formulas for all different skin types." Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation Primer ($30) More stories from RealBeauty.com: 33 Best Braids Worn by Beautiful Celebrities Source: Thinkstock 4 / 20 Always Apply Your Foundation with a Sponge or Brush What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Certain foundations work better with a sponge or brush," Alex says, "but definitely use either one or the other — never your fingers. The less you can touch your face, the better." (Bacteria, dirt, etc., can be left behind.) Your fingers can also leave behind fingerprints, "so the look isn't as smooth and finished-looking." If you use a sponge, apply foundation by stippling the sponge, not swiping it across the skin. This gives your foundation a more natural look, and blends it more evenly into the skin. CoverGirl Make-Up Masters Sponge Puffs ($3) Source: Thinkstock 6 / 20 Put on Concealer After Your Foundation What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Your moisturizer, primer, and foundation are already going to even out skin and cover imperfections," Alex says, "so doing it before your foundation could leave you looking cakey with too much product." She also notes that it's important to use a different kind of concealer for your eyes than for your face. "It should be something very creamy and emollient — not necessarily oil-free, like you'll use on your face — so it doesn't get dry and cakey throughout the day," she says. "You also want to use something peach-based so it contrasts the the blue and purple tones of your eyelid." Laura Mercier Under Eye Perfecter ($22) Source: Thinkstock 6 / 20 Use Different Concealers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your concealer choice depends on what you're covering. "If it's a blemish, red spot, or broken capillaries, use an oil-free, pigmented, thicker concealer with hints of yellow," Alex says. "For under your eyes, you want to use something with a little more peach in it to cover and contrast the blues and purples. It should be something emollient and creamy because there are no oil glands there. Sometimes you'll see women with dry, cakey concealer under eyes; their concealer is either oil-free or they have too much on." Make sure to use a brush to apply your concealer so you can really pinpoint the spot. Press gently and melt it into skin. Start thin — you can always add more. Laura Mercier Secret Concealer ($22) Source: Thinkstock 7 / 20 Primer for Eye Shadow What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Using an eye shadow primer ensures smudge-free makeup, a must when you're wearing all white. Laura Mercier Eye Basics ($24) Source: Thinkstock 8 / 20 For a Natural Makeup Look, Try a Cream Blush What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It goes on sheer and looks healthy and fresh. If you want more staying power, try layering a powder blush on top of it. Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride ($30) Source: Thinkstock 9 / 20 You Can Learn Where to Place Your Blush Just by Smiling! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you smile, the apple of your cheek pops out. Place your blush right there and blend into your temple — this will make it look like you're naturally flushing. Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour ($24) Source: Thinkstock 11 / 20 An Eyebrow Pencil Is a Must-Have What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "A big step that some women forget when they do their makeup," Alex advises, "and something that you'll especially want to do on your wedding day, is to use a brow pencil to fill in your eyebrow. It really frames your eye and finishes the whole picture." A tip for finding the right color for your eyebrow pencil: Always go a shade or two lighter than your own natural eyebrow color. Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil ($20) Source: Thinkstock 11 / 20 Replace Pencil Eye Liner with Cake Liner What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Cake liner is a great product," Alex says. "Once you apply it, it lasts all day — seriously, it really won't budge! A pencil can sometimes disappear — it has an oily, waxy texture that can migrate down your skin." Because cake liner is dry, you'll need a little bit of water to activate it — aim for a shoe- polish consistency. If you do decide to use a pencil, Alex suggests setting it with some powder so it'll stay longer. Regardless of which type of eyeliner you use, you'll want to make your lashes look thicker by filling in the roots of the lashes. "This is a place where many women don't traditionally line," Alex says, "but you'll see that it makes the eye pop and the lash line look a lot more plush." Apply by pressing in between the lash roots. Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Liner ($22) Source: Thinkstock 12 / 20 Use Eye-Enhancing Makeup Techniques What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Focus darker eye shadow on the outside of eyes, moving lighter and brighter as you work in, "so you don't close off the eyes," Alex says. "You want them to look big, bright, and beautiful." And if you happen to mess up on your eye makeup? "Just take a little makeup remover or eye cream on a Q-tip to clean it up. If you use a wipe, you're risking ruining your foundation and concealer too." Source: Thinkstock 13 / 20 Get Wide-Awake Eyes in Seconds What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Always use a shimmer powder in the inner corners of your eyes before taking any photos," Alex says. "It makes a huge difference — it really will give you eyes that look bright and awake." Use a brush with a smaller head to get right into the inner corners of the eyes. Laura Mercier Shimmer Bloc ($38) Source: Thinkstock 14 / 20 Curl Your Lashes the Right Way What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "The best way to curl your lashes," Alex says, "is to curl at the root of the lash, at the middle, and at the tip. You don't need to clamp down with the curler, just squeeze lightly." Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler ($20) Source: Thinkstock 15 / 20 Use Fake Lashes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I recommend using false eyelashes for all brides or any special occasion where you'll be in pictures," Alex says. "They make your eyes look big and captivating." If you're going for a full-on sexy or glamorous look, use a full lash strip. However, for a more subtle look, use individual lashes. "Either way," Alex says, "always curl your lashes and do a coat of mascara first — then apply the fake lashes. After that, wait until the glue dries, use your eyelash curler again, and, finally, apply another coat of mascara." Tip: Cut and measure false eyelashes before you apply them. You don't want them to extend past your natural lash line. Source: Thinkstock 16 / 20 Waterproof Makeup Is Key What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "If you're worried you're going to cry on your wedding day," Alex suggests using "a great product by Benefit called She Laq that will seal everything." Take the She Laq (it comes with four different brushes for easy application) and put it all over your lid to seal in shadow and liner so it won't run when you cry. And don't forget waterproof mascara! "Even if you don't like waterproof," she says, "use it as an extra coat over your other mascara. And, if you're wearing false lashes, use a glue that's waterproof, too." Benefit She Laq ($30) Source: Thinkstock 17 / 20 Do Some Prep Work — on Your Lips What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Put lip balm on your lips before gloss or lipstick so they're not dry and flaky. Then, fill in your entire lip with a lip pencil, which will hold the color longer. "For brides who just want to wear a gloss, prepare for it to fade," Alex says. "However, a lip pencil will help you keep some of that color longer." Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita ($24) Source: Thinkstock 18 / 20 Carry a Few Touch-Up Products in Your Makeup Bag What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Carry at least your lip color," Alex says, "as that's what'll wear out the fastest and need to be touched up the most." If you use good quality face and eye primers, everything else should stay in place. Alex also advises keeping some oil blotting sheets on hand. "If you don't want to keep piling on powder throughout the day, make sure you also have some oil-absorbing sheets so you're not just adding on more and more makeup. You can switch on and off — an application of powder, then the oil-absorbing sheets, and so on." Q-tips are another great item to carry around with you. Makeup can collect in the inner corners of your eyes, and you can use the q-tips to clean them out. Source: Thinkstock 19 / 20 Play it Safe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're considering making a drastic change (i.e. lightening brows, changing hair color, doing an intense tan), think twice. Changing your look so significantly before such a big event can be a big mistake. Instead, aim to look like yourself—just enhanced.

Plasmatron Reformer Cuts Diesel Emissions, Promises Better Gasoline Engine Efficiency
November 5, 2003
Research funded for several years by the U.S Department of Energy's (DOE)'s FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies Program and later, in addition, by ArvinMeritor, has led to deployment of a new technology that can reduce harmful exhaust emissions from diesel vehicles and potentially provide substantial increases gasoline engine efficiency.
A bus in Indiana is the latest laboratory for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) plasmatron reformer, a small device its developers believe could significantly cut the nation's oil consumption as well as noxious emissions from a variety of vehicles. DOE has provided funding for MIT's research into the plasmatron reformer, beginning in the late 1990s. In 2001, ArvinMeritor exclusively licensed the technology for the gasoline and diesel vehicle applications described in this story.
MIT researchers and colleagues from industry reported plasmatron reformer advances at the American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics meeting in October and at the DOE Diesel Engine Emissions Reduction (DEER) meeting in August. At the DEER meeting, they reported that the device, used with an exhaust treatment catalyst on a diesel engine bus, removed up to 90 percent of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the bus's emissions. Nitrogen oxides are the primary components of smog.
The plasmatron reformer also cut in half the amount of fuel needed for the removal process. "The absorption catalyst approach under consideration for diesel exhaust NOx removal requires additional fuel to work," explained Daniel R. Cohn, one of the leaders of the team and head of the Plasma Technology Division at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC). "The plasmatron reformer reduced that amount of fuel by a factor of two compared to a system without the plasmatron."
Cohn noted that another important advance was that the plasmatron reformer also allowed the NOx absorption catalyst to be effective at the low exhaust temperatures characteristic of urban use.
These results indicate that the plasmatron reformer, in conjunction with a NOx absorber catalyst, could be one of the most promising ways to meet stricter emissions limits for all heavy trucks and buses. The Environmental Protection Agency plans to institute the new limits by 2007.
"Diesel engine vehicles generally do not have exhaust treatment systems," Cohn said, adding that treating diesel exhaust is much more difficult than gasoline exhaust.
Under development for the last six years, the plasmatron is an onboard "oil reformer" that converts a variety of fuels into high-quality, hydrogen-rich gas. Adding a relatively modest amount of such gas to the gasoline powering a car or to a diesel vehicle's exhaust is known to have benefits for cutting the emissions of pollutants. "Prior to the plasmatron reformer development, there was no attractive way to produce that hydrogen on board," said Cohn.
His colleagues are Leslie Bromberg and Alexander Rabinovich of the PSFC; John Heywood, director of MIT's Sloan Automotive Laboratory and the Sun Jae Professor of Mechanical Engineering; and Rudolf M. Smaling, a graduate student in the Engineering Systems Division. Smaling is an engineering manager from ArvinMeritor, a major automotive and heavy truck components company. The bus engine tests were performed at the company's facility in Columbus, Indiana, by an ArvinMeritor team.
Toward Increased Gasoline Engine Efficiency
In addition, the team is finding that the device could make gasoline engine vehicles cleaner and more efficient, with a potentially significant impact on oil consumption. They project that gasoline engine efficiency could be increased by up to 30 percent through improved performance allowed by the addition of hydrogen-rich gas.
"If widespread use of plasmatron hydrogen-enhanced gasoline engines could eventually increase the average efficiency of cars and other light-duty vehicles by 20 percent, the amount of gasoline that could be saved would be around 25 billion gallons a year," Cohn said. "That corresponds to around 70 percent of the oil that is currently imported by the United States from the Middle East."
The Bush administration has made development of a hydrogen-powered vehicle a priority, Heywood noted. "That's an important goal, as it could lead to more efficient, cleaner vehicles, but is it the only way to get there? Engines using plasmatron reformer technology could have a comparable impact, but in a much shorter time frame," he said.
"Our objective is to have the plasmatron in production-and in vehicles-by 2010," Smaling said. ArvinMeritor is working with a vehicle concept specialist company to build a proof-of-concept vehicle that incorporates the plasmatron in an internal combustion engine. "We'd like to have a driving vehicle in one and a half years to demonstrate the benefits," Smaling said.
In the meantime, the team continues to improve the base technology. At the DEER meeting, Bromberg reported cutting the plasmatron's consumption of electric power "by a factor of two to three."

8 am-8 pm
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Upper West Side
Alice's, as its name implies, is a beloved tea parlor on the upper east side, but more people go there for muffins these days than tea. (Not that the tea isn't good.)
my favorite place for tea and soups in the city ! love u guys !
Great muffins too! – If you are looking for something more substantial to fill your belly with than just a cup of coffee or tea, try one of their daily soups or a bagel with cream cheese and tomato. I ordered the white bean soup and one of these days, I am going to turn my kitchen into a culinary chemistry lab trying to figure out all of the ingredients in this soup so that I don't have to rely on somebody else to make it for me. They have a full menu of things I'll try in the future.
love the scones!!! – Shelly always recommends the best scones!! I love the tea and cupcakes too! It makes me want my own wings!!
Better Chocolate Places in town – I thought Alice Tea Cup was a pretty cute place, but I still love Allison Nelson's Chocolate Bar for the best chocolate in town! Their new location in the West Village has a great nostalgia influenced ambiance with the BEST varieties of gourmet chocolates around! They just moved to 19 Eighth Avenue between 12th Street & Jane, NYC (West Village). Its a must try, I guarantee you'll love it!
Perfect Tea Spot – I absolutely love Alice's! I'm a big tea drinker, and I'm never disappointed with their tea selection. The scones are the best I've ever had, and the soups and sandwiches are all delicious. I also love to come here for brunch--the eggs benedict and French toast are outstanding. If you come here on the weekend, be prepared for a long wait (we're talking up to two hours), but they'll take your phone number and you can walk to the park or do some shopping in the neighborhood until they call you. The servers can seem a little frazzled sometimes, but I've never had bad service here. Even on the busiest mornings, they're always happy to answer questions and make recommendations, and I've never felt rushed. Definitely make a reservation if you're coming with a larger group, and if not, I recommend coming during the week, when it's less chaotic. Even if you do end up waiting, I promise it's worth it!
Cute little knook to relax and eat – I LOVE this place. Alice's tea cup is soooo cool and relaxing. I bring my neices and nephew here for breakfast and they absolutely love it. The food is great - a huge selection of teas (green, white, black etc). Try the hot chocolate - soo devine in cold weather. I like the eggs benedict and pancakes here. Also, the crepes are awesome. You can enjoy lunch here as well as they offer lots of tea sandwiches to choose from. One year, my neice celebrated her 5th birthday party in the back room. Her friends dressed up like princesses and had tea sandwiches and hot chocolate. They also had a face painter and a person dressed up like Alice in Wonderland to read stories to them. This place is amazing!!!
bad service – i came here on a saturday afternoon with my friends. (we made reservations before hand) not all my friends were there yet and they said we had to wait until the rest of us came (only three more ppl). plus they told us we had to wait for our table...an hour later we said whats up with our table- we had reservations. they said it is very busy we might have to wait two hours. the girl at the front desk didn't even seem to sh*t. we were angry complained and didn't get anything out of that!!
An english tea any time of the day in a nice and comfortable atmosphere – Oh my goodness gracious, heavens to mergatroid and then some!!! This place is sooo cute and sweet!!!
On my first visit to the W73rd St store...on the recommendation of a friend, I almost missed it because you have to step down from the sidewalk to get to the door and I wasn't paying attention...silly me...I found it on my second pass though and had the best surprise as I entered...the beautiful aroma of fresh from the oven scones...YUM!...I love the inviting homey feel and the staff is so friendly too...! They recommended the pumpkin scone...ooh...I just have to say...to-die-for-yummy!...actually, so is the buttermilk scone...hee-hee...hard to make up my mind...
The staff also recommended a nice tea and the service is beautifully mixed and matched-cute and adds to the easy comforting ambiance of the shop...
A friend and I went to both 63rd and 81st Street shops on the east side and we haven't been disappointed...and those are a bit bigger and how it's presented...The scenes painted on the walls, the fabric on the seats, the color scheme...it's just so nicely done...there was a baby shower and a bridal shower going on in the back rooms while we were at the one on 63rd one time...the place is very suited for stuff like that...but boy-oh-boy, those yummy scones with the jam and the apple nutella sandwichs are just sooo right...!
Well...there's my opinion...when you try them out, I hope you end up feeling like I do...Five YUMS!!!...lol...
Such a cute place! – I love Alice's Tea Cup. I can't believe it took me four years to finally go since it's right around the corner from my apartment. And now I'm addicted to their scones...and their chocolate cake...and their tea. The only room for improvement that I see is that they should put in a communal table to perhaps cut down on the wait on the weekends....it can get pretty long.
Great brunch and daytime date spot – Guys: If you're looking to win over a lady on your first daytime date, this is the place to do it. The operative word is "adorable" -- think mismatched furnishings, kiddie murals and a whole lot of Upper West Side younglings underfoot. The tea list tends toward herbals and British varieties, but it's without a doubt one of the longest in town. And the food menu is appropriately charming -- don't leave without trying the French toast bites. If you can get a seat for Sunday brunch, you won't be disappointed.

I saw a show on the food network where someone did coffee bean/orange infused vodka which turned out to be an amazing liqueur. After that I became addicted to infusing vodka. It's simple, tasty and easy to impress friends. I'd also say if you were to make these infused vodkas and give them as gifts you'd have a ton of new friends. Being a hot head, I made this chili infused vodka because it's vital for a good Caesar. In Canada we have Clamato, a tomato and clam juice, which when mixed with some vodka and hot sauce (and other ingredients of course) becomes like this spicy Bloody Mary. You can add whatever else you like; I find a little Worcestershire and salt with the Clamato works great.

Reviews & Quotes Over the years, American Ballet Theatre has garnered numerous rave reviews from the press for the elegance and spectacle of its unforgettable performances. Below are a small sampling of some of the critical accolades ABT has received, both for the Company and for the ballets in its current Met season repertoire. "Once in a not too frequent while, there comes along an evening that reminds you why you're in the theatre in the first place, and why dance is not a luxury or a frill but a necessity of life. Such an evening was American Ballet Theatre." --The Washington Post "One of the most beautiful sights in dance is American Ballet Theatre in full flight." --Clive Barnes, New York Post "American Ballet Theatre and Kevin McKenzie's success is a victory for American dance and their happy influence on our cultural landscape only grows with each season." --San Francisco Chronicle "ABT has become a company that doesn't revolve around one star couple, but in fact integrates a whole passel of highly skilled principal dancers with distinct styles and personalities that Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie can mix and match to great effect." --Karen Campbell, Boston Herald DON QUIXOTE "Choreographic fireworks!" --Newsday "ABT'S Don Quixote blazes!" --Jennie Schulman, Backstage FOKINE CELEBRATION "Here is Fokine at his theatrical best." --The Washington Times
"Splendid choreography, splendidly danced!" --Jack Anderson, The New York Times GISELLE "To see American Ballet Theatre at its best is to see it in Giselle. This production glows with dramatic life and finely nuanced acting that illuminates ABT's virtuoso dancing!" -- The New York Times "Though it is more than 150 years old, the two-act Romantic ballet Giselle can still entrance… Giselle remains a stunner, with showy choreography and a mythical story." --Ann Holmes, Houston Chronicle
LE CORSAIRE "American Ballet Theatre's Le Corsaire is just downright giddy fun. This swashbuckling ballet has it all: bravura dancing, spirited work for the corps de ballet, romance, betrayal, murder – even a shipwreck." --Pia Nordlinger, The New York Sun "Crammed with many spectacular dancing roles... [a] showcase for ABT's virtuosity in depth [and] a funny, charming ballet... choreography is a mix of pure Petipa classicism… and later Soviet razzamatazz, especially for the male dancers." --Clive Barnes, New York Post RAYMONDA "This Raymonda is a visual feast, with a richness to the corps scenes, stunning costumes and sets, and dynamic bravura dancing. Raymonda endures because of its glorious ballet score by Glazunov and Petipa's cornucopia of high-style classical choreography. A delight!" --Anna Kisselgoff, The New York Times "ABT's new production of Raymonda is a dream-like spectacle filled with the kind of virtuoso dancing that inspires fanaticism. Raymonda has assumed its rightful place among the blockbusters. This brilliant new staging is a company milestone." -- The Star-Ledger SWAN LAKE "[ABT's Swan Lake]... Glides to the forefront of stagings all over the world. The fabled lake of the swans has risen into view, inspiring awe for its mystery and magic." --The Wall Street Journal "This Swan Lake is a blockbuster production. With sets and costumes that evoke a rich Renaissance court at a lakeside castle, its sheer opera-house spectacle is a hit." --The New York Times TCHAIKOVSKY SPECTACULAR "Judging from the crowds that American Ballet Theatre's all-Tchaikovsky program have been drawing, the composer and ballet are as delectable a combination as caviar and champagne." --Jennie Schulman, Backstage "American Ballet Theatre's Tchaikovsky Spectacular is a feast of dancers." --Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times

Many in Boston with Northland connections describe shock after Monday's explosions
Some were close enough to see it. Others could hear it a few blocks away. Even those in Cambridge, the next town over across the river, were affected by it.By: Kevin Pates and Mike Creger, Duluth News Tribune
Some were close enough to see it. Others could hear it a few blocks away. Even those in Cambridge, the next town over across the river, were affected by it.
Like thousands of others in Boston, those with Northland connections experienced firsthand the trauma of the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
"I saw it happen," Leah Pustovar, 28, a 2002 Duluth Marshall graduate now living in Stillwater, Minn., told the News Tribune.
"I happened to be looking back and saw the first explosion go off. In less than 30 seconds, I saw the second one. I saw the huge cloud of gray smoke from both of them."
Pustovar, who has run 12 marathons, had crossed the finish line just minutes before the first bomb detonated.
She was collecting her finisher's medal and warm-up clothing, when the first blast occurred, Pustovar said.
"It was loud. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. It wasn't normal."
Pustovar's father, Duluth's Tom Pustovar, and sister, Gina Hennen of White Bear Lake, Minn., had been just across the street from where the explosions occurred, Leah Pustovar said. But they had walked about a block away before the explosions happened.
After the race, the three had been texting each other to try to find a meeting place.
"I called them as soon as I could," she said — and her father answered, much to her relief. "Oh, my gosh. It was the best thing ever."
Video of the explosions:
Duluth's Patty Wheeler already had been through an emotional morning, watching her daughter, two-time U.S. Olympian Kara Goucher, run in her third Boston Marathon.
After the race, the pair and other family members went to the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel, less than a half-block from the finish line. They were having lunch when two bombs went off — "like a huge cannon," Wheeler said.
"We just all looked at each other. We knew this was not a good thing. I don't even have words for what we felt."
Goucher had placed sixth in the women's race in 2:28:11, finishing at about noon. The simultaneous explosions occurred just before 3 p.m.
"We immediately went to our (hotel room) window, but it looks out onto a side street and we didn't really see what had happened," said Wheeler.
Also in Boston is Goucher's sister, Kelly Grgas Wheeler of Duluth, and Goucher's husband, Adam, and son, Colt, 2½.
Wheeler was the only one of the group in a mood to talk of the afternoon's events.
Grgas Wheeler, a Minnesota Duluth assistant women's soccer coach, said in a statement:
"When the bombs exploded, it shook the building and was so loud that we knew instantly something had happened that wasn't normal. Our hotel is extremely secure and went into lockdown (with) no one in or out. The scene outside our hotel is weird and surreal.
"Kara is heartbroken. We are thankful, so very thankful we were all together when it happened. We are also so grateful for all the concern for our entire family."
Alyza Bohbot grew up in Duluth and attends graduate school in Boston. She was walking out of the Lenox Hotel, a block away from one of the explosions, to meet a friend but went the wrong way, she said. Walking the other way would have taken her toward the bombings.
"We felt the ground shake," she said after walking 20 minutes home to South Boston. "There was tons of smoke, people running and crying."
She returned to the hotel, which had gone into lockdown. She said people were told to not use their cell phones because it could be misconstrued as an activator for a bomb.
Deb Schroeder of Duluth watched her son, Doug, of St. Paul, on the sidelines of the race. They were two blocks from the finish line at a restaurant when they heard the explosion.
"It's a good thing he's fast," Schroeder said of her son finishing well before the four-hour mark when the explosions occurred.
She said they knew something was wrong when they started receiving texts from Minnesota asking if they were OK while people rushed down the street.
"All you heard were sirens," she said of the scenes around Boston.
Duluth's Rebecca Peterson was beat after making her second-best time running her 25th marathon and fourth Boston. She phoned her husband and told him she wasn't going to the family meeting area, but to meet her in the Boston Common with their two children.
"That was a little lucky for us," she said.
The family slowly learned what happened as they walked a few miles to their hotel in Cambridge. What should have been a celebration of Peterson's good run was lost in the tragic news.
"It deflates the accomplishment," she said.
As Kari Robertson of Duluth stood less than a mile from the finish line, she remarked to another spectator how safe she felt in a big city.
But less than an hour later, after walking a mile to her room at the Millennium Hotel, she and her husband, Gregg, who ran the race, heard the news.
"It was so surreal," Kari Robertson said. "I got to the course at 7:30 this morning and there were so many police, on bikes, walking with dogs. I had never seen so many police. You just felt so safe. And then this happened."
Gregg Robertson, 43, did his first Boston Marathon in 2:49:59. After getting to the finish line, about 1 p.m., he collected his warm-up clothes and talked for about a half hour and didn't hear the explosions.
"With so many large buildings, the sound was probably muffled. When we first heard about a bombing, we thought it had to do with North Korea," he said.
Kari added: "Now all we've heard are sirens. Nothing but sirens, and you just feel so scared, and feel so bad for those who were involved."
Glen and Audra Flanagan of Duluth are renting an apartment this week in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood. Part of the trip included Glen, 40, running his second marathon. He finished about an hour before the bombs exploded.
He figured to stay in the finish line area for a while to congratulate fellow runners. But cool temperatures led the couple to decide to walk the three-quarters of a mile back to their apartment, where they learned what happened while getting phone calls and texts from friends.
"We watched on TV and thought, 'I could've been there.' I had just been there. We were shocked," said Glen Flanagan, a National Guard Master Sergeant with Duluth's 148th Fighter Wing.
"When we were out walking the last couple of days, the attitude of the people who live here couldn't have been more friendly," said Audra Flanagan. "Going out (Monday) afternoon, you could feel things had changed. Everyone is in shock. You could see it in their eyes."
Warren and Betty Mlaker of Cook got word from their daughter, Megan, that she was OK.
Betty Mlaker said the Duluth woman crossed the finish line about an hour before the explosions occurred. Her mother's voice cracked thinking about what she is going through.
"Horrible, horrible," she said. "It's chaos. It's such a once-in-a-lifetime event and then to have this happen."
From Cambridge, Mass., Harvard student Caitlin Pendleton of Superior wrote: "Harvard Yard is on lockdown and there are bomb threats by the Harvard Kennedy School and Institute of Politics (which are both being evacuated right now) — 'panic' is the most relevant word."
Evening classes were canceled at the university, Pendleton and fellow student Garrett Maron of Duluth reported.
Bauer LeSavage of Duluth is a student at Boston University, which fronts the final leg of the race.
"I am in my dorm at Boston University, which is right near Kenmore Square," LeSavage wrote. "The university has sent out many alerts telling everyone to get back to their dorms to be safe, and we are waiting on more information."
Not long after the explosions, Duluth runner Dave Antonson posted on his Facebook page: "Everybody who is lookn for me, I'm in Boston and okay. My text messages aren't sending. Hope the best for all the runners and fans."
He later told the News Tribune he was a block over on Newbury Street, about three blocks from the finish line.
"I was walking back to Hereford Street to cheer for my cousin. I heard the first explosion and knew something was wrong. After the second explosion, I saw people running and smoke rise over the buildings and in the street," he said.
"It was a chaotic scene, more than one would ever want to imagine. The Boston Police Department and medical professionals are amazing as I watched them race to the scene."
Like Antonson, David Beeksma of Ashland also posted a Facebook message to his friends.
"I need to tag that we are safe. Joe Zant, Kathy Fagin Beeksma, Joyce Beeksma safe and sound and just heartbroken for those impacted. Sucks!"
Later, Beeksma wrote the News Tribune:
"Myself and another runner from Ashland (Northland College), Joe Zant, were not there when all of this happened. We had left, took the subway to another part of town for food and when we had finished eating we went to get back on the subway and found we were not allowed and were told that something bad had happened.
"We had to walk about three miles to our car and really had no idea what was going on but we heard sirens all over the place and emergency vehicles racing through town," he continued. "Once we got to our car and began to drive out of town we were able to get the news and the scope of the situation on the radio.
"Up until this tragedy, it was a perfect day. Such a wonderful event that celebrates human love and care for each other. It was a great day until this happened. We are sickened and heartbroken thinking about those who were impacted by this."
Marshall School graduate KJ Reich said she was about a mile and a half away from the explosion at the research facility associated with Massachusetts General Hospital, where she works.
"I heard the sirens of several ambulances arriving at the ER at once. This is somewhat unusual to see so many at one time," she said. "That's when I started to receive texts from family out of town. And I discovered on Facebook what had happened.
"I walked down Cambridge Street in front of the hospital. I passed several marathon runners who appeared to be somewhere on the spectrum between fatigued and a little shaken to completely shell-shocked."
Duluth City Attorney Gunnar Johnson said runner and assistant city attorney Steve Hanke told him he was safe.
News Tribune staff members Sam Cook, Jana Hollingsworth, Robin Washington and Georgia Swing contributed to this report.

Teaching Dogs to "Back Up"
It's more than just a cute trick
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
For our dog Bobby, I simply use "Backup Bobby" - I've not had to use it too often, however he still remembers it when needed. I live in an apartment with my Lab-mix, "Get Back" is used at least once a day. When visiting my elderly parents, who use walkers, this has been an invaluable command. We taught our 3 year old heeler/Aussie mix to "back" pretty easily. But our 7-month old heeler/terrier mix is a jumper! She jumps up at the treat (and jumps backwards if we are are stepping toward her!). Do you have any suggestions for helping her to STEP back? Thanks! More From The BarkMore in Karen B. London: |

Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate triggers Ca release from brain microsomes
Current Biology, Volume 9, Issue 14, 15 July 1999, Pages 751-754
Judit Bak, Peter White, György Timár, Ludwig Missiaen, Armando A. Genazzani and Antony Galione
SummaryMobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores is an important mechanism for generating cytoplasmic Ca2+ signals [[1]]. Two families of intracellular Ca2+-release channels – the inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors and the ryanodine receptors (RyRs) – have been described in mammalian tissues [[2]]. Recently, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP), a molecule derived from NADP+ , has been shown to trigger Ca2+ release from intracellular stores in invertebrate eggs [[3–6]] and pancreatic acinar cells [[7]]. The nature of NAADP-induced Ca2+ release is unknown but it is clearly distinct from the IP3- and cyclic ADP ribose (cADPR)-sensitive mechanisms in eggs (reviewed in [[8,9]]). Furthermore, mammalian cells can synthesize and degrade NAADP, suggesting that NAADP-induced Ca2+ release may be widespread and thus contribute to the complexity of Ca2+ signalling [[10,11]]. Here, we show for the first time that NAADP evokes Ca2+ release from rat brain microsomes by a mechanism that is distinct from those sensitive to IP3 or cADPR, and has a remarkably similar pharmacology to the action of NAADP in sea urchin eggs [[12]]. Membranes prepared from the same rat brain tissues are able to support the synthesis and degradation of NAADP. We therefore suggest that NAADP-mediated Ca2+ signalling could play an important role in neuronal Ca2+ signalling.

SummaryNicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP, 1) is the most potent intracellular Ca2+ mobilizing agent in important mammalian cells and tissues, yet the identity of the NAADP receptor is elusive. Significantly, the coenzyme NADP is completely inactive in this respect. Current studies are restricted by the paucity of any chemical probes beyond NAADP itself, and importantly, none is cell permeant. We report simple nicotinic acid-derived pyridinium analogs as low molecular weight compounds that (1) inhibit Ca2+ release via the NAADP receptor (IC50 ∼15μM – 1 mM), (2) compete with NAADP binding, (3) cross the cell membrane of sea urchin eggs to inhibit NAADP-evoked Ca2+ release, and (4) selectively ablate NAADP-dependent Ca2+ oscillations induced by the external gastric peptide hormone agonist cholecystokinin (CCK) in murine pancreatic acinar cells.

Calcium and fertilization: the beginning of life
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Volume 29, Issue 8, 1 August 2004, Pages 400-408
Luigia Santella, Dmitri Lim and Francesco Moccia
AbstractThe explosive increase in Ca2+ that occurs in the cytosol at fertilization is brought about by the activation of Ca2+-release channels in the intracellular stores. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) is traditionally considered to be the messenger that initiates the increase and spreading of the activating Ca2+ wave. In line with this hypothesis, recent evidence suggests that the penetrating sperm delivers into mammalian eggs a novel isoform of phospholipase C (PLC), which promotes the formation of InsP3. By contrast, data from echinoderms studies indicate that the newly discovered second messenger nicotinic adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) promotes an initial, localized increase in Ca2+, which is then followed by the InsP3-mediated globalization of the Ca2+ wave. The mechanism by which the interacting sperm triggers the production of NAADP and subsequently that of InsP3 remains obscure.

Coordination of Ca2+ signalling by NAADP
Sandip Patel , Grant C. Churchill and Antony Galione
Dept of Pharmacology, University of Oxford, Mansfield Road, Oxford, UK OX1 3QT
Nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) mobilizes intracellular Ca2+ stores in several cell types. Ample evidence suggests that NAADP activates intracellular Ca2+ channels distinct from those that are sensitive to inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine/cyclic ADP-ribose. Recent studies in intact cells have demonstrated functional coupling ('channel chatter') between Ca2+ release pathways mediated by NAADP, inositol trisphosphate and cyclic ADP-ribose. Thus, NAADP is probably an important determinant in shaping cytosolic Ca2+ signals.

Article ID: 931708 - View products that this article applies to. SYMPTOMSYou create a Compact Disk File System (CDFS)-based Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) image to start the installation of Windows Vista. However, when you try to start the computer by using this image, the computer does not start. Therefore, you cannot use this image to install Windows Vista. You experience this problem if you use a tool other than one of the following tools to create the image file:
CAUSEThis problem occurs because the ETFSBOOT.COM program does not handle file versions according to the International Standards Organization (ISO) 9660 specification. Note The ETFSBOOT.COM program creates the CD boot sector. The ISO 9660 specification instructs that a name for a file record should consist of the file name that is followed by the file version. Also, the specification instructs that you must separate the file name and the file version by a semicolon. For example, the following file record is valid: FileName;1 The Windows PE file system driver handles the file version as an option. However, the ETFSBOOT.COM program cannot locate the Setupldr.bin/Bootmgr file if you use a file version.Note The CDimage.exe program does not append a file version to a file name in a file record. Therefore, if you use a program other than CDimage.exe or OSCDimg.exe to create the CDFS image file, the computer does not start from the image. WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, use the Universal Disc File System (UDFS) to create the image file. The UDFS does not use a file version together with the file name in a file record. Note Do not specify a file version when you create the CDFS-based image. STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. MORE INFORMATIONFor more information about how to create a CD image, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa460091.aspx

Designed to help you take beautiful images in a close up angle or low angle, the Slik MINI II is a lightweight and versatile minipod. Hailing from the compact series of tripods from Slik, this camera trivet is ideal for use with digital SLR, digital compact and video cameras.
Weighing only 320 g, the tripod barely occupies any space in your back pack and hence is extremely portable for everyday usage. The in-built Single Bubble Level of the Slik MINI II offers great assistance in making sure that the trivet is levelled in the front, sides and back to help achieve sharp and crystal clear images.
On folding the Slik MINI II camera trivet it measures a length of 204 mm. To aid more flexibility while panning the camera from different angles, this tripod comes with a maximum operating height of 220 mm and can be minimized to an operating height of 204 mm. In addition to this, the 2 legged sections of the tripod from Slik facilitate enhanced stability of the camera or camcorder. Be it a rough, slippery or uneven terrain, the integrated rubber legged tip of the Slik MINI II tripod grips on firmly to the ground and thus allows you to save time while setting it up.
The diameter of the first upper leg of the Slik MINI II trivet is 20 mm. With the built-in 2 way pan head you could pan or tilt the mounted camera. Besides this, you could also mount and remove the equipment with ease by loosening and tightening the screw in the head portion of this trivet. Suitable for detailed photography, this apparatus prevents the camera from wobbling and makes provision for consistent elevation. The Slik MINI II tripod also ensures hands-free and smooth usage.
Made for convenience, the Slik MINI II camera tripod is embedded with a center column. While shooting images or capturing videos you may want to fine-tune the height to highlight the image in the frame or you may want to adjust the angle of shooting. This is achieved with the help of the center column and can be extended to a maximum height of up to 46 mm.
The infinite leg pipe of this compact Slik MINI II trivet comprises of a Speed Release Lock which securely holds the equipment in place and prevents it from spinning around during the panning process. Simple and easy to handle, this Slik MINI II trivet is a smart choice for all photography enthusiasts.

I am going to keep it simple and short.
It is perfect for the purpose it is intended to serve. Great for low angle photography (specially if you frequently use a wide lens like I do). Due to its size, it can be even steadied on the chest and used for low shutter shots or macro shots. I have tried this and it is really effective in steadying the hands. Its very light-weight and can be carried very easily everywhere. I have been using this for nearly 20 days on a regular basis and I think its really a wonderful tripod to have.
The only thing I found lacking was that there is no quick release plate. But luckily, instead of twisting the entire pod or the camera to tighten it, the manufacturers have cleverly placed a screw below the plate which can be tightened to fix the camera. Its very stable and only at times I found the quick release to be lacking. Also the head moves in two axes only, horizontal and vertical. There is no oblique movement and that makes its a bit cramped at times.
Overall, I am very happy with the tripod. For the price and for the purpose I am using it, it is perhaps the best buy. Rest is on your needs and budget!
First of all, Thanks Flipkart for the product and service.
I am a freelance photographer and was searching for an economical low hight tripod for some desired angles ans product photography and i landed on this product.
Light n Handy
easy to carry
good built quality.
Sometimes not good for heavy load
Quick shoe cant be removed.
No Steering handle.(its available on higher version)
I bought this product from Flipkart and it was delivered to me on time..Good Job once again.
The product is not very sturdy. and the suction base on the tripod is of no use. The legs does not take much weight and keeps opening up as there is no locking mechanism.
It was a waste of money.
Slik Mini II is a very small sized tripod. I bought this hoping that it would fit my small camera bag (Vanguard BIIN 37)and amazingly it fitted in that bags upper compartment quite easily. Mind you, Vanguard BIIN 37 is a tiny little camera bag.
This tripod is very well built too. It looks quite solid and stable with the camera weight on it.
Perfect tripod for me, exactly what I was looking for. Easy to carry..
This is a very good tripod for low height photography. It is compatible with digital camera as well as SLR camera. It can hold SLR with telephoto zoom lenses. Due to its size we can carry it anywhere easily. Moreover the Tripod is excellent.
Flipkart delivery as well as packing was very good. Moreover Flipkart packing is best comparable to others.

Not every guy is going to feel comfortable running around in a belted tie dye sarong. But if on a safari/beach vacation, that might be a different story. Michael Kors' spring 2012 collection had a very safari/desert heat feel to it. The whole collection conjured thoughts of exotic locations and vacations.

The house runs off solar power and is just over 2,400-sq feet, with 2 baths, 4 bedrooms and a loft, in addition to kitchen, pantry, safe room and an additional 800-sq ft garage. It is made of steel-reinforced concrete and its dome structure is designed to withstand earthquakes of up to a magnitude of at least 7.0, as well as just about any other disaster - natural or otherwise. The rock exterior is artificial and fire-resistant and the house has a Luwa air filter that is capable of filtering out war chemicals, all known viruses, all known bacteriological agents, radioactive fallout, and even smoke from a forest fire.
Inside, it needs a little design work, but the appliances are up-to-date and energy efficient. The house is on a 4.3 acre parcel and is offered for sale for $495,000.
As part of the home's security, the exact location will only be revealed to "serious, pre-screened, and financially pre-qualified prospective buyers at an appropriate time." Hopefully, that time is sometime before move-in.
[via Born Rich]
The house and its 4.3 acre parcel are currently offered at only $475,000 ($20,000 below appraised value). Or $495,000 for the house with a 4.38 acre boundary adjusted parcel. The adjoining vacant 3 acre parcel is also for sale.

Dunbar's Carol Lemon is the winner of the Gazette Gridiron Gold Mine contest for Week 12.
Lemon's entry was one of two that correctly predicted 12 of the 15 possible games. Her tiebreaker prediction of 53 total points between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints was the closest without going over the game's actual total of 58 points.
She receives $75 and is entered into the season-ending Gold Mine Championship.
