- Why spend the money?laurieDined on 8/27/2014My husband, daughter and I went for a quick meal at the the Fig and Olive and $250 later, we were scratching our heads. The food was very good and the service was decent....the prices were so out of line for this restaurant, we will never go back. Having dined at many, many restaurants in NYC, we are accustomed to overpaying for our meals but this nondescript, cramped neighborhood restaurant did not fit the bill.
- ExcellentDG57Dined on 8/25/2014Brilliant little basement restaurant. Really imaginative menu and friendly staff. A great buzz even midweekSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- great food!magiDined on 8/13/2014I went here during restaurant week and the food was amazing. Everything was very delicious, I had all of the veggie options while my friend had the steak, and no complaints about anything we ate. It did feel a bit rushed but I think that might have been because of restuarant week.Special Features:
- NICE SURPRISEBUDDYRDined on 8/13/2014THE FOOD WAS LOVELY...PLENTIFUL...ATTRACTIVE. WELL-SEASONED. SERVICE WAS ATTENTIVE, POLITE, CHARMING. A NICE EXPERIENCE OVERALL--AND I WILL FRETURN.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cute DessertShineDined on 8/13/2014The place is not so big, but the environment was really nice. Service was good, but it really took us a long time to wait for our dessert. The main course was not so outstanding, but the appetizer was worth trying. The DESSERT was tiny, and really CUTE!!!! Small biscuits with strawberry had good sweet taste, and the chocolate cream was sweet as well.Special Features:
- restaurant weekiheartfoodDined on 8/8/2014Came here with a friend for restaurant week and overall we loved it. Wine list is pricey, with not a bottle under $40-$50. My only gripe besides that would be the inconsistency of the portions. My friend's filet mignon was noticeably larger than my serving. What are they trying to say?? But other than that, everything was delicious and the service was fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Each course was full of flavor.KimbellaDined on 8/8/2014Each course was full of flavor. It is best for a late lunch at 2 or 2 : 30 pm if you want quiet. Prompt and attentive service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Mediocore foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/6/2014The Gazpacho was just okay. The crostini with fig and caramelized onion was too sweet. It was overpowering. The olive oils are amazing! Highly recommend the olive oils.Special Features:
- EHarlemFoodieDined on 8/5/2014F & O as i call it, its great for dates and i found the UES location much more intimate that others i have been to. My server was the worst i have experienced at F & O, but that's easy to say when service is usually impeccable. My petite filet mignon was a little dry, but overall the food and definitely the ambiance deserves its praise. The truffle mushrooms were AMAZING btw!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food & ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/5/2014The food at Fig and Olive Uptown was great and the service is impeccable. Not once did I have to make a request that my glass be filled with water, nor call the waiter over for anything, which allowed me to fully engage in a conversation with my guest. The servings are pretty small, however I was completely filled at the end of a 3 course meal. I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom risotto and serving of thyme infused bread with 3 different olive oils. My entire dining experience was wonderful and I would happily go again; plus the proximity to Bloomingdales makes the location priceless.Special Features:
- LizBDined on 8/4/2014Great service with knowledgable servers. Slow to seat even with a reservation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice place for dinnerDhahran1980Dined on 8/4/2014My wife and I ate at Fig & Olive during restaurant week in August 2014. My lobster bisque was quite good, but the entree of filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and asparagus was only slightly better than average. The potatoes were dry and unappetizing, and the filet was not as tender as expected for that cut of meat. My wife's meal of gazpacho and salmon was very good, however. The dessert, a chocolate pot de creme, was excellent and the highlight of the meal. The service was also quite good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- found new balsamic vinegar spotbuzzDined on 8/4/2014We enjoyed our restaurant week specials very much. The coffee, wine, and one soda was expensive, however making the lunch about $90 for two. Loved the balsamic vinegar and bought a bottle which is so much better than others we have had.Special Features:
- Ótima surpresajj2jDined on 8/3/2014Eu e minha esposa nunca tínhamos ido no Fig and Olive. Ao chegarmos fomos acomodados com presteza e cordialidade. Além do serviço irreprovavel, a comida veio além de nossa expectativa, apesar de estarmos aproveitando a Restaurant Week, com menu restrito, mas extremamente equilibrado e capaz de satisfazer todos os paladares. Certamente voltaremos a este restaurante em nossa próxima estadia em NYC.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Phenomenal RestaurantDrewNJVIPDined on 8/2/2014This place is fantastic. Food selection is very good and ambiance is very nice.Special Features:
- noisy, slow service, overpricedLizzyDined on 8/1/2014Friday night overcrowded not properly air conditioned place. Seats are on top of each other Very uncomfortable , NO ambiance very noisy you cannot have a normal conversation with your partner. Overpriced The service was extremely slow after one hour of sitting there we had to ask for a little bread with olive oil bc we were so hungry There is no ambiance the place was so hot that I almost fainted sitting there Food is ok but very overpriced one glass of wine is $14.00 altogether would not aggravate myself to go back
- GreatDanNYDined on 8/1/2014was there for restaurant week. food was great nice service. definitely will go there againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/31/2014The crostini are all amazing as well as the rest of the appetizers. They have a nice modern twist on classic Italian dishes, but the thing that shines for me was the seafood options. The raviolis are great as well and hot dishes come out on hot plates which is a plus for enjoying your food hot while taking your time. The atmosphere is energetic and the long shared table and bar seats help to connect all guests and it feels as if everyone is dining together. The service is also fantastic. Overall its a great place for a memorable dinner.Special Features:
- JockDined on 7/31/2014The food of overall good. Great ambience. Waitress was extremely attentive and quick. They pay close attention to their guests. Paella was seasoned well but the seafood was overcooked. My fault, I should have chosen another dish because I know great Paella from other countries. The dessert was fabulous. Highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- kdhatsDined on 7/31/2014Great over all experience. I love restaurant week otherwise it was just another passing restaurant. Presentation of the food was clean and neat. The entre was hot and perfect. A mouth watering experience of the taste buds.Special Features:
- One of the best meals I've ever hadPuddingBlarghenhousenDined on 7/30/2014I cannot say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere was so comfortable and lively; wonderful energy from the patrons and the staff. Service was very attentive and the servers knew their food. We never reached the bottom of our water glasses. I absolutely loved this place. This was upscale casual dining at its finest. The food was phenomenal. Truly one of the best meals I have ever had. Very rarely do I ever enjoy every item our party orders. We like to get different things and share. Every item was delicious. The gazpacho was creamy and succulent. The chicken tagine was so packed with flavor. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The rosemary lamb chops were to die for. The desserts were so decadent and rich in taste.Special Features:
- joeyDined on 7/30/2014great food, good vibe. this is a great casual place to go near bloomingdales. hard to find casual easy places with good ambience/food around there. this is itSpecial Features:
- Good lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/29/2014Very nice lunch but sat very close to kitchen and then restaurant emptied so could have had a nicer table as had booked and called ahead to confirm a table but waiter did bring a candle in dessert for my friends birthday which was niceSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tighter quarters than 5th aveSoringtimeDined on 7/28/2014Dodd was excellent. Wine superb. Noisy. Very noisy, very tight. Much smaller location that 5th aveI would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dealOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/24/2014Went for restaurant week and the menu options were a really good deal (unlike many restaurants that give you food not worth the prix fixe price). Our group of 3 ordered 6 crostinis (highly recommended!). Two got the fig and olive salad that they said was good, and I got the salmon tartare which was nothing special, but good enough. Then one got the salmon which she finished, one got the lamb which he finished, and I got the risotto which was stellar. All were good. Dessert options are nothing exciting but a good ending to the meal. Overall it's a great vibe, a solid menu with something for everyone, and fantastic service. Our water was always full!Special Features:
- Excellent foodjayne8787Dined on 7/24/2014We had an amazing dinner, my cousin is vegetarian and enjoyed everything. Tables a little clos together, next time i'd for the center bar? Overall excellentSpecial Features:
- DeliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/23/2014We came for restaurant week which is always hit or miss - they did a wonderful job of offering a nice selection of their menu and portion sizes were not too small which most restaurants tend to skimp on during rest. week. Everyone was very happy with their meal. We'll be back! Only reason I gave four stars was we had an 830 reservation and did not get seated until 850, we didn't mind but other diners may.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- restaurant weekOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/23/2014I've been here before and it's great. I also just went on restaurant week and the service was too fast, as if everything was premade. I wanted to have a wine and dine experience, but I had my appetizer, entree and dessert within 45 minutes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always reliableOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 7/22/2014Food is top notch. Fresh .well, seasoned. Light and interesting. Their truffled mushroom soup is to die for. Homemade bread and croutons. Their olive oil. Love the tuna tartar. Excellent service and management. Make sure to buy their truffle oil to take home.Special Features:
- Great service, Okay foodSmangeeDined on 7/21/2014To be honest, I was expecting a lot when I went to this restaurant. I wouldn't say that I was disappointed, but I think the food could have been presented better. The service was outstanding and I very much enjoyed the olive oil tasting to start. Thanks, Fig & Olive!Special Features:
- Surprised!Maritzag23Dined on 7/21/2014Worked 2 blocks from fig and olive for 7 years and have never eaten there. We decided to try something different and took our co worker their for her birthday - she too had never been but always wanted too- the food was delicious, the staff was very friendly - overall a great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Resturant Week LunchDazzel1718Dined on 7/21/2014Worked in the area for six years and always wanted to stop in. Decided to have lunch here during restaurant week. The food was amazing. Everything had great flavor. Restaurant was packed around 12:30pm and the appetizers took a little while to come out but other than that, all was well. I had the red quinoa salad, shrimp penne pasta.Special Features:
- Fig and OliveNinaDined on 7/21/2014We enjoyed our lunch very much. The menu was most interesting and much broader than is usual for Restaurant Week. We were unsure of our number of guests, and that guest changed her mind about coming more than once, but our servers were very patient with the changes. I will be happy to return there at any time.Special Features:
- Breakneck speedSoNotSiggyDined on 7/18/2014I dined with two friends at a 7 pm reservation. The food was good (as always), but I was surprised by the pushiness of the waitstaff to get our order and push us along at breakneck speed. I have dined here several times before, and never felt rushed. This was new. All three of us ordered appetizers and they cleared my friends plates from the table before I finished mine - this is horribly rude and unprofessional for what is considered a well run dining establishment.
- Just perfect!JessyjessyjessyVIPDined on 7/16/2014I always take my clients to fig and olive for a perfect lunch. Food is outstanding, as is the service- impeccable!Special Features:
- fijiVIPDined on 7/13/2014What we had was ok, but neither of thought we need to return unless we are in the neighborhood and need a quick dinner. My crab and tomato appetizer was quite good, but the paella we both had (although good) was more like risotto. And chintzy: 2 shrimp and 4 mussels, one of which did not open but they served it to me anyway. MehI would recommend this to a friend.

Burglar who stole Christmas cash from pensioner jailed (From Worcester News)

Man broke into Ledbury woman's home and stole cash while she watched TV
10:41am Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Tarik Al Rasheed
A MAN who sneaked into a pensioner's home and stole Christmas cash from her bedroom while she watched TV has been jailed.
Richard Davis, aged 30, of Barnett Avenue, in Ledbury, admitted breaking into the woman's Ledbury home and stealing £240 from a tin in her bedroom.
He was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court on Monday.
The victim, a woman in her 90s, was in her lounge when she heard a noise upstairs. She then saw a man run past her and realised afterwards that the cash - which she had set aside for Christmas presents - had been taken.
Det Sgt Tim Dugmore, from Hereford CID, said police had been able to reimburse the money from their PC Fund as the victim had no other means or income to replace it.
"We were able to reimburse her this money before Christmas, which meant that she could enjoy the festive period and buy presents for people as she had intended," he said.
He added: "We are satisfied with the sentence handed to Davis and hope it sends a clear message to others who think it's ok to sneak into people's homes and steal from them, that we will do everything in our power to catch and prosecute burglars.
"Burglaries have a long lasting impact on the victims and we take these offences extremely seriously."

Hi, All!
I'm still new to this site so I hope I'm not violating any rules. But new authors are like new moms in many ways, so I'm still at the "lookit my baby!" stage. In this case, my baby is my debut sci fi novel, 'Home World', published by Promontory Press. The book went live on Amazon on 10/2 & now has 4 5-star reviews - ALL of them honest, unpaid reviews. Yea! Please do check the novel out! Here's the blurb:
Home World is a love story set within a thrilling world of interstellar political intrigue. Centuries ago, the combat-engineered humans called Lupans very nearly destroyed Earth. What they left of Earth - Home World to the star-flung Commonwealth she founded - is now little more than a dusty tourist world ruled by the Great Family Van Buren.
Strolling the ruins of once-beautiful Waikiki, Jezekiah Van Buren dreams of making his one fantasy come true: to escape the Ring that condemns him to be the next Lord High Protector of Earth - Home World to the other worlds of the human Commonwealth. All he wants is the freedom to be his own man, to know real friendship; to build a life with a woman who loves him rather than the political advantage he represents. Never one to shy away from action, Jezekiah embarks on an adventure that could end life not just on Earth, but on all the worlds of the Commonwealth.
Ingenious even by the standards of the genetically enhanced Great Family Van Buren, Jezekiah was bred for politics and trained to rule. Now he has the achieved the impossible: he has arranged a treaty that will convert Earth's ancient enemies, the Lupans, to her most powerful allies. The treaty will make Earth rich again. Restore her to her old glory. Make her once again the dominant power in the Commonwealth she founded. What matters to Jezekiah, though, is that the treaty lets him escape the Ring. It sets him free to pursue his most thrilling discovery of all: the only woman he's ever found who sees him just for himself: the young Samurai-trained woman named Keiko Yakamoto.
To pull the treaty off, Jezekiah only has to convince his little sister Letticia to accept the hand of Strongarm, the Lupan's alpha warlord, in marriage. Trouble is, Letticia hates Lupans. She also hates Jezekiah. A tech-master par excellence, Letticia's brilliantly virulent response to Strongarm's proposal threatens not just the treaty, but the existence of life on Earth itself.
Somehow, Jezekiah has to win Letticia over before she manages to trigger another devastating Lupan-Commonwealth war. Before, too, the assassin she's put on his tail succeeds in killing him. Or the interstellar crime ring called Ho Tong succeeds in raising another rebellion. Or his ruling relatives on competing worlds manage to execute him for treason.
But Jezekiah's not the only man with a life-or-death stake in the treaty. When the Lupan warlord Strongarm turns up on Earth unannounced, he touches off suspicions and recriminations that sends bloody red echoes across the vast reaches of space. Only an even greater danger rises once Strongarm meets Keiko Yakamoto. Even Jezekiah never imagined that Strongarm would desire the same fiery-spirited woman he wants for himself. Now, suddenly, these two most powerful men find themselves in a battle of the heart that jeopardizes everything they've staked their lives - and the lives of their worlds - on: the love of a woman who just may be the most deadly assassin of them all.
Whether you enjoy science fiction romance, adventure, or just a good old space opera, Home World offers a rollicking, action-packed epic with a sizeable dose of humor.

The Michigan Floral Foundation inducted Bobbi Ecker-Blatchford of Florapros in Chicago into its hall of fame on Oct. 11. She was cited as an outstanding mentor and inspiration to floral industry members at ceremonies in the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, MI.
Michigan Floral Association President Alice Waterous and Norma Chapman emceed the event and presented a video production on the life and career of Ms. Ecker-Blatchford (it can be viewed online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6DDhcAqIss&feature=youtube).
The honoree's son, Bruce Ecker, her daughter, Cyndi Campbell, her uncles, John and Arthur Kurtt, and foundation Executive Vice President Rod Crittenden also made remarks. Jeanette Ballien, foundation chairman, presented the award.
Ms. Ecker-Blatchford acknowledged many of the dignitaries in the audience, including Bob Williams, Society of American Florists president, and Harrison (Red) Kennicott, an SAF past president. She closed with a favorite poem, "God spoke, and from the arid scene, sprang lush and verdant bowers. And when the earth was beautiful and green, He smiled — and there were flowers."

BURKE — A Saratoga Springs man was injured in a one-car accident here Saturday.
According to Malone-based State Police, James F. Bartoszek, 19, was traveling southwest on Route 11 at about 5 p.m., when, Bartoszek told police, he swerved to avoid hitting a dog.
Upon swerving, police said, Bartoszek's vehicle rotated 180 degrees, exited the southeast shoulder of the roadway and struck a driveway culvert, causing the vehicle to overturn multiple times.
Bartoszek, who indicated he had neck pain, was transported to Alice Hyde Medical Center in Malone for minor injuries.
No tickets were issued.

A new ruling from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission could end up costing Con Edison customers more than they might expect.
The New York Power Authority estimates that FERC's ruling will cost power users in New York $400 million to $500 million, leaving Con Ed's customers to foot $300-375 million of that bill,
according to the New York Post.
Trickling down, that means Con Ed customers throughout the five boroughs can expect to pay an average $9 more a month in electric bills starting in January.
A spokesperson for Con Ed told Patch the company has joined others in requesting a rehearing of the FERC order.
"We seek to balance the interests of all stakeholders, including customers and suppliers," a statement from the company said.

Participating in the Powerball drawing may have given you a little rush. But, for problem gamblers the lottery is a high stakes game that negatively impacts their lives.
This afternoon, many Quik Trip customers requested a Powerball ticket in addition to whatever they were buying. But, where do you draw the line between playful participation and a real problem?
A couple dollars here and a hundred there. Customers were digging deep into their pockets for the chance to win big.
"If you buy too little then you don't feel like you're trying and if you buy too much then you feel kind of silly," said Anthony Romero.
"I'm pretty sure anybody can afford to buy at least one ticket," said Nelson Soto.
"When you're buying a ticket you're still thinking maybe the next one is going to be the good one," said Catalina Christophe with Camino Real Recovery. She has been treating gambling addicts for years.
She says crossing the line from casual player to problem gambler can happen without you even noticing.
"You just go and play and all of a sudden they feel this comfort, they just forget everything."
Christophe says this differs from the action gambler, someone who needs the continual stimulation, the rush of betting it all.
"I actually used to work at a Conoco and there was a lady who bought five six hundred dollars worth of scratchers all the time, once a week every pay day," said Shawn Marshall.
While most people can recognize bad behavior, treating an addiction to ticket gambling is not easy.
"I wish that people would say I'm going to stop and not going to do it, but when you buy a little two dollars three dollars, you feel like it's not a big deal."
Christophe says the only way to fix the problem is by urging her clients to cut down.

While almost every part of a modern datacenter can be considered mission-critical, the network is the absolute foundation of all communications. That's why it must be designed and built right the first time. After all, the best servers and storage in the world can't do anything without a solid network.
To that end, here are a variety of design points and best practices to help tighten up the bottom end.
[ Get the full scoop on getting more value from your log files in the InfoWorld "Networking Deep Dive" PDF special report. | Better manage your company's information overload with our Enterprise Data Explosion newsletter. ]
Core considerations
The term "network" applies to everything from LAN to SAN to WAN. All these variations require a network core, so let's start there.
The size of the organization will determine the size and capacity of the core. In most infrastructures, the datacenter core is constructed differently from the LAN core. If we take a hypothetical network that has to serve the needs of a few hundred or a thousand users in a single building, with a datacenter in the middle, it's not uncommon to find that there are big switches in the middle and aggregation switches at the edges.
Ideally, the core is composed of two modular switching platforms that carry data from the edge over gigabit fiber, located in the same room as the server and storage infrastructure. Two gigabit fiber links to a closet of, say, 100 switch ports is sufficient for most business purposes. In the event that it's not, you're likely better off bonding multiple 1Gbit links rather than upgrading to 10G for those closets. As 10G drops in price, this will change, but for now, it's far cheaper to bond several 1Gbit ports than to add 10G capability to both the core and the edge.
In the likely event that VoIP will be deployed, it may be beneficial to implement small modular switches at the edge as well, allowing PoE (Power over Ethernet) modules to be installed in the same switch as the non-PoE ports. Alternatively, deploying trunked PoE ports to each user is also a possibility. This allows a single port to be used for VoIP and desktop access tasks.
In the familiar hub-and-spoke model, the core connects to the edge aggregation switches with at least two links, either connecting to the server infrastructure with direct copper runs or through server aggregation switches in each rack. This decision must be determined site by site, due to the distance limitations of copper cabling.

The Fall blends adventure and sidescrolling genres to present the tale of an AI-controlled combat suit following its programming to get help for its occupant.

Honestly it's kind of hard to really talk about TESO since its name is so indicative of what it is – an online version of any other Elder Scrolls game.

Gloria Pritchett
Played by Sofia Vergara
Gloria hails from a lovely little village in Colombia, which also happens to be the murder capital of that fine country. She's married to Jay, who is quite a few years older. That doesn't matter to Gloria. She loves what she loves. And she truly loves Jay and her son, Manny. That fact that she's becoming a mom again brings her great joy. Now she won't have to wait for a tragic accident to befall Mitchell and Cameron in order to become Lily's legal guardian.
Gloria is extremely passionate. She's not afraid to say exactly what's on her mind. In fact, we don't think she's afraid of anything except for maybe Jay's dog butler. Gloria truly embraces life. Guess that's why Jay fell in love with her. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's drop-dead gorgeous. Jay also loves the fact that she would jump in the pool while wearing a beautiful dress to save his beloved, buoyancy-challenged dog Stella. This just proves that Gloria will do anything for her family.
Sofía Vergara is the only Hispanic actress who started her career in a U.S. Hispanic Network and successfully crossed over to the general market. The Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG-nominated actress was recently named the newest face of CoverGirl, and is getting ready to launch a women's clothing and accessories line called 'Sofía' exclusively for Kmart. The line is available this September in all Kmart stores. She is also currently the face of Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Skinny.
Vergara can be seen in Columbia Pictures' The Smurfs, opposite Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria and George Lopez, and also recently wrapped production on 20th Century Fox's The Three Stooges, alongside Sean Hayes and Will Sasso, and Warner Bros./New Line Cinema's New Years Eve, with Jessica Biel, Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl. In addition Vergara lent her voice to the Warner Bros. picture Happy Feet 2, alongside Robin Williams, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. She got her break on the big screen in Disney's comedy, Big Trouble, and has since starred in such films as The 24th Day, Four Brother,Lords of Dogtown and Tyler Perry's box office sensations Meet the Browns and Madea Goes to Jail.
Additional television credits include Dirty Sexy Money, Entourage, Hot Properties and The Knights of Prosperity. In the Hispanic market, past TV credits include Fuera de Serie and A Que No Te Atreves, as well as her special guest appearance on 2008's highest rated Spanish language soap opera, Fuego en la Sangre, on Univision (No. 1 U.S. Hispanic network). Additionally she executive-produced the Spanish version of Desperate Housewives.The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard have named her one of the most talented and powerful women in Hispanic entertainment.
On stage, Vergara earned rave reviews when she debuted on Broadway's Chicago as Mama Morton.
In 2001 Vergara created Peace and Hope for the Children of Colombia, a charity foundation that has helped thousands of children in her country, and she has donated a pediatric cancer pavilion in her native Barranquilla.

NEW ORLEANS, LA (WVUE) - Losing weight is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions.
Many New Orleans area residents - like Amanda Borst - are back at the gym trying to work off the extra pounds gained over the holidays.
"I did pies, cake rolls and the stuffing that comes with the turkey, " said Borst.
She says she felt like her eating got out of control and she picked up a few extra pounds. That is a big deal for her, because two years ago she lost 30 pounds after giving birth to her second child .
"You know where you want to be and what makes you feel good," she said. "You have to do what you have to do to stay there."
Local fitness experts say it's tough for many people to stay the course because they don't properly plan how they'll lose the weight. That's why they urge you to write down your daily strategy on how to break the bad habits that got you into bad shape.
They say the other big mistake is when people set unrealistic goals when they start working out . Fitness trainers say don't expect the weight to come off quickly.
"It is not going to happen in one day, and you have to make slow, steady progress with it," said Randy Burgard, a personal trainer at the Elmwood Fitness center.
Also, to make sure you don't get bored, you're encouraged to switch up your routine. But if that doesn't work, seek advice from a personal trainer or a nutritionist to help find what will best keep you motivated.
What you eat also helps determine if you lose the weight and keep it off. To get started, nutritionists say you should stock up on fresher food items such as veggies and fruit, and avoid foods that are higher in fat or pre-package and ready to eat.
"There's a lot of processing and sodium and extra sugar calories that you get from all that processing," said Rebecca Miller, a dietician with Ochsner's Elmwood fitness center.
Your beverages can also be too high in calories - especially alcoholic drinks. And nutritionists say you should cut back on sweet drinks like sodas, sports drinks and juices.
Also, every time you eat something, write it down and keep a log of it. That will help remind you if you're sticking to your nutritional goals. They also don't recommend starving yourself or skipping meals. They say that only slows down your metabolism and makes it harder for you to lose weight.
People trying to lose weight say it's tough but advise you to persevere.
"When it's really gray or cold and rainy and we want to stay inside, it doesn't matter. You must get yourself to the gym," said Borst.
It's that attitude that's helped her lose 30 pounds, and she's sure it will also help her shed the few she regained over the holidays.

Is this sentence correct? " Have you ever been scuba diving?"
If it's correct, is it different from " Have you ever gone scuba diving?".
Thanks in advance.
Personally, I'd say "Have you ever scuba-dived?".
Although I must admit both of your variants are OK.

ADLIB Audio and Harman Pro UK collaborated closely to design, supply and install a JBL VerTec line array system at the Isle of Man's new flagship multi-purpose venue – the Villa Marina.
The Isle of Man government's Department of Tourism & Leisure has invested £14 million into the project to restore the Villa Marina in Douglas, and turn it into the Island's premier multi-purpose venue, alongside its sister, the Gaiety Theatre.
The venue combines Edwardian splendour with contemporary thinking. The spherical Royal Hall features a 19.5 metre high domed ceiling and seats 1500 people – with easy conversion to standing or dancefloor format.
ADLIB won the competitive tender to supply the kit amidst stiff competition– which also includes several other Harman brands including BSS, Crown and Soundcraft. They project was co-ordinated by ADLIB's Andy Dockerty and Harman Pro UK's Max Lindsay-Johnson, and for the client by Steve Dawson, general manager of the Villa Marina and Gaiety Theatre Complex.
High Production Values
From the outset, the brief was to specify the right production values to put the Isle of Man on the map in attracting regular touring artists of all types – from psycho trance to tea dance – reassuring them that all they need to play the Island is to bring their backline
The system's physical aesthetics also had to match the architectural integrity of the room and maintain clear sightlines from all around the auditorium. It also needed to be equipment familiar and acceptable to visiting engineers, to reduce their set up and programming times, flexible enough to meet the demands of complex productions and configurable for speech reinforcement.
When JBL launched the mid sized VerTec system in early 2003, Steve Dawson visited the UK to hear and see it system 'in situ' for himself. Well impressed, the resulting audio tender was based around this specific sound system.
Harman did an initial site survey and constructed an acoustic model of the venue, along with a 3D wire frame model from the architects drawings. The room and enclosure data and measurements, etc. were entered into EASE, an electro-acoustic simulation environment, which came up with a set of photometrics for optimum speaker positions and a great sound. They also used JBL's line array calculation software, and the results were presented and explained to the client.
The Installation
The on-the-ground installation work was carried out by ADLIB's Marc Peers and Roger Kirby, assisted by local sound engineer Anglin Buttimore.
The main arrays are 12 VerTec 4888 elements - 6 per side - complete with two VT4887 under-hang boxes per side for front fill. Under the balcony are 12 JBL Control 30's for delay, concealed behind architectural panels in the balcony roof. Front of stage are four JBL AM6212/64 enclosures for out-fills. ADLIB Audio 281 enclosures are utilized onstage for front centre fills.
ADLIB also designed and built special custom sub bass units fitted under the stage, with two spare sub enclosures available to boost the bottom end when necessary.
The FOH console is a Soundcraft Series 5, complete with BSS Omnidrives for system control, BSS 960 EQs and a rack full of the most popular and common gates, compressors and effects including devices from TC, Lexicon, Yamaha, dbx and Drawmer.
Monitors feature the brand new ADLIB AA1515W wedges, designed by Marc Peers and ADLIB's Dave Fletcher, and containing a hybrid mix of special 15 inch and a one-and-a-half inch PD and Band C drivers – containing all the best characteristics of several other drivers. These very low profile enclosures will become the new ADLIB standard wedges over the next few months. The top end response runs flat up to 16K.
Monitors offer a choice of BSS EQ or a dbx Drive Rack system with all the remote facilities. The system is again designed to be fully flexible, complete with all cable runs hard-wired to stage. The multicore incorporates 48 inputs with patch facility and satellite boxes for remote patching.
The dbx Drive Rack 480R remote sits at the desk and allows access to all the processing and amps under-stage. The engineer can adjust the processing from the monitor position, and it's MIDI linked to the Soundcraft SM20 monitor desk, so when listening to a specific mix, the graphics are automatically put into the engineer's listening wedge. The dbx system was chosen for its facilities and cost-effectiveness ratio. The remote can also be used FOH, also enabling the EQ'ing of the monitors and access to all the graphics from there.
The air-conditioned amp room downstairs is full of Crown VZ 5002s, and the Crown XS series for the in-fills, delays, side fills and monitors. ADLIB also supplied Villa Marina with a selection of AKG microphones including the new 451 condenser mic.
ADLIB designed and built a customised fire alarm system to integrate with the main PA. Avoiding the rather brutal 'power cut' to all equipment when the alarm is triggered, here, all the returns pass through relays which receive 4 Volts and shut down the amps when the alarm goes off. This is a far more efficient and friendly way of stopping the system.
The house system will be run by technical manager Séamus Shea and Alex Davidson, who also head the technical team at the Gaiety Theatre. ADLIB engineers will spend a week training the local technical staff on all the new equipment, and will also be available for on-going support. Part of the documentation package from ADLIB also included printed and electronic versions of all the various equipment manuals and instructions.
ADLIB's sister company Adlite supplied a lighting system for the Gala opening featuring Elkie Brooks, comedian Tom O'Connor and the Manx Youth Orchestra.
The cinema element of the Villa Marina Complex also features a JBL cinema audio system, that was designed and installed by Sound Associates, consisting of a JBL 3678 Screen system and 3635 subs.

Scoutmaster Musings
2014 -
New Dutch Oven
Our troop hosted a pack of Webelos at the camporee earlier this month and their Cubmaster insisted on giving us some money. I said "no", he said "yes". I said "No", he said "Yes". I said "NO", he said "YES". Since he's a lawyer, I gave up. :-)
Anyway, I wanted to do something special with the money and the scouts have started to get more interested in dutch oven cooking, so I looked around.
Lodge has a Lewis & Clark Commemorative dutch oven out. It's an 8qt. 12inch - that means it's deeper than normal so it works great for a roast.
If you want to take advantage of my legwork, the cheapest place I found this oven was at
(I never heard of them either) and it was significantly cheaper than Lodge, REI, and other places. I was a bit nervous ordering it, but it arrived today and it is perfect! They also have the BSA Logo dutch oven and lots of others.
So, this weekend at the Scoutorama, the visiting Webelos be cooking doughnuts and chocolate chip cookies in our D.O.s - and if that doesn't convince them to join the troop, nothing will!

MYSCOUTING Almost Here
It seems like forever that there has been a 'MYSCOUTING' link on
that just goes to a "Coming Soon" page. It was going to be here in August, then September, now its October.
But, the page has finally changed! You can now access MYSCOUTING and register. Enter your email, BSA ID info, and password to create an account for yourself. You receive a confirmation email and clicking the embedded link activates your account.
That's when you get to see the MYSCOUTING menu - "E-Learning", "ReChartering", and "Advancement" - "Tour Permits" are not available yet. You'll need special codes from your council to use the ReChartering and Advancement areas.
The MYSCOUTING area really needs a lot of work. Right now, its just an entry page to a handful of non-integrated tools, each one needed a separate login with no navigational integration between them. But, at least it's moving along and we're inching closer to usable online tools to reduce the work of our precious fellow volunteers.

Kid Nation
Have you watched Kid Nation on TV yet? My youngest son and I have been studying it for the past few weeks and find it interesting.
The concept is that 40 kids aged 8 to 15 are out at a ghost town that failed, attempting to build a city with no adults. (I have no idea what parents would have their 8 year old go out on his/her own for 40 days.) They've got a few kids that have good leadership skills, a few ringers that I think were coached to be irritants, and then a lot that you never hear from.
It's getting boring now that we know every show will have a contest, a town meeting where some homesick kids might decide to go home, and one kid will get a $20,000 gold star. Other than that, it's a whole lot of bickering, squabbling, and basic self-serving child behavior - imagine that. :-)
We are kind of rooting for Mike who is a Tenderfoot scout and was one of the leaders. He got voted off the town council last week so maybe he'll get a gold star soon.
There are a few snippets that would make good clips to use in a Troop Leader Training session on leadership styles that work and don't work.

Snow Sports Extreme
The scouts are planning their December campout which will be a skiing weekend. Since moving to Minnesota from Oregon, I haven't done much downhill mostly because there aren't many hills to go down. :-(
We do have a few guys in our troop that love to ski, though. They are talking about a high adventure trip to the West Coast in 2009 and include some skiing on Mt. Hood in Oregon. I've skied on Hood in July and it was a blast!
There's a full-blown summer ski program on Hood for skiers of all ability levels, as long as they want to improve. The National Alpine Ski Camp (NASC) offers a comprehensive summer program, usually attracting 14-17 year olds, but open for skiers down to 8 years old. What a great way to spend 10 days.
Besides skiing, the NASC program includes extra activities, such as rafting, rock climbing, windsufing, and mountain biking. They've been holding sessions for over 20 years.

Cub Scout Hero
If you read Boys' Life every month like I do, you've seen a lot of Scouts in Action stories. Today, a Minnesota Cub Scout gets a medal for saving his little brother last year. Pretty cool!
In the summer of 2006, Jonah H., 10, saved his brother Micah, 3, from drowning in a family friends swimming pool. Micah jumped into the pool without a PFD and was unable to swim. Jonah called for help, swam to his brother and held his head above water until help arrived.
Jonah will be honored with a medal for his heroism tonight at the
North Star Museum of Boy Scouting and Girl Scouting
in North St. Paul. Jonah is a member of Pack 49 in Northern Star Council and lives in Maplewood.
In 2006, the Boy Scouts of America awarded 92 medals, spread across the 300 Boy Scout Councils in the country.

71 Years of Scouting in Phillipines
The Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) was established in 1936 with a mission to train youth as responsible leaders of the country that love God, their country, and fellowmen. Scouting was brought to the Phillipines in 1910 by Americans and now has more than two million members, making one of the largest Scouting organizations in the world.
BSP celebrates its birthday in October and has support of the government and especially the Department of Education. Education has weekly activities during October to help promote scouting in the schools. The activities this year support the "One World, One Promise" theme of Scouting worldwide.
As a highlight of scouting month in the Phillipines, the 14th National Jamboree will be held on Oct. 22-27 at the Philippine Scouting Center for Asia-Pacific Region, Mt. Makiling, Los Baños, Laguna. About 10,000 attendees are expected from the 109 Councils.

Philmont Packs
When I went to Philmont in 2005, we had a scraggly assortment of backpacks. We had internal and external frames. We had huge packs and practically microscopic packs. We had orange, brown, blue, red, and green packs. But, we all had full uniforms! :-)
Finding the luggage at the airport could have been a real pain, except that we had a trick up our collective sleeves. Rather than ship the backpacks and hope no straps fell off or zippers opened up, everyone bought identical duffel bags large enough to fit every backpack.
At the luggage carrousel, it was a snap to find our duffels as they came by! Plus, we had extra room for shipping back souvenirs, including the trail food I collected to show the troop what we ate for 12 days.
In case you haven't heard of them, a company called "Outdoor Products" has a range of camping gear that is inexpensive. It's a good brand for new scouts buying their first backpack or other gear - low price on gear they'll outgrow. They have a 10,600 cu. in. duffel for $23 listed on Campmor.com and other online retailers. I believe that's what we got in 2005 and the new guys'll be getting similar bags next year for the two crews we have going in June.

Try Blogging
I've had a few scouts ask me about blogging, how does it work, is it fun, does anyone read it, what value does it have, ... and so on.
For the most part, blogging is done by women. That doesn't mean it's a good way to meet girls or that guys will think you're a sissy if you blog. It means that most of the blogs are written by women. Women tend to be more open with thoughts and like to share 'stuff' openly. These blogs are most often public diaries of daily happenings, feelings, and the kind of thing that might have been written in a diary not too many years ago.
When men blog, there is usually a theme or niche for their writing. For example, I mostly write about scouting stuff. Other guys have blogs about electronic gadgets, horses, hunting, business management, stay-at-home dad, pretty much any area of interest where they can write and not get into feelings too much.
That's not to say there aren't guys with "diary" type blogs or women with "tech" blogs. It's just what you will generally see.
The reasons scouts blog are varied. Usually, it is because they feel they have a lot to say about a topic or want an avenue to express their thoughts easily and quickly. Recently, blogs have had a very strong impact on web site ranking and have even become money-making experiments.
Starting a blog is very easy, keeping a blog going can be hard work, especially when you've emptied your head of all the ideas you have on that subject.
To start a blog, you need to decide what you will write about, how it will look, what software you will use, and who you will use for your blog hosting.
Picking your topic to write about is completely up to you. It's better to keep it a broad theme in which you have ongoing interest. Writing about "electric lawnmowers" might be too narrow, but "lawn and garden" gives you more room to expand.
There are many choices for software and hosts to use. Most software packages give you a selection of page layouts and color schemes so it's easy to make your blog look the way you want.
Movable Type is a powerful publishing platform for blogs and Movable Type hosting is available through many companies. Wordpress is another blogging software that is very popular.
I happen to be a web developer and created this site before blogging took off so my blog is "home-grown" and does not use a package. I would not recommend anyone do it this way due to the unnecessary work and lack of features. Just find a host, buy a package, and start sharing your thoughts with the world - it just takes an hour to get started.

So, they tell me there's a bug going around. You think?!?
I've been out of commission for the past few days and am just now catching up on backlogged emails. Some of them have been interesting, but the one yesterday from someone moving their furniture and expecting me to get some Boy Scouts to help them was the best. :-)
Anyway, today's the first sunny day in awhile so I've got to kick the son outside and mow one more time while I work on my link directory and a few other web site updates.

Cubmasters and Scoutmasters
I sat in on a local Pack's meeting last night so I could hand out brochures for our upcoming troop event to the Webelos den leaders. They inducted some new Tiger Cubs and a Bear into the Pack. What a great time!
The Cubmaster introduced the two cheers they'd be using for the night. Either the "horse cheer" when shed held up a horse or the "rooster cheer" when she held up a rooster. The scouts just loved doing these different cheers and the place was full of activity and just plain fun. It was a very impressive and well-planned meeting.
From the minute I arrived, I noticed there were adults everywhere directing scouts on what to do, where to sit, when to stand, ... and so on. It's so much different being a Scoutmaster where I have to ask permission from the SPL just to make an announcement. :-)
The people that make great Cub Scout leaders won't necessarily make great Boy Scout leaders. It is a huge shift in style that is required from being the ringleader to being a roadie, supporting from the sidelines and helping get things organized.
I've seen in our troop where parents have joined with their son and had a difficult time making the adjustment. The best thing to do is have new adults that want to be involved complete the Scoutmaster Specific training as soon as possible. It's also a good idea for the Scoutmaster to have some sessions for new parents where s/he can explain the differences between Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. I do these in April and May each year.
Even though the specific job duties of Cubmasters and Scoutmasters are quite different, they have the same general task of being the one person seen as the adult leader of their unit. They also need to be a good team, working together to ensure the transition of Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Do you know your teammate? You should call him or her tonight and find a time to make a transition plan if you don't have one yet.

Another Lucky Weekend
We've been exceptionally blessed with nice weather for our campouts this year. (Maybe it's that global warming?) The district Camporee this weekend had clear skies and cool temperature with geese flying over and leaves falling from the trees.
We woke up to frost on Saturday morning but no one complained about being too cold at night. We had a 50% chance of rain Sunday morning, but it never came. The next few months will all be cabin and snow hut camping so the tents will be cleaned and packed until spring. I sure hope no patrol forgets to dry their tents before packing them away!
We had the opportunity to host 10 Webelos from a local pack and have them camp and eat with us. It was funny to see the difference a summer of Boy Scout camping makes on scouts. The Webelos, who were used to adults doing all the 'work', just ran around and then came looking for food when they were hungry. I told them that I only had enough food for the adults so they might want to go ask a patrol if they could help with the meal and eat with them. That took a bit of processing to understand, but they all got something to eat.
The Webelos joined us for our reflection and they all seemed to have had a good time. Hopefully, we'll see them at a troop meeting soon. It would be nice to get a few scouts from a new feeder pack.
I got to use a Sparks Fly flint & steel set to start our morning cooking fire - that was a fun success for me.

Last Campout of the Year
We're heading out in a couple hours on the last campout of the year for the troop. The November and December outings have us sleeping in cabins so this will be the last use of tents for awhile.
The weather forecast was practically perfect up until this morning when they changed it to be 50% chance of rain Sunday morning. Grrrr! But, that's our norm - packing up camp in the rain. There's a slight chance it might be snow instead of rain, but not likely.
This is the district Camporee with all troops invited, but only a handful participating. Past camporees have been lackluster and the district is trying hard to get them back in place as an outing not to be missed. But, it's hard to get over bad press, especially when it's passed down from scout to scout year after year.
We'll be hosting a handful of Webelos and their parents so they can meet our troop and experience a camporee. This is exciting because they are from a local pack that we've never even dealt with in the past. The two packs that normally feed us are not attending. So, this is a chance for starting a new relationship and having a good time.
I'll let you know how it went when I get home on Sunday.

Police across the Richmond area are increasing patrols while you're out enjoying New Year's Eve. Officers are specifically trying to crack down on celebratory gunfire. It is a major problem every year.
Officers want to remind people it's against the law - and some people in one Forest Hill neighborhood off of Jahnke Road have had enough.
People who live here say they are actually used to hearing gunshots throughout the year, but New Year's Eve is the worst. Some people are too scared to leave their house.
Jimmie Springston said you hear gunfire in the neighborhood weekly, but on New Year's Eve it's in all directions.
"It's been going on for years, so we kind of stay inside. We don't go anywhere for New Year's," he said.
He's not the only one with concerns.
The Smullens also live in the neighborhood and have two young children. They worry the worst could happen.
"A bullet coming through the kid's window. I mean, it's very possible," said Dan Smullen. "There's so much population around here, I'm surprised there isn't really more damage or injuries."
Police are sending out notice that firing a weapon within city limits is illegal and can carry serious consequences. Richmond Deputy Chief Eric English sent out a message saying, "We encourage people to use some commons sense. Reckless handling of firearms endangers everyone."
Police are also reminding partygoers that if they drink and decide to get behind the wheel, there will be more officers out and more DUI checkpoints
So whether you're watching the ball rise in Carytown or ringing it in quietly at home, police say have fun but be responsible - or spend the New Year with an officer by your side.
State and local police have already told NBC12 they are out in full force right now, looking for drunk and other dangerous drivers. DUI checkpoints will be up in several localities through January 2.

5.6 Release also Advances Big Data Access, Performance, Analytics and Reporting
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) today announced that its Jaspersoft® group, creating the "Intelligence Inside" applications and business processes, has released Visualize.js, a JavaScript framework for advanced embedding of visualizations and reports in applications. The new framework, which is available with the newly released TIBCO Jaspersoft 5.6 platform, delivers more control, simplicity and power for application developers by combining the power of the complete Jaspersoft analytic server with the simplicity and control of JavaScript. In addition to Visualize.js, Jaspersoft introduced a series of updates to its flagship platform. Version 5.6 of the Jaspersoft platform includes virtualized blending of relational and Big Data sources such as MongoDB, Hadoop and Cassandra, more powerful analytic calculations and visualizations, and new interactive reporting features.
With Visualize.js, anyone building a web application can more easily include powerful analytics as an integrated experience. Developers can now embed highly interactive visualizations and reports with more control and power than previously available using iFrames, charting libraries or other BI vendor solutions. Visualize.js leverages the REST APIs of JasperReports® Server for built-in services such as data connectivity, repository access, in-memory analytics, and visualization design. Visualize.js ushers in the next generation of embedded analytic platforms with its on-premises or cloud deployment options, low-cost subscription or utility pricing, and comprehensive feature set which delivers unmatched control and simplicity.
Early Visualize.js user, Raj Chary, vice president of technology and architecture at Triumph Learning, noted, "Our Web-based application, GET Waggle, makes it simple for teachers and school administrators to track and measure students' progress and growth on skills and standards. Data visualizations and analytics are a key component of our product platform, and the ability to take immediate actions on key metrics makes it a very powerful tool for our users. We needed visualizations in our product to be a delightful, not a daunting experience. Jaspersoft, with Visualize.js, provided a very rich way to integrate and build reports. This allowed us to easily embed the full power of the platform into GET Waggle to create an experience that makes the data actionable for our users."
Jaspersoft 5.6
Version 5.6 of the Jaspersoft BI platform is designed to help more business users become capably analytic, with advances in key areas such as Big Data connectivity, platform performance, analytics and reporting. In summary, the new features in version 5.6 include:
"More than ever, analytics is now a thing that you do and not a place that you go," said Brian Gentile, senior vice president and general manager, TIBCO Jaspersoft. "The Jaspersoft 5.6 platform advancements, when combined with the new Visualize.js framework, enable any web application to seamlessly embed and control advanced analytic functionality. This enables just the right amount of data - no more and no less - to be presented directly in an application, making everyone more capably analytic."

See the Glossary for more terms.
In this era of very tight paylines and only one resubmission, it's vital to have your application reviewed by the right study section on your first try.
If you do not request assignment to a study section, NIH's Center for Scientific Review (CSR) will do it for you, but sometimes applications end up in a sub-optimal study section where they fare poorly in peer review.
When that happens, PIs must decide whether to resubmit to the original study section or find a more appropriate one. If they go the latter route, the first time the new group sees the application is the PI's last chance to get it funded.
CSR bases assignments on its referral criteria, relying on referral staff and knowledge management techniques to make the match.
Given the emphasis on multidisciplinary applications and emerging science, it's becoming more difficult for CSR to identify the best study section. With a little leg work, you can boost the chances that your application reaches its most suitable audience.
Meet Your Match
When you request assignment to a study section in your cover letter, you help ensure that the best and most appropriate people review your application.
Look for a study section where some members know you or your collaborators' work and potential. If a study section member's work is relevant, cite it in the Bibliography and References Cited section of an electronic application. (Do not name anyone in your cover letter—if you request a reviewer, that person will be barred from reviewing your application.)
The more familiar the study section is with your work, the more likely your application will be reviewed by people with appropriate expertise. If a study section seems right and you don't recognize anyone, read some papers by the members to make sure, or ask a program officer or scientific review officer for advice.
Whether or not you request a study section, state in your cover letter the expertise needed to understand and review your application.
NIH policy also allows you to list people who should not review your application and the reason (for example, they are competitors). Be sure to inform the scientific review officer as well.
Read more about what to include in Create a Cover Letter in the Strategy for NIH Funding. Search for a study section on the Center for Scientific Review main page, or go to CSR Study Section Roster Index.
For guidelines and formats for making a request and an example of an acceptable one, go to Requesting an Institute and Study Section in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Contact the program officer for your area of science:
Some of the same principles hold true for requesting an institute. Though you do not have to make this request, an assignment to an institute that is enthusiastic about your research may improve your funding chances.
To learn where your application might fit, contact an NIAID program officer and ask these questions:
If not interested in an application's science, some institutes would not fund it even if it ranks within the payline (NIAID does not have this policy).
For more information, see It's a Good Idea to Request an Institute and Study Section in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Learn more about the assignment process in Ensure You Get the Right Assignments in the Strategy for NIH Funding.
Let us know how ARRA has helped your research, your lab, your colleagues.
Have you benefited from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act? Let us know how ARRA has helped your research, your lab, your colleagues.
After you fill out our short form at How Have ARRA Funds Helped You?, we will feature your story on our ARRA Success Stories page.
Thanks again to those who have already shared their stories showing how ARRA is making a difference.
The White House has redoubled its efforts to get award recipients to provide accurate reports on time.
Take extra care with your ARRA reporting through FederalReporting.Gov.
The White House has redoubled efforts to get award recipients to provide accurate reports on time.
It's going so far as to give NIH's parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, permission to terminate and suspend awards, reclaim funds, and "further intensify [its] efforts to improve reporting compliance" with ARRA.
Should you worry?
Not if you're on top of your work, which seems to be the case. According to the last numbers we received from NIH, the compliance rate for NIAID grantee institutions is high—a testament to your diligence.
That's great news, and we urge you to keep it up.
Though we do not help you with FederalReporting.Gov requirements, we have information about your responsibilities. For help, go to Special Reporting Requirements on What You Need to Do if You Get Stimulus Funds.
For more instructions and news about compliance, see NIH's Recovery Act Recipient Reporting and HHS's Recovery Act Recipient Reporting Readiness Tool.
Starting January 1, 2011, use xTrain to submit appointment forms and termination notices for NIAID training, fellowship, and career development awards.
Get ready to board xTrain.
NIH requires you to use this eRA Commons module starting January 1, 2011, to submit appointment forms and termination notices for training, fellowship, educational, and career development awards.
Though xTrain is a must for several grant types, NIAID grantees use it for only the following:
Some trainees are already familiar with xTrain since NIH opened it up to Commons users last year. If you're just jumping on board and don't have a Commons account, be sure to get one by asking your institutional business official to register you.
You should also review instructions and training resources on the xTrain Web site. Find out more in the March 30, 2010, Guide notice.
Starting with its sunny-side acronym, CAN—the Cures Acceleration Network—aims big: to speed the development of new drugs, biologics, and devices for the most troublesome or neglected diseases.
The legislation gives NIH new authorities but does not provide additional dollars. We'll let you know more as soon as we have more information on that front.
CAN is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the health care reform legislation that President Obama signed into law on March 23.
If you're researching HIV/AIDS at a PEPFAR-funded site, here is your chance to get a one-year administrative supplement of up to $500,000 for your NIH grant.
NIH will fund about 35 supplements to conduct HIV/AIDS implementation science research. See the April 5, 2010, Guide notice for more information.
NIH may take punitive action against institutions that fail to follow the rules.
You've heard it before, but it's so important that we're giving you another reminder to take financial conflicts of interest seriously.
Key points to remember include:
NIAID just needs to know that conflicts don't bias your research. For more details, see our Financial Conflicts of Interest for Awardees SOP and check out the tutorials at the bottom of that page.
Feel free to send us a question at email@example.com. After responding to you, we may include your question in the newsletter, incorporate it into the NIAID Research Funding site, or both.
NIAID requires that you have a medical license for a Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) but not for a Research Scholar Development Award (K22).
Generally, the grantee institution decides what to do with supplies and equipment purchased for research purposes.
But check with your business office to see what your institution does since different institutions are subject to different rules from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), called cost principles.
For more information, read the equipment and supplies section of the NIH Grants Policy Statement. Also see OMB's Grants Management Circulars and the Code of Federal Regulation's 45 CFR 74.35 and 45 CFR 74.34.
This is a peer review issue, so we can't comment on what reviewers would determine as acceptable. However, you may want to read the section on Training in the Responsible Conduct of Research in the Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) program announcement.
We cover the points your plan must address in our Responsible Conduct of Research: Training SOP.
If you have additional questions, contact our Office of Special Populations and Research Training at email@example.com.
Yes. You can apply for a mentored career development award—K01, K08, K23, or K25—if you receive an exploratory/developmental research (R21) grant.
Keep in mind, however, that if you receive a mentored K award, you cannot get a salary from the R21 until the last two years of the K award. In addition, you need to devote nine person months to the research proposed in your career award.
Find resources in Career Development Awards in our Advice on Research Training and Career Awards and on our Training and Career portal.
See these and older announcements at NIAID Funding Opportunities List.

A 3-in-1 system, also called a "combi", provides for 3 combinations with 1 frame. With the aid of an adator set the frame can be combined with the prambody/pram body (birth toapprox 6 months), or with a Maxi-Cosi car seat (birth to approx 12 months) or with the standard fabric (birth to 15kg/approx 3,5 years) ⇗
Our 24 months warranty does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, accidents, abusive use, negligence or the consequence of failing to comply with the user manual. Examples of normal wear and tear include wheels and fabric worn down by regular use and the natural breakdown of colors and materials over extended time and use. Repairs do not give entitlement to extension of the warranty. ⇗
A buggy is a small stroller with a compact fold in length and width (3-D fold). It's normally used when your child is older and can sit independently. A stroller or pushchair is a larger size frame that comes with a recline seat and/or a removable carrycot for baby's first couple of months for a lie-flat sleeping comfort. ⇗
These terms are often used interchangably with one another, but a travel cot cannot be fitted on a pram body because it is not sturdy enough. There are "soft" travel cots available that can be used with a push chair frame. We call the Dreami a pram body as it is suitable for use for journies with young babies but does not meet UK legislation for overnight sleeping, so it cannot be described as a carry cot. ⇗
Both carrycots can be fitted on the Quinny Moodd and Quinny Buzz. Unlike the Foldable carrycot, the Safety carrycot can also be used in the car as a lie-flat child restraint. ⇗
Registering your Quinny product offers many advantages: you will receive news on useful accessories and Quinny products. We will also share news and tips to help you make the most of your Quinny stroller. It's also good for us to know how to reach you in case of a really important issue relating to your stroller. ⇗
Our 24 months Warranty is recognized by your Quinny dealer/retailer(1) . You must present proof of purchase, made within the 24 months preceding the service request.(1) Products purchased from retailers or dealers that remove or change labels or identification numbers are considered unauthorized. No warranty applies to these products since the authenticity of these products cannot be ascertained. ⇗
The Foldable carrycot fits the Quinny Moodd, Buzz and Speedi. ⇗
In principle Quinny pays for shipment and for return freight connected to the service request under the warranty (via your retailer). ⇗
Quinny strollers are not made with speed in mind. Going at a faster speed than normal poses a risk: you may not be able to stop the stroller in time or when you stumble, you may lose control over the stroller. ⇗
The salt in sea water affects metal parts, causing rust and permanent damage. After a trip to the beach, it's best to clean your stroller frame and wheels properly with fresh water. ⇗
If your Quinny fails due to a manufacturing or workmanship defect, our first option will be to send you a spare part or to repair the item, both free of charge (within the 24 months warranty period). If the product is not reparable, or if the cost of repairing the item exceeds the cost of a new one, it will be replaced by another [Brand] in the same model, or if not available, by the closest model and available color. ⇗
The tyres are fitted with car-type airvalves. You can inflate the tyres with the supplied pump, or at a garage. You need to remove the valve cover and then you can inflate the tyre (similar to pumping a bike tyre) Note: Do not exceed the maximum pressure ⇗
The model number (batch code) of your Quinny Moodd can be found on the washing label of the seat. ⇗
The stroller tyres are fitted with car tyre valves.You can inflate the tyres with the supplied pump or at a petrol station. Simply remove the valve cover and carefully inflate the tyre to the correct pressure. ⇗
If your stroller pushes slightly sluggish, it's probably the result of low tyre pressure, which should ideally be 26PSI/1.8 ⇗
The ideal tyre pressure is 26PSI/1.8 bar. If the tyres are not correctly inflated, it will increase wear and tear and makes the stroller harder to push. ⇗
A 3-in-1 system is also called a travel system or combi. It's a 3-part system, basically a stroller frame which accepts an infant car seat and a carrycot. This allows you to choose the option that best suits your need as your child grows and fits your way of travel. ⇗
Most airlines accept the Quinny Yezz as on-board luggage, as its folded size is within the limit for hand luggage. To be sure, please check with the airline before travelling. ⇗
The model number (batch code) of your Quinny Yezz can be found on the washing label of the seat. ⇗
The model number (batch code) of your Quinny Zapp Xtra can be found on the washing label of the seat. ⇗
