Facing Life
Practice isn't a way to change ourselves into who we want to be - it is about paying attention to who we actually are. This is not to say that change does not occur, but rather that we mustn't pick out some aspect of that change and try to hold onto it. After we sit for a while, perhaps we find ourselves to be calmer, or maybe even blissful, or seemingly imperturbable. But as soon as we seize on any one experience in the midst of practice and say to ourselves, That's IT, that is how I want to feel when I sit or how I should feel all of the time, then we make ourselves rigid and brittle, by trying to hold on. Instead of being open to the ever changing flux of our experience, we try to hold onto one particular feeling, and then subtly, we're on our guard, lest something perturb our inner peace. Then life, instead of being our teacher, becomes our enemy, always intruding, always threatening our peace of mind. All because we've finally "achieved" some change or insight in our practice.
True practice is always a willingness to face life as it is. Yesterday, a friend called saying that her 8 month old son had suddenly died from meningitis. If you think practice is about achieving an imperturbable calm or bliss, what will your practice be for you when you have to face something like that?

Next Oxford United boss must buy into club's principles
9:20am Friday 31st January 2014 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
AN ABILITY to bring through young talent will be a key attribute for candidates looking to become the next Oxford United manager
The process to find Chris Wilder's replacement is under way, although a quick appointment is unlikely, with the board believed to favour a thorough interview process, similar to when they handed Wilder the job in 2008.
Chairman Ian Lenagan is keeping an open mind over whether they make a permanent appointment, or operate with an interim boss until the end of the season.
But there are certain strengths the U's require.
Chief among these will be a commitment to promote talent from within.
Lenagan said: "I think the principles of the strategies that I and my board have for Oxford United are well known.
"We certainly would want a manager who espouses those strategies."

Two wards closed at Colchester General Hospital after an outbreak of norovirus
Updated 2:57pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in News By Wendy Brading
TWO wards have been shut at Colchester General Hospital due to an outbreak of norovirus.
Tiptree and Peldon wards, where elderly patients are cared for, have been closed to new admissions along with one bay of the contingency ward, Easthorpe.
Heather Dakin, senior infection control nurse, said there were currently about a dozen patients with symptoms.
They will continue to be cared for in the usual way with extra precautions being taken to ensure the virus is not passed from patient to patient.
Mrs Dakin appealed for anyone who has had diarrhoea or vomiting within the last 48 hours to stay away from hospital so the illness is not imported to other patients.

Other players have come at AJAX from the server side: Nexaweb Enterprise Web 2.0 Suite, which started as a Java-based framework for building client-server applications, today delivers back-end data to AJAX as well as Java clients. WaveMaker, which started life as a rapid Web application builder on LAMP (it was called ActiveGrid then), is today a rapid Web application builder on Java, allowing neophyte developers to build full-fledged J2EE applications with points and clicks.
The more sophisticated RIA solutions have cozied up to AJAX as well. RIA oldtimer Curl, which nabbed InfoWorld's 2008 Technology of the Year Award for Best Rich Internet Applications Platform (based on 2007's Version 5.0), improved interoperability with AJAX in 2008's Version 6.0. In addition to allowing a Curl applet to be embedded into an existing AJAX page, the new release added skinnable controls and graphics improvements such as anti-aliasing, partial transparency, and the ability to render rotated images.
Curl 6.0 is an industrial-strength RIA platform that brings high-quality graphics, sophisticated effects, easy customization, and excellent performance to Windows, Mac, and Linux clients. Curl has even added offline support through an extension called Nitro. No doubt Curl would draw more attention from developers if it weren't for juggernauts Adobe and Microsoft, and the speed at which their RIA platforms are evolving.
When Microsoft's Silverlight debuted in the fall of 2007, it was already backed by excellent development and design tools (in Visual Studio and Microsoft's Expressions Suite, respectively), and it already had a high-profile deployment in MLB.com. But performance -- at least for highly interactive applications -- was a concern. Silverlight 2, which arrived in the fall of 2008, completed the promise with full .Net support, a rich set of controls and networking APIs, and speed to burn. Microsoft also added the Beijing Olympics and Blockbuster to the flagship customer list, while examples of Silverlight applications become easier to find.

"Want to save a few bucks? Pick up these little humi pillows and grab one of those nice empty cedar cigar boxes, drop one in and you've got a great travel humi. Also good for putting on a black eye after your wife finds your C.I. sales sheet folder. The springs in this couch suck....Ahhhh, but my cigars are fresh."
"These things are absolutely awesome! I picked some of these up on level from Afghanistan, then stuffed two into a small humidor I took back to Afghanistan (in late-June of 2010: the hottest part of the year where I was and the humidity was 25-40% on average). These things maintained humification (via a small experiment) in the same small humidor I travelled with for approximately 5 months now. These two packs still are somewhat plump and working as we speak, even back in Ohio where I am now. I must buy for small humidors; you cannot beat the price."
"I just recently used VB's suggestion with the water pillows. I placed an order at CI and realized I was going to be limited on space for my smokes. I placed a single water pillow dipped in distilled water into an old cigar box. A week later the cigars are properly seasoned and I have yet to refill the pillow. Another great product from CI!!! Thanks.."
"These little bags work GREAT in a glass sealed jar, which I then put on the floor in a cool, closed closet. I use them to humidify 15 -20 cigars. I hadn't thought about using them on a black eye after wifey see's the CI receipt but, that is also a GREAT idea (or hey, just destroy the receipt)!"
"Considering the price, you can make a case for these technological wonders being the most cost effective way to keep your investment in good cigars in premium condition. I recommend using cigar juice for keeping the glycol crystals in the best shape & allowing for repeated refills. I have a few that I have been using for several years. They work wonders in small humidors. I attach one or two pillows to the lid of a ten or twenty count box & can maintain a constant 68-70% humidity, for months at a time without sacrificing the space a round or rectangular device takes up. Toss one or two into any humidor you are having trouble keeping a constant level of humidity & the problem is solved immediately. Travel or even makeshift humidors are perfect places to use these humidification pillows. A double sawbuck investment in 10 pillows & a bottle of cigar juice will give you months & months of protection for every precious puro in your collection. Give 'em a try & see if you don't agree that H-CPHPs are worth their weight in gold!"
"These are awesome!! I tossed one in a Ziploc bag and took out a cigar to smoke. I cheated, I left it in only 19 hours. But what a difference!! It smoothed out the cigar and was an easy light. Simply amazing. I can hardly wait to see what happens when I leave them in longer."
"Been using these for 8 to 10 years now and they do perform quite well. As others have said you can throw one in just about anything that is reasonably air tight and they will do the trick. I used distilled water for mine but you can certainly use the glycol solution as well. In an age of environmental consciousness I should also mention that they are definitely reusable. I have a number of them that I have been using for years. Just pour some water in an empty plastic bowl, throw in the discharged pillow, wait till they're nice and plump and they are ready for another few months of caring for your precious cigars."
"I use these as my on the go humidification, takes only secs to toss one in some distilled water let it soak it up and your ready to go."
"These are great in my CAO Travel Humidor. A must have for perfect humidity released."
"Work great. Very pleased with these!"
"I have used these for years. They work great and are easy to use in any container."
"Perfect for the Holiday cigar zip-locks I am putting together for family and friends."
"Works very well great in jars humidor"
"These pillows are excellent! They hold the 'charge' for a long time. I use them both in my humidor and travel types. It's cool to see them expand. Just make sure to ALWAYS use distilled water. Boiling your own water is not distilled. BUY it. Many times on sale for one dollar a gallon."
"Great product. Easy to use, easy to maintain, and when you are finished, you just throw the old one out and replace with a new one. Great price for the quality of the product."
"I added these little babies to the humidor after I seasoned my Cigar Mosaic humidor and it is holding steady at about 70%. Cheaper than the Boveda packs, but do not put my cigars at risk. Will continue to use these!"
"Excellent source for humidity, plus it takes up less room in the humidor. Very important for traveling humidors too."

Unfortunately, you may find that there is nothing wrong with either the software or Windows XP.
Windows XP has advanced beyond being terribly DOS "friendly", most of the BIOS/DOS function calls are now emulated (where they exist at all) by the NTVDM which is slower than it actually working in teh hardware. Additionally, NT/XP actually gets in the way of some of teh function calls directly to the hardware that were all to common in the DOS days to get some speed out of an application– for example accessing hardware directly.
There are several articles on google that might help you (here) but I think you will find that the application may not ever run correctly in WIndows XP. (Sorry.)
One thing you could try is to try is to create a PIF file to tell Windows XP how to better run the application. Here are some articles at google to help you with doing this task.
Good luck!

Top Form: Vogue Editors' Workout Routines Revealed
Ever wonder how other people stay in shape? We polled ten editors to find out what they do for exercise, what they wear to work up a sweat, and how they reward themselves after a job well done.
1 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
During the summers on Long Island I play polo, which truly is a full-body workout: It's great for your core, gives you amazing arms, and you burn calories like crazy. The best part about polo is that the game is so intense that your mind can't be bothered by how hard you are working.
What do you wear?
Paige white jeans and a Polo shirt
What do you do to replenish?
I drink chocolate Zico coconut water.
Ralph Lauren Blue Label cotton mesh polo, $125; ralphlauren.com
Paige Denim Skyline Skinny in Optic White, $179; paigeusa.com
Céline Trapeze bag, $2,300; For information: joanshepp.com
2 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I do TRX and other tortuous maneuvers with Keith Paine and Nimble Fitness, and I love yoga with Elena Brower at Vira Yoga. Both are wonderful and I always leave much improved, albeit exhausted.
What do you wear?
My Rachel Roy Runway to Win T-shirt that says, "People who believe change is possible are the ones who make it happen"—to inspire me.
What do you do to replenish?
I drink an All Greens juice from Liquiteria and eat Brad's raw kale chips.
What music do you listen to?
The Foo Fighters "Walk," "Wild One," by Flo Rida, and "One Time," by the Roots always get me through a long run.

Brad's Raw Kale Chips, $7; bradsrawchips.com
Liquiteria All Greens pressed Juice, $9; For information: liquiteria.com
3 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I take FlyBarre classes three times a week at FlyWheel in the Flatiron District, with Kolina, who is my favorite teacher.
What do you wear?
I wear my Splits59 leggings with a Pret-à-Surf T-shirt or hoodie.
How do you replenish?
I usually head right to Momoya sushi for dinner. It's often business-related, but fortunately the entertainment industry is casual, so my workout look translates just fine.

Splits59 black Nova Capri tights with contrast reflective silver, $98; neimanmarcus.com
Nike Raquette high-top shoe, $110; nike.com
4 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
As an avid runner (my favorite route is the big loop in Central Park), I thought I was in decent physical shape, but Punch Fitness certainly proved me wrong! I have never experienced such an intense and versatile workout. It's boxing, kickboxing, cross training—everything. I take a private one-hour lesson with three friends each week, and I've never felt better.
What do you wear?
Everlast boxing gloves, Nike sneakers, and an Alexander Wang jacket to put on after the workout. Also, I always bring a massive bottle of Fiji water.
Alexander Wang engineered track suit jacket, $495; alexanderwang.com
Everlast Black MX Pro Fight Gloves, $150; everlast.com
Nike women's free run+ 3, $100; nike.com
5 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I'm training for a handful of Olympic and sprint distance triathlons this summer, and I do my training with Team In Training to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).
What do you wear?
I swear by Under Armour gear—especially because a lot of my training for the spring races happens outside in the winter—and my New Balance sneakers.
What do you do to replenish?
Generally, I drink a lot of whey protein shakes and a ton of water, but I also drink Gatorade before and after long workouts.
Under Armour UA HeatGear Fly-By Mesh Stretch Tank, $30; underarmour.com
New Balance Minimus Road shoes, $110
6 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
BariBounce in Tribeca is my favorite workout. It's a Barre Method–style workout, but you get your own trampoline. It's so fun that you don't even know you're exercising.
What do you wear?
I wear workout clothes from this amazing Montreal–based company called Lolë, and a watch so I know how long I have been working.
How do you replenish?
I drink cucumber water—and then I head around the corner to Bubby's for brunch.
Lolë Essential cardigan, $95; lolewomen.com
Chanel J12 watch, price upon request; Chanel, NYC, 212.355.5050

7 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I have completed several marathons and my regular training includes long runs on the bridle path in Central Park.
What do you wear?
I wear Brooks running shoes, my favorite Adidas leggings, and Nike's Pro Victory Compression sports bra—I have tried every sports bra out there and this is the only one I will wear, because it's comfortable, it fits, and it works.
Nike Pro Core Sublimated women's sports bra, $35; nike.com
Adidas modern classics Grete three-quarter tights, $50; adidas.com
8 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I play tennis at Midtown Tennis Club with Miguel Astorga, though I haven't been in ages (tennis racket: cobwebs). My spring resolution is to get back in the swing of things—literally.
What do you wear?
I wear tennis skirts and tops by mostly Nike and Adidas, and a pair of customized DWNTWN BRWN Nike ID shoes. When playing outside, I always wear a hat (white Nike DryFit or a broken-in US Open baseball cap)—but the most important thing I wear on face and body is bucket-loads of sunscreen.

9 of 10
How do you stay in shape?
I am obsessed with the workouts at Bari Studio in Tribeca, and they are helping me attempt to get my body in wedding shape.
What do you wear?
Lululemon pants and top, Gap sports bras, and New Balance sneakers—and I carry it all around with me in a Marc Jacobs tote.
Adidas by Stella McCartney run three-quarter tights, $100; adidas.com
T by Alexander Wang blue hooded jumper, $299; farfetch.com
Marc Jacobs multi python Khaki in blue combo, $3,895; Marc Jacobs, NYC, 212.343.1490
10 of 10
What do you do to stay in shape?
I swear by Aleah Stander's FlyWheel class on Friday nights—it's the perfect way to start the weekend with a clear head and some energy—and I try to supplement the cardio workout with Core Fusion at Exhale, especially their Core Fusion Sport class with kettlebells (after all, sundress and exposed-back season is fast approaching), and the grueling workout on the Fitformer at Pilates ProWorks, which is great for graceful toning and agility.
What do you wear?
I frequently run errands after working out, so I make sure to bring post-gym clothes that are comfortable, but pulled together. After a quick splash of Bliss face wash, I'll throw on a Phillip Lim T-shirt, a pair of TOMS, and leggings—great for going back out into the world.
Toms Tyler Ramsey hand painted shoes in Ash, $68; toms.com

If you would like start really conserving money with coupons, attempt to save extra income for while you shop. When you lack disposable cash reserves, you won't be able to take advantage of the ideal deals. Coupons can assist you together with your groceries, however, you might miss out on others.
Make an effort to open up some storage space in your own home for better couponing!If something is deeply discounted, make sure you can properly store and organize those things.
Plenty of retailers will modify their policies about coupons when there are actually too many shoppers getting in on the very same deal, and therefore means less savings throughout.
If you wish coupons for prescriptions, go the manufacturer's website to identify a deal.These manufacturers usually realize that medication prices are high, and so they would like your business by providing a savings. If coupons are certainly not included, they may offer loyalty programs that provide discounts to those people that buy each and every month.
Try and collect not just among each coupon since you can.When something is for sale, use your coupons to buy multiples of this item. For instance, if you find a sale on peanut butter and you also happen to be in possession of four coupons, buy as many cans while you have coupons for. This should help you do not have to get again till you have more coupons.
Be selective in regards to the coupon which you select. Getting something totally free is the perfect deal, however, you don't wish to start investing in products which you wouldn't normally purchase. Have a grocery list of what you would like prior to viewing the coupons. Doing this will help against overspending.
Consider joining a tiny couponing group together with your family or friends members. Once you collect coupons with others, you may trade valuable coupons for stuff you aren't specifically thinking about to get a coupon your friend doesn't want.
Find coupons by focusing online to your favorite companies so that you enjoy. Consider manufacturers that provide a lot of the products you get regularly. You can find any place else should you give your current email address.They will reward you with a bit of bargains.
Before selecting a cafe or restaurant, glance at the coupons offered by different restaurants. A coupon that provides a limited amount of savings may well not even compensate for your beverages.
Offer your leftover coupons to family and loved ones. It is possible to provide them in on any deals that could save an in-depth discount.
Be sure you look at coupon caddies based in supermarkets to acquire extra savings.
Try to keep away from just one brand. Real coupon collectors will not feel this sense of loyalty. They are only looking to find the best price. If you are overly loyal to particular brand, your savings won't be as significant like you were flexible.
Once you're good at collecting coupons, make sure you branch out to multiple stores. Different stores may offer different rules and opportunities. You might have to travel a bit and pay for gas, the complete savings is sometimes in excess of the additional value of gas. Also take into account that you make sure the store you're going to will accept your coupons are generally accepted at other stores.
Understand that some coupons can be utilized online as well. There are many coupon sites which have coupons which can be used mainly for internet use. Always conduct a seek out available coupons before you make purchases online.
Ask your spouse to be aware of any coupons they will often see. They could find opportunities for savings that you some money. The greater people on the quest for coupons the higher chance you might have at spending less.
You might want to consider joining your food markets customer club in the event you shop at. Many stores will provide coupons which are exclusive to just the members.
The bottom line is that you need to never be afraid of using coupons. Don't be intimidated by using coupons. These hints could save you a huge amount of money at the checkout. Start using coupons today.

The FA Cup draw delivered an extra special present this time around, matching Manchester City and Manchester United against each other in the third round proper. The Red Devils are set to visit Etihad Stadium, but there's more than a spot in the next round for them after they were taken apart by the Citizens to the tune of 6-1 earlier this season. Now it's a matter of getting revenge too and thanks to a long list of absences on the Citizens' side, they might be able to get it.
When it comes to Manchester football and the midfield it is usually United who have problems, but this time around it is the Citizens who have midfield problems. Injuries, suspension and the Africa Cup of Nations have combined to leave City depleted in the center of the pitch. All of a sudden, United might have a rare advantage in the middle.
Yaya Toure has been barred from playing in Sunday's clash by the Ivory Coast, who are insisting that he report for training ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations despite the pleas of City manager Roberto Mancini and Toure. Gareth Barry is also out to to suspension and Owen Hargeaves is injured. That leaves Nigel de Jong and James Milner as the Citizens' only fit central midfielders, which could become quite the problem if either gets hurt or tires late in the match.
Exactly who Sir Alex Ferguson chooses to plays in his mess of a central midfield is unknown, but whoever he goes with has a fighting chance all of a sudden, especially late in the match when Mancini doesn't have another option to go to. For reasons unknown to anyone who has watched the Red Devils in recent years, even the retirement of Paul Scholes wasn't enough to convince Ferguson to buy a central midfielder, but maybe he was really more clever than anyone else and just knew that his opponents' central midfielders would start dropping like flies? Luck or luck (it's luck), the Red Devils have a chance in the middle now.
The center of the midfield isn't the only place that the Citizens are hurting. Like his brother Yaya, Kolo Toure is being called for national team duty and cannot play, while Mario Balotelli isn't available as he battles an ankle injury, while Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri are still a bit of a doubt as Dzeko battles a balky knee and Nasri an illness. The list of unavailable might soon be longer than the list of available at Eastlands, giving Manchester United a way back from their 6-1 humiliation to the fourth round of the FA Cup and putting a smile on the faces of those on the red side of Manchester.

SASKATOON — There's a room in Saskatoon that looks like nothing you've seen.
The place is a shrine, of sorts, dedicated wholeheartedly to the Montreal Canadiens. The devotion is deep and penetrating. "Anytime you go through a closed door, you never know what's behind," says Jim Taman, who presides over the Western Canada Montreal Canadiens Fan Club. "When (newcomers) walk in, they seriously can't believe what's there."
The regulars are streaming in during the playoffs, decked out in Habs-wear, eyes upturned to the replica scoreboard with its four TV screens pointing in different directions.
The locker room, located at Latrace Arena, is designed to look like the Montreal Canadiens room. Stalls are meticulously kept - white jersey and red jersey each in its place, hanger hooks facing the same way, rulesbreakers handed a six-beer fine. There's a Stanley Cup replica that cost almost $6,000 to make. A Canadiens' logo on the floor that cannot, under any circumstances, be stepped on.
Memorabilia, including 83 historic sticks, lines the walls. The team's motto is displayed on the wall, just like it is in the Canadiens' real-life locker room: "To you from failing hands we throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high."
The club has garnered more than 20,000 memberships during its 26 years, with a much smaller group of men playing on the actual team. They play pickup hockey at the arena; they travel around for charity games. This year they've played against the Montreal Canadiens Oldtimers during a community fundraiser in Humboldt, and against the Saskatchewan Roughriders during a money-raising effort in North Battleford.
Guy Lafleur's been in the room, and was impressed. Larry Robinson, Steve Shutt, Henri Richard, former coach Jacques Demers - they've all been there, and they all praised the place.
When the Canadiens won the 1993 Stanley Cup, a package landed in Taman's hands a few weeks later.
He opened it up, gaped at the 25 game-used sticks from the decisive run. It was a thank-you gift from the Canadiens, and each now has its place of honour.
Canadiens playoff games are a steady ritual in this place, stretching back 26 years. Supper's served after the first period - Thursday night, the devotees dined on slowcooked barbecue beef with salad and garlic toast. On Saturday, they'll eat prime rib.
If you have use the washroom, you'll do your business into a toilet with Bruins and Maple Leafs logos stuck to the bottom - "all done in fun and good humour," Taman makes sure to note.
Most of those in attendance try to match their jersey choice that night to the team's locale - whites if they're on the road, red at home. It's a family affair. Wives and kids are welcome.
And when the Canadiens score, when they light that lamp and ignite the fervour of those eternallyloyal fans back home in Saskatoon ...
"It's a pretty phenomenal scene," Taman says. "Everybody's highfiving and kissing. Well ... the guys

Alleviating Hurricane Fears
Shandra Valenzuela knows hurricane season will inevitably stir up not just broken tree limbs and loose debris in her yard, but the fears of her oldest son, Stephen, 11. "My oldest son is extremely anxious," says Valenzuela, who lives in Tampa, Fla. "He won't watch the weather channel. If the weather is on he leaves the room."
While the family, which also includes father, Jose, and children Jack, 1, and Julia, 7, has never been in a home hit hard by a strong hurricane, they have lost electricity during hurricane season. Last year, August brought Hurricane Irene followed by Katrina and Rita in September and then Wilma in October. "I was worried about him, but I found if we spent time together he was better off," Valenzuela says.
Young Masters of Disaster
Valenzuela made an effort to listen to her son's concerns and let him be part of the hurricane preparation. "They know they are being heard," she says. "I would ask him what foods would you like to have. If he knows the radio is sitting there and the batteries are there and we have the food he likes and his Gameboy is charged, he has a hand in it and feels better about it."
Even when her electricity went out for 36 hours straight, the family was able to make the best out of an uncomfortable situation. "We sat around and played board games and did stuff we did not usually do," she says.
Heidi Taylor, senior associate of preparedness with the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C., says parents may want to plan ahead for fun activities to do in case they are not in an evacuation zone but need to hunker down and weather a storm at home.
Taylor suggests parents visit www.RedCross.org and view the Masters of Disaster section, which includes lesson plans for teachers and information for families. "There are lots of things families can do together when the power goes out such as board games, spending time together," she says. "There is an opportunity to spend time with the children and, as a family, just do some fun things. Use that time to spend together."
Taylor says children may become frightened during hurricane season because they feel helpless and don't understand what's going on. "Parents can be good role models for safety," she says. "When local authorities are saying it's time to evacuate, the best thing to do is to evacuate in a timely manner."
Riding a storm out when authorities have called for an evacuation may be uncomfortable for your child, Taylor says. Children may also become nervous if they evacuate with friends or other relatives, but their parents or siblings stay behind. "They know they are going to safety, but if someone in their family is not going with them it can cause a lot of fear," she says.
Taylor says parents should involve children in their preparedness plan. She suggests talking ahead of time about what they will do, how they will get information and where they will go. "Also, include children in getting supplies ready," she says. "Share as much information with children about what will happen and what to expect. Take them shopping, help them assemble the supply kits, have them pack their own backpacks, things that are ready to go so they are ready in case a hurricane does come their way."
Dealing With the Aftermath
Following a major storm, try to involve your child in age-appropriate activities. While they should not be around debris and glass, they may be able to help in the recovery in small ways.
Taylor says children do not always talk about their feelings when they are upset. Don't assume your child is not afraid if he or she keeps quiet. "If they are not talking about things, parents might think they are not upset," she says. "We know that's not always the case. Sometimes, children don't talk about their fears following a disaster because they don't want to upset their parents. If parents can take a proactive approach in bringing those things up in conversation, they will have a better understanding of how their child is dealing with it."
Turning Back the Clock
Some people say they will be more prepared for future hurricanes after having been through disasters in the past.
Kimbel Burt, a parent liaison at Ben Franklin Senior High School, a charter school rebuilt after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, says she will be more prepared next time. "The year before last, we were pretty new to here and it was my first big hurricane," Burt says. "We started to go to Houston. It took me eight hours to get to Baton Rouge from here."
Burt says she was tired of driving and called her father, who gave her the number of a friend from college. "I called him up at 3 in the morning and said who I was and who my daddy was," she says. "He said, 'I know your dad.' I said, 'Can I come stay with you? I'm really tired of driving.' He did not know me from Adam. He said, 'Sure.'"
People who have young children may want to plan ahead to find friends or relatives who can give them temporary lodging. "With Katrina, we weren't real prepared either," says Burt, who has two children. "We just went with work people. Next time I'm going to have it all set up. People need to know where they are going to go and be prepared for that instead of being surprised each time."
Burt says 60 percent of the students at Ben Franklin are not in their original homes. Students and faculty attend lectures on stress. After a major disaster, it's important to find a sense of normalcy again, according to Burt. "A lot of parents still don't live with their kids," she says. "Their kids are living with other people just to go to this school. This to them is normalcy. Fifty percent of our staff lost everything. For them to come back here, that was normalcy. They did not have to think about it. These kids, all they have to do is think about what they are studying."
Ryan Wee, 17, a senior at Ben Franklin, says his family of four including sister Kirsten, 14, and parents Beth and Jim, are living in an apartment after their home was flooded under more than nine feet of water. Wee says his family spent an entire day trying to board up their house and then evacuated. "I had evacuated a few times before," he says. "It never hit. I'd spend the whole day boarding up the house and come home. I thought it was kind of a pain."
Wee says most young people feel helpless when they hear about a hurricane. "I think a lot of kids who had to go through it are pretty worried," he says. "My sister was freaked out about it. We had to leave our rabbit behind. He was 10 years old. He died in the flood. That got to her. We lost just about everything in the house."
Wee says some of his friends did not evacuate. "The biggest problem was people who could not leave," he says. "A friend of mine, a coach at one of the local schools here, had to be air-lifted off his house with his two little girls. He could not leave. He did not have the means at the time. I know he got out safe."
Finally, the cliche about saving money for a rainy day takes on a new meaning during hurricane season. Make sure you put aside a small amount of money throughout the year for hurricane season so your child does not have the added stress of having to worry about staying with strangers, not having enough food or being trapped in a dangerous place during a mandatory evacuation.

Disaster in South Dakota Further Highlights Need for Farm Bill
According to the Executive Director of the South Dakota Cattlemen's Association - five-percent of the herd in the western part of the state may have been lost in a record-breaking storm that dumped four-feet of snow on the area. If that estimate holds - that would mean 75-thousand dead cattle. But Jodie Anderson says folk are still assessing the damage. She adds that the timing of the storm was terrible - as cattle didn't have their winter coats and hadn't been brought to winter pastures where more protection would have been available. In the midst of government uncertainty - including the lack of a farm bill - Anderson says cattlemen are worried they may not have any government protection to help them recover from this disaster. To stress how the lack of a comprehensive farm bill leaves livestock producers without a federal safety net - South Dakota Representative Kristi Noem spoke on the House floor Tuesday about the cattle losses in her state and the need for a new farm bill that would cover livestock disasters. She said it's time to finish the farm bill - time to go to conference and have negotiations on the most reform-minded bill that's been put together for decades. Noem said getting the farm bill done could give producers in western South Dakota more certainty in these very difficult times.

PEORIA, Ill. -- Former Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood said he is on board with a plan to bring more Passenger rail to Central Illinois.
As we reported Tuesday, The Illinois House unanimously approved the possible creation of an east-west passenger rail corridor.
The route would run between the Quad Cities and Danville with stops in Peoria, Bloomington, and Champaign.
Legislators are calling it the "education corridor", connecting Bradley University, ISU and the University of Illinois. LaHood said that's a great idea.
"Students come from the suburbs all the way to southern Illinois. A lot of them ride the train. It's comfortable, it's affordable. And that would provide the same kind of service to those of our students here in Peoria," said Ray LaHood, Former Secretary of Transportation.
The proposal now goes to the state senate for discussion.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

I might also consider magic lantern and focus peaking once the software gets out of the early testing stage.
Um, my usual comment: On other than the 2012 cameras ml is stable and proven for years - though on 6d and the op's 5d3 you have indeed to wait for the official release.
Btw: The upcoming ml release will also have "focus bracketing" so if you are not able to see where the focus is you can at least take a couple of shots with slightly different focus and then pick the good one. Unfortunately, due to Canon firmware constraints all focusing features of ml work only in live view.

Minnesota is finishing up a four-game road trip. The defeated the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1 on Monday before losing 4-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday and 3-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday. They'll return home to play the Nashville Predators and the Carolina Hurricanes next week.
A Look Back
The last time Minnesota faced Florida was on March 29th, 2012. The visiting playoff hopeful 37-24-15 Panthers played the 31-35-10 Wild to a 2-2 draw after 60 minutes, on goals by Tomas Fleischmann and Scottie Upshall. Mikku Koivu ended it just 15 seconds into the extra frame, wristing it past Jose Theodore, who had saved 22-of-24 shots.
Erik Christensen tied the game for Minnesota with 30.3 seconds left in regulation and Mikko Koivu won it 15 seconds into overtime as the Wild defeated the Panthers 3-2 at Xcel Energy Center. Combined with Washington's 3-2 shootout win at Boston earlier in the evening, Florida saw its division lead over the Caps reduced to four points.
It was the Panthers' League-high 16th loss in games that have gone past regulation.
"It's a tough one. You're 30 seconds away, the puck hits a skate, hits a post and then he banged it in," Panthers goaltender Jose Theodore said. "We still got a big point, but when you're 30 seconds away, you want to get the win." * Full Recap * Box Score
GameTime: 7:00 PM ET, FS-FLA, WQAM, LBC GameThread at 6:30

Microsoft's Behavior in OOXML Proceedings to Undergo Investigation by EU Commission
The EU Commission is looking to investigate whether Microsoft illegally attempted to influence the standardization process for its own OOXML document format.
Prior to the vote by the ISO standardization authority in the fall of 2007 various irregularities were observed (and reported by Linux Magazine). In the months leading up to the vote, Microsoft resellers and other allies of the corporation joined the ranks of some committees eligible to vote. In Italy, for example, the voting committee grew from four to 85 members in a short time. In Portugal, twelve new members joined the committee shortly before the vote. The Wall Street Journal monitored the process very closely at the time, now the magazine reports that the EU Commission will be investigating the procedure in the near future. According to "well-informed circles" the regulatory authority will be investigating whether ob Microsoft illegally attempted to influence national committees during the voting phase of the ISO standardization process.
The investigation will be part of newly launched anti-trust action by the EU Commission concerning Microsoft's behavior towards competitors. The EU regulators will be investigating the integration of Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser in its Office and Windows products, and attempting to ascertain the extent to which Microsoft products support interoperability with third-party products. The incidents leading up to the ISO standardization vote will be the third area of interaction between the software giant and its competitors that the regulators will be looking into.
Despite the lobbying, Microsoft's document format failed to take the first vote on the ISO organization's fast track. Following the vote, national standardization committees have submitted over 3,500 comments on the file format which the software company can evaluate for remedial action. The ECMA proposals have been available for commenting since mid-January; voting members will decide on OOXML standardization, ISO/IEC DIS 29500, at the end of February.

Yee-HAW! It's Country Music Week in Edmonton in the lead-up to the Canadian Country Music Association Awards on Sunday.Comments ()
Singer/guitarist Carl Newman is ever the Twitter troll, crafting controversial tweets about banjos, New York cyclists, or even his own power-pop supergroup, The New Pornographers,
In the Fringe show Butt Kapinski, a jaded private eye moves through the seedy side of town, mingling with the junkies, the whores, the johns, the burnouts and sad cases, the drunk cops and priests with a past.
You can't get this Fringed and Confused, and then just stop, cold turkey. Some of the hottest shows at the 33rd annual incarnation of the Edmonton Fringe Festival are held over next week.
The monster summer theatre festival that Fringed and Confused a city for 11 days went to bed with a victory smile on its face.
Fringed and Confused? Don't let the title of this year's Fringe Festival put you in a spin.

The Edmonton Fringe Festival may already be a tourist attraction, but organizers are using a newly announced provincial grant to make it even better. The Fringe is one of the first three Alberta celebrations to be awarded a grant this year from the province's festival and events growth program. It received $35,000 while the Rotary Club of Drayton Valley's Thunder in the Valley and Wetaskiwin's Friends of Reynolds Alberta Museum Society Harvest Festival were awarded $25,000 each.
If the formula works for the funny, do it. That's what Peter Carlone and Chris Wilson, or comedy duo Peter n' Chris, think about when writing their shows.

At a glance, 32 summers of Edmonton Fringe history may look like chaos. Fabulous chaos, but still. After all, our gigantic, unjuried alternative theatre bash is the unruly monster-child of permissive non-interventionist parents. And it grew up all topsy turvy, sprouting strange theatrical limbs. But every once in a while, you can make out repeating patterns, startling traditions, even.

If you plan on jailbreaking your iPhone 4S using the new Greenpois0n Absinthe software, you better hurry because there's a chance jailbreaking smartphones could become illegal again in the United States. Two exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act that allow you to jailbreak and unlock your phone are set to expire this year.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, is hoping to have both exemptions renewed. This time around, the foundation is also hoping to legalize jailbreaking for tablets and video game consoles such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If the jailbreaking exemptions are not renewed, the foundation says, jailbreaking could carry some stiff penalties including hefty fines.
[ Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
To aid in its quest in maintaining and expanding jailbreaking, the foundation is calling on all jailbreak enthusiasts to submit comments to the U.S. Copyright Office. All comments are due by February 10 at 5 p.m. Eastern time.
Hacking into your smartphone to run unauthorized or modified software on the device has proven popular among iOS and Android users. Apple fans typically jailbreak their device to run unapproved apps or add visual tweaks to their devices. Android users choose to root (the Android version of jailbreak) their devices to run modified versions of Google's Android mobile OS such as CyanogenMod. (If all you want to do on Android is run apps not in the Android Marketplace, you dont need to root your device; just enable the "sideloading" capability to install non-Marketplace apps in the Preferences app.)
Some security experts argue that jailbreaking could expose users to greater threats from malware, but that worry hasn't stopped millions from taking full control of their mobile devices through jailbreaking and rooting. The hacker group Dev-Team recently said that nearly 1 million iPhone 4S and iPad 2 users jailbroke their devices in the first three days after a new a jailbreaking tool was released.
Get out of jailbreak free
Jailbreaking smartphones was legalized in the U.S. in 2010 after the Electronic Frontier Foundation won exemptions to the anticircumvention provisions of the DMCA. The exemptions, granted by the Librarian of Congress during a rule-making proceeding mandated by the DMCA, said that jailbreaking your phone so that it can run any software you choose was an example of fair use under U.S. copyright law. The 2010 ruling, which was technically a postponed ruling from 2009, also made it legal to unlock your phone's cellular radio so that your smartphone could function on any compatible network.
At the time, manufacturers, including Apple, opposed the DMCA exemption. Apple argued that jailbreaking could affect a device's reliability and security as well as encourage users to download pirated software.

Milledge unfazed by hit-by-pitches
Outfielder says he crowds the plate, and it's 'part of the game'
WASHINGTON -- On Thursday night, Dodgers reliever Ramon Troncoso hit Nationals outfielder Lastings Milledge on his right forearm with a pitch at Nationals Park. It marked the 13th time that Milledge was hit by a pitch this season. The total ranks second in the National League entering Friday's action.
At first, it looked like Milledge was going to be out of action because he was in such pain after getting hit, but he remained in the game and started Friday's game against the Braves. Milledge already wears armor on his right elbow, but doesn't plan to have any more protection.
"I don't want to go up there with a lot of stuff as it is," Milledge said.
The main reason Milledge is hit often is because he stands close to the plate, but he has no intention of moving farther back in the batter's box.
"It's part of the game. Nobody is going to run me out of there," Milledge said. "One of these times, it might catch me and put me out for a while, but when I come back, I'm going to be right there. I stand close to the plate. I take part of the plate away. The pitchers may not like it, but they have to deal with it."
Getting hit by a pitch has put Milledge out of action only once during his career, and that occurred during Spring Training in 2004, when he was a Minor Leaguer with the Mets. In fact, during his time in the Minors, Milledge was hit 34 times.
"I've always had a lot of hit-by-pitches," he said. "It has never been a big deal to me."

By JENNIFER MESCHINELLI
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The night before the Clinton County Christmas Bureau kicked off for the season, veteran volunteer Tina Leclerc was ready to go.
"I can't wait each year to get started," she said Monday evening. "I'll be busy every day for the next month, but it's only a month, and it's really so much fun."
Leclerc, who always works behind the scenes for the agency that makes Christmas happen for many, many needy families and senior citizens, has charge of distribution center, located again this year in the former Checkerhill Farms building on Boynton Avenue.
They call her "head elf," according to Tammy Perrotte Sears, who co-directs the Christmas Bureau with Alice Heckard.
It is Leclerc's job to organize the center, make sure orders are filled and keep track of when they need to be ready, to name just a few responsibilities. She has volunteered with the agency for about 15 years.
"It really takes a lot to make this happen, but we have volunteers that have been doing this for many years," she said. "They all really know what needs to be done, and they just take over when we start setting up.
"After all these years, it's just routine."
And, Leclerc said, the volunteers have jobs now that they are good at, which makes things run smoothly. A smooth operation allows the them to focus on what they love most about pitching in — helping low-income families have a wonderful Christmas.
The Christmas Bureau "elves" have spent the past few days getting their space ready to start accepting toys for the 1,100 families they assist.
The storage unit has been cleaned out, brought to the temporary location, and this week it will be organized.
On Tuesday, Clinton County Jail inmates helped ready the distribution center.
"The building was being prepared for demolition, so we were lucky we could have it for one more year," Sears said.
As it is every year, the biggest needs are gifts for older children and teens.
"Teenagers are hard to get stuff for," Leclerc said. "Sports equipment is also always needed. It's easy to pick up a nice scarf for a girl, but boys' gifts aren't as glamorous."
She believes all the children should have their own new book for Christmas. And craft projects and helmets are also big needs as well.
Youngsters are recipients of gifts, but givers as well.
"It's so wonderful to see parents come in with their kids to donate toys," Leclerc said. "It's so cute to see the kids do this."
But in the end, there isn't a lot about the effort that she doesn't enjoy — no matter how busy it gets.
"It's hectic at times, but you remember you are doing it to help someone out."
The second week of December is the busiest because it's shopping week. And while the volunteers are putting the orders together, donations are still coming in, and then the towns are starting to come in to pick up piles of presents for the families who applied for them through the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO).
But Leclerc stays on task.
"I am kinda organized," she said. "You really have to be or it would drive you crazy."
The deadline to apply for Christmas Bureau assistance is Dec. 7.
Families in the City of Plattsburgh who were served last year can call 420-2600; those in the city who are new to the program should go to the distribution center at the corner of Boynton Avenue and Veterans Lane between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. starting Nov. 27.
Residents of Clinton County who live outside the city apply at the Joint Council for Economic Opportunity (JCEO) outreach center in their own towns, or, in the case of Beekmantown, Mooers and Schuyler Falls, at the town office.
Eligibility is based on income, and, families must have children 16 and younger living in the home, must provide proof on income and Social Security for all in the household, and custodial/child support documents.
To donate to the agency, which is all volunteer and donor-funded, mail checks to the Christmas Bureau, P.O. Box 1253, Plattsburgh, NY 12901.
To volunteer or donate toys, go to the Christmas Bureau between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Donations can also be made at the Christmas Bureau's gift-wrapping booth at Champlain Centre mall, which raises funds for the all-volunteer agency.
