text: Historic moments recreated in Lego Wired Places 26 November 09 by Michael Conroy Tweet The Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand The Royal Prince of Hungary and of Bohemia not only had the misfortune of falling victim to the pistol of Gavrilo Princip (shown in the foreground) in late June 1914, but is also now saddled with the blame for the First World War in hazily remembered classrooms around the world. Daniel Siskind, who built the recreation, had similar educational motivations for the construction of this piece. "The purpose is to pass along historical information in a context that younger people can relate to," Siskind told us. "Kids love toy tanks, airplanes and playing soldiers, so this is my attempt to give these things a geo-political context." "I was also able to find photographs of the actual street, the surrounding buildings, and the vehicle in which Ferdinand and Sophie were riding in. The biggest challenge was to stage the scene with a high level of historical accuracy, since no photographs of the actual assassination exist and contemporary drawings do not match eyewitness accounts. I'm also not photographer, so getting the actual picture to come out was a serious case of trial and error as well!" Siskind, who for 20 years ran a record label and punk rock fanzine, has been building with Lego since 1974 and now sells his own Lego kits at Brickmania.com.Flickr: Brickmania Some of the world's finest builders of bricks recreate great moments in history, from the race to The South Pole to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the launch of the iPhone.

The Expert Parent on postpartum depression
Beyond the "baby blues"
Q: The news about the Texas mother who killed her five children and is said to have been suffering from postpartum depression is very disturbing. I'm about to have my first baby and I can't imagine such a thing. What is postpartum depression and how likely am I to suffer from it?
A: This recent tragedy seems to involve a very severe--and rare--case of postpartum depression (PPD). Although 50 to 75 percent of new moms have some feelings of melancholy in the first weeks after birth (often called the "baby blues"), only about one in 10 new moms experience real postpartum depression or anxiety. The difference: PPD lasts longer than the baby blues, is more intense and often requires counseling or treatment. The most severe form of PPD--what experts believe the woman in Texas was suffering from--is called postpartum psychosis.
PPD may occur within the first weeks or up to a year following childbirth. The symptoms include fatigue, helplessness, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbances, fear of losing control, feeling overwhelmed, lack of interest in the baby, and even fears of harming the baby and/or yourself.
PPD is often triggered by hormonal changes after birth. Women who have a personal or family history of depression may be more at risk.
The best way to prevent postpartum depression from getting out of control is to be aware and educated about the symptoms and to seek treatment. Treatment options can include therapy, medication, family education and support groups. The good news: Most symptoms are temporary and treatable.
If you do suffer from PPD you won't be alone. Actress Jerry Hall battled it after the birth of her last baby and model Rachel Hunter had it with her first. Princess Diana suffered from PPD as did singer Marie Osmond, who wrote a book detailing how she coped with her depression.
But remember: Not all post-baby blues are PPD. Pregnancy and childbirth result in a wide range of emotions and leave your hormones in flux. Along with the excitement and joy come normal feelings of anxiety and worry. But if you begin to experience any of the symptoms of PPD, talk to your doctor right away. The prognosis is excellent if treated early.

Insiders' Tips: What are the best things about living in Springfield?
"We came for the schools initially. The commute to the Pentagon is very convenient. I like the art guilds in Alexandria and Springfield. The swim club was nice. Folks are decent out here. There hasn't been a radical change. It's very stable."
Top Five Issues in the Springfield District
Traffic congestion, especially on I-66 and the Fairfax County Parkway: I-66 is one of the major reasons the D.C. area was recently ranked first in worst places to commute by Texas A&M University. I have been working with other local and state leaders to move forward solutions including an Express Lanes-like solution that we can accomplish quickly and provide relief as well as transit choices. The Fairfax County Parkway is one of the county's "main streets" and will see interstate level traffic by 2030. We have been successful with some short-term solutions, converting it to a primary road and last month at my request, the board asked VDOT to commission a "Corridor Improvement Study" to assess solutions to the road's growing congestion problems. In addition, as we develop throughout the county we need to make sure we focus developers' contributions into transportation.
Insiders' Tips: What are the best things about living in Clifton?
"Fairfax Station is close by to a lot: Shopping is important—and there's Fair Oaks and Tysons. Since we're near the capital, there are a lot of concerts; WMZQ Fest and Ke$ha at Jiffy Lube Live are some of my favorites recently. But it's not in the city so we don't have as much traffic to deal with. As a kid, I really liked the fact that the [Lorton] prison was out here. It was creepy. It felt like the middle of nowhere at the time. I also liked being near Occoquan with the parks. My family would take a boat out, or play baseball. I go to Clifton a lot and get ice cream at Peterson's. It's really cute."

Q: Being mayor of the City of Fairfax has to be the ultimate "insider" position. What tips do you have for someone new to the city? A: Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer! The best way to get to know your new community, and to get connected and engaged is to volunteer. There are so many boards, festivals and community associations in the city. I would suggest someone new to town check out our new website, which lists a number of great ways for newcomers to get involved.
Insiders' Tips: What are some of the best things about living here?
Interviews conducted on Friday, Aug. 16 at The Virginian senior living community along Route 50 in Fairfax.

There are many activities at The Virginian—it's your choice. Every day there's something going on—exercise, Bingo, Bridge, card games and entertainment at night."
Mayor's Welcome to the City of Fairfax
On behalf of the members of the Fairfax City Council, I want to welcome you. Less than 20 miles outside our nation's capital, the City of Fairfax has played an important role throughout the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia and our nation. The city's size of 6.3 square miles and 23,000 residents gives our community the feel of a small town, while providing all the amenities of living in a large metropolitan area.

Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are among the New England Patriots who won't play in Monday night's preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to NFL.com's Albert Breer, Brady, Gronkowski, Brandon Lloyd, Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker and Jerod Mayo will be held out of Monday night's contest against the Eagles.
Belichick, the master of injury secrecy, probably won't speak much of anything about the reasons for New England's first team offense getting the night off. The Patriots, however, are scheduled to play again on Friday night in Tampa Bay, before concluding the preseason on Wednesday, Aug. 29.
Including Monday night's contest against Philadelphia, that's three games in 10 days, and Belichick likely simply doesn't want to risk injury to any of his star players.
Get used to a healthy dosage of Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett.

Derby Cocktail- 1 oz. Michter's Bourbon, 1 oz Vya Sweet Vermouth, .75 oz Creole Shrubb, .75 oz lime juice, mint/
Derby Cocktail
1 oz bourbon (Michter's US*1 Small Batch)
1/2 oz sweet vermouth (Vya)
1/2 oz orange curacao (Clement Creole Shrubb)
3/4 oz lime juice
Add mint leaf
Shake over ice. Double strain into chilled cocktail glass. Smack mint, then garnish.
This cocktail is from Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails. The cocktail starts with a candied orange, tobacco, and mint nose. There is a tart/sweet entry followed by spiced orange notes, herbaceous botanicals from the vermouth and the charred oak depth of the whiskey. This is an interesting drink in the limited amount of bourbon, which may turn some away, but it's reservation leads to a different beast of a drink, a bourbon cocktail to be sure, but one to be savored rather than shot down the hatch. The Creole shrubb is an amazing liqueur and holds its own with the tartness of the lime, a top choice among orange liqueurs. This is a good cocktail for fans of sour drinks such as the Pegu Club, whom prefer whiskey to gin.

Jeff Siegel's Prime Picks for Saturday, Jan. 3
We have an challenging card on Saturday with consistently good-sized fields and excellent wagering opportunities. In the 2nd race, trainer Ron Ellis is removing the blinkers from the exceptionally quick #6 Ubetimfast in an effort to slow down the Richter Scale gelding after he ran off early and faded late in a similar spot at Hollywood Park last month. He'll have to deal with recent maiden winner #2 Yukon Bull and if those two hook up early, the race could set up nicely for the stalking #5 Let'spickupthepace, whose numbers are steadily improving for the starting-to-get-hot Mike Mitchell barn. It'll be interesting to see how the track plays today; yesterday there were three gate-to-wire winners but deep closers won a couple as well. The track has been quite fair so far this meeting, with pace and race-shapes determining where the winners have been coming from. The 3rd race has a number of high potential first time starting maidens, but the edge may belong to a colt with a race under his belt, #7 Snapshot. Well-backed in his debut but fading after pressing the pace in a contentious race last summer at Del Mar, the son of Awesome Again has worked like he means business for Sise (excellent with layoff runners) and gets blinkers and Flores. Among the newcomers who have impressed the clockers are #2 Street Car ($170,000 yearling by Street Cry, Baffert/Gomez); #3 Pleasure to Ride (homebred colt by Candy Ride, Hollendorfer/Bejarano); #5 Mr. President (homebred colt by Vindication, Shirreffs/Espinoza) and #8 Wall Street Wonder ($325,000 2-year-old in training purchase, Baffert/Nakatani). The 5th race is one of the tougher $25,000 Nw-2 claimers you'll see around here. #1 Kearns Prints looked quite good graduating last month and with continued improvement could be tough right back, although the rail post takes away a few of Talamo's options. Also worth considering is #5 Utahn, third in a blazing starter's allowance race in late November won by upstart It's In God's Hands. And #10 Evaluate drops into a claimer for the first time and lands Gomez, so he looks extremely well meant for Baffert. I would think the winner will be one of these three. The 7th race is a first level allowance sprint for fillies and mares and the Bobby Frankel-trained #2 Queenofalldiamonds could fire a winning shot fresh in her California debut. She was visually impressive winning at Keeneland in October and has trained like she's ready for a similar performance today. Although she's in with open company today, #3 Onebadkitty is a major player following a clever score vs. state breds on turf across town. She was an excellent second over this track last year in a Calbred stakes and this extended sprint distance seems perfect for her stalking/closing style. You also should consider #5 Cool Haleigh, the fastest filly on speed figures but possibly in need of some help up front, as she's primarily a deep closing sprinter. The one they all have to beat is #11 Elinvar, a comebacker in the John Shirreffs's barn who has trained lights out for her first start since November of '07. She won her debut, so you know she can fire fresh, and if she can transfer her turf form to the Pro-ride surface, she could very well be along in time. The Monrovia Handicap, which goes as the 8th race, is one of those top-to-bottom-a-chance events and with racing luck #9 Contentious could spring a surprise. She's been primarily a miler during her career, but those types often explode off the hill, and she seems most effective when held up early and allowed to run late. That's the way Brice Blanc will ride her. Barry Abrams has #1 Lethal Heat fresh and dangerous but she'll need some luck from the inside draw. Garrett Gomez is reunited with #2 Jibboom, whom he guided to victory in a highly-rated middle distance grass event at Hollywood Park in November. She was, however, a graded stakes winner two years ago sprinting at Keeneland so the course might suit her just right. And if they don't respect her early speed, #3 La Tee might never look back. She almost stole the Ken Maddy Stakes under similar conditions during the Oak Tree meeting. If you're looking for a Pick-4/Pick-6 single, you might want to consider #11 Tizzy Salsa in the 9th race. She exits one of the strongest maiden claiming races of the year (a distant second behind Threat) and has come back to train exceptionally well for Hollendorfer. She should have a trouble free trip from her outside draw while switching to Bejarano and represents excellent value at 5-1 on the morning line.

Kevin Dillon of WEEI did a nice breakdown of the Celtics first round picks under Danny Ainge's tenure. He just summarized them but I'm going to go an extra mile and grade them. Because I can, that's why.
Marcus Banks (13th overall) - F
Wasn't a contributor and never fulfilled his lottery pick status.
Kendrick Perkins (27th overall) - A
Was never a star, but was a solid starter on a Championship team picked at the end of the first round. That's a home run.
Al Jefferson (15th overall) - A
One of the best low post scorers and rebounders in the game and was the centerpiece of the deal that got us KG. Not bad for a 15th pick.
Delonte West (24th overall) - B-
Solid player when he could play but injuries and off court issues derailed a promising career.
Tony Allen (25th overall) - A-
Top defensive talent picked very late in the draft. Has had some of his best years away from the Celtics, but was a great find and developed in Boston.
Gerald Green (18th overall) - D+
Obviously a bust based on the hype around him but there wasn't a ton of talent left on the board and I think Ainge picked him based on his potential value. He was included in the package that got us KG so there's that.
The Celtics traded their first round pick
[Edit: They did, however, buy a pick from the Suns which they turned into Rajon Rondo. I'd say that's is an A+ don't you think?]
The Celtics traded their first round pick
J.R. Giddens (30th overall) - F
I never understood this pick and even though it was the last pick in the first round, I felt like if you were going to take a chance on someone, roll the dice on a big man (or at least a point guard).
The Celtics traded their first round pick
Avery Bradley (19th overall) - A-
Again, one of the top defenders in the league (if he can stay healthy).
JaJuan Johnson (27th overall) - D-
Jared Sullinger (21th overall) - A-
Fell into our laps but a lot of other teams passed and Danny didn't, so credit where it is due.
Fab Melo (22th overall) - D-
Wasn't much else on the board when he was picked but the team has already cut bait on him after just one year.
Conclusion: Danny Ainge is all about talent and isn't afraid to take a risk on a guy with upside and some question marks. Sometimes that means finding a bargain (Sullinger, Jefferson, Bradley) and sometimes that means a swing and a miss (Melo, JJJ, Banks). Personally I like that strategy because I'd rather have 3 or 4 home runs to go with 4 or 5 strikeouts than a series of singles and ground outs.
The second round is a whole other discussion but I think he grades out pretty well there too - considering some of the solid finds he's picked up there.
Overall First Round Grade: B+
What grade would you give Danny?

I think the post is clear if you've been following the various posts about Obama's criminal cronies and his past drug use (plus whatever else he was doing).
The sig line simply reflects the view that this nomination isn't over until the convention, and as long as somebody might get shot between now and then we cannot possibly know who the nominee will be. The fact that Hillary is brave enough to point out this historical truth is why she is so inspiring.

Adrian Rawlins in Empire MagazineMovies
Charlotte wrote to let us know the following bit is in UK's Empire Magazine, January 2004 (is it really almost 2004?), page 26:
You'll see him next in Harry Potter 3: "I play Harry's dead father, so there's not a great deal to do. I'm in the next one for about four seconds - Harry has this photo album of his parents and the photos move, because they're magic. The director, Alfonso Cuaron, has a really good attitude and he wants to make the dead parents a bit more 'Camden bohemian'. They're cool wizards, not just these godly figures from Harry's past. They got up to things in their day!"
But he won't be going to Hollywood just yet: "I teach 17-18 year-olds at a school just outside of Dorking for a couple of days a week and I really enjoy that. It's a really nice gig and the headmaster loves it. When he takes prospective pupils' families round the school, he says, 'And this is Harry Potter's dad...'"
Thanks, Charlotte!

Evaluating web frameworks
Stop re-inventing the wheel and build your web applications with the excellent tools already available.
One theme I've noticed in many large web applications is badly reinvented wheels. I suspect a lot of this is caused by the "not invented here" syndrome or by developers who want to avoid external dependencies (portability is nice). The problem is that virtually all web applications have a rather complex set of requirements and security needs that often are not implemented well (if at all). And, a lot of us who have been programming web applications for more than a decade might still be a bit mentally stuck in the 2000s, when a little HTML and some form fields were all you needed to make an "interactive" site that actually worked quite well. Conversely, I can't help but think newer programmers aren't aware of all the problems already discovered and solved in frameworks during the past decade and a half.

Learn more about the new state-of-the-art home for Lesley's College of Art and Design
Friday, May 10, 2013
Today, Lesley is building the Lesley University Arts Center—the new home of the College of Art and Design—to advance engagement with the arts across the university, throughout the surrounding community, and everywhere our graduates pursue their professions.
The Arts Center, to be located on Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge's Porter Square, will double the College of Art and Design's current space, and is designed to be a nexus of creative thought and energy by providing state-of-the-art facilities for use by the arts programs in all of Lesley's schools. This major investment in the arts will not only benefit students and faculty, but also students and faculty across the university in programs like expressive therapies and creative arts.
Activity is already under way at the site. With construction expected to be completed by the end of 2014, we will embark on the spring 2015 semester, which begins in January 2015, in the new building—less than two years from now. The completion of the Arts Center will realize the College of Art and Design's long-awaited move from Boston's Kenmore Square to Lesley's Porter Campus.
The unique design of the new Arts Center marries history with contemporary design through construction of the new four-story building connected by a dramatic, glass-walled commons to the historic, former North Prospect Church.
The new Arts Center will contain classrooms, studios, digital and other laboratories, faculty offices, and flexible spaces for collaborative work. The ground floor will feature art exhibition spaces that invite the public in while enlivening the streetscape.
The Arts Commons Connector is a three-story glass arts commons space that will connect the new building with the historic church. The commons, opening onto a plaza on Massachusetts Avenue, serves as the entrance to the Arts Center, welcoming students, faculty and visitors into the complex.
The historic, former North Prospect Church is being relocated and restored to house the arts library and art-making studios.
The first phase of the Arts Center complex, housed in Lesley's University Hall on Massachusetts Avenue, is already completed and features drawing classrooms, critique rooms, space for the MFA in Photography Program, and professional-rate studios for seniors in all majors.
The Arts Center will expand the long tradition of offering robust events and activities to the Lesley community, including exhibitions, visiting artist lectures, conferences and symposia.

Icy roads blamed for 4 accidents
Icy road conditions were blamed for four accidents Monday afternoon, the most serious near Moomaw's Corner north of Bayard.
The Nebraska State Patrol said that 21-year-old Natasha Ingraham of Moffatt, Colorado was driving a 2000 Ford SUV eastbound on Highway 26 just before 8 p-m when she lost control of the vehicle, spun and struck an embankment, causing the vehicle to roll onto it's side. There were six people in the SUV, all of which were wearing seatbelts.
Ingraham and one passenger, 18-year-old Angel Cauffman were transported by ambulance to Regional West Medical Center, where they were treated and released.
The Patrol said that the other accidents occured just west of Dix on Highway 30, just west of Lodgepole on I-80, and four miles east of Scottsbluff on Highway 26. There were no injuries in any of those accidents.

Everton threw away a lead to draw 2-2 against Tottenham in the last match, leaving them four points adrift of the Europa League spot. They are unbeaten in their last four, and host a QPR side with an almost-certainly insurmountable deficit of seven points to overhaul in order to survive relegation.
Everton have been beaten only once at Goodison Park this season, with a home record that is only one point worse than Chelsea's, though the Hoops' recent record against Everton gives them some slight hope -- they haven't been beaten by the Toffees since 1995, with this season's reverse fixture ending in a 1-1 draw.
Everton will welcome back a couple of key first-team players from suspension in Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar, as if to pile yet more misery on QPR, who haven't won in their last three games. Ross Barkley and Johnny Heitinga are expected to drop to the bench to make way for their returning teammates. Tony Hibbert is a doubt, though that won't worry David Moyes too much.
QPR have Bobby Zamora out through suspension in the first of a three match ban for kicking the head of Wigan's Jordi Gómez last weekend, while Shaun Wright-Phillips and Samba Diakité are their only injury concerns in an otherwise healthy squad.
Everton injuries and suspensions
Out: None In doubt: Tony Hibbert (calf)
Queens Park Rangers injuries and suspensions
Out: Bobby Zamora (suspended) In doubt: Shaun Wright-Phillips (ankle), Samba Diakité (knock)

An East Texas man remains behind bars charged with killing his wife and new details about the murder have been revealed in the arrest affidavit, which was obtained on Tuesday afternoon from Harrison County authorities.
According to the arrest affidavit, on Sunday morning at approximately 11:15, Marshall police officers responded to the Baymont Inn and Suites in Marshall after receiving a call about a possible homicide. When police arrived, they found two children in the lobby who told officers that they believed their father had killed their mother.
Officers obtained a room key from the desk clerk and entered one of the hotel rooms, where they found the blood-covered body of Kari Rene Dunn lying between the bathtub and the wall. Dunn had multiple cut wounds on her face, neck and abdomen.
Marshall police interviewed a guest at the hotel (whose identity is being withheld) who told police that between 10 and 11 a.m. on Sunday morning, the guest heard children screaming in the hallway. When the guest came out of their room, the guest found three children in the hall. One of the children told the guest, "I think my dad is killing my mom!"
The guest then went to the children's room, where the guest began beating on the door. A man opened the door and told the guest that he would be out in a minute. The man then exited the door and told the children, "Come on, come on." The man grabbed the smallest female child and exited the hotel.
On Monday, Brad Allen Dunn, 35, of Longview, was arraigned on charges of murder and evading arrest in the death of Kari Dunn. Police say after Dunn killed his wife, he then fled the scene with 4-year-old daughter, prompting an Amber Alert to be issued.
Dunn was arrested shortly after by Cass County authorities.
"A good citizen responded to the Amber Alert. She was behind the vehicle at the time on US 59," said Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe. "DPS and county patrols were able to get him stopped just inside the city of Linden."
Dunn was transferred from the Cass County Jail to the Harrison County Jail on Tuesday afternoon where he remains on a $5.1 million bond.

Planetary Herbals - Reishi Mushroom Supreme 650 mg. - 100 Tablets
Planetary Herbals Reishi Mushroom Supreme 650 mg. is a Reishi-Astragalus Compound. Planetary Herbals Reishi Mushroom Supreme contains some of the finest Chinese herbs for supporting immune defenses. This modern formulation is designed to provide a wide range of adaptogenic activity from the most highly regarded tonifiers of the ancients. The addition of world-renowned tonics and adaptogens such as astragalus and eleuthero makes Reishi Mushroom Supreme an ancient treasure for modern health.
Planetary Herbals Reishi Mushroom Supreme: "Enhances Immune Resistance"
The reishi mushroom has been one of the most revered and sought after herbs in Asia for generations, remaining in continued use for more than 2,500 years. Used traditionally as a general tonic, reishi has been found to support immune resistance in modern animal and in vitro studies. Planetary Herbals Reishi Mushroom Supreme contains additional renowned tonics and adaptogens. It was formulated to include some of the finest of all Chinese herbs for supporting immune defenses.
Reishi: Botanical Immune SupportReishi mushroom is one of the most highly prized botanicals of Chinese herbalism. Traditionally it was used as a general tonifier for preserving health and promoting longevity, as well as for promoting mental well-being. Reishi has been shown to support general and specific immune resistance in modern animal and in vitro studies.
Beneficial ConstituentsModern pharmacological research has identified more than 100 oxygenated lanostane triterpenes in the reishi fruiting body and mycelium (the immature but most active growth stage of the mushroom before the fruiting body is developed). The mycelia also contain several constituents that are not present in the mature fruiting body, including triterpenoids, polysaccharides, sterones and an unsaturated fatty acid. Reishi Mushroom Supreme combines a highly concentrated extract of the mature fruiting body with the mycelia biomass, to ensure a broad spectrum of reishi constituents.
Wide Range of AdaptogensTo further augment and enhance the effects of reishi, Planetary Formulas has added a range of tonifiers and adaptogenic herbs, many of which are legendary in their own right. Adaptogens are defined as substances that enhance general adaptive response. They increase resistance against external stressors, have a balancing effect and stabilize normal body functions.
Clinically Derived Formulas from Michael TierraPlanetary Formulas products are exclusively developed or selected by licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist Michael Tierra, L.Ac., O.M.D. Michael has been usingPlanetary Formulas products on a daily basis in his more than 30 years of clinical practice. This means your customers can be assured of obtaining the benefits they are seeking from a herbal product.
Winter And ImmunityThe botanical world has much to offer for winter health. Herbs can offer a complete wellness regimen that begins with building immune resistance that lasts throughout the season. Next is to mobilize the immune defenses in times of need, while utilizing key herbs to restore normalcy to the system & build resistance. Each Planetary Herbals product supports these seasonal functions.
Does Planetary Herbals have vegetarian products and if so which ones are they?Products that are for vegetarians have descriptions on the label that identify the specific product as vegetarian. If the label does not specify vegetarian, then the product may contain ingredients unsuitable for those specifically adhering to a vegetarian diet.
I have allergies to various things and would like to know how to find out if Planetary Herbals products are hypoallergenic?Planetary Herbals declares the presence of any of the major food allergens. They also frequently describe on the label the specific components that the product does not contain to help you make a personal assessment of the suitability of the product for your specific allergic condition.

It is always important to read the label of the product in detail to clearly identify important usage information. If you have a specific dose or serving size concern, you should always check with your healthcare professional prior to utilizing any dietary supplement.

Ingredients are sampled and inspected for both purity and potency. The specific locations or sources of their raw materials are proprietary to their business as many competitors attempt to reproduce their formulations.
I am currently taking one of Planetary Herbals' dietary supplements. Can this item be mixed with other supplements?In many cases, though it varies for each individual's health needs, supplements can be combined. Of course, you should always read the labels of all the products you are considering to see if any contra-indications exist. Planetary Herbals highly recommends that you take personal responsibility for informing yourself to tailor your nutritional program to meet your own health goals.

Tina Kopic (Writing Consultant)grew up in Bosnia, Croatia, Germany and the U.S. which might have contributed to her pronounced fascination with languages and communication. She holds a BA in English, a BS in Psychology and an MFA in Fiction and teaches writing at Emerson and Bentley.
Miranda Roberson (Writing Consultant)received her Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Emerson College, where she currently teaches in the First-Year Writing Program.

Triplet tots become Cwmbran celebrities
10:20am Thursday 27th September 2012 in News By Chris Wood, Reporter
Buy this photo ONE YEAR ON: Triplets Poppy, Tilly and Sofia celebrate with mum Charlotte Cousins
AFTER a tough start to life when they were born prematurely, triplets from Cwmbran have become minor celebrities in the town.
Sofia, Tilly and Poppy celebrate their first birthday today, with mum Charlotte Cousins describing how a simple walk through town can take five hours because crowds of people gather round the trio.
We reported last year how the triplets were born three weeks premature at Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital, with Sofia the smallest weighing just 2lb 9oz, Tilly weighing 3lb 4oz and Poppy 3lb 8oz.
The sisters then spent three weeks in a special care baby unit, with Ms Cousins and dad Gareth Vincent anxiously waiting for them to be given theOK to come home.
Now, one year on, all three are fit and healthy as they cause mischief around their home at Green Willows, Oakfield.
Poppy is now 19lb 11oz, Sofia is 17lb 12oz and Tilly is 18lb 2oz.
Ms Cousins said: "They are like three little personalities who brighten people's days. We go out, it's unbelievable, crowds just gather round them.
"On one trip, we were there for four hours and managed just two shops as so many people wanted to see them and another time, we just about walked from the car park to McDonald's. They are magnets for people."
Ms Cousins and Mr Vincent have now split up – but anyone who may think she has her hands full looking after three babies would be mistaken.
She added: "People say it should be hard, but no, everything just takes longer.
"Some children scream and are an absolute nightmare, but the girls very rarely cry, although there are a fewsleepless nights."
Ms Cousins has taken a career break from her position with Bron Afon community housing and spends her days taking the girls shopping, to the park and swimming.
She describes 19lb 11oz Poppy as a "chunky monkey", Sofia as "the small, silent observer" and tall, slim Tilly as "the leader, they follow around" as she is already walking.
The family will hold a birthday party for them on Sunday.

This is a great, lesser done route with a fair bit of variety. Getting established on the dike is a little bit heady. I seem to remember the first pitch having a few more bolts than are shown on the topo, maybe 4-5? The second pitch climbs to a large tree ledge and the third climbs an easy, left facing dihedral to the top.
One of the better, more varied routes at Stone. Protects well where you need it.

With three new council members and a new mayor elected Tuesday in Dyersville, many people are wondering about the fate of the Field of Dreams development project.
Nearly 40 percent of the city's registered voters cast a ballot, the results of which unseated three current elected officials and filled an open council position.
Developer Denise Stillman, through her company Go the Distance Baseball, plans to build a 24-field youth baseball and softball tournament facility adjacent to the Field of Dreams movie site.
Some people in the Dyersville area have welcomed the project as an economic boon, while others oppose it, saying it threatens the area's rustic charm and rural way of life.
Now, however, people on both sides wonder whether new city leadership will mean a change of course for the plans.
Current mayor Jim Heavens told the Telegraph Herald Tuesday night he believes the incumbent-ousting is a sure sign Dyersville voters don't want the project to succeed and that it's virtually killed.
Stillman, on the other hand, told KWWL Wednesday Heaven's comments couldn't be further from the truth. She said just because the elections didn't go his way doesn't mean the development project's future is in jeopardy.
Mayor-elect Alvin Haas said he's not against All-Star Ballpark Heaven, he just wants to learn more about it.
"I don't think we should throw it out with the bath water," Haas said. "I think it deserves a conversation. I think with a new council, a new mayor, maybe a new perspective on it, we can get there."
Haas ran for mayor also in 2007 and 2011 and said he's excited to finally start tackling some of his top agenda items.
"Getting a handle on the debt is probably the biggest thing that I was concerned about," Haas said, adding he also wants to see revitalization in Dyersville's downtown area. "Not everything we have up at City Hall is bad, but there are some things that I have a concern about."
Ward 1 council member elect Teresa Bockenstedt said she wants to add more openness and public input as Field of Dreams development plans unfold.
"I'm ready to listen to see what (Dyersville citizens) want me to present, because to me it's not sitting up on the city council and making decisions that I want. It's going to be what the people of Dyersville want," Bockenstedt said.
Both she and Haas emphasized they did not run on a "Field of Dreams platform." Both of them, in fact, insist lowering the city's debt is one of their top priorities.
Data from the city of Dyersville show the municipality has $12.1 million in outstanding debt. That's just under 73 percent of its total debt capacity. The city is paying that off at a rate of about $1 million per year.
The new mayor and council members will assume their positions Jan. 1.

A letter from FSIS listed off, in detail, a number of instances of "inhumane slaughter and handling of cattle" that dated from September 10 to October 31, 2013.
Despite Catelli Brothers having a "systematic approach to its humane handling program," FSIS described observing "egregious" noncompliance with any such plan, and pulled its inspectors off the property on January 24.
Without inspectors, slaughtering operations at the facility cannot proceed.
Incidents of alleged abuse
The FSIS letter catalogued a number of instances of animal cruelty at the Shrewsbury facility that were depicted on video footage turned over to investigators.
That same footage may be viewed here with the strong caveat that it is graphic.
- On September 24, the agency documented "an egregious noncompliance," in which an allegedly improperly stunned animal regained consciousness while it was being slaughtered.
- On October 11, "the video recorded a conscious animal that had not been stunned" and was being beaten in the face "with the flat side of a rattle paddle," a tool used for moving livestock.
- On October 17, USDA describes a scene in which a chained calf with an apparently injured leg was described as "lazy," and allegedly was dragged from a trailer while lying on its side.
- On that same date, the agency noted another two instances in which workers at the plant yanked on calves' ears, tails, and rolled them over in attempts to motivate them to move—all of which behaviors, the agency notes, are prohibited by law.
"This case really represents a problem that is national," said Peter Wood, a research associate for the Humane Society of the United States who reviewed the footage from the case.
Wood said that although adult cattle who are "too injured, sick, or weak" to rise to their feet are required by law to be euthanized, no such stipulation exists for downed calves.
"If adult cows are euthanized to prevent abuses, why shouldn't calves [be]?" Wood asked.
Besides the safety risks presented by slaughtering an unwell animal for food, Wood said the abuses shown in the video are beyond the pale.
"If you see an semi-conscious animal hanging upside down from a chain, and his neck is open because he's being bled out, I think anyone with an ounce of compassion would just be shocked and horrified and outraged," he said.
"It's one of the worst videos I've seen," Wood said, "and I've seen a lot of cases over the years.
"No living being deserves to suffer like that," he said.
"Time and again we find incredible suffering and cruelty in factory farms and slaughterhouses," Wood said. "If people who care demand change from the government and industry, then hopefully we'll see that."
'A poster boy for animal cruelty'
Writing on behalf of the Humane Society, Bernard E. Rollin, a bioethicist from Colorado State University, agreed that the abuses he saw on the video as among the three worst he's been invited to review.
"This video is, as it were, a poster boy for animal cruelty," Rollin wrote in an open letter provided by the Humane Society.
"There is no sign of good management, of the sort that would quickly put a stop to the sadism which is not only brutal, but counterproductive to the economic mission of the operation."
Catelli Brothers did not immediately respond to calls for comment on Monday evening, but its website did provide the following statement:
"For two generations, Catelli Brothers has recognized our ethical obligation for the well-being of calves that are in our care, and we take our commitment to humane treatment of every calf seriously.
"We are deeply concerned about the allegations that have been made regarding the care of calves at our facility. Any mistreatment of animals at our facility is unacceptable, and our established practices strictly prohibit the processing of any downed calves.
"Our company is cooperating fully with U.S. Department of Agriculture officials as we investigate the situation.
"In addition, the very day these concerns were brought to our attention, we retained one of the nation's leading experts on animal care and handling in meat plants, and he was on site within 24 hours to help us gather facts and identify necessary changes to ensure that we are providing optimal care and humane treatment of every calf that enters our facility.
"We are prepared to take the necessary action as the investigation warrants."

Welcome, enjoy and congratulations!
I've contacted Mr Cheerful ... hopefully he will be along soonanyone seen Rachel??
everyone out running. Well done Rachel.......give us a few paragraphs about where you are runniung wise pleae
Well done
We found her .. she just hasnt found us yet
Hello one and all!!!
Finally found the thread! Phew....was beginning to feel a bit lost there for a moment!!! Wow! Wow and wow again! This news could not have come at a better time! Have had a rubbish week!! (won't bore you with the details just now...time for that later!!)
So.....running wise..
As I said in my pitch for this oh so amazing opportunity- I did the LIverpool marathon jus over two months ago. It was my first marathon, and I was optimistic I'd make sub 4. But, made all the typical first timer mistakes and went off too fast. I knew I had to run at a 9 min mile and yet was convinced I could hold an 8.20 pace. Lesson learnt there!! So...that was an 18 week plan (that I kind of adapted from some random book!) and I stuck to it religiously .....
After the marathon I had a week off then picked up the training again, though I cut my miles to approx 22 a week (retaining a 10 miler on a Saturday). I then did the Stockport 10 miler 2 weeks ago on the back of a stinking cold. It was either jog it or DNS. I jogged it. (1 hour 30). Last couple of weeks just plodded along really, but really looking forwward to upping my game after Christmas!!! Woooohooooooooo!!!!
sounds like you are ina good place to start teh campaign... which marathon are you running
Congratulations Rachel.. You just made my stalker list
Which marathon are you going for?
I'm running the Manchester marathon, which is flat (or so they claim!!) which in my mind would alone shave off the 4 minutes I missed my goal by in Liverpool!!
Congrats Rachel, I'll be dropping in from time to time
I was thinking to follow a set plan- though it has to fit in with "life". ie my 5 children and fulltime teaching job! Due to the above I tend to do my midweek runs in the morning. Last time I ran 3 weekdays, long run Sat and short run Sun. That kind of limits me to a max of a six mile run midweek, just because of time....My last plan started with a long run of 6 miles, which would seem like a backward step now. It also didn't incorporate anything other than "get out and cover the distance" slogging out the miles. All advice here much appreciated!
Morning! You could probably follow a similar schedule in terms of number of runs, but you could adapt it to suit your 'non-beginner' status. Lots of set plans assume you're starting from scratch. If you've been doing a 10 mile weekend run recently, you could start in January ramping that up by 2 miles a week, so in February you're happy running 20 miles at a nice comfortable pace - nothing too quick, keep that for the weekday shorter stuff. Personally I like to get at least 5 20+ mile runs in before a marathon, done at least 2 weeks apart so don't feel you have to run 20 miles every week.
If you can do 3 midweek runs then quality is what counts. I'd suggest that one of those should be longish intervals (maybe 4 minutes fast, 2 minutes jog) at a pace you can sustain for 6 repetitions (that'll take a bit of practice!) and one should be a tempo 5 miles (not flat out, but beyond where you can have a conversation).
We might need to think about your target: if you can 'jog' 10 miles in 90 minutes when unwell then a 4 hour marathon should be well within your grasp. OTOH we want to avoid going off too fast, so we should probably set something sensible nearer the time.
Well done rach- I'm a chronic sub-4 wannabe ( I've meneged it twice in 8 marathons), and although on the "pitches" thread, I said I wasn't doing a spring marathon, I'm possibly now doing one about a month before my double, so I may join your thread for a bit of motivation, although I suspect I'm supposed to be runnig slightly longer disstsances if my ultimate aim is 56 miles! .
Weather in Scotland is horrendous today....off to the gym for a LSR on tready.
Congrats Rachel, and after being a mentee in last years Forum Six, I know what a difference this will make to your training and running.
So if you don't mind I shall be a-loitering and a-lurking, and possibly a little stalking over the next few months
Oooo..lurkers and stalkers! Fab! Please talk lots as well, so I don't feel like I'm the only one asking stupid questions!! Really excited about this...will possibly start investigating training plans later today, so I can type up and colour code!
Hi Rach...working and 5 kids.that is a good busy schedule............I would like to get sub 4 again in a spring marathon but not sure if i am in that kind of shape yet so will see what the next few weeks brings before i decide whether to enter one
I am a great fan of doing a recovery run the day after my long run.......gets everything working again

Near the Bass Ponds within the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge, nature lovers are used to seeing all sorts of animals, a two-and-a-half foot alligator is not one of them.
"Nobody is really equipped to handle an alligator in Minnesota that we could get a hold of. So, they brought it to us," said wildlife biologist Vicki Sherry.
Sherry fully admits that even after 17 years with the Wildlife Refuge, she's not even sure if this is an alligator or a crocodile. The age, sex and amount of time the large lizard has spent in the refuge are all unknown -- but she does know that gators can't survive cold temperatures and don't belong in Bloomington.
"We do have people -- maybe not this exotic -- who bring in their unwanted pets," said Sherry. "It's not a good idea to bring anything like that to a refuge."
The gator was found on Wednesday around noon when Charlie, a greyhound and Labrador mix, came upon it while walking with his owner.
Stan Hejl told FOX 9 over the phone, "This baby alligator was sitting there -- and my dog wanted to go in, and I had to tell him not to. What kind of idiot would drop an alligator off in a pond like this?"
According to Animal Control Officer Jacob Young, the alligator wasn't too thrilled about the company.
"He had snipped at a guy and his dog that walked by," Young said.
Young responded to the call and caught the gator with his first attempt using what's known as a control pull.
"It's used for K-9, and -- in this case -- it worked for the alligator," he said.
The only people who were not fazed by the find at all were a few fishermen who happen to be from Florida.
"We saw the little one that Animal Control caught, but there is a big one back there too," said David Melrose.
Sherry plans to be on the look out for other possible released reptiles. For now, she's placed the alligator at the visitor center, in a trash can, with a little water and heavy weight on top -- just in case it tries to escape overnight.
"This is about as good as we could do, not being prepared to house an alligator," said Sherry.
On Thursday morning, a local herpetological society will take the gator and get it ready for adoption.
"As much as my daughter has wanted a pet alligator," says Sherry. "I'm not taking this alligator home."

I moved back to Los Angeles this past year after living in New York for 17 years. I've been wanting to shoot a personal project for some time now but just never got anything going that I was really excited about.
Living by the beach I started noticing some fantastic subjects while on walks with my dogs.
Instead of carrying my Canon 5D around I began shooting portraits with my iPhone. All of a sudden I had series going without the fuss of a production AND I got to know some great people in my neighborhood.
This book was photographed and manipulated completely on the iPhone. These little cameras take beautiful pictures. At least I think they're beautiful.
I hope you do too!
