The Anasazi Trilinos package makes heavy use of templates, which makes it nearly impossible for the python interface to track it identically. Anasazi classes are templated on one or more of the following parameters:
<ScalarType, MV, OP>
where ScalarType is a primitive data type specifying the floating point representation of the eigenproblem, MV is a multi-vector class and OP is an operator class. All Anasazi classes are templated on <ScalarType>. Some are templated on <ScalarType, MV>, and some are templated on all three parameters.
Currently, PyTrilinos.Anasazi supports only one interface, to Epetra. Thus, the corresponding concrete C++ instantiations are on:
<double, Epetra_MultiVector, Epetra_Operator>
These are indicated in python by using the Anasazi class name and adding the suffix Double for ScalarType-only templated classes, or the suffix Epetra for any of the other templated classes. So, for example:
>>> from PyTrilinos import Anasazi >>> eig = Anasazi.ValueDouble() >>> print eig 0+0j >>> bSort = Anasazi.BasicSortEpetra() >>> print bSort <Anasazi.BasicSortEpetra; proxy of <Swig Object of type 'Anasazi::BasicSort<double, Epetra_MultiVector,Epetra_Operator > *' at 0x6eef50> >
An additional layer of abstraction is provided so that these suffixes need not be remembered or used. Since there is currently only one interface, these suffix-less class names are essentially aliases for their longer-named counterparts:
>>> eig = Anasazi.Value() >>> bSort = Anasazi.BasicSort() >>> print type(eig), type(bSort) <class 'Anasazi.ValueDouble'> <class 'Anasazi.BasicSortEpetra'>
In the future, if additional interfaces are supported (for example, a NumPy interface), then the requested interface will be inferred from the constructor arguments, if possible. For those cases where this is not possible, we will also provide type-specification capabilities that are similar to NumPy.
A second difference between Trilinos Anasazi and PyTrilinos.Anasazi is that any methods that expect a
as an argument, where object is of any type, will take a python object of corresponding type, without the reference-counted pointer wrapper.
The Anasazi.Eigensolution class has been changed such that the attributes Evals, Evecs and Espace have been changed to methods Evals(), Evecs() and Espace(). Evals() returns a numpy.ndarray of type complex double rather than a wrapper to std::vector<Anasazi::Value<double> >. Also, the Evecs() and Espace() methods return Epetra.MultiVector objects. Currently, index is still an attribute, and is a python list-like object containing integers. (The other attributes must be implemented as methods in order to facilitate the type conversions.)
You can create an Anasazi.Value object if you wish, although it is not very functional. It has a __str__() method so that you can print its value.

TED-MED and Dr. Richard Besser Host a Candid Chat about the 1 in 3 American Children Who are Obese
Quick Stats About Childhood Obesity
- Nearly 1 in 3 children in America are overweight or obese
- 8.4% of children 2 – 5 years old are obese
- 17% of children 6 – 11 years old are obese
- 20.5% of children 12 – 19 years old are obese
This afternoon, Dr. Richard Besser hosted a conversation on Google+ Hangouts as part of TED-MED to discuss childhood obesity. Dr. Besser is a pediatrician and the Chief Medical Editor at ABC News, and the author of Tell Me the Truth, Doctor, a comprehensive health guide that will both inform and surprise as he deciphers fact from fiction for nearly 70 confusing medical questions.
Dr. Besser assembled a discussion panel for today's session, including:
- Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, President and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
- Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association
- Don Schwarz, Health Commissioner and Deputy Mayor for Health and Opportunity, City of Philadelphia
- Elissa Epel, Professor, UCSF School of Medicine
- Lisa Simpson, President and CEO, Academy Health
The group began by talking about stress and the effect it has on health, both in children and adults. Stress is biologically potent and causes us to overeat sweets. Research shows the combination of stress and overeating is "the most dangerous combination," Elissa says. One of the challenges the group agrees on is taking the research and putting it into practice. Very little is happening so far to create actionable programs that make a difference.

If money talks, Mississippi teachers say their checks have been silent for several years. Now, a pay increase could be coming.
Speaker Philip Gunn said, "Putting money in the classroom is where we think the rubber hits the road."
The problem is, some Mississippi teachers are hitting the road due to the lack of money.
"If we're going to increase the quality of the performance of our children, we've got to make sure they've got good teachers. So we do want to encourage the best and the brightest to go into the field of education. Getting our base salaries up is a starting point for that," explained Gunn.
2007 is the last time teachers got an across-the-board raise. Meanwhile, Frank Yates at the Mississippi Association of Educators has watched as our neighboring states keep bumping wages up. He believes it's a contributing factor to Mississippi's teacher shortage.
"If you can go 20 miles a day, even 40 miles a day to another state and you can earn 5,000-8,000 than you can in Mississippi, at some point you're more likely to take that leap," described Yates who serves as the association's executive director.
Yates says those teachers lose hope when they don't see any new money coming from the state year after year.
"It's not so much attractive as it is survival," Yates said.
Governor Bryant has been a strong supporter of merit-based pay since taking office. It's being used in a few districts as part of a pilot program. Speaker Gunn isn't opposed to the system but says it will take time to sort through it.
"I don't want them to get caught not having an earned pay raise or a legitimate pay raise that they deserve just because we haven't figured out who the small number of bad teachers are," Gunn said.
That's why he wants to look for the funds to make across the board raises possible this year.
"If we're demanding more. I think we should pay them more," said Speaker Gunn.

Pornographer Larry Flynt Calls Palin's Down Syndrome Son 'Brain Dead Vegetable'
Following in the footsteps of the liberal website Wonkette, pornographer Larry Flynt called Sarah Palin's Down Syndrome son Trig "brain dead - a virtual vegetable."
Such was reported by Britain's Independent Friday:
It's hard to keep him focused on this subject, or any subject. His conversation skids about. He doubts Barack Obama would cheat on his wife because: "You ever looked at her? If he ever cheated on her she'd kick his ass. You know they may be black but they've got a very stable family." Then he says, apropos of nothing: "Sarah Palin is the dumbest thing. But I made a fortune off of her. [He made a porn film called Nailin' Palin, based on her]... She did a disservice to every woman in America. She knew from the first month of pregnancy that kid was going to be Down's Syndrome. It's brain dead. A virtual vegetable. She carries it to all these different political events against abortion, she did it just because she didn't want to say she'd had an abortion. How long is it going to live? Another 12, 15 years? Doesn't even know it's in this world. So what kind of compassionate conservative is she? I don't think anybody will want her near the White House." I am so thrown by the unpleasantness of all this I don't even interject.
What an idiot.
Due to advances in medical technology, Down Syndrome offspring lead very full lives in America today. As reported by About Down Syndrome:
In l929 the Down Syndrome lifespan was only 9 years. It has greatly increased over the past 80 or so years. Today, people with Down Syndrome are living well into their 50's and 60's. Not only do they live longer, but they live happier, fuller and healthier lives.
Up until the 70's or so, the majority of people with Down syndrome were still institutionalized. In these institutions they were left to themselves. They did not have the opportunities many people with Down syndrome have today. The health care of these institutionalized people was not anywhere near what it is today. Twenty five years ago a person with Down syndrome was only expected to live about 25 years. Today, due to drastic advances in medicine, they are living well into their 50's and 60's. Ultimately though the lifespan of a person with Down syndrome depends on any medical conditions he or she may be living with...Generally, many adults with Down Syndrome live happy and full lives. They hold jobs, get married and with the help of family and caretakers they are often able to live fairly independently.
It appears given the facts the person who's brain dead is Flynt.
Wouldn't it be nice if the ignorant weren't given such a platform to speak their nonsense from?
Of course, magazines, newspapers, radio stations, and television networks would have a hard time creating product if that were the case.

The Palins should sue for slander. I know it's very difficult for a public figure to win such a suit, but I think a fair minded judge should rule that such cruel attacks on a defenseless child for the purpose of trashing his parents is out of line.

Here's a better play . . .
Submitted by Galvanic on Sun, 05/29/2011 - 11:45am.
Just let the various disabilities associations respond.
Meanwhile, Palin should make her own public service commercial, opening with Flynt's quote (preferably with a photograph of him at a Democratic event) and proceeding with a very calm and informative explanation -- from the parent of a Down's Syndrome child -- about the misconceptions of the condition. Emphasize the productive lives that Downs Syndrome people can have with a lot of love and a little understanding from everyone.
Once she starts airing that, the Democrats won't one dime from Flynt -- they won't want to be associated with him..

Submitted by Blonde on Sun, 05/29/2011 - 1:15pm.
Because there's nothing that the Obama administration can do about it.
Palin tweets "death panels".....and the phrase, as well as the idea, enter the lexicon. She (and Andrew Breitbart) are demonstrating, on a daily basis, the insanely liberal bias of the media, to those who had never given it a thought.
She occupies a unique position in American politics. Both the far left and the squishy RINO's fear her. As well they should. But should she choose to run, I'll back her (in the absence of Allen West, which is, alas, a long shot).

then Media Matters right now is running articles condemning him. I just checked and there were none. The previous things that have spewed out of Larry's mouth have been ignored as well Remember this is the investigative reporter that claimed:
- George Bush fathered a baby and got the woman an abortion in 1971
- David Vitter's phone number was on the DC Madam's phone list.
In general, progressives refer to him as "one smart man".
And here is another friendly article, by Media Matters:

Submitted by Blonde on Sat, 05/28/2011 - 7:29pm.
How can anyone put a price on that?
I have a friend whose brother has Down's. He's lived independently since he was in his early 20's, has held down a job for all that time, bought his own townhouse, and travels the around the world, pursuing his passion, scuba diving. Granted, he's very high functioning, but where would someone draw the line with an unborn child? Had the diagnostics been available when he was in utero, then, as now, there is no way to measure the level of retardation (nor would his mother have considered aborting him). He's been a joy to their family for forty some years now, and I always look forward to being invited to a family gathering so I can see what he's up to....because for him, life is merely an adventure. And the joy of it, as you said, seems to be infectious.
So what's Larry's point? Abort all Downs babies, just because? That's loathesome.
The Palin's obviously take great joy in their youngest son.
This hateful man is living the life he deserves. Karma's a bitch, Larry.....I hope you get all that you deserve in your life.

Larry Flynt -- Democrat
Submitted by Galvanic on Sun, 05/29/2011 - 11:33am.
FLYNT: " . . . You know they may be black but they've got a very stable family. . . "
They don't even know when they are being racist.
It's reminiscent of Biden describing Obama as "articulate," and Harry Reid saying that Obama can turn on the black dialect whenever he wants to.
Or Boxer getting chewed out by the President of the Black Chamber of Commerce when she implied that he should align his position with the NAACP on green jobs.
It's what some observers of race relations term the ' poverty of low expectations."

Getting Perspective on Your Big Data
As we see it here at Layer 7, there are two big problems with Big Data:
1. There's just so much of it that it's easy to lose sight of the byte-sized trees in the petabyte-sized forest
2. It's locked away in every recess of the enterprise – from applications to relational databases, to non-relational databases, to in-memory caches, public clouds, Hadoop clusters etc.
Data growth and diversity have made data access harder. But data access is the foundation of mobile app development, anything to do with the Internet of Things (IoT) and all kinds of Big Data analytics. Given this need for data in the face of access complexity, it didn't come as a total surprise to see some of the most innovative Layer 7 customers start using our API Gateway technology as a novel data access, aggregation and presentation solution. As our resident IoT expert Holger Reinhardt pointed out to me: they are using our products to build highly-customized "lenses" across their distributed data backends. To me, this characterization is perfect because what these customers are looking for is perspective on their data. A lens gives perspective with focus.
Now, a Layer 7 API Gateway is more than just a data integration solution. Our technology has several unique features that make it ideal for collecting, composing and presenting data. First, we can talk to all kinds of data sources natively. That wasn't easy to achieve and it's something we developed over many years. Second, we can represent the source data as a RESTful API. Even better, we can dynamically generate a virtual API view for a specific user, app, partner etc. The API then becomes the entry point for accessing the aggregated data. Third, we can add fine-grained access and protection policies that ensure only authorized consumers get visibility to specific slices of data, while also protecting the data sources from attack and misuse. When combined, these capabilities give organizations a way to focus on just the information that is relevant to a particular mobile, IoT or Big Data analytics project and then share selectively with an app, cloud service, developer or partner.
A data lens is born!

Oceania Exclusive tours are available for a specially selected number of tours in almost every port we visit, in every corner of the world.
Riga, the capital of Latvia, was founded more than 800 years ago and has now grown into the biggest city in the Baltic States, with a population of nearly 1 million. The last 15 years of independence and two years as a member of the European Union have brought great changes and development to the city and to the country itself.
During the city tour you will have a chance to discover the history of Riga on foot. You will get acquainted with the 13th century St. Peter's, St. George's and St. John's churches and walk through the medieval John's yard. In the Old Town you will also see the medieval dwelling houses known as the "Three Brothers" and the Large and Small Guild buildings. The tour will take you to the center of the Old Town - the Dome Square, where you will see the magnificent Dome Cathedral.
The bus will take you through the boulevards of Riga's city center with its fine examples of Art Nouveau architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. You will pass by the symbol of Latvian independence - the Freedom Monument, which was erected in 1935 during Latvia's initial period of independence and was at the heart of the Latvian freedom movement in the late 1980s. During the tour you will also have a chance to see the architecture and lifestyle of contemporary Riga.

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Some Kinds of Red Wine May Not Trigger Migraines
June 20, 2012 -- Many migraine sufferers find that the pleasure of a having a glass of red wine is soon followed by the pain of a headache. Now a small new study suggests that when it comes to migraines, some types of red wine may be more likely to trigger a headache than others.
"My suggestion is the more tannins the wine has, [the] more migraine attacks it triggers," says researcher Abouch V. Krymchantowski, MD, PhD, of the Rio Headache Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in an email to WebMD.
Tannins are flavonoids in red wine that give it a drying, sometimes puckering quality. The more tannins a wine has, the more it will dry out your mouth after you sip it.
No one is quite sure why red wine may trigger headaches, but some studies have shown that tannins may boost production of the brain chemical serotonin. Changes in serotonin levels may trigger migraines in susceptible individuals.
Krymchantowski asked 40 patients at his headache clinic to try an experiment. The patients had said their migraines were triggered by drinking red wine.
He gave them half-bottles of four different kinds of wine: a malbec, a tannat, a cabernet sauvignon, and a merlot. All the wines were from South America. The malbec and the tannat were high in tannins, while the carbernet and the merlot had lower tannin levels. He asked people to wait at least four days after drinking one of the half-bottles before they tried another.
Thirty-three patients completed the study. Nearly 90% had at least one migraine attack within 12 hours of drinking one of the half-bottles of red wine. About half of the people in the study had at least two migraine attacks after drinking the various reds. About a third of patients got a migraine after every half-bottle. Four people didn't get a migraine after drinking any of the wines.
Among the 18 patients who had at least two migraine attacks after drinking the red wines, Krymchantowski says the wines with the highest tannin content, the tannat and the malbec, were the most likely to have been the apparent triggers of those attacks.
The study was presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Headache Society in Los Angeles.
Is the Red Wine Dilemma Solved?
Does that mean people who love red wine but fear it may bring on a headache should just stick to a cabernet or merlot? Alas, the answer is not so clear cut.
Krymchantowski says cabernet sauvignon wines from France, for example, have much higher tannin levels than any of the wines he tested from South America, making it tough for consumers to compare wines grape-to-grape if they come from different countries.
Headache experts who reviewed the study for WebMD praised the research for looking into something that's a common problem for patients, but one that's had very little attention from science.

Remember Me
CAMBRIDGE, Md. (AP) — Congressional Democrats held a retreat this week seeking inspiration. But they left as befuddled as ever by an America that arguably likes their issues but not always the party.
This fall's elections seem likely to leave Democrats in the House minority, and may rob them of their Senate majority. Republicans hope to gain six net seats to control the Senate.
At a three-day retreat by the Chesapeake Bay, House Democrats struggled to explain this political landscape while also insisting the public supports their agenda on immigration, income, women's rights and other priorities. Friday pep talks by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden did little to solve the riddle.
WASHINGTON — It is easy these days to imagine that one is living in a fairy tale, albeit a dreary one.
In fairy tales, as in Washington, things are true that can't possibly be — and what is not true can be defended by tilting the facts a certain way and catching the light just so.
Objective truth, it seems, has gone the way of trolls, goblins and gremlins, by which one should not infer that Truth has taken up residence in the U.S. Congress.
The more we learn about Obamacare, the worse it gets for the American people. We have become almost numb to the parade of bad news that has followed last year's rollout of the President's healthcare legislation — the failed website, the millions of Americans who lost their health insurance or their doctor, the millions more who've seen their premiums and deductibles go up, the businesses that aren't hiring or are cutting hours because of the law's provisions.
Take the small business owner who wrote to me about having to tell his 35 employees that their insurance would be cancelled and that the cheapest replacement policies would include a 35 percent increase in premiums as well as a 33 percent increase in deductibles. Or the father of five who saw the cost of his family's insurance double under Obamacare. I've heard many similar stories repeated by moms and dads and small business owners across our state.
You all know of my slow descent into Facebook oblivion. I was resistant and claimed I would never be on Facebook and questioned what did I want or need to do that for. And then I created a Facebook account and hundreds of friends and thousands of hours invested in reading posts, hitting "like" and playing Words With Friends and Bejeweled Blitz later, I don't know what I ever did without it.
That is one thing I will never be able to say about "Flappy Bird."
"Flappy Bird" is a simple game in which users fly a small bird through a course of pipes. If the bird touches the pipes or the ground, it dies.
"Flappy Bird" was originally released for the iPhone in May but didn't become the top free iPhone app until mid-January, following a surge in popularity that seems to have kicked off in early December.
Center for Rural Affairs
On Feb. 7, President Barack Obama signed the Farm Bill into law in East Lansing, Mich.
The Center for Rural Affairs opposed the final Farm Bill that came out of the Conference Committee because the conference report stripped out bipartisan reforms, which passed both House and Senate, and would have tightened the definition of being "actively engaged" in farming. The current definition has been a loophole that mega-farms use to gain additional payments by defining passive investors as qualified farmers, even though those investors provide no real labor or management on the farm.
Not only did the Conference Committee leaders actually increase farm payment limits from $50,000 to $125,000 for the primary commodity program, they turned aside real reform passed in both House and Senate, to essentially create a commodity program that will provide unlimited payments to mega-farms, no matter how large they get, as long as payments flow to family members.
Conference Committee leaders have tried to lay claim to the mantle of reform. However, this Farm Bill will continue to provide virtually unlimited farm program payments to the nation's largest and wealthiest farms, which they will use to bid up land costs, drive their smaller neighbors out of business and bar the next generation of farmers from even gaining a foothold in farming. This is not reform, this is smoke and mirrors. We can, we must do better than this.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals held, in an issue of first impression, that class consumers' motion to consolidate their cases in state court "through trial" was a proposal for a joint trial requiring removal under the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA).
Hundreds of plaintiffs filed 10 class action lawsuits in Illinois state courts against Abbott Laboratories, Inc., alleging they were injured by the seizure medication Depakote. The plaintiffs moved the Illinois Supreme Court to consolidate the cases "through trial" and transfer them to one court. Abbott removed the cases to two federal courts, arguing that the motion triggered CAFA's "mass action" provision, which allows removal when 100 or more people propose to try their claims jointly.
The plaintiffs sought remand, arguing that their motion did not propose a joint trial because it did not specify how the trials would be conducted, other than proposing they all take place in one county. The plaintiffs contended that their motion simply requested that the claims be "coordinated" through trial, with the trial court deciding how to conduct the cases.
One trial court granted the plaintiffs' motion for remand, ruling that the plaintiffs were proposing only consolidated discovery and pretrial proceedings. The other trial court denied remand.
Affirming removal, the Seventh Circuit said that although the plaintiffs stopped short of explicitly requesting a joint trial, such a proposal can be implicit, particularly where the assumption would be that they intended a single trial. The plaintiffs' proposal specified that consolidation was "not solely for pretrial proceedings" and would facilitate efficient disposition "with the risk of inconsistent adjudication." The court noted that it is difficult to see how this consolidation could occur without a joint trial or an exemplar trial applying the legal issues to all cases. It does not matter whether the trial court ultimately decides to try the cases together, the court ruled, because the statutory question is whether a joint trial has been proposed.
The court also rejected the plaintiffs' argument that even if the motion proposed a joint trial, they filed it with the supreme court, which wasn't the forum in which the suits were pending, as required by precedent. The statute does not specify where a joint trial proposal must be made, but a reasonable conclusion is that it must be made to a court that can grant the proposed relief, the court said. The supreme court can do so because it has the power to decide where the cases will ultimately be litigated, the court concluded.

The busiest shopping day of the year is three days away and crooks will target people who don't use common sense. So lock your doors, keep gifts out of plain sight and know your surroundings.
But the Collier County Sheriff's Office showed us some secrets you may not have thought about to keep your holiday gifts away from a Grinch trying to steal Christmas.
For Gary Brecka, Black Friday is a can't miss yearly tradition.
"I'm very excited for it, it's a little thing I do with my daughter every year, I take her Black Friday shopping," he said.
The endless bags and stocked up carts will be all over. But every gift won't make it back home with their rightful owner.
"I hate to say it, but this is the 21st century and those things happen," Brecka said.
Thousands of residents will be out and about throughout Southwest Florida come Friday.
The Collier County Sheriff's Office is reminding shoppers as much as they wait for these deals - so do thieves.
"It's like window shopping. I see a Best Buy bag in your car or Dillard's, or another bag, I'm liable to look in there and take it," said Ray Erickson, with the sheriff's office.
Locking your cars and keeping money tight to your body are always a must; but they aren't the only helpful hints - especially for those shopping at night.
"I would watch what you're doing behind the wheel, especially when you get into these confined spaces," Brecka said.
"Getting around town, being safe when you're driving around - being aware of what's going on around you and don't put yourself in a compromising situation," Erickson said.
"I wouldn't make multiple trips to your car, put things in your trunk where people can't see them and then go back in and start shopping," Brecka said.
The county will increase patrol in shopping areas over the next month.
One way they're going to do that is with their portable observation system here, know as the Sky-Watch, which allows deputies to sit 25-30 feet in the air watching shoppers.
They can even scan license plates from in here--giving them eyes from all over.
"It's having great eyes and we got a 360 degree view up there and it's well worth it," Erickson said.
They're hoping to deliver a safe and successful holiday season for all.
"Help people out when you can and pay attention to what's going on around you," said Erickson.

Here's a good reason to retire down south. It appears people who live in sunnier climates may have a lowered risk for stroke.
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham analyzed 5-year survey data on more than 16-thousand adults. The scientists asked participants about their health status every 6 months... Then compared the information with a NASA program that calculated participants' sunlight exposure.
The greater the sun exposure -- the lower the stroke risk.

Since then I call out "Rachael" whenever I sense her near me. She hasn't materialized for me in years, yet I will feel her essence around me quite frequently. There is no reason for her to "show herself" when she understands that I recognize her presence.
Just because you cannot see angels... doesn't mean they aren't nearby. Still, it is nice to get a sign or be given the treat of a visitation. When you are open to the possibility, it is more likely to happen. I also understand wanting to know a name. Ask An Angel columnist Eileen offers advice: How to Discover Your Guardian Angel's Name.

I agree with the comment of those who have gone on. My momma, is always in love with the angels, statues and has so many symbols. I on the other hand feel like they are around and my body lets me know. A touch on shoulder like or feel of hovering around me. Smell that is familiar and yet not. Maybe those before or a angels. I don't have all the answers but since childhood always have been there. You almost feel like a alien sense of separation from the rest.(or crazy) You just dig deeper.

Hi Eileen! Wonderful article! As an angel advisor myself I find that you are right on about often not getting names of angels for people. In fact, I would say that happens more often than not. That is true for my personal experience as well. Years ago when I had my first reading, I asked the psychic for the name of my spirit guide. She received the very clear message that it was not for her to tell me. And now, I am grateful for that because I made the discovery on my own!
Thanks for the wonderful work as always! Lots of love!
- February 26, 2010 at 12:57 pm(6) Audra says:
Great information Eileen! It's easy to worry that if you don't have the name of your angel then you aren't connecting with them. But no matter what your angels are there guiding and supporting.

Thank you Eileen and About.com (healing) for this great article. It is so insightful and clear. I have already re-read it a few times and glean new information with each reading. Again, Thank You!

Can angels communicate with us through dreams? I tend to "see" a lot of things in my lucid dreams. So, is that how I am wired, through astral projection?

Gee, me 2! i used to have dreams about people dying. i remember one that still makes me close to tears. we lived with my moms grampa but someone died from cancer in a different state that was a close cousin. we had to leave that day and we got there by night. the next day as me and my mom got ready 2 take a bath (i was still really young at the time) i told her that grandpa talked to me and he wanted her to know that he was alright and he went quickly. she kept on insisting i meant MY grandpa, but i was adement. i still remember the dream. it made me cry so hard (i'm one of those people who sometimes cry in their sleep). anyways i was in a room that was completly white and 4 some reason he was in a buisness suit and carrying a case he told me to tell her that and then just dissapered. even though at the time i was still really young i realized something was really wrong and started to break down… i never saw him again. the next day my mom got a call saying he was dead. anyways i had another dream about my dog getting stampeded by a big, huger than trees polar bear and the next day i found out he got hit by a bus. that was the last death dream i've had (luckily) although i have recently got my tarot cards read by a proffesional psychic and she said i had psychic powers and they would get better as i got older. so anyways i know what you mean…

wow i have all four claires too .I've been growing a connetion with my angels for months now,though I never had to read things like this to learn how to connect with them,it all just came naturally, must be cause im so open minded?and the names that they told me were displayed in different ways for each angel.Also I can sense whos there at the moment by a unique presence. I have five guardian angels,but I dont understand why so many?One of my guides whos called "Milenko" said that "were all here for you for different reasons". anyway love the artical,it should help alot of people connecting with there angel/s .

I have just received my Angels name! I came online to try and find any meaning behind the name and stumbled across your article. This is very honest and direct advise. Thank you.
There is so much rubbish on the web. I would recommend this article to anyone.
I have been calling on my angel for the past four years, I have now made it a habit to always call on my angel when doing any kind of energy work, including meditation. Just last week (when I had not asked) my angel showed herself in the form of a visual symbol. I have just finished a meditation and I had a sense of knowing to ask my angels name, so I did and I got an answer!
I have been through stages of yearning to know her (I actually see my angel as androgynous but I often to refer to her in the feminine) name and asking pleadingly, I found this did nothing to help, and if anything seemed to scare her away. So I would say call on your angel regularly, give thanks, and be patient, when the time is write they will let you know.
Love and light,

Amazing! So happy to see so many of you getting help from this!

Thank you Ellen! That was great advice now I at least have a vivid idea on how to start communication with my guardian angle(s) I believe that you can have more than one guardian angle is that so?
- July 18, 2012 at 4:22 am(16) Charlene Neil says:
I knew a very spiritual person once, and the day I met her she took a step back and gasped. She told me she'd never met a person before that had so many guardian angels. A few days ago I started making contact. I love water, went to stand over a river, and asked my angels to send me feathers. One feather for each angel. As I started walking back, hardly 10 steps away, 5 feathers were laying before me.
I sometimes hear their voices whisper in my ear, especially when there's danger.

The Broncos signed former Chargers OG Louis Vasquez in the first hour of free agency on Tuesday.
Denver Broncos: 2013 team needs
We highlight the top three needs on offense and defense for the Denver Broncos, and take a look back at their 2012 draft class.
Broncos tag OLT Clady
As expected, the Broncos placed the franchise tag on OLT Ryan Clady, the team confirmed Friday.
Lattimore hopes to inspire during incredible comeback
South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore isn't letting a gruesome knee injury slow him down en route to his path to the NFL.

The Broncos fired secondary coach Ron Milus and promoted Cory Undlin to the position.
Chargers hire McCoy as head coach
Mike McCoy is staying in the AFC West and will become the new head coach of the Chargers.
Ravens rally for playoff win in double OT
Baltimore's Justin Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal 1:42 into the second overtime Saturday to lift the Ravens to a 38-35 victory over the Broncos in the AFC playoffs.
Friday injury report for divisional playoffs
Here is the Friday injury report for the divisional playoffs, showing to what degree injured players participated in their teams' practices.
Middle of 'D' in 2013 a question mark for Denver
Age and contracts of the Broncos' starters at defensive tackle and middle linebacker could lead to a new group in the middle in 2013.
Key matchup: Ravens WRs vs. Broncos pass defense
To pull off an upset on Saturday afternoon, the Ravens need WRs Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin to be on top of their game.
The Denver Broncos are without slot receiver Brandon Stokley and defensive end Robert Ayers for their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.||||||| Ayers missed practice all week following the unexpected death of his father.
Aside from one shining moment, Ayers had a forgettable rookie campaign for the Denver Broncos.||||||| A first-round pick out of Tennessee and the 18th overall selection by the Broncos a year ago, Ayers recovered a fumble and returned it a team rookie record 54 yards for a touchdown Nov. 9 against Pittsburgh. But he heads into his second season still looking for his first career sack. "Last year is last year and I've moved on from that," Ayers said Monday.
The Denver Broncos signed Ayers to a five-year deal Monday, leaving Knowshon Moreno, the team's top pick, as the only unsigned player from their 10-member draft class.||||||| Ayers was on the field before the evening practice session running sprints. He then headed into the locker room as his teammates made their way out. The Broncos used their 18th selection to take Ayers, a defensive end out of Tennessee. With the Broncos implementing a 3-4 scheme, Ayers will play a hybrid role as he alternates between the line and linebacker.
Ayers and Knowshon Moreno missed the official start of Denver Broncos' training camp in Englewood, Colo., on Friday. They're the first rookie holdouts in Denver since running back Tatem Bell showed up late in 2004.||||||| Ayers, a pass-rusher from Tennessee, was the 18th selection and Moreno, a running back from Georgia, was the 12th overall pick in the draft. Both remain unsigned.

But there's more, as they say on infomercials. "The Gershwins and Me" includes a newly recorded CD of Feinstein singing the 12 songs. (There are 24 tracks, actually; following the 12 songs are 12 brief spoken introductions. These are in the back, so you don't have to forward through them when you listening to the songs.)
I did not start listening to the CD until somewhere in the middle of the book, and I must admit that I found myself puzzled. The first track starts with four bars of "Strike up the Band" followed by a bit of one of the Preludes, then about 20 seconds of something I don't recognize at all. Next we get about a minute of what sounds vaguely familiar ("St. James Infirmary"?) followed by a snappy 15-second passage of the sort Bobby Short might suitably play as the intro to "Strike up the Band." And then, at 1:45, comes the actual song.
The text, at this point in the book, was talking about remaining true to the written music. (Especially interesting is Feinstein's tale of his struggles as the Gershwin's surrogate during the Boston tryout of My One and Only, during which he fought unsuccessfully to protect the integrity of the songs from Tommy Tune and Co.) On the CD, the music didn't sound like Gershwin. Nor does it sound like Feinstein playing Gershwin; when Michael plays Gershwin, his inner improvisations sound uncannily like things Gershwin might have improvised. This "Strike up the Band" left me puzzled, and the seven-minute "The Man I Love" didn't alleviate matters.
But that is a criticism of the bonus material; what's important here is the book itself. Feinstein has done a wonderful job, giving us a more helpful — and more accurate, at least through Ira's eyes — picture of the brothers than we have had heretofore.
What's more, the book is handsomely designed and produced, a veritable rhapsody in — well, the predominant colors are warmly friendly shades of blue, blue, blue. Loaded with illustrations, too, including some that are new to this longtime Gershwin-watcher. Most touching, perhaps, are some reproduced letters. Like one from George to Iz (short, I suppose, for Isidore, Ira's real name). The composer had arrived in London in 1923, to work on the West End musical Primrose. Disembarking at Southampton, he handed his passport to one of the men at the table, who looked up and said, "George Gershwin, the composer of 'Swanee'?"
"It took me off my feet for a second," scrawls the 24-four-year old composer — who had not yet written the "Rhapsody" or Lady Be Good — to his brother. "I felt like I was Kern or somebody." Another side of George — the real George — that we have never before seen.
(Steven Suskin is author of "Show Tunes" as well as "The Sound of Broadway Music: A Book of Orchestrators and Orchestrations," now available in paperback, "Second Act Trouble" and the "Opening Night on Broadway" books. He also pens Playbill.com's On the Record and The DVD Shelf columns. He can be reached at email@example.com.)

Paramo Cascada Waterproof Jacket Wms
- Our Price
- £200.00
Paramo waterproofs are made from hydrophobic fibres which get thinner outwards, the way that animal fur does. The fibres push any moisture, whether rain, condensation or sweat, into the gaps between them and force it outwards. This active moisture transfer means that there is no need for a barrier membrane and hence they do not have the "armour plated" feel of most waterproofs . They also breathe in muggy conditions when all other breathable fabrics don't. The result is clothing which will keep you dry in any conditions while being soft and comfortable to wear. The Cascada is an all round hillwalking jacket, but its comfortable feel means that you end up using it for lots of more casual activities. Integral rollaway hood with wired peak and volume adjuster, chest map pocket behind the front zip flap, hand pockets, adjustable cuffs. The best thought out waterproof jacket around, already a design classic. In a female specific fit.
Voted No. 1 Waterproof for Gear of the Year 2007 by Country Walking Magazine. Gold Award for Best Waterproof by walk the Rambler Association Magazine

- Paramo
- Who should use it - and why

The new and improved Common Application was officially released just one month ago. After a few years of discussion and input from guidance counselors, college admissions professionals, teachers and independent counselors, the folks at Common App listened and updated the essay prompts.
The new questions reflect the desire by colleges to know more about how students think and what they think about rather than what they've accomplished. That's because there are other parts of the application that focus on a student's achievements.
The new prompts allow students to focus more on their values and ethics. If you have attended any college information session you're likely to hear college admissions professionals talk about the essay as a way for the colleges to get to know the applicants, and they often suggest that students write an essay that is "authentic" – explaining what makes them tick.
I believe it's important for students to spend some time thinking about each of these new prompts and reinterpreting them to see which ones make the most sense, given their own personal life experiences.
When students complete the Common Application they have the opportunity to choose among five essay prompts.
Prompt 1: Some students have a background or story that is so central to their identity that they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
This prompt has been nicknamed "The 'Breakfast Club' Question." At first glance, the typical student response is, "Wow, this is so broad and I'm not really sure I have anything that interesting to say about myself." They usually think this prompt only applies to someone who has overcome a serious illness or a personal tragedy or has a unique family situation.
Things to think about as you try to understand this prompt:
What is central to your identity?
Think about "defining characteristics" – what are a few adjectives that people would use to describe you? Which ones are the most interesting?
Is there a good anecdote or story to illustrate one of these defining characteristics?
Are there stories you can share that demonstrate a lesson learned? Describe how something affected you or allowed you to be reflective.
This essay could be a good opportunity to share some of your values, but be sure to let them know how they came to be so important to you and why they are so central to who you are.
Do your best to "think small" – explore something in detail and don't give a chronology of your life. Your essay will be much more intriguing and stronger if you focus on a single event, a conversation or a moment in time.
Next week: Thoughts on Common App prompts 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Oscar Pistorius sorrow over shooting of girlfriend
2:58pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News
PARALYMPIC star Oscar Pistorius has said he is 'consumed with sorrow' over the death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, who he shot dead at his home a year ago.
The six-time sprint champion faces trial next month for the murder of the 29-year-old model and reality TV star, whose mother June was brought up in Blackburn.
Pistorius, 27, a double amputee known as Blade Runner, denies the charges and says he shot Ms Steenkamp three times accidentally, thinking she was an intruder at his home in Pretoria, South Africa.
Pistorius' trial is due to begin on March 3s. Ms Steenkamp's family said last week that her mother June would attend the trial.

"I was old enough to drink in New York, because you could drink at 18 in those days. And I came into Sardi's and had a drink and looked around at these walls. And I said, 'Wow, it looks like the Brown Derby!'"
Schumacher knew from the Brown Derby. A fourth-generation California boy (his grandfather, for whom he's named, was a survivor of the 1906 San Francicso earthquake), he had once sold ladies shoes across the street from the famous Hollywood restaurant, and was well-acquainted with its famous Cobb Salad. But walking through Times Square that hot, sordid summer, he knew where he belonged.
"I thought, 'I was born to live here.'"
These, of course, weren't the first shows Schumacher had seen. By the time he reached Broadway, he had taken in dozens and participated in more. "I was going to ACT and seeing the shows that Bill Ball was staging there. They were life-changing. At the Curran, I saw Peter Brook's version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. I grew up with this fantastic exposure to dance and theatre."
His early commitment to theatre is handily illustrated in the story of how he spent his 16th birthday. "I got two things on my birthday," he recalled, "a driver's license and season tickets to ACT." So, the Friday after he got his license, he climbed in his car, drove to ACT and saw The House of Bernarda Alba."
These days, as the New Yorker that he always knew he'd become, he flies more than drives, checking on Disney's various and far-flung projects. Just prior to sitting down to this interview, he had been in Florida, meeting about Disney on Ice and Disney Live, which sends out new shows across the world on a regular basis. He journeys to Florida often, and has a history there. In his early days with Disney, when he was working in Disney's animation arm, he had an office right smack dab inside Disneyworld in Orlando. It had a large window through which visitors could see the Disney employees all working. "It was like an animation petting zoo," he said.Continued...
