Stay safe LH and everyone! So scary all this weather shtuff lately… :(
I can't wait till we hear more from LeakyCon! I'm so excited and also getting a little anxious about it :-P
Lady Hawke My DS wants to know what Little Hawke's favorite color is. Her second favorite would be helpful, too. He is making something for her for August. It's not big, but it is personalized. ;)
Off to try to get to sleep before too late. ;)
Morning all!
I have to go into a meeting shortly (likely to be one of those annoying ones where people just keep saying the same thing over and over and we just waste time going in circles, ugh), but hopefully I'll be able to get back over here once that's done. I know there had been other stuff I'd wanted to comment on when I had to cut my post short yesterday to head out with my dad and sister. :)
It is a beautiful morning here, not a crowd in the sky, but the little red warning on the TV keeps telling me the county south of us is under Severe Thunder Storm Warnings for all day until tonight. I think that must be wrong.
DEANIE, your DS is going to be sorry he asked about color. It is not as upfront as it seems, no simple blue and purple answer here.
Her first favorite color is teal, leaning to the blue side. Her second favorite color is violet, not true purple. It is a quagmire of potential wrong turns.
Her favorite dress is teal, leaning to the green side. So, I know anywhere in the general teal range works. So, there is close enough out there.
We have to take my MIL to the eye doctor this morning. She got new glasses three months ago but they wanted to see her back, I think to look at the state of her cataracts. Do I see a medical procedure ahead?
I need to take my daughter to get a photo ID and she needs a booster shot for tetanus that also includes some other shot she needs that they can do in combination. The nurse said to bring her in before our trips so she wouldn't go off and get hurt and be given a tentanus shot that would prevent them from giving her this "one shot kills two birds shot".
I need something to wear to the ball.
Morning All
Lady Hawke Was your sun over bright at sunset? We took pictures and a video but neither showed how unusual the sun was sparkling. I am use to tornado's in Indiana but here we are close to the AK line, then of course Oklahoma which is to rnado alley is closer too. It's weird to hear reports from the storm chasers on the news. Good luck finding the right ball gown. Maybe you will find something on sale since it is after all the school proms.
Asti No Mistic is not enjoying all the hours she has been working. She's taking it now while she can get it because of the problems with her retirement which are in the process of being resolved. If you have ever talked to Mistic, you know you do not have time to get a word in. That's good for me since I listen easier than I talk. Lol Have fun on your days off.
Lemon How nice you got to see Sirus again. I must be really out of the loop since I usually know when he's visiting.
I am getting excited for you all who are going to Leaky Con. It makes me wish my affairs were in order so that I could go too. We were planning on going to HP theme park this fall but atlas that also has fallen by the wayside.
Won It might be time to consider getting either live in help or someone to come by every day. There are better uses of your energy than doing housework.
Lady Hawke Thanks for the color info. It won't really help since what he has are the four basic Hogwarts colors of red, blue, green and yellow and the color part is really just an accent, not the majority of the item. Could you just tell me what hogwarts house she is in and he'll do the color accordingly. ;)
Graymayne If you have any pictures of the wands your DS has made, would you please post them at CC? My DS has retired and now feels the need for projects. ;)
Any one else who has a wand made by yourself or a family member, please post those pictures at CC, too. He's trying to see as many as possible in the hopes that he will get inspired to design some of his own. ;)
That takes care of the PSA's on behalf of the DS. ;)
Aloha! ;)
I am off to the Radiology Lab to have a PFT done… (pulmonary function test) Then an appointment with the Pulmonary Specialist. Going to be a bizzy, tiring day. BBL… :+/
DEANIE, she says is in Griffindor.
COOLG, When the storm really started perking at sunset I made a point of going out to look at the sunset. There was a tornado to the north of us and one to the south. What I saw was not as spectacular as what you described but did look similar to the photographs you took. The air had a green cast for awhile and the it turned yellow and pink.
My DS and daughter saw a funnel trying to form north of our house. They stayed out after I went in and said the clouds were beginning to make a swirl and were starting to suck other clouds into the swirl and then it moved off to the north.
DEANIE, after weeks of absolute silence in reference to the Birkenstock order I have received an email indicating they should arrive in around three weeks.
This cames after I have cancelled the order on several voice mails and by email to the company. They have never responded me in any way except now to assure me they are coming now that the order has been cancelled for weeks.
I have sent out another barage of emails and voice messages.
Okay, going to try to finish commenting on all I'd meant to yesterday.
LH, I haven't purchased additional tickets for Universal yet either, and I'm not sure if I'm going to. I had figured I would if we had people coming down to meet-up but not go to the conference, but now that Felipe is attending, I'm not sure if there's anyone else who's considering it. I may just play it buy ear and buy one once I'm down there (though I don't know that the discounted ones would be available; I'd probably just buy one at the Universal gate at that point) if I have down time after the conference (I suppose that will depend on whether I stay through Mon or Tues. I've never been to the FL Sea World, but the CA one was great; I went with my aunt and uncle when I was in high school. I know there's also a place in Orlando where you can swim with the dolphins. I think it's called Discovery Cove. It's probably pretty pricey, but I've always wanted to do that, so I'm highly tempted to treat myself. :)
LH, where did you go to find the average temps? Just one of the weather sites? I'm curious to see what it is for my area. If I had to guess, I'd say probably mid-80s, but I'd be interested to see if my perception is correct.
CoolG, thanks for the update on Mistic!
Asti, I hope you're enjoying your day at the flower show! I've been thinking of you as I sneeze and rub my eyes…my allergies are acting up like crazy today; I'd be a mess there, LOL!
Felipe, for the movie tickets, they've said that per their agreements with the theater, they can't publish the ticket info publicly. So, when they become available, they'll post a notice telling everyone to log in to the LeakyCon site to get the info. (I think they have to wait for an okay from the theater to do so too, which is probably why they haven't done so yet. People have been saying that AMC theaters are expecting to begin selling tickets in early June, so that's likely when Leaky will be able to open them.) As LH, said, they've generally been posting stuff on FB first (and also Twitter), but as Lemon mentioned, the tickets will probably be available to RockStars first, so either way, I'm sure you'll hear about it in plenty of time. :)
Lemon, the Anaheim ALA conference is June 21-26, 2012. When is RWA? That would be so awesome if they were around the same time!! Even if they're a week apart, if one of us stayed a few days after and the other arrived a few days early, it would be perfect!
Woo hoo, in further LeakyCon news, I just checked my email and had one from the Volunteer Coordinators asking if I'd like to be a General Aide. :) Now that I've said yes, they should send me something at some point with offers of specific shifts I can sign up for (in two-hour blocks, I believe they said). I'm excited – it's a good way to feel like I'm giving a little something back to Leaky in thanks for their awesomeness and also a good way to meet more people! Maybe I'll even be able to recruit some new poll visitors! There were a few people last time who said they'd pop in, but I don't think any of them ever did. :(
Finally, after another irate round of phone calls and emails the sandal place has acknowledged me and cancelled the order.
Ugh, that is so frustrating, LH! Did they have any explanation for their lack of communication until now?
Good afternoon, everyone!
LH I'm glad you stayed safe through the storms. Very trippy looking skies for you, though, and CoolG. That is SO frustrating on the sandal order! My gosh. I'm glad they finally acknowledged you, though.
Deanie that's very cool that your DS is also pondering making wands. I don't have a handmade one, just one from Alivan's. I love it, though. It's made from purpleheart wood and has a crystal at the tip and several small ones circling part of the base. If he starts making them, be sure to post pics on CC!
Won I hope the appointments go well. I'll be thinking of you.
Jen that's awesome that you'll be volunteering at the conference! I gave that some thought myself. I really enjoyed volunteering at my local writer's conference. I met SO many people and it was nice to feel involved and part of the "in" group behind the scenes. But I determined that when it comes to LeakyCon, I am just too selfish. You'll have to let us know where you'll be and when so we can come hassle, er, I mean, give you lots of support! LOL
I just checked the RWA National site. The conference next year is at the end of July, not the beginning. :( Dang it, I was really hoping that would work out. It seems like two conferences perfectly made to go together, one for writers and one for librarians! We'll just have to figure something else out, then.
If you end up deciding to go to the Sea World in FL like LH, I can attest that it is fabulous, or at least it was 25 years ago, LOL. I can only imagine it's gotten even better since then. The park struck me as larger than the CA one at the time, but it's hard to say for sure. The Discovery Cove deal where you get to swim with the dolphins is pretty pricey, I think around $350 per person? But it would be SO worth it if you're able. I was really hoping to add that to our plans as well, but with five of us at that price there was just no way. It would be a memory of a lifetime, though.
I did end up getting the four-day, two-park pass for us. I know for sure we're going on Sunday and Monday after LeakyCon, and I figured there would be at least one other evening of going, whether the first night we get there or after a wrock concert or something, pending what everyone else is doing. I want to spend as much time with our Leaky people as possible, so if no one else is going in, then I would probably stay with you guys most of the time, but it would give the family something to go do while I'm partying Castle style. :) I've been to Universal CA many billions of times, so that park isn't as big a draw to me as Islands of Adventure, even though I know it's got different and updated things since the last time I went to the CA one. All I really care about is HP World. I do love rollercoasters and hope to go on them all, but as long as I get plenty of time in Hogsmeade, I'll be happy.
I can't wait to get our movie tickets!!!! That's the one big thing left that I really want handled ASAP, plus I want to know the date for sure. I'm wondering if we really will get it for the midnight release or not. There hasn't been a whisper yet about moving the date back to the Tuesday/Wednesday midnight slot as they have in the past and I'm wondering if for this final one maybe WB is going to make us wait all the way to Thursday night into Friday. On one hand that would make me feel a little better, only because we're getting in Tuesday night and I'd be worried if our flight was late or the luggage got lost or some other catastrophe had to be dealt with that we might miss it (or wind up with terrible seats if we were not able to be there early enough in line to get good ones.) On the other hand, I REALLY don't want to wait any longer than necessary, LOL. I'm also very curious to see how they handle the ticket sales. I want to be able to buy my whole party's tickets at once to be sure we're in the same theater, but I also want to make sure all of us from the Castle are in the same theater, and at the speedy rate things tend to sell, I'm not sure that will happen. Plus, only three of us are RockStars, so by the time everyone else is able to buy theirs, the first couple of theaters could be sold out. :( So much to fret about! sigh
Hi Lemon! With the volunteering, once they release the full schedule, they'll send me a list of time slots for which they need help, and I can sign up for the ones I want. So, I'll be able to make decisions based on the schedule. I could either select something when there isn't programming that I'm dying to attend OR I could offer to help at something that I know I wanted to be at anyway. I'll just see what there is. But I do think it'll be fun.
Darn on the RWA conference. I'll have to see what my money situation is like then. Maybe I can work something out to come stay up near you for a day or two before or after ALA. :)
Yikes – at $350 I definitely won't be swimming with any dolphins, LOL! :(
Do you think they'll specify which theater we'll be in when we get the tickets? For midnight releases at the theater here, they don't even go by the theater number that spits out on your ticket. Everyone lines up and when they open the theaters, the line moves forward and they send the first group of people into the first theater, then when it seems almost full move to the second, etc. Once they get to the last theater, an attendant goes into the first one to determine how many open seats there are, and to have people shift to try to get open seats together. So, as long as you're in line with the people you want to sit with, you'll most likely end up together. It works pretty well. I just assumed that's how they'd do it. I'm not going to stress too much about where in the theater I'm sitting. I know I can go back and see it at home and sit wherever I want. For this, it'll just be about being in a theater full of die-hard fans. And I know I'm not going to want to leave the Wrock concert early just to stand in line. I'm still mad that I left early to get ready for the ball last time and missed Alex Carpenter setting his guitar on fire, LOL! :D
For $350 it had better include lunch with the dolphins.(or the dolphins as lunch).
Hi, Jen! That's very cool that you'll get to choose which time slots you want, that would make me feel more at ease about it for sure! Maybe I'll still think about it… I'd love to give back to Leaky for everything, as well, and it IS really so much fun to be involved. Hmmm.
That would be completely awesome if you could come up this way prior to or after your conference! And you'd be MORE THAN WELCOME to stay here instead of a hotel if you'd be comfortable with that. We always have LemonDrop bunk with LemonCharm when we have guests, so guests can have their own room. We got all the kids queen sized beds for that reason when we moved here. Her room even has a little office attached. :) The only thing I ever have to warn people about (aside from descending into Lemon Craziness) is a reminder about the cats in the case of allergies. But if you're not allergic to cats, do think about it, it would be great to have you here! If you are allergic to cats but would still like to come, there are several decent hotels very nearby. None of them are exactly stellar, but they're good for a couple of nights. Just let me know and we'll work it out!
Do double check the amount for the dolphin thing, it could very well have been less. That's just the number that sticks in my head, but my head is notoriously unreliable when it comes to figures. :) I'd hate for you to miss out on it based on my, possibly faulty, information!
Oh, that is a VERY good point about the theater! I didn't think of that, but because every theater inside the cinaplex is an IMAX there is probably no reason to designate theaters per ticket. Here, we only have one theater that's an IMAX one, out of 16 in the complex, and only two or three others that have the nice big screens. The rest are all much smaller theaters and smaller screens, so people definitely want the bigger and better ones. Our tickets are always based on which theater we get to go into, with the people who buy their tickets earliest getting the best ones. But you're right, that most likely won't be the case there. Good, one less thing to worry about! LOL
As far as seating goes, I'm with you on not caring as much about where we're at inside the theater because the main thing is definitely to experience it with all those rabid HP fans for the midnight release. In fact, depending on what times Leaky programming ends each evening, we might even be able to go back and see it again another night if the release is Tuesday into Wednesday… just a thought! LOL
However, I do have to say that for the midnight release of OoTP we were in one of the front rows, and it really did negatively impact my impression of that movie. Not that it's my favorite anyway, but because we were so close, any full screen shots of the actors' faces or things like that almost became comedic, because they were just SO huge that close up, plus it gave me a headache (which would be exacerbated by its being in 3D – I really wish they had not gone that route!), and a neck ache from having to lean my head back so far for 2 1/2 hours straight.
So I'll just hope that we at least get seats somewhere in the farther back section of the theater, though like you, I definitely don't want to miss any Leaky programming in order to just go stand in line for hours. I'm betting most people will feel the same way, so we shouldn't have too much trouble. Fingers crossed!
Oooh, I'm still mad at myself for ducking out of that concert early, too! sigh Well, we definitely learned our lesson, I guess. We know not to leave anything early even again! ;)
LOL, Ironsos! When I first saw your comment it reminded me that lunch is included in the price, but, um, NOT the dolphins AS lunch! LOLOLOLOLOL
Just ordered my Nerdfighter & Starkid t-shirts (I only had fridge magnets and buttons before, need the shirts for their performances!) but Potter Puppet Pals is sold out on a cease & desist from WB!!! Noooooooo!!!!! I wonder if they'll make any more before August (when the order goes into effect?) I REALLY wanted a Bother T! sob
Time to head home! I'll be back in a bit! but before I go I just wanted to mention, I've been wanting/planning to go to Discovery Cove for a long time. I have done some research and it's worth the price. It's all inclusive, meals, and you even get a ticket to one of the other Busch parks (SeaWorld, Aquatica water park, or Busch Gardens Tampa) "for the duration of your vacation" (I think it's a two-week max). Check out their website: http://www.discoverycove.com/ OH! And they're opening a new exhibit this summer!
Lemon, did you see my post a while back about the 2-D glasses Hank Green invented? They're for people who don't like 3-D movies…you put them on and watch a 3-D movie in 2-D! They'd probably be perfect for you! I'm on my phone right now, so don't have the link readily at hand, but I believe LeakyCon tweeted about them recently, so if you check their feed, you should find it, but if not, let me know and I'll get it to you after! :)
I have inadvertently made a decision on my House for LeakyCon. My daughter wanted feather extensions in her hair and I ended up getting them too. She has a white and black striped feather and a black one. I have a blue and black striped one and a skinny black one. They will last three to six months.
LH I need pics of those! I've never heard of feather extensions, I wanna see! Sounds like fun. I am NOT going to show my girls or I'm sure they will want them too, LOL. I'm surprised LittleHawke didn't go for Gryffindor red for one of them, though!
Jen, thanks. :) I remember you talking about those, and did see the Leaky tweet actually – when I was waiting impatiently all day for the not-a-real-update update, LOL. I actually don't mind the 3D-ness of it, I just don't think it adds to the movie in most cases. For example, in Pirates4, anytime there was a 3D effect, like sticking the sword straight out of the screen toward the audience, I just thought it looked lame. I did like the 3D effects they did at the end of OoTP, actually, I thought those were well done, so if it's like that all the way through it won't bother me as much. I thought they wasted it in HBP. Yes, it was cool in Slughorn's muggle house, but if they were going to do it in only one spot, IMO, it should have been the cave.
The only movie I have seen recently where I thought the 3D was both necessary and extremely well done was Avatar. It was so seamless and beautiful, it was amazing. But that movie was shot in 3D, which HP was not. I think that makes a difference in the quality of it on screen. Then I look at absolutely incredible movies like Inception, and all the amazing effects they employed, the richness of the film, the depth of the scenes, without a scrap of 3D anywhere, and wonder why anyone would mess with it. If Inception could be that spectacular without it, no one needs it. They just need to shoot well and get the effects right.
But what really bothers me about 3D, other than often looking corny, is the glasses themselves. I don't know if the 2D ones would be any better in that respect. I have a slight astigmatism in one eye which makes it really hard to focus in those non-prescription glasses. I can't look through binoculars with both eyes for the same reason. I have to close one eye in order to see. And with the 3D glasses, which usually are well-used, they're scratched and messed up, plus I find the film covering on the lenses darkens the movie. So for all of those reasons, they really bother me. The Real3D glasses, which look like RayBans (okay not really, but that sort of Risky Business style) and come new in packaging are a little better, but I still have a hard time focusing through them.
Anyway, thanks for thinking of me about that! I did look at them, I just don't know that they'll help my main problem. I probably need to go get prescription glasses again, but I am rebelling against it after paying all that money out for LASIK. sigh
Felipe you and Jen are making me wish all over again for unlimited funds, LOL. I so wanted to do the dolphin swim!
Evening all! We had quite a few showers today but we had to go food shopping, the fridge was bare. My DS has been fighting a cold that he picked up in Wales. We went to a large branch of our usual supermarket today and I found it really frustrating. They used to supply a particular type of tomato, on the vine, which had a really good flavour and a modest size, but suddenly the cherry tomatoes are all the rage and I detest the flavour. After that irritation the rest of my shopping just became a drag, the bigger the store the greater the choice, and the whole retail business just seemed completely silly. It was such hard work seeking out my own modest choices. I'll stick to the smaller premises in future. We went to that one because we needed to buy printer ink, CD wallets and two types of envelopes at a nearby store. That was a much better experience.
Deanie There is a photograph right now in my personal album which demonstrates my DS's approach to wand making. The wood, found in local woods and hedgerows, and left to dry for ages, is what dictates the end product. The only tools he uses are a saw and a knife to whittle the main body, followed by several grade of sandpaper. He frequently retains the bark for the handle and polishes the wand several times with a beeswax polish.
GRAYMAYNE, we have tomatoes on the vine here. They are really nice. I have only recently come to like tomatoes raw. Tomatoes on the vine and Romas are my favorite. I do not like cherry tomatoes at all and they do not slice for sandwiches or to stack on mozzarella cheese.
LEMON, my daughter did not have the choice of a red feather. We had a selection of primarily more natural colored feathers. Her black one starts at black and trails down to auburn on the tip. There was one orange feather but it wasn't a bright orange, more subdued, but most of the feathers were blacks and browns. I dug down and found the one that had the blue mixed with black and a long thin black one. Apparently, we are meant to be able to treat them like hair and shampoo them and brush them.
Did I miss something on my catch up? Do we know what theater we will be seeing the movie? Are all the screens IMAX?
I HATE 3-D glasses. PLEASE let it NOT be in 3-D.
I also took my daughter today to get her last boosters of tetanus, meningitis, and another one I can't say right now. Fortunately, two of them were combined so she had three shots in two. They said she might feel bad later but so far it hasn't hit. I wanted to get it done before the trips we are taking so she would have the immunization for tetanus for in case there were any accidents or cuts. The nurse said to bring her in before the trips because the tetanus shot had something else in combination with it that she needed and if she needed a tetanus shot away from home then they wouldn't be able to give her their version with the extra shot. So, that is one thing off my list.
I also tried to take her to get her photo ID. I took her birth certificate but not her Social Security Card so we have to go back. Sigh…
Found it! ;)
He is interested and w do know at least one acknowledged Pagan. I am sure that a wand made from one of our oak trees would be loved and appreciated. So I'm sending him out this weekend to collect a few acceptable specimens in the hope that one of them will dry without major cracking and be useable.
Our yard has quite a few oak trees and so does our land in Oklahoma. I actually named this house Silver Oaks. We can't get mail addressed that way, but it is our private name for it. ;)
Sweet Gum trees have great twigs and small branches, but as the name implies, they almost do not dry thoroughly because the sap is thick and gummy. We have a number of them here as well. They do have beautiful red foilage in spring, but the fruits (balls that are covered with little spikes) are huge pains, physically and metaphoricly. ;)
I got to chat with MM for a bit and she's not been able to drop by because she's been quite busy, working from home. Poor MM is swamped with work :-(
Deanie that's so cool! I wish I could get a handcrafted wand :-) I actually have some I've bought from Allivan's and from the WWoHP. I guess Allivan's is as handcrafted as I can get. I love wood work and crafts. My grandfather who lives in Argentina is actually a carpenter and he's made me thing before when I was a kid, but I didn't get into HP until a few months before moving to the US, around a decade ago, so he never made me a wand. I wonder if he could make me some wands and ship em internationally :-P Haha!
LH about the Cineplex in Universal CityWalk… There is only one IMAX screen and the rest are regular screens. The seats are super comfy and they even recline a little. I love that movie theatre. I hope they give us a special price for tix because they can be quite expensive there, especially the ones that require RealD 3D glasses… I don't remember exactly how much, but I saw Priest in 3D with my family the weekend before last, and the tickets were definitely over $10. I wanna say something like $13-$15? Not really sure though… I'll have to find out. But either way, I hope we get special pricing.
Won I hope everything went fine at the lab and doctor. Take care! :-)
Cool G I wish affairs could be all sorted out soon. It'd be so cool if you could come, and it'd be nice for you to take a trip for stress relief and fun too ;-)

OK, you know the drill. If you've read through our round-up of the best USB HSDPA wireless broadband modems then you'll have noticed a pattern. At this time your options when choosing a wireless broadband service are limited to buying a USB modem or a USB modem, and the Optus E1762 is no different. It's no bigger or smaller, no wider or slimmer, and like the modems we've reviewed from 3 Mobile and Vodafone, the E1762 features a microSD card slot that turns this modem into a mass storage device as well, though no memory is included.
The software needed to connect to the Optus network is built-in to the modem and with auto-execute when you plug the modem in for the first time. Our experience with this set-up was flawless; the three systems we tested the software on, it unpacked and installed with almost no interaction from us — no tricky questions to answer and no annoying registration. Though again, this is standard with all the services we've tested in the last six to 12 months.

PHOTOS And Video: Bravolebrities Share Behind-The-Scenes Twitter Pictures From Upfront After Party – The Real Housewives, Shahs of Sunset, And More
As we were flipping through all of tonight's photos from the Bravo upfront presentations, we noticed something missing: Joanna Krupa's engagement ring!
Joanna and Romain Zago have been on and off, but last we heard the engagement was back on. Romain is with her in NYC this week, so they're obviously still together.
There are more photos below of Joanna out and about in NYC this afternoon – again with no ring. She was also not wearing it at an event last night. The last photo we can find where she's sporting her rock is back at the beginning of March.
Joanna Krupa And Karent Sierra Discuss Real Housewives of Miami Season 3, Love Lives, And Who Should Be Fired!
With season three of Real Housewives of Miami still in limbo (I think we'll probably see the ladies again), Joanna Krupa and Karent Sierra are trying their best to get our attention! "We're waiting to hear," Karent confirmed of a possible season three.
Speaking to Celebuzz the new besties who were in LA for some Oscars-related event talked appearing on the show and what they're up to now.
"The only thing I do regret is that I had a little bit too much to drink during the season," Joanna admits. "When you're put with so many crazy people, aside from my friends on the show, it's hard!"
Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to any of the housewives on any of the Bravo franchises. I find that when the women aren't actual "housewives" yet, it even amps up the crazy. Let's test that theory, shall we?
Let's take Joanna Krupa from Real Housewives of Miami for instance. See through sweaters, drunken antics, and now…a sex prenup? Her on-again-off-again fiance Romain Zago reveals that there is nothing more important to his model wife-to-be than the pair's mattress mambo.
Are you looking for a little inspiration to help you stick to those weight loss resolutions? I don't know about you, but seeing Joanna Krupa frolicking on the beach, showing off her amazing bikini body is enough motivation for me!
The Real Housewives of Miami star splashed around in the water in her turquoise / mint bikini and then cozied up with her fiance Romain Zago at Miami Beach on New Year's Day.
The couple enjoyed a few days of fun and sun before they had to get back to work. Joanna Tweeted, "Really sad its my last nite with @romain_zago. The fun is over back to reality and work. Gone for a month to film top model."

US Cop's Arrest Seen as India's Revenge for Khobragade
By Arun Kumar | IANS - WASHINGTON
Published: 05th April 2014 10:12 AM
Last Updated: 05th April 2014 10:12 AM
Two US lawmakers asked Secretary of State John Kerry to demand India to release a New York police officer after a tabloid termed his arrest as New Delhi's revenge for the Khobragade affair.
Harlem Police Officer Manny Encarnacion, "who had accidentally left three bullets in the pocket of a jacket in his checked luggage" was arrested when he flew to New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport March 10, for a vacation with his wife Vida, according to the New York Post.
By Post's account a security officer at the airport snarked, "You guys like to strip-search our diplomats," as Encarnacion was arrested on felony charges under India's Arms Act of 1959 - punishable by anywhere from three to seven years.
The officer's remark was a clear reference to the Dec 12 arrest and strip search of Devyani Khobragade, India's then deputy consul general in New York "over visa fraud", the newspaper suggested.
However, State Department spokesperson Marie Harf Friday declined to comment "because of privacy considerations" beyond saying that it was "aware of the reports, obviously, that a US citizen has been arrested".
Asked if the US was afraid that the arrested person will "face any kind of retribution from the way that the Indian diplomat was treated" in the US, she repeated, "I just can't speak to this specific case" because of "privacy considerations".
"But obviously, we've said we want to get past some of the tensions that have been there over the past several months and move on," Harf said adding, "I think we feel like we've moved past this and hope the Indians have as well."
Asked if India has shown that they can be trusted, the spokesperson said: "India is a very close partner. Yes, absolutely."
However the lawmakers were less circumspect. "I would hope that India, a country that we have a good relationship with, would not stoop to the petty level of making a political pawn of this decorated NYPD cop and veteran," Senator Charles Schumer was quoted as saying by the Post.
"I've asked the State Department to get deeply involved here and ensure Officer Encarnacion gets swift and just due process," Schumer said Friday. "Anything less is unacceptable."
House member Peter King, according to the Post, called the arrest "outrageous" and said he, too, has sent a letter to Kerry.
"This excessive act by the Indian government is clearly politically motivated in response to the arrest of India's then-deputy consul general in December 2013 in New York for alleged visa fraud," King wrote to Kerry.
"It is critical that the State Department intervene," he wrote.
Encarnacion has been barred from leaving India until his next court date, April 19, the Post said.
According to the Post, news of the arrest left New York Mayor Bill de Blasio "troubled" while Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said his department is "staying very engaged with that issue in India".
The Post also cited Encarnacion's lawyer, Samarjit Gajendra Pattnaik, as saying in New Delhi Friday that the cop remains optimistic that the charges against him will be dropped.

Could Joe Hart return to Premier League action this weekend against Fulham?
Dec 20, 2013, 7:15 PM EDT
Tomorrow's edition of The Express is reporting Joe Hart will resume first-team duties in goal for Manchester City tomorrow against Fulham.
The Citizens take on 19th-place Fulham at Craven Cottage on NBCSN at 10am ET or live online at NBC Sports Live Extra.
Hart's poor start to the season led to his benching November 2nd and hasn't featured since.
The 26-year-old England international has only seen time in two Champions League matches during that span, including in a 3-2 win over Bayern Munich.
The move would certainly represent a risk by manager Manuel Pellegrini, with Costel Pantilimon deputizing strongly and the squad currently on a five-match unbeaten streak, including four wins.
During that stretch, City torched London foes Tottenham and Arsenal by huge scorelines.
(MORE: Premier League Preview: Fulham vs. Manchester City)
Despite the report, it's no guarantee he will see time. Last week before City's drubbing of Arsenal, The Mirror reported Hart would start. He only saw the bench.
With the change, Pellegrini risks upsetting the clicking chemistry of the current squad, something which managers often shy away from during positive stretches.
However, the City defense has also been exposed recently, with Pantilimon and company conceding six goals in their last three matches.
But much of the blame has no question been due to injuries and missteps in the defensive unit. The Romanian has hardly put a foot wrong since being called upon to replace Hart.
The Manchester City attack has carried the squad, scoring 19 goals over their last five games.

Probably nobody in the Golden Belt is under any illusion the drought is over. As we are well past the halfway point in wheat harvest, yields are all over the map. They tend to be much worse going west from Great Bend and fair to very good as you proceed east. Reports indicate yields less than 20 bushels per acre in western Barton County to some 60 bushel per acre fields in the east. These yields certainly provide a dramatic representation of where the snow and rains fell since the first of the year. Based on 60 bushel wheat, it ...
With wheat harvest almost over for the year, insects will possibly be on the move into your garden. One of the main culprits to watch out for right now is thrips. K-State Research and Extension Entomologist J.P. Michaud says that there is a healthy population of thrips in the wheat fields in the area. With harvest removing one of their food sources, your garden is one place they may go.
When it comes to pollinators, Kansas farmers and ranchers are creating habitat to boost their populations and harness these critters' value. With National Pollinator Week beginning today, U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is using the opportunity to promote pollinators, like bees and butterflies. Pollinators provide crucial assistance to fruit, vegetable, and seed crops, but many species are seeing their numbers fall. Agricultural producers across the nation work with NRCS to create ideal habitat for pollinators and increase populations in simple and significant ways.
Long hours, a flurry of activity, less-than-ideal weather conditions and work involving large machinery combine to make wheat harvest a potentially dangerous period.
Wheat harvest is underway in Kansas. Later than normal but the weather forecast should move it along nicely. Corn development is lagging although good progress has been made with the heat and rains many received. However, the lack of rain in the forecast and the high temperatures combined with corn behind in development sets the crop up, especially the dryland acreage, for a rough time during tasselling, silking, and grain fill.
As temperatures go up, bison get smaller.
Tomato plants are one of the most popular plants for any gardener to grow. Whether this garden is your first you have ever tried, or you have been growing your own vegetables as long as you can remember, tomatoes most likely are in it. With their popularity, and having a couple of questions come into the office lately, I decided to share a few articles by Ward Upham, horticulture expert for K-State Research and Extension this week for possible concerns with your plants at home.
Kansas Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Executive Director Adrian J. Polansky announced today that the nomination period for local FSA county committees begins on Monday, June 17th.
It's that time of year again when everything is growing, and people are looking forward to be rewarded for all of their hard work in the garden. With the unseasonal low temperatures this year, your garden might be a little behind normal, but with our recent rains, the weather warming up, and a little bit of care right now, your garden should be getting into the full swing of things.
For Kansans June, July and August are months when some of us return to our roots and visit family in rural communities across the state. Some go back to help with wheat harvest, others go home to spend time visiting with friends they have grown up with. For all it's a time to reflect and remember.
First here's wishing all the dads out there a Happy Fathers' Day. Since the wheat is rapidly ripening and harvest will soon be here, especially after the past week's heat, let's focus on something a bit more upbeat fathers, children, and agriculture.
Kansas State University's quarter-scale tractor design teams are the winners of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers' 16th annual International Quarter-Scale Tractor Student Design Competition, May 30-June 2, in Peoria, Ill.
The Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) will provide about $175 million in funding for up to 12.6 million additional acres enrollment this year.
I receive many calls during the year about tree health, so I tend to write about trees more than any other subject. Right now, many of the trees in the county are looking a little stressed. There are several different issues that your tree may be trying to handle right now, so to help your tree; finding out what is wrong is the first step to helping it stay healthy.
Some people have the mistaken idea that farmers and ranchers are harming our environment. You hear it everywhere: at the coffee shop, church, public forums, traveling, even in the grocery.
A team of Kansas State University librarians has received its second Project Ceres contract to digitize more than 70 years of Kansas agricultural history.
A U.S. patent was recently awarded for technology created by researchers at Kansas State University that improves the health and welfare of beef cattle and other ruminant animals suffering from lameness and following castration, dehorning and other painful but necessary management procedures.
School is back in session and in Barton County that means it's time for the Annual Kid's Ag Day for area fourth graders. The event takes place this Wednesday, Sept. 3, at the Brining Farm just west of Great Bend. This event has taken place now for over 20 years and works to improve the agricultural literacy of children in Barton County. Everyone from the Chamber of Commerce and area businesses to the Barton County Farm Bureau and area farmers help plan and lend a hand. FFA students from GBHS and Ellinwood bring their animals on their own ...
Imitation dairy products may account for nearly 70 percent of the items a shopper finds in the dairy case today. That's according to the latest data from the dairy industry.
As you drive around the county, you might notice that many trees are starting to look like we are already in fall though summer is still very much upon us. Leaves of area Elm Trees have turned brown, and some may be falling off, giving them a sickly appearance. In many cases, the reason for this is, Elm Leaf Beetles feasting on their leaves. Elm Leaf Beetles are a yearly concern when the second generation hatches about Mid-July. 2014 is no exception.
The Barton County Conservation District (Barton Co CD) board of supervisors will hold a Local Work Group (LWG) meeting at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 2, at 1520 Kansas Ave, Great Bend.
Kansas Farm Bureau President Steve Baacus and his wife Patricia, as well as Kansas Farm Bureau Executive Director Terry Holdren and his wife Natalie were special guests at the Barton County Farm Bureau annual dinner meeting held Friday evening, Aug. 15 at the Barton Community College Student Union.
While summer isn't quite over, everyone is turning to a fall schedule. If they haven't already, producers are planning and getting ready for the 2015 winter wheat crop and summer crops producers are starting to think about harvest. And many are already thinking about planting decisions for next spring. But there is one more crop plan underway in Kansas – the next crop of persons preparing for careers in some aspect of the agriculture sector.

Dublin Ireland's Why Go Bald Neon Sign – Retro Roadmapping Across The World
Posted on: April 4, 2012
You can take the Retro Roadmapping gal out of her natural habitat, but you can't stop her from looking for cool old vintage things and places, even when she's in…Ireland!
Though I was surrounded by buildings and statues that were so old they make my niche of a timeline (vaguely 1900-1970s) look positively new-born, I still could not help but snap a photo or two of something I'd consider Retro Roadmap worthy.
Like the Why Go Bald? sign in Dublin, Ireland!
Known as Mr. W.G.B. (Why Go Bald) he's the mascot of Universal Hair & Scalp Clinic. Built in 1962, it has been seen in the background of movies like "Educating Rita" and "A Man of No Importance."
At the end of the 21st century the sign was almost dismantled and dumpstered, but thankfully was restored in 1999 free of charge by Taylor Signs, the family owned company who originally built it.
Reported to be Bono's favorite Dublin landmark, I prefer the eloquent storytelling Tom Matthews (cartoonist for the Irish Times) as he describes his fondness for the sign throughout the years. Check out the video below from Storymap for his tales and a view of the animated neon landmark in action.

Unprecedented Vote: EU Parliament Trade Committee Rejects ACTAPublished on 21 June 2012 @ 2:38 pm
Intellectual Property Watch
By Monika Ermert for Intellectual Property Watch
In an unprecedented move, the European Parliament Committee on International Trade (INTA) today in Brussels passed a report recommending the rejection of the controversial Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA). Never before has INTA voted to reject a trade agreement negotiated by the Union.
With a vote of 19 to 12 (no abstentions) INTA members followed the recommendation of British MEP David Martin (S&D Party Group). Amendments from members of the conservative European Peoples Party Group (EPP) to opt in favor were withdrawn just before the committee vote which was watched by many observers in Brussels with Twitter buzzing about what is being seen as historic.
[Update: a website of reaction statements has been created by infojustice.org and is available here.]
If EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht had agreed, as he did in a last minute exchange last night, to take concerns relating to ACTA on board, the vote might have gone the other way, EPP MEP Daniel Caspary said in a press conference after the vote. De Gucht has asked for Parliament not to rush to condemn ACTA, but to wait for an EU Court of Justice ruling on the agreement.
Caspary said the EPP agreed that ACTA needed clarifications. Martin listed the vagueness of how "commercial use" would be defined and a potential role of internet service providers as deputy sheriffs as main concerns not addressed. Also sanctions for IP rights violations were seen as disproportionate.
Caspary said his party group still hopes to make ACTA a good agreement through changes or additional protocols, but Green Party Group Member Amelia Andersdotter said there is "no cure" for ACTA's sickness. Andersdotter described De Gucht's last minute attempt to push for a positive vote as lack of institutional respect and asked for the Parliament to be left alone for its plenary vote on 4 July.
Andersdotter and her colleague from the Liberal Party Group, Niccolo Rinaldi, spoke of a victory that showed that "citizens' voice might make a difference," as Rinaldi put it. Some 100,000 citizens had taken to the streets in February against the agreement.
French civil society group La Quadrature du Net co-founder Jérémie Zimmermann said after the vote that "victory was not assured," but "definitely at hand and much easier."
There still is a strong lobby for ACTA, and the plenary could still reject today's recommendation.

With a two-party system, and an entrenched media bias favoring the status quo, often it is difficult for less established candidates to have their views heard. As a duty to the country more than half of call home, The F Plus attempts to correct this oversight, and reads the words as written by three overlooked candidates for political office: A fundamentalist libertarian, a man with his own religion, and Basil Marceaux: A man who, even by F Plus standards, is completely unclassifiable. This week, we go way beyond the beltway, and start to wish more people used soap.

With the NHL and NHLPA still attempting to find traction in their fourth consecutive day of labor negotiations, the American Hockey League is in full force with 13 games scheduled for Friday night.
The Oklahoma City Barons have been beneficiaries of the lockout, as the club has been inundated with talent from the Edmonton Oilers, which includes Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Justin Schultz. In fact, Eberle, Nugent-Hopkins and Schultz are the top-three scorers on the team (Schultz is the leading scorer heading into Friday night, registering 15 points in 10 games).
Despite this newly acquired star-power, the Barons sit in eighth place in the Western Conference. On Friday night, they will look to improve that standing against the third place Abbotsford Heat.
In addition, there six divisional games taking place on Friday which will include: the Rockford IceHogs facing off against the Grand Rapids Griffins; the Connecticut Whale challenging the Springfield Falcons; the Hershey Bears taking on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins; the Portland Pirates facing off against the Worcester Sharks; and the Chicago Wolves meeting the Milwaukee Admirals.

Hi guys
I don't know how it looks at your phones, but on my E70, making a Listbox in the screen modes "large" or "full" looks totally wrong. It misses the background in the lower part along with some other artifacts. Also the same thing happens when switching orientation to landscape (missing background and artifacts on the right side of the screen).

Utah State Football To Hold Annual Spring Game Saturday, April 12
April 11, 2014
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State football's annual Blue vs. White Spring Game, presented by Orbit Irrigation Products, will be held on Saturday, April 12 on Merlin Olsen Field at Romney Stadium at 2 p.m. The spring game will be streamed live via USU's athletics web site at www.UtahStateAggies.com.
The day will begin with the fifth-annual HURD Bowl at 10 a.m.
Aggie Nation will have Aggie apparel available on the south concourse and concessions will also be available on the south concourse, with both opening at 1 p.m. The South Ticket Office at Romney Stadium will open at 12 p.m. for Aggie football season ticket renewals as well as taking new orders. Fans can also renew online 24 hours a day at www.UtahStateAggies.com.
The game itself will pit the offense (Blue) vs. the defense (White). The first half will consist of two 10-minute running time quarters (except for the final two-minutes of the second quarter). Following a five-minute halftime, the second half will consist of two 15-minute quarters played with normal clock rules. Both teams will have opportunities to score.
The offense will get six points for a touchdown, three points for a field goal, two points for a rush of 15 or more yards, two points for a pass of 20 or more yards, one point for a first down and one or two points for respective conversions. The defense will earn six points for a touchdown, five points for a turnover, three points for a three-and-out, three points for a blocked field goal, two points for a stopped drive, sack or tackle for loss, as well as one or two points for failed respective conversions. There will be no kickoffs and all possessions will start at the 25.
During the final two minutes of the scrimmage, any score by the offense if trailing eight or more points will tie the game. Furthermore, a four-and-out by the defense if trailing by eight or more points will tie the game as well. In both scenarios, a two-point conversion will end the game.
"Performances by individuals in the spring game will go a long way in defining roles as we head into the summer," said second-year head coach Matt Wells. "We always hope for clean execution and I want to see good performances in a game-like situation by a lot of individuals and certain groups."
Following the scrimmage, all former Aggie lettermen in attendance will be invited onto the field and asked to lineup in the north end zone, where they will be recognized as a group. This group will also meet and shake hands with every current USU football player prior to the players interacting with all Aggie fans on the field during their autograph session, where a limited number of USU spring football posters will be available.
For Aggie football ticket information, fans can contact the USU Athletics Ticket Office over the phone by calling 1-888-USTATE-1 or 435-797-0305 during regular hours of operation. Fans can also buy their tickets in person at the USU Ticket Office inside the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum or online by clicking on the "Buy Tickets" tab at www.UtahStateAggies.com.

Aggie fans can also follow the Utah State athletic program at twitter.com/USUAthletics or on Facebook at Utah State University Athletics.

Researchers a Step Closer to Male Contraceptive Pill
Protein found to decrease sperm production (Oct. 8)
Monash University in Victoria, Australia, reported on October 8 that new insights into the "swimming skills" of sperm have shed light on male infertility, which affects one in 20 men, and could provide a new avenue to the development of a male contraceptive pill.
In a study published in PLoS Genetics, researchers have shown how a protein called RABL2 affects the length of sperm tails, crippling their motility, and decreases sperm production.
In laboratory tests, the team found that a mutation in RABL2 resulted in sperm tails that were 17% shorter than normal. Dysfunctional RABL2 also negatively affected sperm production, resulting in a 50% decrease.
Lead author and PhD student Jennifer Lo said that as mutations in RABL2 decrease the sperm count and the swimming ability of sperm, it may be possible to inhibit this protein in a future male pill. However, because RABL2 is also found in other tissues, such as the brain, kidney, and liver, an inhibitor specific to the testes would need to be developed.
For more information, visit the Monash University Web site.

NH campus leaders honored in Bedford for commitment to community
Peter Nhiany of Granite State College was one of those honored. Nhiany, who is pursuing a master of science in leadership, is one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, children who became separated from their families during that country's civil war in 1983.
Nhiany was honored by the Campus Compact for his work in co-founding Life for Sudan, a nonprofit organization that provides support for the Sudanese population in Manchester and sponsors educational initiatives for orphaned children in South Sudan.
For Nhiany, the road to establishing the nonprofit began in 2006 when he attended a staged demonstration in Manchester that called attention to the atrocities being committed in Egypt at the time. It was there that he met and struck up a friendship with Dennis Sasseville of Bedford.
"It wasn't much of a demonstration to speak of," said Sasseville. "I think there were more reporters than demonstrators. But Peter got up there and spoke to the press, and I've got to say that I was impressed with the way he handled himself and the passion he had for the cause."
After Nhiany got through speaking to reporters, Sasseville, an environmental and sustainability consultant, approached Nhiany, kicking off the collaboration. Sasseville helped write the bylaws and helped get Life for Sudan recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. "Peter's a great guy; he amazes me with all his enthusiasm," said Sasseville. "He's got a lot of energy."
The civil war in southeast Sudan broke out after the government in the northern part of the country sought to impose Sharia law on the entire population. "That did not click with us, so our villages in the south were attacked repeatedly," said Nhiany. "I fled and got separated from my family when I was 9. I did everything that I could do to survive."
In addition to Nhiany and the other students, the Campus Compact yesterday recognized the work done by the Manchester chapter of Nursing Students Without Borders, which offers health care services to underprivileged communities locally and overseas. Members of the organization have worked to bring medical care to Ecuador and plan to travel to Guatemala this summer to do the same thing.
Debby Scire, executive director of the Campus Compact for New Hampshire, said the awards banquet is now in its 10th year. "These awards spotlight just some of the amazing work New Hampshire's college students like Peter Nhiany do every day to improve the lives of those in need," she said. "Our member colleges and universities are dedicated to creating oppoertunities for such work through campus programs and support structures that help students develop a deep understanding of civic and social issues while strengthening communities in ways that will make a lasting difference.
One of the goals of Life for Sudan is to increase the educational opportunities for the young people of that nation. "The war devastated the whole country. There are no schools, no hospitals," said Nhiany. "I need to help other kids who were in my same situation."
