Melissa & Doug
Learning should be fun! That's the idea that inspired Melissa & Doug, and their success in making it a reality has helped create one of the best-loved brands in educational and classic toys. From skills development to dress up, their award-winning toys equip kids to enjoy the wonders of playful learning.A Story of Fun & Family
The story of Melissa & Doug begins with... Melissa and Doug. Back in the fall of 1988, the dating couple shared two things that would be essential to their business success: a love of children, and the experience of growing up within a family of educators. Inspired by the lack of products that made learning fun for kids, they launched their eponymous company from the garage at Doug's parents' house, beginning with one educational product that they sold out of the back of their station wagon. Their insight and experience paid off, and by 1991 the company had expanded its product line to include wooden puzzles and toys. Today, over 25 years later, the couple has married and raised six children, and their little garage-born enterprise has become one of the leading names in the educational toy industry.Award-Winning Toys For Learning & Play
Headquartered in Wilton, Connecticut, Melissa & Doug specializes in creating the kinds of toys that both parents and kids can love - everything from special needs or skills development toys to all-time boys and girls favorites such as wooden puzzles and railways, dolls and dollhouses, plush stuffed animals, arts and crafts sets, and realistic toys for playing house and dress up. The thought and care that goes into every Melissa & Doug toy has earned the attention of parents, reviewers, and industry associations alike, including best toy awards and recognition from the Parents' Choice Awards, FamilyFun Magazine, ASTRA Association, Today's Parent, Learning Express, Parents Magazine, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Awards, Education.com, Child Magazine, Scholastic Parent & Child, and many others.Educational Is Spelled F-U-N
At Melissa & Doug, the term "educational toys" means something more than just brain teasers or science kits. First and foremost, education means fun, with child-centered toys for constructive and imaginative play that kids will initiate themselves, learning about shapes, letters, or geography along the way. From puzzles that emphasize racial diversity or global and ecological awareness, to play kitchens and food toys that help children learn about grocery shopping and cooking, Melissa & Doug toys also give kids a chance to play at life - or just the chance to push a choo-choo train along a wooden track.Parents Have More Fun At Hayneedle
At hayneedle.com, kids aren't the only ones who get to have fun with Melissa & Doug. Explore our selection of great educational toys, and you'll enjoy savings on puzzles, games, and play furniture for children of all ages.

Will the judge take saving money amount into the calculation of child support amount in California?
If you are asking, will the judge consider your savings account or your saved assets, then the answer is no unless your savings is huge (like you won the lottery) and your interest income is a large amount (interest income in most cases is irrelevant). Child support, for the most part, is calculated strictly off of income levels.
I don't know whose money was saved, but in California they use the Disso Master software; plug in the numbers and get the result. Most of the time, and unless something is extraordinarily anomalous, the Judge takes the computed number.
I don't fully understand the import of "saving" and by whom.

Weber County's three-member commission opted Tuesday to delay a vote on whether to expand the county's library board of directors from seven members to nine.
Citing concerns about rising interest rates, Commissioner Matt Bell floated the suggestion weeks ago, arousing suspicion in some camps that he intended to stack the board, making it the largest of its kind in the state.
"Maybe I'm trying to unstack the library board a little bit," Bell countered Tuesday.
Bell had openly opposed the $45 million bond to upgrade and expand the countywide library system that voters approved in June by way of a special vote-by-mail election. With 31 percent voter turnout, 54 percent of voters agreed to pay more in property tax to enjoy the benefits of libraries that could serve as gathering spots as well as circulation sites.
Bell, also chairman of the Weber County Republican Party, argued that a significant number of people failed to participate in that election, and those are his constitutents as well. And he worries that interest rates have risen at least one percentage point since voters OK'd the bond.
"I've been to a (library board) meeting. It was a great disucssion on the building plans and everything," Bell said, "but no one is mentioning these costs and what we're going to do about it to protect the taxpayer."
During Tuesday's session, Commissioner Kerry Gibson upbraided Evelyn Bertilson, chairwoman of Weber County's Friends of the Library, for questioning his and Bell's integrity and motives.
"The Friends of the Library are appalled at the lack of respect and trust shown to your fellow commissioner, the library board, let alone the library administration and the public," Bertilson said, noting that these entities worked hard to formulate a library capital improvement plan.
"They have verified the costs and the viability of the plan," — and then acquired public support for it, Bertilson said.
Gibson confronted her when she said there'd been no opportunity to discuss the library plan that he and Bell have in mind.
"You're entitled to your opinion, but you're not entitled to take shots at the integrity of the commission," Gibson told her.
However, Commissioner Jan Zogmaister — who sits on the library board — told Bell that she wished he would explain why the board needs to be bigger.
"Interest rates for libraries have gone up," Bell told her, "and I haven't seen one person on that board address that." The one-percent bump could raise the yearly tax increase on a $161,000 home from $31.50 to $34.50, Bell said, noting that rates continue to climb.
By phone Tuesday afternoon, Bell said there are many pending projects around the county where the expenditure of tax dollars are needed and could be justified.
Weber County Comptroller Dan Olsen said that the county currently has $53 million in outstanding bonds. However, the statutory debt limit would be somewhere near $300 million.
"Legally we have plenty of capacity," Olsen said. "So it's more of a policy issue as to what the commissioners are comfortable with."
Library Director Lynnda Wangsgard said that the board-expansion push had created extra stress at a time when leaders needed to focus on designing the new headquarters library in Roy — a process that normally takes about 18 months but they hope to complete by March 2014.
"We're working in a difficult environment because we don't understand what the constraints are," Wangsgard said. "We're trying to be good stewards of the bond and not make voters feel they've been undercut."

With its low price, air-cooled, four-stroke motor and simple steel chassis the Yamaha TT600R represents the utilitarian side of modern biking. It does have some off-road pretensions, but it's most at home pressed into the role of tough urban commuter. On the flip side, the Yamaha TT600R turns motorways into instruments of torture.

The Honda Dominator is the motorcycle that defined the 'urban trailie' craze of the Nineties. Beloved by town-bound motorcycle couriers and B-road hackers thanks to its punchy delivery, rufty-tufty build quality and commanding riding position the Honda Dominator still makes its mark as a value-for-money commuting motorcycle.

The Honda SLR650 is a fairly joyless machine that barely redeems itself as a reasonably efficient commuter. Essentially it's a more heavily road-biased Dominator built at Honda's plant in Spain, back in the days when the Continental factory's quality control occasionally went adios. A Honda CB500 is simply miles better.

LOCK, STOCK AND SECRET BABY (4) by Cassie Miles: Eve Weathers may be a math whiz, but her brilliant mind often eclipses her social abilities and now she's running for her life to protect her unborn baby. At her side and sworn to protect her, Blake Jantzen has returned from a Special Forces assignment to investigate his father's murder and unravel his secrets — one of which is that Blake and Eve were part of an in-vitro "superbabies" program, which may be continuing today and threatening Eve's child. Miles rates high on the suspense meter. The science is sprinkled into the mix with a light hand to keep the interest high.

• On the other hand, if Biedrins and Turiaf return this weekend as, things could brighten quickly. We could really hold our own with a minutes allotment like this:

PF: Anthony Randolph (30), Ronny Turiaf (18)
C: Andris Biedrins (32), Chris Hunter (16)
I don't expect anything like this... it precludes smallball and Vladimir Radmanovic, two of Nellie's favorite things. Still, it's purty, ain't it?
• The Jazz gifted Eric Maynor to the Thunder in a salary dump yesterday. At first glance, this would seem to have nothing to do with us, other than to cruelly point out how clever front offices can acquire talent for a song. But if you look again, at the Utah side of things, the relevance to the Warriors becomes clear. The Jazz shoot threes poorly and rarely, and now have a really weak backup PG. There's a C.J.-Watson-shaped hole in their roster, basically, and we should talk to them about filling it. They'll need a little more firepower to assure themselves of a playoff spot, and he's super-cheap, so they should be receptive. If Larry Riley offers CJ for Kosta Koufos and a '11 first-rounder, I don't think Kevin O'Connor hangs up on him.
May be a slow posting day, due to Christmas travel. More like happy holidaze, am I right?!?!?!?!

Biked past the famous Winsor McCay "Hell House". The spray paint is long gone, but unfortunately there was a fire there not long ago. It would be great to see it become a museum, as some have proposed. Perhaps the way to save it is to attach a propeller and fly it away, as this couple once did to avoid a foreclosure:
I've made McCay the "patron saint" of the Kingsborough animation class, since it's quite cool that he created so many of his classics so close to campus.

Best Movies, Saddest Culture; The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle
Best Movies,
Saddest Culture
Best Movies,
So far the big news has
been movies not worth seeing–M:I2, Gladiator, The Patriot,
The Perfect Storm, even Martin Lawrence's basically agreeable
Big Momma's House. It's likely that many people confuse heavily
promoted films with the essence of the culture. But if you think back to any
of the good movies so far this year (and it requires an effort of memory),
you'd then realize that film culture has changed to a state of instantly
disposable ephemerality that it never had before. The turnover rate at theaters
has become alarming now that the industry (and journalists) has fallen into
"What's Next?" lockstep.
False enthusiasm animates
filmgoing these days. It's consumerist hysteria. Film critics succumb to
misreading the signals just as pop music journalists do now ("Backstreet
Boys rule, they dominate," Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner told
E! Entertainment Television). Media panders to audience susceptibility rather
than shaping popular tastes. Barbie-and-Ken pop has as little relation to great
music as Gladiator has to great moviemaking. The tendency to deceive
ourselves about this is part of a national belief in commercialization. Children
fantasize their new plastic toys will last. Critics unconsciously submit to
these changes among moviegoers (and their habits and susceptibilities). And
this clouds the terrain when, as a famous critic once decried, "the vast
majority are swept up in the campaigns for movies and in the atmosphere"
of weekend grosses.
In a 1999 L.A. Times
survey youth and movie attendance were linked. Naivete and restlessness determine
consumption with no indication of serious interest, response or commitment.
(The poll's most startling revelation was that "only 1% of Americans
have seen all five of this year's best picture [Oscar] nominees and 61%
haven't seen a single one.")
This defining aspect of
Y2K film culture makes movies like water drops on burning rocks (to borrow the
title of François Ozon's latest surrealist taunt, opening at Film
Forum July 12). In an era when hype becomes the constant condition, movie art
turns to steam. Good movies evaporate, while the market is flooded with inanity.
Critics can't do much to stop this, but when you read perfervid reviews
of the latest commercial offerings it's plain that they do little to cool
things down. (Viewers who might have loved Titus were urged to settle
for less with Gladiator.) To that end, some reflective rationality is
necessary. A reminder that movie art still gets made and distributed is essential.
Here's a midyear assessment of the best movies of 2000.
Dumont's existential parable is still hanging in for a couple more weeks.
That's probably as much as can be expected for a film this different from
the fare generally cultivated in theaters and video outlets. A critic should
be disinterested and not have a stake in the outcome of a movie at the box office,
but Humanite's fate (smile) may well determine if serious artists
have a chance anymore–and if there's any hope for audiences. There
are three soon-to-open movies (Andre Techine's Alice and Martin,
Abbas Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us and David Gordon Green's
George Washington) that also demand intelligence of viewers, but their
prospects for affecting the culture might depend upon whether Humanité
can first win contemporary interest in human experience without superficial
manipulation. This groundbreaking film will have to pave for the way for other
serious films that follow.
Mullan's humorous Scots family tragedy disappeared so quickly it was impossible
to tell if it was the victim of little promotion or just rudely, xenophobically
rejected. It's no wonder if American Beauty's artificial depiction
of domestic crisis sets a standard for how audiences regard their personal anxieties.
Mullan's tale of four adult siblings attempting to survive their parents'
deaths (that is, determine their own social and spiritual stability) breaks
past American Beauty's fashionable pessimism which, in the end,
was only a fancily presented daydream of middle-class self-pity. Orphans
almost miraculously combined behavioral critique with a wide-ranging and memorable
evocation of disparate social experiences.
Mission to Mars–Not
just genre-stunted, audiences and critics had to be blind not to appreciate
this. Brian De Palma's sci-fi meditation on mankind's innermost/outreaching
ambitions was distinguished by a sensual, kinetic visual style (and Ennio Morricone's
uniquely expressive score) that commented on and nearly surpassed previous space
adventure movies from Kubrick to Tarkovsky. It's no longer possible to
believe critics' rabid exclamations over state-of-art special effects since
demonstrating their inability to appreciate when camera movement and editing
convey state-of-the-heart wonder and dread. Mission to Mars made unforgettable
images of deep loss and transcendent bliss–for any viewers who kept their
minds wide open.
The Little Thief–Erick
Zonca's follow-up to The Dreamlife of Angels told the story of a
boy's exploitation in the big city with even greater precision (running
only 100 minutes) but similar narrative richness and efficacy. Examining poverty's
common escape routes for boys–boxing, burglary–Zonca evokes urban
treachery with delicacy and detail that ache. Nicolas Duvauchelle plays Esse,
a street kid whose story is one of those perceptive urban fables modern French
filmmakers do so much better than Americans, who drown observation in generic
cliches. Zonca, like Techine in I Don't Kiss and Gael Morel in Full
Speed, fashions a singular genre devoted to politically adept humanism.
The moral reverberation between a street assault and a practiced gesture at
menial labor was Zonca's gift–contributing to the dreamlife of sensitive
Black and White–Still
the most intentionally provocative American movie of the year–while also
being the most personally expressive. James Toback goes where purveyors of racial/sexual
transgression only pretend to; he exposes the childish pretenses of features
like Boiler Room, Ghost Dog and American Pimp. After 40
years, a cinematic rejoinder to "The White Negro" appears that is
also fully contemporary. However, it's plain (especially after the disastrous
critical acceptance of Shaft) that the last thing audiences and critics
are ready to entertain on the subject of race is honesty. But the embarrassment
Toback risks could also liberate and enlighten America's deepest conflicts.
Retitle this Fear of a Racial and Sexual Planet.
Time Regained–Raul
Ruiz directed but Marcel Proust dictates and fascinates one's interest.
Maybe no other movie this year proves the change in film (the rise or fall of
Western culture) than the blasé attitude toward this extravagant, all-star
but never banal or kitschy adaptation of In Search of Lost Time. Few
people seem to care anymore about sustaining cinema's relation to the larger
cultural heritage. The beach fiction few people found time to finish has become
the summer movie most shamefully lacking must-see hype. Ruiz's felicitous
visual adaptation makes such disregard especially sad. The artistes perfectly
embodying Proust's characters ought to be audience magnets, only Emmanuelle
Beart and Vincent Perez, Marie France Pisier and Pascal Greggory don't
carry firearms like the other summer stars.
Trixie–You know
as you watch Emily Watson as Trixie that you're not gonna forget her. She
seems foreign, otherworldly–her alienation exactly right, but perhaps too
right. Yet this is the closest a movie has come to portraying some women's
secret anarchistic temperament toward vengeance. (Panicky Lesley Ann Warren
says, "You're goofy. Has anyone told you that?" To which empathetic
Trixie answers, "It's not irrelevant."). Trixie is also the closest
a current movie comes to Sinead O'Connor's new single, "No Man's
Woman," twisting language to assert rebellious humanism. Director Alan
Rudolph's always-creative, always experimental style has never been so
misunderstood as now, in the era of cgi formula. Confounded by Trixie's
plot, critics neglect its poignance.
Beau Travail–Claire
Denis is an old-school art filmmaker. Her gorgeously composed, politically aware
updating of the moral issues in Melville's Billy Budd isn't
likely to appeal to audiences any more than will Leos Carax's upcoming
Pola X, a beautiful adaptation of Pierre, or, The Ambiguities.
The case for Beau Travail falls upon ears deafened by The Perfect
Storm. Denis' stillness (and cinematographer Agnes Godard's precise
imagery) is altogether too contemplative for a movie culture given over to noisy,
empty spectacle.
Judy Berlin–American
cinema's most sensible appreciation of small-town, female anxiety (at least
until Robert Altman's outrageously original Dr. T and the Women
opens). Eric Mendelsohn's debut feature had a little success, holding on
past its initial Shooting Gallery premiere, but its too-soon evaporation only
proves how the cultural discussion around film is decreed by the ticket purchases
of teen audiences. Teens are, understandably, indifferent to Judy Berlin's
crew of adult and middle-aged women (Madeline Kahn, Barbara Barrie and Edie
Falco give touching performances, yet don't adorn magazine covers). But
grownup critics were also indifferent; they should have been discussing Judy
Berlin enthusiastically, endlessly, but opted for the superficial Erin
Brockovich instead.
That's nine terrific
movies–by July, it's a bumper crop. Victor Erice's Dream of
Light also rewarded viewing, as did Walter Hill's interfered-with Supernova,
David Williams' Thirteen, Bonnie Hunt's benevolent Return
to Me and Mike Hodges' compelling character-study Croupier.
The rest of the half-year's best comprises the wonderful minor comedies
Ready to Rumble with David Arquette, and Jim Carrey in Me, Myself
& Irene.
So where does this leave
movie culture right now? Suffering a post-Titanic diminution of intelligence
with the likes of Gladiator, The Patriot and The Perfect Storm–a
Hollywood triptych of inanity. These movies are unimportant–no matter how
many itchy teens rush to see them. (Besides, how can Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson
and George Clooney compete with such real-life excitement and satisfaction as
the April 22 liberation of Elian Gonzalez from his Miami kidnappers?) The excellent
movies listed above do more than thrill–they supply wonder and clarity.
It's tragic to realize that most of them have disappeared from theaters,
unlikely to be seen again except in the diminished formats of home viewing.
Though other good movies may yet come, so much beauty has already gone. Hype
culture leaves us bereft; knowing so will, hopefully, inspire your own moviegoing
The Adventures
of Rocky and Bullwinkle directed
by Des McAnuff
While recently lamenting
that 60s tv series have replaced the stage-play as favored Hollywood adaptations,
it didn't occur to me that Des McAnuff's The Adventures of Rocky
and Bullwinkle would, here and there, be so pleasurable. Make no mistake,
it's utterly trivial and generally fails to sustain wit and imagination
or grow into a comic fantasia of its own. Still, it comes from good genes. Jay
Ward's happily recalled series was an oasis of mainstream anarchy–its
legacy recently apparent in 1998's short-lived but extraordinary Histeria!
series and most of all in The Simpsons (especially those daring Halloween
episodes). McAnuff and screenwriter Ken Lonergan should have borrowed the short-sketch
approach rather than using an elongated, desperately fabricated narrative. They
might then have sustained the pomo daring of the opening segment that introduces/retraces
Rocky and Bullwinkle's network fate, then delivers them from animation
into the live-action plot (they look touchable, like the 3-D Homer episode of
The Simpsons).
McAnuff maintains an antic
tone (better suited here than in his previous film, the dreadful Cousin Bette).
However, the best performances are Rocky and Bullwinkle's. Jason Alexander
and Rene Russo haven't enough shtick to make Boris bad-enough or make Natasha
fatale. As Fearless Leader, Robert De Niro seems in such good spirits it's
dispiriting that he just ain't funny. His "You talking to me?"
routine (done in fascist commander getup) is worse than flat, it's misconceived.
Brando's self-parody in The Freshman conveyed a satire of all that
The Godfather had aberrantly come to stand for: glamorized criminality,
heedless celebrity. Instead, De Niro ought to have satirized the denigration
of his Goodfellas performance in Michael Mann's atrocious Heat.
De Niro should still respect Taxi Driver's profundity. Fearless
Leader's swivel-chair pivot is a nice touch, but it's actually more
redolent of Travis' "Henry Krinkle" routine.

Expert Q&A: Jonathan Lusher on Security at America's Malls
Mall security auditor and expert Jonathan Lusher of IPC International assesses the situation for mall security today
One of the differences between us and the Israelis is that their society has learned to live with intense security and intense surveillance. They are using metal detectors and very controlled entrances with limited access points at their malls. They search everybody. But even more important is to detect terrorists before they can even get to the secured areas. They focus on keeping the bombers out, and they have succeeded because there have been instances where the bombers have had to explode themselves outside the facilities or even across the street because they were identified. They are looking for common denominators and are using behavioral profiling extensively.
We have adopted behavioral profiling based on their models, but of course, it's hard to tell how good you've done if you don't see those incidents.
To prevent terrorism at malls, the sharing of information is important and has to improve dramatically. I think that the strength of the connection for the local mall security director is that local knowledge. As they'd say in Chicago, "You gotta know a guy." Security directors need to know and work closely with the local and state authorities. There are also bulletins, like a new one created jointly by the CIA and the FBI about pre-operational terrorism indicators, and while it doesn't directly address mall terrorism, these things give information that security directors should be looking at.
Are you aware of any malls using metal detectors or X-ray systems today?
I'm not aware of any, though there are some mall directors who have the technology waiting in the wings, whether that's in a storage closet to be deployed or a standing order for the technology. But our society really isn't prepared for that yet. We feel about terrorism the way that Londoners felt after the Underground bombings, and that is that terrorists aren't going to keep Londoners out of the Underground. One day after the Tacoma shootings, the mall reopened and people were back in strong numbers and the stores were reopened.
The recent incident at the Tacoma, Washington, mall with the shootings and hostage-taking is on everyone's mind. What can be learned?
I think we know that these incidents are virtually impossible to predict. The often don't send signals or warnings. The best to hope for is that you can respond as soon as these events start unfolding. I was reading more about this incident this morning, and this young man had felonies on his record, but none of these were violent. No earlier behavior indicated that he might try this kind of thing. I know that all law enforcement and the customers there were quite satisfied by the way the situation was handled.
What's happening in terms of raising the bar for mall security guards?
Our guards are being trained on behavioral analysis. I can't say that they're getting years of training like a psychologist would, but we have a series of training tools constructed for anti-terrorism situations. We have an expert on staff to teach our guards who has background in both and psychology and worked in Naval intelligence, and who has taught counter-terrorism analysis.
It's 2005 and video surveillance is booming. How are surveillance camera systems being used at malls?
We're seeing a general increase in the installation of video surveillance solutions; certainly you could call this a major increase in the number of systems installed in shopping centers. We are also seeing the use of leading-edge surveillance technologies that focus on monitoring rather than just recording. Smart video technologies are just jumping by leaps and bounds by the minute. We are also working toward the use of remote monitoring, whether it's for late night camera monitoring when the malls are closed, or full-time monitoring for the smaller centers where budgets don't allow an on-staff monitoring.
While malls are not super high-tech environments, we are starting to use these smart video systems to spot when a package has been left or when a door has been opened at a time when it should have been closed.
How are surveillance systems being used in parking lots?

Thank you, slow walking family walking in front of me on the sidewalk. No, please, take your time. And definitely spread out, too, so you create a barricade of idiots. I am so thankful that you forced me to walk on the street and risk getting hit by a car in order to pass you so I could resume walking at a normal human pace.
Jimmy Fallon has a few people and a few things to thank. In this brand-new book, the very first to come from his show, he addresses some 200 subjects in need of his undying gratitude. Each page will feature one note and a photograph of its recipient. But why read any more about formatting when you could just read a few more samples:
Thank you, guy whose chair made a farting noise, for prompting him to spend the next 20 minutes awkwardly shifting around trying to re-create the noise, so people would know it was just the chair.
Thank you, Miley Cyrus, for being 16 and acting like a stripper at the Teen Choice Awards. If you REALLY wanna piss off your dad, why not just cut off his allowance?
From Hilary Clinton to a light bulb he is too lazy to replace, these are the moments and memories that make Jimmy's life a little bit fuller.
Jimmy Fallon is very thankful. And in this first book to come from his TV show, he expresses his gratitude for everything from the light bulb he's too lazy to replace to the F12 button on his computer's keyboard. He thanks microbreweries for making his alcoholism seem like a neat hobby. He thanks the name "Lloyd" for having two L's. Otherwise it would just sound like "Loyd." He thanks the slow-moving family walking in front of him on the sidewalk. Without this "barricade of idiots," he might never have been forced to walk in the street and risk getting hit by a car in order to get around them. He's thankful to you, the person reading this right now. It means you're considering buying this book. You should do it. You will be thankful that you did.

Also, Alec Hardison played by Aldis Hodge on Leverage belongs on here. As it stands I suppose I would vote for Spencer Reid played by Matthew Gray Gubler on Criminal Minds

Each Grain of Sand a Tiny Work of Art
When you take a moonlit stroll on the beach, how often do you think about the tiny grains of sand creeping in between your toes? From above, sand seems like a bunch of tiny brown rocks, perhaps peppered with occasional shells or cigarette butts. But sand has a far more fascinating story to tell.
Composed of the remnants of volcanic explosions, eroded mountains, dead organisms, and even degraded man-made structures, sand can reveal the history—both biological and geologic—of a local environment. And examined closely enough, as the scientist and artist Gary Greenberg has, sand can reveal spectacular colors, shapes, and textures.
These images of sand from around the world were taken by Greenberg using an Edge 3D Microscope and can be found in his book, A Grain of Sand, which was published earlier this year by Voyageur Press.

Wanderlust is not a passion for travel exactly, it's something more animal and more fickle—more like lust. We don't lust after very many things in life. We don't need words like 'worklust' or 'homemakinglust.' But travel? The essayist Anatole Broyard put it perfectly: 'Travel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to one's own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live … in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.' …I traveled for love, and loved to travel, making it hard to disentangle cause from affect.

text: I am about to leave Wyoming over the next day or two, and 40% of my ride will be compete. For me, it is hard to believe. There have been lots of ups and downs. I anticipated Yellowstone as a highlight, and had never heard of the Wind River Canyon. I know that much of Wyoming has no cell phone coverage, and lots of people get by with 5-12 TV channels. I have heard many tales of 40 below winter days. Another absolutely beautiful state will be behind me, and now it is on to Colorado. Can't wait to see it. With all of this said, I have learned to never pass up a good tailwind! It is a huge gift. Days will come when I have to face a brutal wind, but that makes taking advantage of a good tailwind all that more important.

Lupus Health Center
Many Lupus Patients Forgo Needed Medication: Study
Low-income minorities with lupus are known to fare worse than their white counterparts, and the reasons are probably many, noted Drenkard, whose research focuses on lupus. But it's likely that lesser adherence to drug regimens is one reason, she said.
Drenkard and her colleagues recently published a small study looking at whether a "self-management" program could help low-income black women with lupus. And they found that women who attended workshops at a public clinic were feeling better and doing a better job of taking their medication and generally managing their disease.
"We think self-management support like this is important for people with SLE," Drenkard said.
Still, a program like that would be only one part of the solution, these experts added.
"We need more research to understand what the barriers are to drug adherence, from the patient point of view," Yazdany said.
Another study to be reported at the same meeting underscores the importance of sticking with prescriptions. Researchers found that among more than 1,700 lupus patients in 11 countries, those taking anti-malaria drugs were less likely to show damage to their kidneys, heart or other organs over six years.
Do lupus patients with private insurance do a better job of sticking with their medications? It's not clear, said Yazdany. With Medicaid, there are state databases to comb through, but there is no similar way to study lupus patients with private insurance on a national level.
For now, Yazdany said it's important for all lupus patients to bring any medication concerns to their doctor. If side effects are an issue, she said, your doctor may be able to adjust the dose or switch the medication.
"We have more [drug] options available now than we used to," Yazdany said. "So there's a good chance that something else will work for you."
Data and conclusions presented at meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

Crime writer Patricia Highsmith's tale of a murderous menage-a-trois under the Greek sun gets a melodramatic treatment from director Hossein Amini, the acclaimed writer of Drive. Viggo Mortensen is Chester MacFarland, a sleek Manhattan financier who is doing the rounds of Europe's grand sights with his younger wife Colette (Kristen Dunst). While in Athens they make the acquaintance of American tour guide Rydal (Oscar Isaac), a minor league ducker and diver whose dodgy connections come in useful when Chester's angry creditors coming looking for him. Deception, distrust and adultery propel the trio into a labyrinthine nightmare.Read Review

Can You Reserve Judgment Until the 31st Minute?
"When interviewing job candidates, withhold all personal judgments until the 31st minute."
First impressions only happen once--and if you're searching for top talent, you should give candidates at least 30 minutes to make one. That's the advice of executive recruiter Lou Adler, president of the Adler Group.
Too often, hiring managers botch the interview process by allowing their immediate impressions of a candidate to shape the entire interaction. "If you click with someone right away, you go easy on them," Adler explains. "On the other hand, if you have a bad initial reaction, you tend to ask hardball questions."
It's good to be aware of this bias, which can be an unconscious one, so you don't miss a chance to make a great hire. "One CEO I know found many reasons not to hire a very strong candidate, but what it came down to was, he didn't like her nervous laugh," Adler says. He recommends not making decisions about candidates until at least the 31st minute of the interview.
Meanwhile, remember that while candidates are working hard to sell themselves to you, you should work just as hard to sell your company to them. For example, Adler says, a 300-person entertainment company looking for a controller posted a job opening headlined "Oscar-Winning Controller." The ad talked about how "Everyone will thank you when they win their Oscars and Emmys." In doing so, "They took a fairly run-of-the-mill position and attracted some great candidates by emphasizing their culture and how they valued the job," Adler says.

He said he felt horrible after the ordeal. I could see he meant it. Then he tells me again, for the third time, there is no more to tell. I want him to take that polygraph, and he refuses.
You don't believe him because he has lied and lied and lied to you, told you there was nothing more and there was LOTS more multiple times. He doesn't want to confess anything else because life is getting uncomfortable for him and it's cramping his style. This is also why he doesn't want to take the poly. He would rather have sex with strangers he meets in the laundry room. I imagine you might find there was an actual LTA with the poly, that's about the only thing he's never confessed to. He's been cheating for most of your M, there is a lot more than just those 3 encounters you know about.
In my case I would have to be the one leaving because my WH refuses to leave the house..He has been asked to multiple times...
For me remaining in the house would not be worth getting law enforcement to kick WH out.. I would have to worry about being harassed or stalked...
So I am getting my ducks in a row for the eventuality of filing for divorce once I have a stable place to stay..
Key loggers are an excellent way to find out what your WH is up to....once you have the passwords that you need, deinstall the key logger..Depending on the laws in your state, you may not want to admit to anybody that you got your evidence of A via a key logger..

You need the poly. Like you need air. You NEED it. He is refusing. Really? He is *refusing* after he has destroyed your trust over and over?
You need to find your bitch boots. As long as you allow him to refuse your demands for R,you won't move forward and he will think it's ok to tell you what to do and how to do it.
Eff that.
Tell him no poly,no R.
Oh..and we have a few members who have worked with people who administer polygraphs. They ARE actually quite accurate. The reason they're not allowed in court,IIRC,is because it is very easy for a sociopath to pass a poly. They lie very well,and so often,that they have convinced themselves of their lies. But the average person can not pass if they are lying.
