Delicious Magazine: chicken breast stuffed with spinach & ricotta

In the Spring of 2011, my then 26 year-old son, Zach, set out to hike the entire Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, nearly 2,200 miles. I nearly had a heart attack when he told me he was going to do it.
And that was BEFORE I knew how treacherous and difficult a feat this would actually be.
I wasn't yet aware that, even with the best of intentions, only 3 out of 10 people complete the trail. And with good reason. It requires super-human strength and determination to overcome all of its obstacles and stay alive.
In fact, over the course of five months, Zach nearly froze to death, became dehydrated, had heat exhaustion, encountered poisonous snakes, bears, rat-infested shelters, bleeding feet, numerous falls, dangerous human beings, and last, but not least, contracted West Nile Virus about half-way through the hike, which nearly debilitated him.
Yet, he remained hell-bent on summiting Mt. Katahdin in Maine and did so in August of that year.
Shortly after he completed the trail, he decided to write a book entitled, Appalachian Trials. (Yes, that's not a typo, it's "Trials," not "Trails.") Unlike others who have written memoirs to commemorate their experiences, this is a book that is designed to help others become Appalachian Trail thru-hikers (the name given to people who complete the entire hike.)

New numbers show per-student spending in Washington's K-12 public schools continues to drop in comparison to other states.
Adjusted for regional cost-differences, Washington now ranks 43rd in student spending. Only seven states invest less per child. The statistic, based on a new report from Education Week, shows Washington's ranking fell by one slot and that spending in Washington decreased by $184 per-student from the previous report. The new numbers, which are from 2010, show Washington spends $2,679 less per student compared to the national average. Washington is one of only 19 states whose per-pupil funding declined year-over-year from 2009.
Over the last four years, the state has cut approximately $2.6 billion from the K-12 schools budget. When the 2013 legislative session starts Jan. 14, the Legislature must put children first and increase funding for our public schools as required by the McCleary decision and the state Constitution.
That requires reducing overcrowded class sizes and expanding all-day kindergarten.
"With smaller class sizes, I can focus more on individual students," said Wendy Smith, a High School teacher in the Evergreen School District near Vancouver.

A tale of betrayal, enduring love and the supernatural, Giselle follows the story of a young peasant girl who falls in love with a villager, who later is revealed to be a nobleman in disguise.
Royal Ballet Principals Roberta Marquez and Steven McRae, who will perform the lead roles of Giselle and Count Albrecht on 18 and 30 January, have been in rehearsals with producer Peter Wright.
'The two leading roles are marvellous, especially the role of Giselle - every ballerina wants to do it', says Peter. 'In all the roles, you have to build up the characters and know how each relates to one another. It's not easy, and it takes a lot of thought and work, but The Royal Ballet are wonderful at that.'
The most influential of all Romantic ballets, Giselle was a huge success on its premiere in Paris in 1841, and has remained at the centre of classical repertory every since. Peter Wright's production for The Royal Ballet has received more than 550 performances since it had its premiere in 1985.
'Although I've been doing this ballet for years and years all over the world, I'm really quite excited about how it's developing again,' says Peter. 'I always like to get that feeling that it's happening for the first time, which can be difficult when the Company has done it for many years, but they have responded just wonderfully.'
The Royal Opera House has produced a Digital Guide to Giselle, which contains specially selected films, articles and exclusives, including a full-length interview with Peter Wright. Buy the Royal Opera House Digital Guide for £2.99.
Steven McRae was the subject of a recent Twitter Q&A, in which he answered questions about tap dancing, motor racing and future choreographic plans.
Giselle runs from 18 January-10 February 2014. A small number of tickets are still available. The ballet will be broadcast live to cinemas worldwide on 27 January 2014. Find your nearest cinema.
The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Mrs Aline Foriel-Destezet, Celia Blakey and the Jean Sainsbury Royal Opera House Fund.]]>
Royal Ballet Principal Edward Watson, praised for his dramatic roles, is busy preparing the part of Crown Prince Rudolf in Kenneth MacMillan's Mayerling. Given the rapturous reception he received in the role last time around (the Telegraph described him as 'an extraordinary interpreter'), it's quite a surprise to learn that he has danced it only six times before.
'It's funny to be known for something I've done so little,' he says. It's also testimony, though, to the impact he has made by pushing its visceral qualities to the limits – especially as it is probably the most substantial and extreme ballet that any male dancer can tackle.
Among the company's full-length masterpieces, this ballet is unique in being inspired by an historical incident: the suicide pact between the increasingly deranged and violent Crown Prince Rudolf, heir to the Habsburg Empire, and his 17-year-old mistress, Mary Vetsera, at the Mayerling hunting lodge near Vienna. This horrific event sparked the downfall of the dynasty.
'It's a fascinating story,' Watson says. 'It sounds like a movie, but when you know it's real it draws you in to find out more. You can look into all kinds of matters: Austria being so buttoned up, all those cover-ups, and Marie Larisch [Rudolf's ex-mistress and a vital character in the ballet] writing a memoir so that she wouldn't be implicated.' It was Larisch who introduced Mary to Rudolf.
'But it's all there in the choreography. For me it's about rehearsing carefully and making moments say what they're supposed to say. It's always a joy in rehearsing that ballet that you find something new all the time. A movement that looks ordinary, like an arabesque, can mean hundreds of different things, depending on the way you do it.

The role's challenges are enormous, both physically and dramatically: 'In the first act alone there's a huge number of pas de deux, as well as group scenes and solos. And conveying Rudolf's personality, being that tense, that wired and often aggressive, is a real demand. Half way through you're thinking, "Oh God, I never want to do this again, it's so hard". But by the end you're thinking, "I never want to do anything else!"'
The story's violence is far removed from a classical dancer's usual world of control and streamlined beauty: 'It's great!' Watson laughs. 'Getting out of that kind of tense, upward, symmetrical thing. It's a gift to let go and it's what everyone's screaming out to do. At least, I am...'
'Kenneth MacMillan proved that you can tell those kind of stories in ballet,' he adds. 'When Mayerling was first done, perhaps people weren't ready for it, but now I think that that kind of theatricality has become as British as Frederick Ashton is. Certainly for my generation, it's what excites us.' At 36, Watson is too young to have worked with MacMillan – but he is godfather to the choreographer's small grandson.
Rudolf remains, astonishingly, one of only two balletic princes he has ever danced (the other is Albrecht in Giselle, who's more dramatic than most). Not for him, he says, 'a prince who kisses a princess to wake her up, or falls in love with a swan. They've never come my way. There are people who do that brilliantly, and as long as I can do the stuff I'm good at, then I don't mind.' And as long as he dances Mayerling, his fans will be more than happy.
Mayerling runs from 19 April – 15 June. Tickets are still available. The production is staged with generous philanthropic support from Celia Blakey, Lady Ashcroft, John and Susan Burns and Gail and Gerald Ronson through the Gerald Ronson Foundation.

These sun glasses get a lot of complements - and a surprising number of them are from men who like "the look." The brown tint is fine for most days but I'd probably take a darker pair of sun glasses if i was going to the beach for the day....
Very satisfied with this purchase. Price was much, much cheaper than else where online. Sunglasses is very nice and not too big. It is even nicer than the picture, very stylish. I recommended this sunglasses to anyone who is in the market for a pair of Ray-Ban.
I had lasik surgery on my eyes and sometimes see a halo around bright objects....these glasses have eliminated this problem!
I love these sunglasses--just what i was looking for
These are awesome!!! A++ for overstock for a great buy! I love that O lists the model numbers down -- I usually then check the Ray-ban website for the exact description of the sunglasses and base my purchase from there. Before I bought these glasses, I knew they were the catty kind -- more cat eye shaped than your regular clubmasters. WHICH I LOVED! So as long as you know what you are buying, Overstock has the best deals ever. It's unfair to be posting low ratings on products simply because it is not what you wanted. That being said, I bought the exact awesome sunglasses I wanted at an unbelievable price. Overstock can't be beat.

That advice came straight from the city's first citizen, Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, who greeted media and approximately 500 hosted buyers during breakfast on the opening day of the 22nd annual Asia-Pacific Incentive & Meetings Expo (AIME), held Feb. 18-19 at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre (MCEC).
The welcome breakfast was served in a sleekly contemporary venue in the Docklands, the city's historic 19th-century waterfront district, and accompanied by drumming and dancing inspired by the city's Aboriginal heritage. That kind of cultural mix typifies Melbourne — the city that, Doyle pointed out, The Economist magazine ranked as having the highest quality of life on the planet for three years running — and it flavored the events surrounding AIME.
More than 3,800 visitors from 29 countries attended AIME, which is organized by Reed Travel Exhibitions (RTE) and owned by the Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB). The expo showcases products and destinations in Asia, the Pacific Rim, North and South America, South Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, plus Australia. This year, it offered an expanded education program, with seminars covering a range of topics, including creativity and innovation.
The exhibition also serves as the centerpiece of Business Events Week, which was held for the second time this year. The goal of Business Events Week, which included 60 events scheduled between Feb. 17-21 at the MCEC and throughout the city, is to put a spotlight on the events industry and educate the wider community about the significance and value of events to Australia, according to Karen Bolinger, CEO of MCB. "AIME is the leading event in the Asia-Pacific region for the meetings, incentives, and exhibitions industry," Bolinger said, "and the perfect vehicle to illustrate the contribution of business events to Australia's economy, knowledge sector, and tourism industry."
Melbourne is in the midst of a record-breaking two years for the meetings industry, Bolinger said. By the end of 2014, the city will have hosted 70 international conferences and welcomed more than 85,000 delegates. The conferences are expected to bring a combined $420 million to the city.
Much of that success, Bolinger said, is due to the fact that Melbourne is the first city in the world to host three of the largest, most prestigious health-related conferences with in the space of a year: the World Diabetes Congress, held in December 2013, with more than 10,000 delegates; the World Congress of Cardiology, to be held next month, with 9,000 delegates; and the International AIDS Conference, in July 2013, which, with 14,000 delegates, will be the largest health-related conference ever hosted in Australia.
Those events may not be as sexy as some of the city's well-known sporting events, such as the Australian Grand Prix, which was held last month, said Ian Chubb, Australia's chief scientist, who served as the official ambassador for Business Events Week 2014. But "research networks are created and nurtured at medical conferences," Chubb said. "A significant part of the research process is ensuring that ideas will ultimately be used to the benefit of humankind through the creation of new procedures and other innovations. Knowledge is at the core."

I ran up to Barr Camp a few weeks ago, I was able to text with my wife in Manitou from there and from the W's. Verizon is my provider, your results may differ.
In response to:
I am doing the marathon on Sunday and my wife and son are probably going to only see me at the start and finish. My plan was to bring my I-phone with me and at maybe two point during the ascent to text her that everything was ok and maybe once on the decent. I will move off the course when I do this and I will not block people behind me. My question is is there even cell reception on the mountain?

These towels are very soft as they should be for supima cotton and they arrived quickly. They are fairly thick also. However, the quality is not what I expected. There were some pulled loops that left threads hanging and the overall construction did not seem very good. The towels felt nice but did not look like high quality towels. The sand color is also more gold than sand. I will be returning them before use so I cannot comment on their absorption or on how they launder.
I read the reviews before buying these towels. I am very disappointed in them. they bleed, they attract lint and they do not absorb water. They suck. But they are pretty. I guess reading reviews does not always guarantee a good buy.
We were very happy with the towels until we used them. We would rank them a 2 out of 10 when it comes to absorbency.
these are great towels except for the fact they are described and sold $$ as bath size 30" by 60" when they actually measure 30" by 56" ...the plastic bag they come in says 30" by 56" for the bath size the 56" ones are cheaper ... do they actually measure 56" i feel i was cheated out of my money
Bath towels are a very generous size. Hand towels are average and wash cloths seem like they are just a hand towel cut in half, one side is finished, the other is not. The towels are thick. The reason I didn't rate 5 stars is because the bath towels are clearly two different shades of brown. One is more of a golden brown and one is more of a coffee brown. I was pretty disappointed because with shipping this was a **.** set of towels, not cheap. I expected more....or at the very least for all 6 pieces to be the same color. If you don't mind the color variance, these towels are ok.
Purchased to accent my new bathroom in the house we are building, these Moss Green towels and bath sheets are ideal..I love the softness and ease with which they dry at medium temp in my apartment dryer. A great price and well worth it. Excellent selection of colors
These towels are very good quality. I bought these for a spare bathroom, so I haven't really used them personally, other than the hand towels. The thickness is pretty dense, and they seem to be pretty absorbent. I chose the dark green sage/olive color, and they are a little darker than I anticipated, but still look nice with my bathroom decor. A nice towel set.
I really like my towels the color is pretty and they are so soft.
Bought two sets of these towels. Should have listened to what others said, these towels will not absorb water. I don't return a lot to Overstock but these are definitely going back. I tried washing one set several times and rinsing several times to no avail. Stay away from these towels if you are looking for absorbability.
These towels are the best I've bought in a long time. Very thick and soft. They soak up water like no other towel. The color is wonderful.

To put in perspective the odds of a space shuttle astronaut dying, here's a look at the odds of dying by doing some routine and not-so-routine activities.
1 in 15,996,734 Being bitten by a dog in any given year
1 in 10,283,615 Riding in a train in any given year
1 in 4,362,746 Being struck by lightning in any given year
1 in 588,235 Playing football
1 in 440,951 Flying in a plane in any given year
1 in 100,000 Skydiving
1 in 83,534 Swimming in any given year
1 in 17,625 Driving in any given year
1 in 13,300 Giving birth
1 in 13,000 Going under anesthesia
Sources: Insurance Information Institute, National Safety Council, United States Parachute Association, National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research (2005 data), Center for Disease Control and Prevention, a study by Legasse, Steinberg and Katz in Anesthesia, issue 82:1181 in 1995
If you could choose between driving to work and skydiving there, the safer decision would seem obvious.
You just made a mental calculation, which you do every day whether you know it or not. You assess the risk involved in doing something, based on your perception of how safe it is. But did you ever stop to consider the actual odds, and how different activities stack up?
On Saturday, the space shuttle Discovery will launch seven astronauts into orbit. In 1986, before the Challenger exploded, NASA's estimates of losing a shuttle ranged from 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. Since then, NASA has revised its odds and now estimates that today's astronauts will face death on roughly 1 out of 100 shuttle flights.
There's no single formula involved in calculating odds. In general, the odds of something happening can be estimated by taking the number of people who die in a given year because of a particular act and dividing it by the population of people at risk.
To arrive at the space shuttle's odds, however, NASA used a different technique called probabilistic risk analysis. They tried to figure out all the possible things that could go wrong with the space shuttle and then calculated the possible odds for each of those failures. Then they combined all of those odds into one figure to get a rough estimate of how likely a shuttle disaster is.
So how accurate are such calculations? According to Charles Seife, a professor of journalism at New York University who covered NASA during the Columbia disaster, such odds tend to be rough numbers that shouldn't be taken too literally.
"They tend to underestimate the risks of failure," Seife said. Their usefulness, he added, comes in determining what aspects of the shuttle require the most attention, like the engine vs. the tile.
With the July Fourth around the corner, maybe you're worrying about how risky it is to set off those fireworks. In fact, your chance of dying from a fireworks accident in your lifetime is only about 1 in 745,000, according to the National Safety Council.

Just like last year, I'll be combing over box scores and scouring local beat writers' reports each morning to help ensure  you have all the information you need in order to make the right decisions for your fantasy baseball lineup. So make sure you check back at this very spot for Hot/Cold Streaks, Injury News, Closer Updates, Daily Stats, and more so that you can stay one step ahead of the rest of your league!
An as always, make sure you're getting your dose of daily fantasy baseball by playing the FP911 Challenge!
5 Good Nights, 5 Bad Nights
It's a fact of life that every baseball player goes through hot and cold streaks. It's important not to let those streaks influence a player's fantasy baseball value too much, but it is important to be aware of how a player is doing within a short period of time (a seven-day sorter is always a good tool to use). A player's short-term numbers can be the difference between winning and losing in daily games, and it can also make a huge difference in year-long leagues. For instance, if you can keep finding the second basemen on hot streaks and dropping them for another streaking second basemen once they get cold, you can piece together a very useful middle infielder-by-committee for your roto team. So before we get to today's games, let's take a spin through last night's box scores to identify who had a good night and who had a bad night on Sunday, May 6th.
5 Good Nights
- Justin Ruggiano:Â 2-3, 4 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 1 steal
- Andy Dirks:Â 4-4, 3 R, HR, 2 RBI
- Adeiny Hechavarrai:Â 2-4, R, HR, 7 RBI
- Justin Verlander:Â 7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks, W
- Kevin Slowey:Â 7.0 IP, 2 H, ER, 2 BB, 7 K's, W
Honorable Mention: Mike Trout, David Ross, Marcell Ozuna, Mark DeRosa, Matt Holliday, James Loney, Prince Fielder, Hunter Pence, Allen Craig, Tyler Moore, Freddie Freeman, Reed Johnson, Danny Espinosa, Yu Darvish, Matt Cain, Jaime Garcia, Tim Hudson, Edinson Volquez, Wade Davis, Mike Pelfrey, Gio Gonzalez
5 Bad Nights
- Roy Halladay:Â 2.1 IP, 4 H, 9 ER, 4 BB, 4 Ks
- Marco Estrada:Â 3.1 IP, 6 H, 8 ER, 5 BB, 5 Ks
- Jonathon Niese:Â 4.0 IP, 7 H, 7 ER, 6 BB, 3 Ks
- Jacoby Ellsbury:Â 0-5
- Dexter Fowler:Â 0-5
Dishonorable Mention: Miguel Olivo, Nick Punto, Ruben Tejada, Chris Valaika, Eric Hosmer, John Axford, Addison Reed, Philip Humber, Joe Saunders, Jerome Williams, Ian Kennedy, Edwin Jackson, Jhoulys Chacin, Jason Hammel, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Andy Pettitte, Mat Latos, Jose Quintana, Dan Straily
Daily Grab Bag
Check back here for daily updates on injuries, closer battles, player news, and anything else that might affect your fantasy baseball team.
- Roy Halladay is experienced shoulder discomfort and is headed to Los Angeles for tests. Hallady will likely be placed on the 15-day DL, but this situation has the potential to last a lot longer than 15 days.
- In case you missed it over the weekend, Hanley Ramirez returned to the disabled list with a hamstring injury and Dee Gordon was recalled to join the Dodgers' roster. If he can get on base regularly (a big if), Gordon will be a good source of steals for fantasy owners.
- Matt Garza will make his second rehab start for Triple-A Iowa today and looks to be on pace to return to the Cubs within the next two week.
- There is no set timetable, but it's looking like Curtis Granderson (forearm) will return to the Yankees lineup with in the next two weeks.
- Jake Peavy will miss his second-straight start today as he continues to battle through back spasms. A DL stint hasn't been ruled out, but the White Sox are hoping he'll only miss one more start.
3 Up, 3 Down, and Throwing Darts
Starting and sitting the right pitchers on a day-to-day basis is often the lynchpin of winning any fantasy baseball league – roto, head-to-head, daily, and otherwise. In order to give you some help picking your pitchers for today, I've gone through all of the stats that I could (pitchers' career numbers vs. certain hitters and lineups, home/road splits, lefty/righty splits, etc) and have made nine recommendations. I'm not going to proclaim that I'll get these 100% correct all season, but anyone that does should be sitting on an island that they own in the Pacific – not writing fantasy baseball articles. The goal here is to play the odds the entire season and slowly build your "win" percentage closer to 100% than to 50%.
Here are today's recommendations with, 3 Up (three pitchers you shouldn't think of sitting), 3 Down (three pitchers with some warning flags for today), and Throwing Darts (three pitchers that I'll be taking a flier on):
3 Up
Madison Bumgarner vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Cliff Lee at San Francisco Giants
Clay Buchholz vs. Minnesota Twins
3 Down
Paul Maholm at Cincinnati Reds
Trevor Cahill at. Los Angeles Dodgers
Vance Worley at Boston Red Sox
Throwing Darts
Andrew Cashner at Miami Marlins
Nick Tepesch  at Chicago Cubs
Mark Buehrle at Tampa Bay Rays
Swings and Misses
A hitter's career numbers against a pitcher don't always tell the whole story, but it can be informative if used correctly. I'm of the opinion that some information is better than none, and while there are other pieces to the puzzle of setting your daily lineup (splits, weather, etc.), I think a hitter's career numbers against a pitcher can be very indicative of future success or failure. Some guys just own certain pitchers, and vice versa. As such, I've gone through today's matchups and picked the best (and worst) matchups I could find. Anything less than 10-12 career at-bats is a relatively small sample-size (so take those with a grain of salt), but sometimes that's all that is available.
- Alexei Ramirez is 11-for-26 (.423) with two home runs in his career against today's starter, James Shields.
- Brandon Phillips is 18-for-51 (.353) with four home runs in his career against today's starter, Paul Maholm.
- Brian McCann is 9-for-18 (.500) with four home runs in his career against today's starter, Bronson Arroyo.
- Paul Goldschmidt is 9-for-12 (.750) with two home runs in his career against today's starter, Chris Capuano.
- Billy Butler is 8-for-25 (.320) with three home runs in his career against today's starter, Chris Sale.
- Justin Morneau is 7-for-14 (.500) in his career against today's starter, Clay Buchholz.
- Alcides Escobar is 12-for-27 (.444) in his career against today's starter, Chris Sale.
- Martin Prado is 1-for-15 (.067) in his career against today's starter, Chris Capuano.
- Joey Votto is 3-for-22 (.136) in his career against today's starter, Paul Maholm.
- Pablo Sandoval is 2-for-12 (.167) in his career against today's starter, Cliff Lee.
- Jay Bruce is 2-for-15 (.133) in his career against today's starter, Paul Maholm.

Ivy Tech - Fall 2012 - page 11
Thought I would start a thread to see how many people were applying to Ivy Tech's Fall 2012 nursing programs. I will be applying to the Fort Wayne campus. Looking to see if they are any others out there who might be joining... Read More
- 1May 28, '12 by travelcat18Quote from CattleshowmomI completely agree with you... there is no doubt about the incontinuity between campuses and even at the same campus. In a perfect world things would be as you describe. Sadly, at least at Lawrence, I've found that, at times, there's the same jacked up process during the program. Like not knowing your clinical site until the last minute (so what if you have a job, kids, etc.) or a time change of an exam that an instructor tells one class, but not the other class. It seems as though the campuses require us to be professional, be on time, etc., but they are not held to the same rigorous standards. The only good thing that comes of it all is that you get to bond with people you meet (on message boards and in the program) where you're all going through the same thing and can vent about all the inconsistencies and frustrations.Thanks for the pep talk. It's not so much the waiting I find that's stressful for me, although that in itself is certainly nerveracking.. it's the lack of coordination between the differing campuses that bumfuzzles me. I realize the number of applicants varies greatly from campus to campus. A pool of 400 possible candidates would take much longer to evaluate than a pool of 75. HOWEVER, with that being a given, I fail to see the reasoning of sending out letters from all the campuses over such a wide span of time, especially knowing that people apply to more than one campus. It is difficult to know if you are going to turn down one campus if you have not received an acceptance letter from your first choice. It seems to me the best option would be to simply tell all campuses to have the letters ready to send out on ______ date. Pick May 30th, if that is what it takes to get them finished, and then we would all not need to go through this longterm anxiety. This is not the first instance of lack of coordination that puzzles me. Some offices provided an official manila business envelope to turn the application in, with the envelopes having a place for the applicant's name and program applying for. Also included was a stamped envelope for the student to address for the department to mail the acceptance/rejection letter in. Other campuses just had a mesh mailbasket, (left unattended, I might add) to place your application in. Did placing my application into an unattended basket make me a bit nervous? Yes, I'm sorry to say that it did. In one office, the staff gladly helped me to doublecheck I had every piece I needed... another office, the staff said, "No way am I going to help you. If you can't read directions yourself, then how on earth are you going to make a good nurse?" and although that was just a wee bit snotty,, she made a valid point.
I suppose I expect more professionalism and coordination between the campuses, and protocol that all follow.
Anyway, I'm keeping busy to pass the time. there is always endless cattle work around here that needs to be done, tomorrow being no different.
Even though it seems like you have to go through torture, it's all worth it!
Hang in there!
- 1May 29, '12 by elysemowwOn a side note... Some of us have crazy (and other inappropriate adjectives that come to mind ) jobs that we hope to discard when our dreams come true. Once the congratulations letter comes :spin:, there is a mandatory meeting that must be attended . My lovely vocation approved all the days I asked off for ... except THAT one! I stormed in there and after some healthy communication found a manager and took my note and talked to them about it. One of them finally fixed it for me. Becoming a nurse is way more important than my present job . I don't know how I'm going to work during that first semester , but if there's a will there's a way! I guess I'll just work week-ends.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! AND HOPEFULLY :heartbeat CONGRATULATIONS!
- 3Another day of waiting. While its been frustrating and time consuming these last few weeks (stalking the mailman and the message boards) I wouldn't have it any other way. I love that God has brought all of this far. I still don't know which campus I'll be attending but I'm sure wherever I end up it's where I'm supposed to be.
Congrats to all who have been accepted and to those still waiting. Waiting is a step closer and is teaching me patience, and patience is something I will need more of in the next two years, I'm sure.
- 1I'd like to think that I have always been a very patient person, but when it comes to waiting for the letters; well I am going crazy This wait is brutal.

Will Android and Windows Phone steal the Apple throne?
According to two separate studies that have been conducted, Apple's influence in the mobile world might come to dwindle in the coming years while Android rises to the desirable throne.
If we're to believe Ovum's second annual developer survey, released just yesterday, we might expect Android to become a more important platform than iOS to the developers within the next 12 months.
The study also noted growing support behind both Blackberry and Windows Phone platforms, which could make the mobile market become even more competitive as developers start exploring opportunities across all different systems.
According to another report, published last week, by IHS iSuppli, Microsoft's mobile operating system might also see some light, and can with some luck have overtaken the iOS market share by 2015, due the strong support by Nokia.
The report also goes on to predicting that by 2015, Windows Phone will reach a total market share of 16.7 percent, as iOS falls back to a low 16.7 percent, and Android bursts ahead to the throne with a 58.1 percent market share.
However, the Microsoft platform has some way to go, as it was only accounted for 1.9 percent of the market in 2011, with iOS taking 18 percent of the market and Android being way ahead with its 47.4 percent
So will Windows Phone be able to pass Apple's share in the coming three years, or is such a speculation way off the mark? Only time can tell.

Many mass produced antiperspirants contain aluminium salts which have been shown to affect the blood-brain barrier in the central nervous system that restricts the passage of chemicals and bacteria out of the blood stream. The link with breast cancer and aluminium is a myth though.
Natural deodorants use a mixture of essential oils and alternatives to aluminium salts such as Zinc Ricinoleate which masks bacterial odour, and Hops which impair bacterial function to keep you fresh all day.

Lenovo's Android 4.0 Smart TV reviewed in China
We're pretty hot on the Google TV platform here at Android Community. But we can't fault Lenovo for going its own way in China, since Google TV still isn't available outside America. The company has created its own hardware and custom ICS software to deliver a Smart TV ccompetitor to the likes of Samsung's Smart TV line, and Chinese website MICgadget got their hands on one.

The primary federal law regulating debt collectors is the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. This law imposes obligations and standards of conduct upon those who collect debts. This 1977 law amended the Consumer Credit Protection Act to prohibit certain conduct by debt collectors. The U.S. Congress noted the purpose of the law in its findings: There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy.

A Special Supplement: A Death in the Sanchez Family
I looked at her face and its quiet sweetness comforted me a little. If was as if in the brief moment between life and death she had looked into the distance with the inner eyes of her soul and had seen a beautiful place, flowered and peaceful, where she would no longer suffer hunger and misery.
On the right wall of my aunt's poor little room, the holy images of saints and virgins in their wooden frames contemplated without grief the lifeless body on the floor. The picture of my dead mother on the rear wall seemed to stare at me reproachfully for having neglected her sister. Below the picture, between the bed and the wardrobe, was an unpainted pine table decorated with purple tissue paper and strewn with yellow zempazochitl flowers. On this my aunt had placed her offerings to her dead—several glasses of water and three cheap votive candles which were still burning. Being from Guanajuato, my aunt was "mocho," fanatically religious, and no matter what her financial state, she always provided something on the Day of the Dead. This year she hadn't had enough money to burn incense to attract the spirits of her deceased relatives or to buy fruit or chicken or bread for them, but she had left water for the souls to quench their thirst, and candles to light their way. She even bought an extra candle for the dead who had no family to look out for them.
Flies were beginning to gather over the body and I brushed them away. I couldn't bear the scene any longer. Everything oozed of death. I went outside. There the children, trying to look in, were tearing at the cardboard patches on the outer wall of my aunt's kitchen. "What are you kids doing? Get out of here, go home!" I said. Some of the children moved away, but others took their places.
I went to ask Julia how it had happened. She was standing with Matilde, Pancho's wife, at the entrance of the vecindad, gabbing as usual. Matilde, dressed as poorly as ever, had been the last one to talk to my aunt and was telling everyone about it. She repeated the story for me. Her face showed no sorrow as she spoke.
"You see, Manuel, I came by this morning and said to Lupita, 'I'll bring you your taquito and coffee in a moment, auntie. How do you feel?' 'Fine,' she answered. Imagine! 'Ay, daughter, don't forget my little cup of coffee.' 'Now, aunt,' I said, 'didn't I say I'd bring it in a moment?' And I left. But before I got back, one of the kids came running up to my old man shouting 'Pancho, Pancho, Lupita is dead. She fell down and has a lot of blood coming out of her head.' So my old man comes out and sure enough, there she was on the floor. And right away he went to call you."
"Why doesn't the ambulance get here?" said Julia impatiently. "We've already called them three or four times and still those bastards don't come. And what about Roberto?"
"I've already sent for him, Julita, I don't think he'll be long." I stretched my neck toward the Street of the Barbers, but neither the ambulance nor my brother was in sight.
"Ay, hombre, what a sad end for your poor aunt. And I can't even shed a fucking tear. I don't know why, I just can't," Julia said shrugging her shoulders, "but believe me, Manuel, God forgives people like her. At least her suffering is over, and she's rid of that ugly bastard Gaspar."
None of the neighbors liked Gaspar. They said he was taking advantage of my old aunt, and beating her, too. When I had first heard that rumor I had gone to see her and to meet Gaspar face-to-face so he'd know she had someone to back her up. He was a shoemaker and it was risky because he could pull one of his knives on me. But both he and my aunt denied that he beat her. He said, "It's a bunch of lies from a bunch of jealous old women. Why would I want to do her harm if I love her? How much do I love you, old girl, how much? Tell him, tell señor Manuel. Those women are just jealous of your marriage."
I decided to wait by my aunt's door and I went back into the vecindad. Roberto arrived, pale and panting.
"Well, brother, what's up?"
"Go on in, but don't move her because she's already dead."
"No!!" That was all he could say, and he quickly went into the room. I followed, and there he was, caressing my aunt's white hair. He put his hand on her chest, hoping to feel her heart still beating. Then he started to lift her.
"No, little brother, don't move her. She's already dead. Can't you see she's lost all her blood?" And his eyes filled with tears.
"Poor thing…my poor dear aunt! Ay, Manuel, I feel so guilty. When I think how much money I've squandered that I could have given her. Just look at that," he said, pointing to the small charcoal brazier which showed no sign of having had a fire recently. "She hasn't cooked for days. And she always acted strong! Just the day before yesterday I asked her if she'd had lunch and she answered, 'Of course, meat and beans.' Meat and beans indeed! My poor little aunt. Now there she lies, the last of the Vélezes."
My brother looked as though he was about to cry. He was really upset. He felt closer to my aunt than I did and spoke affectionately of her but I had always thought it was just out of his own sentimentality because, sticking to the facts, my aunt never showed very much affection for him, or for any of us, in my opinion.
I never felt as if my Aunt Lupe was my mother because she never gave us that kind of love. I was fond of her because she was my mother's sister…a family tie, that's all it was. When my mother was alive, my aunt was a steady visitor at the house but that was because she enjoyed a little drink. My mamá was pretty active in that direction herself so that's why Lupita came around so often. But my mother was a go-getter and always had a peso or two more than my aunt and uncle did. So every time they came it was to have a meal or a drink or to borrow money.
When my mother died, my Aunt Lupita came to take care of us but she was there more as a servant because my father paid her a salary. She took care of us but I don't think it was anything more than a routine thing. It would never have occurred to her to give us a sign of affection or to say anything nice to us. She liked to be helpful to people and to have everybody think well of her but our relations were…well, I could see that she felt more affection toward the bums who came there to drink with her. She spoke to them with more confidence, as if she felt closer to them. With us, she used that tone of authority, just like my father. Born to command, like my papá!
I didn't see much of my aunt until after my uncle died. Naturally, when she felt she was getting old, she fell back on us. By then I was married to Maria and we would both go to see her. Each time it cost me five, ten, twenty pesos. But I must say Lupita never asked for a thing except when she was sick. We lived so estranged. Maybe because she was like me and wanted it that way. The further away my family is, the less problems they cause me. In that way, I'm a little more independent. Maybe that's what she was trying to be, too.
"Listen," my brother said. "We've got to give her a decent burial. But how? Uncle Igancio's funeral cost us 500 pesos. Look, I'll go see how much I can borrow from my godmother, though I owe her 200 pesos already. If the ambulance comes don't let them take her away, because then it'll cost a lot of money to get her body out of there. I'll be right back."
He turned and left quickly. A little later we heard the ambulance siren screaming.
"Here they come, here they come!" chorused all the neighbors and snoopers. The ambulance stopped at the entrance and a young doctor in a white uniform stepped out, with two stretcher bearers right behind him. I opened the rickety wooden door for him. He looked at the body and asked, "Well, what happened to this woman, señor? Just look at her!"
"I don't know, doctor, she was already like this when I arrived."
Gaspar stepped forward to give the doctor my aunt's card for the General Hospital. The doctor read the dates, shook his head, and said, "Ay, qué caray, there's nothing more we can do for this woman, she's dead. Now what you have to do is notify the police and they will certify the death. Meanwhile, don't move her. Take this card to the precinct to prove that this woman was being treated. Maybe they'll dispense with the autopsy."
The doctor and the bearers left and the crowd began to disperse.
"Well, Gaspar, go quickly to the police," I said almost in a tone of command.
"Yes, yes, señor Manuel, I'll go right away, I won't take long."
Gaspar left and I took a stool and sat down outside the door.
When my Aunt Guadalupe began to complain that she had a lump on her behind and that it bled and hurt a lot, I asked her, "Aren't you doing anything for it?" She replied, "Yes, of course, Gaspar is treating me." If it wasn't Gaspar it was another of those people she thought had magical powers.
There was a time when she wanted to go to the hospital to be cured but I couldn't take her right away because I was out of a job "Give me a few days to find work, so I'll have money to take you to a private doctor," I told her. But when I saw that she was getting worse I said, "Look, aunt, if you want to go to the hospital, go ahead. You will be much better off. Everything is clean there, and at least you will get three meals a day. I don't believe that Gaspar takes care of you, even though you say he does."

U.S. Justice Department Won't Pursue UBIT Appeal (Misc News: October 20, 2010)
The U.S. Department of Justice has given up plans to appeal a federal judge's ruling that allows a Colorado credit union to maintain its exemption from the Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) for investment and insurance products sold to members.
Greenwood, Colo.-based Bellco CU challenged the Internal Revenue Service's policy toward UBIT and its application to credit unions.
"We consider this fantastic news because it means that the government did not see enough merit in its own position to push it further in the courts," said CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney. "Now we will be solidifying a strategy that will, we hope, put the UBIT issue to rest with the IRS and others for a long time to come."
The government had filed a notice of intent to appeal this summer after Judge Christine M. Arguello ruled in November 2009 that investment and insurance products that Bellco sold to its members, including credit life and disability insurance and some other products, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities, were "substantially related" to Bellco's tax-exempt purposes, and therefore the income from those activities was, under the law, exempt from UBIT.
"The IRS decision suggests it now has a greater understanding of credit unions' legitimate right to generate noninterest income related to certain financial services without being subject to UBIT," MCUL & Affiliates CEO David Adams said.
IRS must pay the full tax refund of $199,293 sought by the Bellco on three of its products.
The UBIT Steering Committee, comprised of CUNA, the American Association of Credit Union Leagues, the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors, and CUNA Mutual Group, while not giving tax advice, has suggested that the Bellco case may be helpful to state-chartered credit unions' legal, tax, and accounting professionals in determining whether the decision constitutes "substantial authority" for their credit union to not pay, or to seek a refund of, UBIT paid on income from sales of brokerage or annuities products.
"This decision is a direct result of legal efforts funded by state credit union leagues," Adams said.

Girls are under enormous pressure to deny their true selves in order to please the people around them. By early adolescence, many are discouraged from expressing themselves honestly and directly for fear of hurting other people's feelings or coming off as arrogant, confrontational, argumentative or merely difficult. According to the Girls' Rights Survey, 56 percent of girls say it's true that "girls are expected to speak softly and not cause trouble." The message to say something nice or say nothing at all comes from all sides -- schools, parents, religious institutions, magazines, music, television, advertising and movies. It is especially powerful and upsetting for girls when it comes from their peers.
You can help your daughter develop confidence to speak out in public situations by first making her feel comfortable to voice opinions, even unpopular ones, in her own home. If you are concerned that she feels she has to lie to you about her life, and you would rather know the truth, now is the time to tell her that you support her right to express herself -- and that includes her right to tell you things you may find hard to hear.
Using Her Voice to Make a Difference
Community action is a great way for girls to learn important communication and negotiation skills. Engaging in social change lets them hone their talents as leaders and make a difference in the community. Encourage your daughter to speak out for or rally others around a particular issue. For example, she and her friends could collect money to help a needy family, or help organize a food co-op or community garden. Instruct your daughter to first research a problem, brainstorm possible solutions, then come up with a plan for change. As she begins to understand the impact and power of telling people what she thinks, she will be inspired to speak up more and make her voice heard.

Welcome to the Cambodia! Upon arrival, you will be met by your tour guide and driver before being transferred to your hotel. A sightseeing tour of the city will take in the Royal Palace, the incredible solid silver-floored Silver Pagoda and the National Museum, a treasure chest of Angkorian and pre-Angkorian artifacts before ending our city tour with a visit to Wat Phnom pagoda and shopping at the Russian market.
After breakfast we travel southwest of Phnom Penh to Choeung Ek. The memorial just outside Phnom Penh was an orchard and a Chinese cemetery prior to 1975. During the Khmer Rouge regime, it became one of the killing fields, the site of the brutal executions of more than 17,000 individuals, most of who first suffered through torture and deprivation in Toul Sleng Prison. Choeung Ek is now a group of mass graves and a memorial stupa containing thousands of skulls. This evening, enjoy a boat cruise on the Mekong River and take in the local night life.
After breakfast we leave Phnom Penh and travel to Kompong Thom province. The province is large in size with some 13,814 km2 making it the second biggest province of Cambodia. It is one of the most popular historical and cultural sites to explore due to its pre Angkorian temples. Later visit Sambor Prei Kuk, the most impressive group of pre-Angkorian monuments in Cambodia.
Today we continue to Siem Reap to visit the Angkor Wat Temple. This architectural master piece was built in the 12th century, took 30 years to complete and represents the Khmer civilization at its grandest. Covering 81 hectares, it is one of the largest religious monuments ever built. Angkor Wat (the biggest Hindu temple in the world and one of the largest religious monuments in the world, was built between the 9th – 13th century. In the early evening climb to Bakheng Hill to enjoy the superb view as the sun sets over Angkor Wat.
Today is spent further exploring the Angkor Wat complex, entering the South Gate of Angkor Thom Temple marvel at the wonders of the eerie Bayon, the terrace of Elephants and the terrace of the Leper King. Afterwards, we continue to visit Ta Prohm temple, shrouded in jungle and left just it was founded by French explorers in 1850s. This afternoon we set out for a cruise on the beautiful Tonle Sap Lake passing a typical floating village observing the locals in their daily life.
Today travel to Banteay Srey, one of the most unusual temples of Angkor, Cambodia. Later visit Banteay Samre, built in the third quarter of the 12th century. The Srah Srang a royal bathing Palace, located east of Banteay Kdei is our next destination.It was constructed in the mid-10th century, and modified in the 12th or 13th century, then visit the Banteay Kdei Temple, a massive Buddhist monastery from the latter part of the 12th century and is surrounded by for concentric walls. Later take in Ta Keo, an incomplete temple in the Khleang style. Finally we finish with Thommanon Temple, one of a pair of Hindu temples built in the end of the 11th century.
After breakfast visit Beng Mealea Temple, a spectacular jungle temple around 60 Kms drive to the north east of Siem Reap. It is one of the "new" highlights of Cambodia; having only been cleared of mines at the end of 2003. Built by Jayarvaman VII; in the style of Angkor Wat; its scale is huge. Being well over one square kilometer in area and all located within a moat. Approached by four causeways, Beng Mealea appears to be a huge pile of rubble partially hidden in the trees, it's not until you get closer to the high walls that the ancient Khmer Architecture reveals itself. Cloaked in vegetation the temple looks as it did when French explorers first stumbled across it.
Arrangements conclude after breakfast and onward departure transfer to the airport.

Last year, Ford Racing introduced the new Ford Mustang stock car body to the NASCAR Nationwide Series where it went head to head with the Dodge Challenger in a clash of the modern muscle cars. Ford used to adhere to the theory "race on Sunday, sell on Monday", but if you have watched a NASCAR Sprint Cup (formerly Winston Cup) recently, you have seen a Ford Fusion stock car that offers the form of a coupe - with rear wheel drive and a V8 - none of which are available in the consumer market.
So, Ford launched the Mustang stock car body for the Nationwide Series (the Saturday racers...formerly Busch Grand National) and according to Ford Racing head Jamie Allison, this move helped to bring in new enthusiasts to NASCAR. The Ford Mustang has a following like few other cars in the world, so it should come to no surprise that when the Mustang hit NASCAR, Mustang fans who previously didn't care about the NASCAR circuit started paying attention.
Based on this new influx of diehard Mustang fans to the NASCAR world, many expected to see the Mustang make the jump to the NASCAR "big leagues" - the Sprint Cup. This expectation was bolstered when Ford Racing submitted a new Mustang stock car body for the NASCAR Sprint Cup officials to go over in February for the 2013 season, creating visions of the mighty Ford Mustang rolling into victory lane at the Daytona 500, with the longest running performance car in America standing on one of the biggest stages in all of motorsports. Unfortunately for those hopefuls, earlier this month, Ford Racing announced that they would be sticking with the Ford Fusion for the 2013 NASCAR season.
Not only did Ford Racing announce that they would be sticking with the Ford Fusion stock car body for the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup season, they also stated that they were working with some of the Ford factory backed Sprint Cup teams to develop the next generation of the Ford stock car - also expected to be based on the Fusion. Ford Racing stated that as the company's bestselling car, it is important to put the midsized sedan in front of the massive NASCAR crowd. The consumer-friendly Fusion sedan found in dealerships might be a far cry from the Fusion stock cars roaring across the television during a NASCAR race, but the automaker feels that putting their top vehicle in terms of sales in front of the biggest motorsports community is important in helping the Fusion to maintain its spot atop the bestselling cars in the American market.
The good news for Mustang enthusiasts who have gotten into NASCAR, Ford Racing plans to continue on with the Mustang in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the performance group from Ford Motor Company has not ruled out the Mustang for the Sprint Cup in the future - but in the meantime the only Ford's looking to take the checkered flag at the Great American Race will be rooting for their favorite driver in a Fusion.
What do you think? Obviously, it's a business decision, but does it make any sense to make the Fusion the face of Ford Racing instead of the Mustang? Voice your opinion here!
