LG accuses Samsung Galaxy S4 of violating its eye-tracking patent
At the day of the Galaxy S4 event, LG officially announced its Smart Video feature for the Optimus G Pro, and later Samsung touted a similar Smart Pause feature for its flagship.
As a result, LG says Samsung violates its eye-tracking patent with Smart Pause. The patent in question is applied for in 2009, but LG suspects its domestic rival of violating more patents dating as far back as 2005.
LG will start investigating once the Samsung Galaxy S4 hits the market next month. Naturally, Samsung denied the accusations, stating that it uses different methodology to implement its Smart Pause feature.
We'll see if LG and Samsung go in court over the eye-tracking patent in a month when both the Optimus G Pro and Galaxy S4 will go on sale.

You do know that Optimus G Pro has Eye Tracking? Right? And we all know that the Optimus G Pro was already launched weeks ago and the S4 just recently right? So I dont think LG is just seating on patents. :) Their working, and Samsung is just copying...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- One of the Tennessee victims of last year's fungal meningitis outbreak may not have been recorded among the official death records.
The Tennessean reports federal court filings show Gokulbhai Patel of Goodlettsville died Jan. 13. He had received spinal injections at the Saint Thomas Outpatient Neurosurgical Center in Nashville. But records from the outbreak kept by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show no deaths in January.
The outbreak is blamed on contaminated steroids from the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts.
Attorneys for several of the victims said they believe other deaths may have gone unrecorded as well.
The official death count in Tennessee is 15, with 153 patients sickened. Nationwide, 63 deaths have been recorded with 749 patients sickened.

Bike event benefits Special Olympics
By Amy Lavalley Post-Tribune correspondent June 28, 2013 2:12PM
Missy Miller, president of Sons of Thunder, offers a blessing before bikers take off June 15 from Sunset Hill Farm County Park for a fundraising ride for Porter County Special Olympics.

Updated: August 2, 2013 6:22AM
The weather was gray and damp but spirits were strong for Porter County ABATE's 23rd annual Ultimate Bike Show, which for the second year in a row benefited the county's Special Olympics program.
The two dozen or so bikers who braved the weather planned a 70-mile loop from Sunset Hill Farm County Park and back on June 15. Food and merchandise vendors, a beer garden and live music also were part of the fundraiser.
John King, a member of the parents' board for Special Olympics, also is a member of ABATE, and the two organizations often help each other out. ABATE, for example, planned on handling parking for Livin' It Up, a music festival in late June put on by King that also benefits Special Olympics. King also got a couple bands to play for the Ultimate Bike Show.
"It's kind of a win-win for both of us," King said. "I try to help ABATE out whenever I can, and they help me out, so it works well for both of us."
One of the traditions of the ride — and many group rides — is a blessing before the bikers take off. Missy Miller, president of Sons of Thunder, the local chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association, offered that benediction for the ABATE ride.
"Basically, if it's a bike event, one of us is there and if we don't do an entire blessing, we are there to bless individual bikers," she said, adding the blessing is non-denominational. "Some of the people who are considered 'non-Christian' will want a bike blessing."
The blessings are typically for safety, awareness and protection, for both the bikers and other drivers on the road. Miller also asked for blessings for the Special Olympics before the ABATE ride.
"God, get everyone back here safe and give everyone a blessed day," she said before the ride began.

NEW YORK (PIX11)—A man who was arrested for urinating on an 11-year-old girl's leg while on board a New York-bound JetBlue flight will not face charges, however the incident has cost him his position on the U.S. Ski Team development squad.
According to authorities, the disturbing incident occurred on an overnight flight from Portland, Oregon. As the girl slept and her father and sister were in the restroom, a Vermont man named Robert Vietze, 18, stumbled into the aisle and began to urinate on the young girl's leg.
The young girl's father walked back to his seat to find the 18-year-old peeing on his daughter, and went into a rage, according to reports.
A witness told the New York Post, "I woke up to this man yelling and literally looking like he was about to punch this kid in the face," said the witness, who asked not to be identified. "The father was screaming, 'F - - k that kid! I don't want him near my family!' "
Vietze, who is 6'4" and 195 lb., told authorities that he had eight drinks before passing out and waking up mid-stream.
When the plane finally touched down in New York at 6:30 a.m. there was a small fleet of Port Authority officers waiting for Vietze and the sick passenger.
Although he was arrested, the charges against him have since been dropped, officials said. However, in wake of the incident, Vietze, who was a member of the U.S. Ski Team development squad, was kicked off the team.

Tip #49 Expanding Your Bug-free Zone!
Mosquitos, white sox, and no-see-ums are pesky biting insects found everywhere in Alaska and make it downright uncomfortable to enjoy the outdoors when they get thick. Bug sprays and "dopes" work OK if you don't mind rubbing those chemicals on your body and into your skin, but in some situations the presence of liquid bug repellant on your hands may taint the fishing bait or even the lure and fly you touch and result in a lower fishing success rate. These liquid repellants can also "attack" and destroy certain synthetic products when they come in contact with each other.
The most popular bug repellant to cover large areas such are patios, decks, and yards is the PIC mosquito coil. These coils use an incense style delivery system where you light one end and it burns as an ember producing smoke containing the repellant. As the air currents spread the smoke around the bugs high tail it out of the area. These really come in handy when you are barbequing or batch processing a boatload of sockeye salmon you just dipped from the river. The problem is the small metal coil holders (see photo) sometimes aren't very appropriate for placing these coils strategically around your work or recreation area. There are "store bought" holders such as the one shown in the photo which twists apart to receive the lit coil and can be hung from just about anything. Other manufactured coil holders are made of pottery clay and similar materials and are heavy, bulky and don't hang. These fancy holders will run you $7 to $11 EACH.
Fred Zumbuhl from Sterling comes to the rescue with his very inexpensive method of producing as many coil holders as you may ever need for just a few cents each and they work as well or better than most of the high priced units.
Purchase a one foot by three (or four) foot piece of metal screen at your local hardware store. Cut the pieces of screen into units that are 5 inches wide and 12 inches long. Fold the piece in half. Then on either edge adjoining the folded edge, bend the screen over itself, thereby creating a holder with two sides open. Insert a wooden pencil or dowel between the two halves of screen and gently reshape the metal fold to create a bit of a space or gap between the two sides so that it won't pinch the mosquito coil. (The coil may extinguish itself if the screen is pressed tightly against the coil.) Add a loop of cord or an "S" shaped piece of wire for hanging on whatever objects are handy around the area you want to protect. For less than the price of a single store bought PIC holder, you can make a half dozen of these in just a few minutes and have all the protection you need for large areas or where changing air currents require positioning coils in many locations.

Google bed bugs If you think that you could have brought bedbugs home with you from your trip, quickly take all of your luggage and any garments or other belongings you brought on the holiday, away from your house and away from your loved ones. google bed bugs What do you have to lose? Your furniture most likely would cost you thousands of dollars to replace. It would cost only a few hundred to bring the exterminator back. It might not work, and you could get bed bugs back in your house again. But we think that a risk worth taking.
Google bed bugs Once bedbugs are in a building, they travel from room to room and floor to floor by crawling or catching a ride on a host. For this reason, they are often a problem in hotels, hostels, college dormitories and apartment buildings. Bedbugs are also likely to exist on modes of public transportation, including buses, airplanes, trains and ships. google bed bugs A very helpful method is simple vacuuming. Vacuum cleaning the mattress and carpet can help considerably in controlling the threat of infestation. Another method is steam cleaning. When you do not have the traditional equipment used for steam cleaning, you may also use a hairdryer or iron.
Google bed bugs Now that you have found the bed bugs here are a few ways to kill bed bugs at home. If you're thinking bug bomb or house fogger, forget it. Recent research published by the Journal of Economic Entomology (JEE) shows these products to be ineffective against bed bugs.If you prefer the natural route food grade diatomaceas earth can be applied to your mattress, furniture and carpet. Dust lightly or damp sponge it on. Always use a mask or respirator to keep particles out of your lungs. google bed bugs If this sounds familiar it could be time to drill down a littler further and investigate distinct evidence of bed bug infestation

- I was searching for fun ways to I corporate my husband's love of comics and movies into our November wedding and I stumbled across the Garter Girl website. I saw that she had made garters before and I fell in love with the idea!! She agreed to make the same garter for me and also stitched our wedding date into the inside of the garter. She was super nice and accommodating and had no issue shipping to me in the UK. My husband's face when he saw the garter was priceless and I'm so grateful to Juli for helping make that happen
- I had a set of garters made for my April wedding and Juli did a wonderful job! I had a blue toss garter and then a blue/chocolate/lace garter that is gorgeous. I couldn't have been happier. She was very punctual about responding during the development stage and the garters were finished and shipped just as she told me they would be. Like I said I couldn't have been happier with my purchase! Thank you so much Juli!
- I just received my garter for my June 2012 wedding and it is beautiful- exactly what I wanted… my bridesmaids are wearing coral for the wedding and I added a coral ribbon to the garter, it is stunning- cant wait to wear it!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!
- I found Juli's Garters before I had even started planning our wedding. Straight away I knew that I wanted my garter to be made by the Garter Girl! I sent Juli some pictures of my dress & shoes and talked about the design I had in my head. She knew exactly what I wanted. The garter turned out better then I could have ever imagined. It was perfect!! I received so many compliments from the people who saw it and needless to say Adam loved it also! We did the garter toss, but only the with the second one I had made, I could not bear to part with such a lovely object! Thank you so much Juli for bringing my vision to life! You are a true talent and a pleasure to work with. I only wish I could get married again just so you could make me another amazing garter!
- I received my garter and I absolutely love it. Julianne did such a wonderful job. I chose the ivory and blue garter for my something blue. Compliments to Julianne!
- I was so fortunate to win my gorgeous garter in a "giveaway" and I am so thrilled that I won! I had asked Julianne to create a cream lace garter with a light tiffany blue ribbon and it is exactly what I received! I got a ton of compliments saying that it was the most beautiful garter anyone had seen! Julianne was very quick in getting the shipment to me and I am so very thankful!
- Thanks Juli! As a wedding planner I like to give a gift to my brides and your garters are perfect. This one that I recently ordered is a surprise for my bride using her colors and her groom's name tag from one of his old army uniforms. I can't wait to give it to her, but it will have to be before she applies her makeup because I know there will be plenty of tears. It is beautiful. Thanks again.
- I recently received my custom garter from The Garter Girl for our June wedding, and it couldn't be more perfect! Because of the nature of my dress, the larger lace garters I liked would have been too bulky under the dress. When I emailed Juli some specific requests about how I wanted the garter to look, she not only accommodated each one, but also offered awesome suggestions to make it unique. The garter-making experience with Juli was effortless and fun, and the end-product is of top-notch quality. And so pretty! Thanks for helping add that special touch to my wedding, Juli!!
- I had a custom garter made for my August 2014 wedding. It is camo with black ribbon, his name tag from his Army uniform, and then a helicopter charm (he flies them for the Army). She was able to add a charm to mine, to make it more personalized. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! I love it and can't wait for him to see it. I know he will love it too! Thank you Juli!
- I was really interested in the eco-friendly garters! So, I purchased the white with navy blue strip & bow! Not one but two of them!! They arrived to me in Australia in perfect timing! I can not believe how gorgeous they are! I cant wait to wear them! Never thought much about garters! But, I'm obsessed with mine!! Thank you soo soo much!
- I recently received my garter from The Garter Girl and it is lovely! It has the exact vintage feel I was looking for. Juli was very responsive to all my requests and I received it in the cutest packaging. I can't wait to wear it in April
- I have recently received my garter from The Garter Girl and absolutly love it! I don't get married until next August but spotted the exact garter on a Google image search in my exact colors!! Can't wait to wear it!!
- My fiance is currently in the Navy and I was looking online for a red white and blue garter to surprise him when I stumbled across the Garter Girl. She custom made me a garter with matching toss garter that was exactly what I was looking for! I cannot wait to wear it and I know it will make our big day a little more special!
- I needed 3 custom garter sets recently and Julianne exceeded all my expectations. She worked with me from start to finish to determine the colors and designs. She not only worked within the budget I suggested for all 3 sets, but came in under that! All 3 brides love their garters and we are all very pleased. Thanks again Julianne!

IT is currently being hacked with layoffs in 2013. 20-30 percent of the staff will be let go in 2013. There is a new CIO and Directors which have a big say on how things get done from now on. I see a very small IT group in the next year.

I have been working at Southern California Edison full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
Work-life balance if you don't want to get ahead in your career.Cons
Non-stop propaganda about cost cutting and improving work environment without any focus on individuals. Many rounds of random lay offs and restructuring in different departments, resulting in even larger bonuses and salaries for senior management and above. Main focus is on "How great do I look in front of directors and VP", while forgetting that content and not pretty pictures matter. No personal accountability. Lots of redundant work for the sake of work. No common sense. Amother big issue is that even VPs don't have any say, except on spelling and choice of charts in the presentstions. Any level below is expected to agree and follow upper command, no matter how ridiculous it is.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Bring upper management salaries down to the levels where they don't feel like Gods and will start showing respect to their reports and peers. Open volunteer severance to the whole company at one time, check after, only internal tranfers and hiring might be needed.Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO


text: HomeTVCBSLauralee Bell Dishes Cricket Kissing Paul And New Young and Restless Regime Jillian Bowe November 6, 2012 CBS, News, Soap Opera, The Young and The Restless 24 Comments Since she first appeared on our TV screens, The Young and the Restless' Cricket Blair (Lauralee Bell) has been the ultimate good girl. That's all about to change, since the legal ace will soon swap spit with her ex-husband Paul (Doug Davidson), who just happens to be dating her BFF Nina (Tricia Cast)! TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan spoke with Bell to get the lowdown. TV Guide Magazine: What triggers this? Bell: Christine has basically thrown Paul a lifeline by finding the evidence that saves him from going to jail. She's freed him from this horrific chapter in his life and that's what provokes the kiss. This isn't some meaningless thing, though. Paul says, "I'm falling back in love with you." And Christine says, "I'm falling back in love with you, too. I want to give this a shot." Danny was the love of Cricket's young life. But Paul is her adult love. It's a serious, emotional reconnection. It could be a second chance for both of them. Bell also revealed what sister-in-law Maria Arena Bell had planned for her alter ego, before she got replaced by executive producer Jill Farren Phelps and head writer Josh Griffith. TV Guide Magazine: Speaking of Jill and Josh, what did you think of the way they wrapped up Christine's case against Phyllis? Bell: I don't know exactly how Maria was going to end it but I do know she planned to have Christine and Danny leave town together. I wasn't supposed to remain on the show. Josh and Jill stopped me in the hall and said, "We're thinking about not having you leave. Is that okay with you?" I thought that was so nice! A really lovely gesture. I am torn about the way [the trial] played out. No one wants to see Phyllis in an orange jumpsuit for months. They want to see her out raising hell. But I feel like Christine would have investigated the case so well that she'd never have lost. It made her seem so unqualified in her research. Hmm… To find out what Bell had to say about Cricket's quest to nail Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) and more, click here! 24 Responses harlee490 November 7, 2012 I'm loving this NuCricket being slightly more aggressive and especially towards Phyllis. Go get her Christine, Phyllis needs a good rival again like she had with Dru. Nothing will replace Dru\Phyllis feuds but we all know Dru isn't coming back and honestly LLB & MS plays wonderful off of each other as rivals. Log in to Reply TraceyAbbot101 November 7, 2012 I'd watch just to see Tricia Cast read the Genoa City phone book. Log in to Reply Restless Fan November 7, 2012 Why do I get the sense Maria is the only Bell truly upset about her termination? The family had to know how truly bad she sucked!! Log in to Reply tedew November 7, 2012 Harlee490 … yes, NuCricket is quite a bit more interesting now. I just wish she'd stopped being painted as the vengeful villain in her efforts to bring Phyllis to justice. What I don't quite like is Ronan breezing back into town from whatever quest he was on elsewhere to become seemingly the only detective in town. He broke his oath to help save Phyllis so it will interesting to see how she reacts when he turns his radar toward Summer's evil deeds. Log in to Reply soapjunkie88 November 7, 2012 Somehow I see that Christine is staying to eventually leave town together with Paul. It's just a feeling but I strongly believe that Doug Davidson's days on the show could be numbered. I don't see them planing a long love story between Paul and Christine. Log in to Reply harlee490 November 7, 2012 Tedew…yes it will be interesting when Ronan needs to investigate Summer and adding to mix the boy he's being a mentor is the victim. I think it will change for Christine I still want her to sue Phyllis in civil court but Phyllis is loathed in GC the way it should be. Like the when Phyllis went to Billy begging him to come back to NE because of Adam and Billy saying it wouldn't do any good and quipped to Phyllis "I guess I could always run him down" I busted a gut and Phyllis was over it. It should be that way. It will change soon because the new Latino is a cop which could cause a clash with Ronan especially if he finds evidence of Ronan's lying about Phyllis. I still hope this boy is Ronan's son and that would add a whole different dynamic to the story and throwing Nina in the mix. Nina already detests Phyllis and this would fan the flames. Log in to Reply Yoryla November 7, 2012 I have to say, this was a great interview. Lauralee Bell seems like a very funny and genuine person. I have to admit, I am surprised they wanted her to stay on the show. I would have thought Sony wanted all Bells away from Y&R. Well, good for her! Storywise – of course Paul & Christine belong together. They always have and always will. Chris had ample opportunity to dump Paul to be with Danny in the 90's, but she never did it, because she never wanted to. She was over it. And I totally get that she would sleep with Danny, because I do believe the sexual chemistry is still there. But it's exactly like LLB said: Paul is her *adult* love. And the Paul/Nina pairing was ridiculous from the beginning, they have always been just friends and nothing more, and now suddenly after 20 years they magically have feelings for each other? Yeah right. It seems they were just "thrown in" together because they were the last ones standing. However, I do agree that Chris and Paul will probably end up leaving together. And actually, if Doug Davidson were to leave, that is the most approriate ending for his character that I could think of. I don't see this regime giving Doug Davidson any kind of meaningful storyline, at least one on the front-burner. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 November 7, 2012 Cricket has become SLIGHTLY more interesting, but they need to push her character much further. She was always just such a self-righteous, annoying, condescending little twit during the 80s, 90s and 2000s. I found her to be practically unlikable. Maybe these writers can make me give a damn……… Log in to Reply mango November 7, 2012 Ditto on Tricia Cast. What a talent. She's really wasted. I thought she would be more involved with Ronan, but apparently not. Log in to Reply Duchess November 7, 2012 Great interview! I met LLB at the fanclub dinner last year and she could not have been any sweeter or friendlier. I find it very interesting that MAB was writing her off the show but JFP and JG wanted to keep her! Glad she's staying and very happy with the new regime so far. My Y&R that I'd known and loved for 25 years is slowly coming back! Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens November 7, 2012 Why do I get the sense Maria is the only Bell truly upset about her termination? The family had to know how truly bad she sucked!! *** Log in to Reply SoapSnob November 7, 2012 Ditto, soapjunkie88. I, too, feel that Paul and Christine reuniting will be Paul's exit story… As in he moves to DC to be with Christine after they get back together/remarry. However, they likely will recur. But what would that mean for Nina? I would so enjoy having all three remain on the show in contract roles. There is so much history and too much story that could be mined with these beloved, long-term characters. However, it is very clear that The Young & the Restless is really going to put the emphasis on the young in its title. And I do not think that is a bad thing at all. It just needs to ensure it is balanced.

Log in to Reply pferrando November 7, 2012 I too have always liked Chris with Paul. I think it would be a great story since Nina and Chris have been best friends for so long. I love a great trio like this, especially since there is so much history that can be explored (which is why I applauded MAB revisiting Phyllis running down them years ago). Even though that was scrapped too soon, let's see what Josh has in mind for them. I like seeing Lauralee grow up on the show and just how far she's come as an actress. I also like her edge and hope she is somehow able to make Phyllis pay! Lots of potential here. Log in to Reply ChrisGa November 8, 2012 Let me say this first–I think Nina is one of the absolute best characters ever created by Bill Bell and Tricia Cast is one of the finest actresses to ever set foot in front of the Y&R cameras. Having said that, I've NEVER bought into the Paul/Nina "relationship"(loose term IMO as Nina only features a couple of episodes every three months or so)and have always thought Paul belonged with Cricket(yes, she'll always be Cricket to me)so I'm glad this is being revisited rather than the Danny/Cricket rehash that MAB was attempting. Personally, I'd love to see Cricket back on a regular basis though, as many have noted, this could indicate a possible exit for DD now that JFP/JG seem to be building up the younger set. Log in to Reply pferrando November 9, 2012 Oh my god really? They burned Gloworm too? I don't really care about that set but really? Now that is lazy writing. Let's sell the damn thing or just close it. I hope Josh stops taking the easy way out. Dumb. Does this mean Gloria will be on more? If so, that's a positive. Log in to Reply stefanstavros November 9, 2012 Would someone please clear something up for me that I've been wanting to know for some time now? During one of my breaks from watching Y&R (I think I was living in Mexico then) I heard that after Paul and Cricket had separated that there was an incident when he "raped" her. Please explain what happened because I never understood how any writer could have Paul do something so completely out of character. Thanks. Log in to Reply harlee490 November 9, 2012 Paul didn't rape nobody! The only thing that Paul did horrible was give Nikki VD many many moons ago. Log in to Reply shirls429 November 9, 2012 :love: I think it is a great idea to reunite Christine and Paul because,they have great chemistry and it will be so nice to see Paul in love again with a great romantic storyline. Log in to Reply seaweed3 November 9, 2012 No need to worry, Paul is not leaving anytime soon. He already said it on his facebook page. I believe Christine will help him to get more storyline and airtime. Log in to Reply pferrando November 9, 2012 Paul did force himself on Christine. I don't remember the reason, but it was the first time we saw a dark side to Paul. I'm glad they are pairing them back up and also glad to hear he seems to be staying. Can't wait. Log in to Reply RealisticViewer December 6, 2012 I never saw the original Christine/Paul relationship. But I find this character boring, boring, boring. To me she is too stoic and has no personality.

Log in to Reply seaweed3 December 8, 2012 Wow, all I can say is that, if anyone was watching young and the restless when Paul and Christine were married it would be quite hard to miss their electrifying chemistry, it's too bad the newer viewers never had a chance to watch those two on screen.

The GK Sonic is a supported leading edge, free ride, highperformance four line kite with a 100% depower capability. Perfect for riders who want a fast, high-booting kite with perfect upwind performance, huge lift and a massive wind range. Experienced riders will be able to push the boundaries of their freeride performance thanks to the enourmous generation of power and speed from the offset. The combination of its high-aspect-ratio, flat profiles and thin leading edge gives the Sonic its superior flight performance that will also be enjoyed by intermediate riders who are looking to advance their skills.
Big, robust and manly are the character traits we picked up on first impressions of the 14 metre Sonic. The chunky, tough leading edge down to the simple yet rugged bar system leave you in no doubt that this is a big boy's kite, in this 14 metre size at least. All the fixtures and fittings are good, the one pump is sturdy, the stitched areas on the kite are well reinforced and there's plenty of attention to detail in the construction. The bar has been improved for this year and is one of the cleanest you'll see. Although not quite as lush as some of the most refined on the market, it's free of clutter and has some nice features. The pushaway plastic chicken-loop release is very simple to operate, coming away nicely and it clicks back together very easily too. There is a little knack to it, but a quick practice on the beach is all you need. Plastic moulded, the release is pretty much see-through, which is a nice touch and seems quite tough. Another nice little feature on the bar is the trimming system. It's situated above the bar and operates with a webbing strap, but the best part is that it's on a loop, so if you have shorter arms and struggle to reach most systems then you can pull the whole system round its own loop so that the straps are closer to you. It does mean that you're reducing the amount of depower a bit in the kite, as you're not going to have as much line to be able to shorten, but it means that you will be able to comfortably reach the system. The kite itself has a lot of depower on the throw anyway. When you first put this kite up you can tell it's got a lot of power. We were out in conditions from about 12 ? 16 knots and were never short on juice. The light wind performance is very good. It's not a quick, whippy kite, but at 14 metres, you wouldn't expect that. Heavier riders should be looking at this as, even depowered, it provides a solid and strong feeling. Pulling hard it's got loads of grunt and plenty of floaty hang-time; in the light winds it was a credit to it that we could yank it back and still get some hefty boost with good hang-time to hold us up there nicely. The bar feels nice and positive in your hands and the kite is really steady and well behaved.
If you're over 85 kilos and looking for a really good kite to blast around on in light winds and still be able to do some nice floaty jumps and transitions when other people are bogging then you should take a look at this Sonic. Although it's not a totally new concept, it flies efficiently, is obviously well developed and does its job very well. For a big 14 metre the key to its excellent light wind ability is that it flies quickly on the up and down strokes. A lot of big kites really struggle to be really efficient on these power strokes and this makes it a lot of fun in these conditions.
Fantastic, powerful and floaty boost in light winds.
Inject it with a bit more urgency.

Is it my TV or are they both kind of orange in that hot tub?
That is not a terribly flattering dress on Lindzi. And Ben's bowtie is super dorky.
It was me. I let the dogs out.
Does that girl own a hairbrush? She beautiful but she needs to do something with her hair too!
More cliches about opening up and being volnerable while slobbering in another hot tub...warming her up for the fantasy suit...For me being with Ben would be more like a nightmare rather than a fantasy...

- Knit Hook
- Crochet Hook, size 5 or 6
- Scrap of smooth yarn for anchor yarn.
- Large sewing needle and scrap of yarns (black and orange) This is optional for snowman face.
- Pattern
You can plan your scarf using all the sections and graphs, or simply choose the designs you like and make one color sections between them. This way, you can have the scarf as long as you want. If you decide to have large sections of solid color, be sure to purchase an extra skein of that color yarn so that you will have plenty.
Finished width is aprox 6". Length is 60" before fringe.
Cast On 16 stitches in Stockinette stitch using an anchor yarn of any scrap of smooth
yarn. It will be removed when the scarf ends are finished off. Graph #1 starts with green yarn.
Work 4 rows in green.
Tie on white yarn at 2nd needle.
Work 1 row in white yarn. Do not cut. Pick up green and
work 1 additional row. Cut green and knot. Tie on Red.
You will now work the Candy Cane stripes in red and white
for a total of 12 rows.
Cut red and knot.
Work 4 rows with white yarn.
Tie on red yarn and cut and knot the white.
Work 4 rows in Red.
Tie on the white yarn and cut and knot the red.
Work 4 rows in white yarn.
Tie on the green yarn. Cut and knot the white.
You will now work the snowflake design:
Work 3 rows with green yarn.
Tie on white at center of knitting.
Row 4-Weave needles #8 from front to back,
lay down the white and work the row with green yarn skipping the needle with white yarn.
Continue working each row with the green and white per the graph. Cut and knot the white.
Work last 3 rows in green. Cut and knot the green.
Tie on the white and work 3 rows.
Tie in the green and work 2 rows.
Our next section will be the bold stripes with red and white yarn.
Tie on Red yarn at 2nd needle from left.
Cut the green yarn and knot.
Tie on the White yarn at 5th needles.
The white yarn will be the main yarn and will be worked in stockinette stitch. The red will be worked from front to back on needles 1 thru 4 and needles 9 thru 12.
Work each row with red stitches first.
Lay red down and work the white sections in stockinette skipping the red stitches.
Work these stripes for a total of 18 rows.
Cut and knot the red yarn.
You will now work the wreath section.
Work the white yarn for 2 rows.
Tie on the green at needles #8.
Work the graph with green yarn from
front to back on green stitches.
Work the white yarn in stockinette stitch, always skipping the green as you work each row. You can add in the red yarn per the graph, or the red berries can be added to completed knitting by whip stitch and sewing needle. If doing this, just fill in the design with green stitches. Cut and knot the green yarn. Complete the section with 1 row of white.
The next graph to be worked is the fun Checkerboard.
Working the checkerboard, you are actually
doing vertical and horizontal stripes
Tie on Red yarn. Cut and knot the white.
Work 2 rows in red. Do not cut. Tie on
Work 1 row in green. Do not cut.
Work 1 row in red.
Work 1 row in green.
Work 1 row in red.
Next row is red and green, so use the green weaving
front to back on needles 1 thru 4 and needles 9 thru 12.
Weave the row in stockinette with red.
Next row, tie on white yarn at 2nd needle.
Work each row with the 3 colors per the graph to create
the color sections. Use the white yarn as the main yarn
and work in stockinette stitch after the red and green
sections have been wrapped.
Note: When you have the red and green sections
together with front to back wraps, twist the skeins at the
joint of the 2 colors so that the sections will be connected. Otherwise, you will need to
whip them together with some thread after the scarf is complete. Either method will
work and be seamless.
Work row #20 in red yarn. Cut and knot the red.
Work 1 row in white. Cut and knot the white yarn.
The green yarn will begin our next graph, the Snowman.
A real snowman is never perfect in his roundness, so don't be too concerned about yours. You can add or subtract stitches as desired to create the shape you like. You can also add some black worsted yarn to the top of head for a hat. You can add details like a carrot nose and a knitted scarf if you would like and this can be done once the scarf is complete.
Note: If you want the snowman to sit upright when the scarf if worn straight down, you'll want to work the graph part of the snowman upside-down. Then finish the end of the scarf with the red and white section. We will include this version to make this clearer, but be sure to do the red and white section once the snowman is complete so that your scarf ends with the red and white.
Working from head end:
Work 3 rows in green yarn.
Tie in white yarn at needle #7 from left end. Work the snowman with green as the main
yarn in stockinette and the white working front to back on designated needles.
Once you have completed the rows with the snowman design, cut and knot the white
Work 2 rows in green yarn. Cut and knot.
Tie in red yarn.
Work 1 row in red. Do not cut.
Tie in white yarn.
Work 1 row in white.
Work 4 rows of red.
Work 1 row in white.
Work 2 rows in red.
Bind off using the crochet hook and lifting 2 loops. Pull one thru one.
Return to the anchor yarn and bind off in same method.
Fringe and finishing:
We have used a single strand of white yarn at each end stitch for the fringe. Since your scarf is 16 stitches wide, you will need to cut 16 strands for each end or a total of 32 strands of white yarn. Each of the pieces should measure aprox 15" long. Fold and pull a strand thru each stitch using the crochet hook. Wrap over and pull thru fringe loop to knot. Once complete, you can trim the ends for a more even finish. The ends of the fringe will slowly unravel and expose the softness of the yarn and the gold threads flowing thru it. This will create a soft and fluffy finish to your Holiday scarf. Return to the wreath and snowman and add any detail that you would like. You may want to add more red berries to the wreath, or an orange carrot nose to your snowman and some little black 'rock' eyes. You can add some black to his head for a hat. You can do this using your sewing needle and scrap yarn. See some details in the photo.

The long-running dispute between Armenians and Azerbaijanis over the mountainous enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh has particular significance for the historic town of Shusha - which is seen as a cultural treasure by both ethnic groups.
In the 1990s, ethnic Armenian forces seized control of Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan, causing the region's Azerbaijanis to flee. It's still internationally recognised as being part of Azerbaijan.

Diabetes-Savvy Mental Health Professionals Needed
Jan Chait
October 9, 2007
It was 1991 or '92 and Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel was the first book I read all the way through in something like three years. I'd been through a period—a long period—of burnout and depression, stemming from uncontrolled diabetes and a stressful job with a daily newspaper.
I'd tried to work through it, even moving from my job as a reporter into the night city desk slot when that editor tired of editing and wanted to go back to being a reporter. It didn't work.
The days of rewarding myself for completing a major project by reading the newest circa 1980's Tom Clancy book were over; I could barely follow the plot line of a Reader's Digest article, much less Clancy's twisted plots and intrigue. I was thoroughly and completely nonfunctional.
I packed up my desk and left the paper. After all those years of chasing deadlines, constant schedule changes, never knowing when I went in what the day would bring, I felt like I'd run full speed into a very solid brick wall.
We all hear about the possibility of diabetes complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, blindness, and amputation, but diabetes has a "hidden" complication: depression.
Shelley, a friend of mine who has 30 years of Type 1 diabetes under her belt and a doctorate in psychology, works primarily with people who have cancer and their families, but pairs her personal and professional backgrounds to occasionally counsel distressed people with diabetes.
"Major depression is present in 11% of people with diabetes," she says, compared to only 2% or 3% of people in the general population. "Elevated depressive symptoms are present in 31% of people with diabetes." One-third of those who are both depressed and have diabetes are depressed at a level that affects functioning and quality of life.
Wow! That's a lot! So where are all the psychologists who specialize in chronic conditions? And, more importantly, what are our diabetes advocacy groups doing to rectify the situation?
…And there this blog entry sat (I started writing it in June or July) as I tried, off and on, to find an answer to that question. While I managed to kind of scratch the surface, I'm still left mainly scratching my head.
I posed the question to Dr. William H. Polonsky, Ph.D., C.D.E., when I met him in August at the American Association of Diabetes Educators meeting in St. Louis. It sounded as if he had the same questions.
As he said in an e-mail he sent to me later, "In the very early '90s, I had worked to put together a national directory of mental health professionals who had knowledge/skill/interest in diabetes." However, he couldn't get the support he needed to publish it.
When he approached the American Diabetes Association (ADA) about publishing the directory, "they decided that they did not want to do so, fearing possible legal ramifications. That was completely understandable and not unreasonable, but disappointing nonetheless," he says.
The one and only copy of the directory did no more than occupy space on a shelf until last year when "after realizing how terribly out of date it was, I—with great sadness—tossed it."
There is, however, good news on the horizon, Polonsky reported, saying that the ADA and the American Psychological Association (APA) have gotten together to sponsor a diabetes training program for psychologists. "The first four-hour training program was just delivered at the APA National Meeting in San Francisco" in August, Polonosky wrote. "So there is, finally, some movement in a positive direction."
So I contacted the APA's public affairs office: How many training sessions did they plan to have? Where would they be? How often? What's the potential interest level?
I needed to talk to its continuing education department, I was told. Which kind of scratched its head when I called. So I called the ADA.
To make a long story short, there apparently was just that one "live" session, but APA members can do an online continuing education program. I was told somebody would get back to me with more information, but that was, oh, a month or so ago. I don't know why I haven't heard back but, in my 30-plus years in one form or another of communications, I've yet to find anybody who was reticent about spreading positive news.
I looked around for information on the program on the APA website, but couldn't find it. However, I'm not an APA member, so it could be in an area I'm unable to access.
In the meantime, Polonsky still believes a national directory is a good idea and could perhaps be done in conjunction with his Behavioral Diabetes Institute.
"I will try again sometime in the next year or so," he says. "After all, we don't now need to publish hard copies; just need to get it on the Web."
All he needs is some support.

I am a mother of a teenager with type 1 diabetes. He is a teenager and has never gotten over the resentment of this life long disease. He is angry and does not accept this at all. I know all teens have hormones and issues, I just want to know what mental health services are out there to address this type of problem. Is there a connection with his mind and the damage from the irregular blood sugars over time. Is there a link to his emotional ability to cope and his body chemistry that day? Has there been any info on this. Where do I go for more help? Sincerly a mom who just wants to take away the pain of this from her child.

BRENDA, Ideal Protein Manger and IT Manager
I joined Vista Family Health in 1995. Since then, I have done pretty much every job here. I am a board certified practice manager and in 2007, I completed my accreditation with MGMA as a Certified Medical Practice Executive. Although keeping up with the many changes in health technology takes a good portion of my time, I love managing our Ideal Protein program.
In December 2009, I started the Ideal Protein weight loss program. I was unhealthy, overweight and sick and tired of being sick and tired. Ideal Protein changed my life! I lost 88 pounds in six months! In April 2010, I established the Ideal Protein program at Vista with only 5 patients. Less than two years later, Vista has grown to be one of the most successful Ideal Protein clinics in the Northwest with more than 25,000 pounds lost.
Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping patients reach their goals and get their lives back. Having successfully completed the program, I know what it takes to get results. I understand how hard it is. However, there is no amount of chocolate in the world that would ever make me want to go back. This is my last diet ever!
CASEY, Ideal Protein Coach
I love being a part of the Ideal Protein weight loss team at Vista Family Health! After reaching my own weight loss goal of losing over 40 lbs on the Ideal Protein protocol, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help and encourage patients to meet their personal weight loss goals, as well.
I believe in the Ideal Protein weight loss diet. Unlike so many diets I had tried in the past, the Ideal Protein protocol is medically designed, scientifically based, professionally supervised and FDA approved. It really works! It worked for me, and I have the privilege of watching it work for others every day.
It is exciting to be part of a process that is truly life-changing for so many people. It is my joy and honor to walk through your weight loss journey with you, to help guide and support you every step of the way.
CHERYL, Ideal Protein Coach
Vista has been my family's health care provider since 1995 because of the high quality of care and attentiveness that the staff and doctors provide.
I joined Vista Family Health in 2011 as a diet coach for the Ideal Protein weight loss program. As an Ideal Protein coach, I strive to provide excellent and friendly service to our patients. I have seen the program work in so many lives and truly love watching our patients melt away week after week. I understand how difficult weight loss can be. My goal is to support you, encourage you and sustain you during your time with us until you reach your target weight loss goal.
RAE, Ideal Protein Coach
On February 1st, 2012, I once again decided to lose weight and I wanted it to come off fast. That's when I found Ideal Protein. It's a safe and effective way to lose weight fast and it helps you understand how to eat healthy food. By March 30th, I lost 22 pounds and felt great. I finally found my last diet ever!
When the opportunity opened up to become an Ideal Protein coach at Vista Family Health, I jumped at the chance. I look forward to helping patients with their last diet and to change the way they view food too. I love meeting new people and watching the delight everyone has when they achieve the results they want. I also love to see patients be able to stop taking their medications associated with being overweight. Come join us today and change your life too!
MELLIE, Ideal Protein Coach
I started working at Vista Family Health in 2002 as a janitor. In 2007, I began working part-time as a receptionist until 2010, when I moved up to full-time. During my time with the front staff, I learned the daily operations of our family practice.
At the beginning of 2010, I chose to start the Ideal Protein weigh loss diet. It worked incredibly well for me. Within a few dedicated months, I lost 57 pounds! The Ideal Protein program changed my life. I felt like a new person and I wanted to help others achieve their weight loss goals.
I joined the Ideal Protein department at Vista in the fall of 2010, as a certified coach. In the spring of 2011, I was promoted to Ideal Protein department lead. However, after a year of service, I chose to step down and move back to part-time to be a mom. Working with the Vista team is a joy. We all take great pride in providing the best care possible to our patients.
PEGGY, Ideal Protein Coach
I have known Dr. Flesher for many years, and was so excited to hear about a weight loss program he offered at Vista that actually works. Having been "morbidly obese" for longer than I care to remember, I understand the pain associated with being overweight. I lost 180 pounds on the Ideal Protein diet. I am Vista's "biggest loser" to date.
After many years of service, I retired from Stratton Surveying & Mapping in Kennewick to work part-time at Vista as a diet coach. It's my way of giving back. My goal is to help others achieve the same results I worked so hard to achieve. The staff members at Vista are caring and professional. I look forward to a long relationship together.
