Mary McCormack: Pregnant on In Plain Sight and In Real Life!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Mary McCormack is pregnant with her third child, all with producer husband Michael Norris. This is significant not just because it's wonderful for her but a USA Network rep says it will be written into the upcoming fourth season of In Plain Sight!
"Over the course of Season Four, we will see how Mary's pregnancy will affect her job, her complex relationships with her partner, her sister and ultimately, with the father of her child - which is the big reveal," the network teased in a press release.
"Stay tuned for the twists and turns leading up to the big secret in Mary's life."
Could it be FBI Agent Farber (Steven Weber)? Someone else? We'll find out soon enough when Season Four of In Plain Sight kicks off Sunday, May 1.

What is this beautiful actress has made with her lips? It was horrible to watch!
I am so sorry that thiese are the final episodes of In Plain Sight. I really have enjoyed the program and I am over seventy . the mother of 5 and grandmother of ten. I vote for another year or two of. Program.
You have some nerve talking about disabled children! Go f yourself, really I have a disabled child and if you say the word retarded around me I will cut your tongue out. You need to get a life no one would ever want you around their child disabled or not. You are a waste of breathing space. I work with these children and they are the most loving people in the world God help you if you ever have a child with a disability that would be a cruel injustice to the child.
Erin, Seriously please stop breeding!
I do not want to foot the bill for your "special" child/children. What can they do aside from soak up public funding? They can't work really A greeter at wallyworld does not a career make sorry but the turth hurts.
Countless tests are out there to test for these disorders before they come to furition and I for one am ashamed of the human populace for allowing ourselfs to continue bringing humans into this world who can never fully partake of it. So the word Retarted bothers you, Retarted as defined means:
Retardation is the act or result of delaying; the extent to which anything is retarded or delayed; that which retards or delays.
as for the other posters who "cringe" at the use of GD etc etc hun do yourself a favor and get over yourself, I am sure your 17 yr old girl has already done,seen, and said a lot worse.
you walk around with blinders on and call yourself a mother, pity, a mother talks openly and freely with their child about what they consider right and wrong, not posting sermans on random net spots to uplife your own sense of self rightiousness.
If God cared don't you think he would have done something about it by now???
what worse saying Goddam it or a priest molesting little boys? Pick your battles or stfu.
someone sick of everyone PC BS.
I am a loyal fan and I love the way they have incorporated Mary's real-life pregnancy. It brings out a lot more to Mary. She is made to be a real go better and nothing will drop her from getting the job done. I believe the pregnancy will strengthen her character and hold her back. She can still be a woman with a badge and mother both whom have nothing to do with the other. She knows how to prioritize and will not clash what setting she is playing. Good luck Mary with the multi-tasking. You go girl.
Two points - it's just a TV show. Second and more important - birth control is terrific and very important but it is not 100% reliable. Even when used correctly. I have a child that proves it.
Will all you whining retards, Fuck Off (please)!
Her being pregnant will ruin the entire show ! Mary's role is not the motherly, loving or caring type. I have already lost interest in the show. She no longer looks hot in a pair of blue jeans and the character who plays her sister Brandy, has the same dysfunctional problems but a new tight face and cat eyes. The entire show is a total mess. Hopefully when they return next season, there will be a new Brandy without the plastic surgery and a back to normal Mary.
Wow- I was just researching a complaint by a library patron who found the use of the word "retarded" in a 1993 novel objectionable. I was prepared to tell her the author was using it as part of a historical setting to illustrate thinking of that time- now I am not so sure. I don't know what context it was used in for the show- I hope it was not used to describe someone.
I hope that the writers of In Plain Site stop using the Lord's name in vain! I watch the show with my 17 year old daughter and cringe when the characters yell out "oh Christ!", "Jesus!" and "Goddamn!"

Competitor GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Prosensa's drisapersen -- also an "exon skipping" drug, like eteplirsen -- seems to work as well, and there's plenty of room for both drugs in this market. I'm staying with my long recommendation, and will take a very close look at Prosensa's initial public offering if the company chooses to pursue that path.
I've had other modest successes on the long side. Although I still feel hesitant about the long-term commercial opportunity in hepatitis C, I recommended buying Gilead Sciences (GILD) in late July. The stock has risen 37% since that column. Unfortunately, I got a little too cute with my trading and advised waiting for a pullback below $50 per share. Gilead's shares came close but never quite passed that threshold, so I should really only get half credit. Lesson: if you want to own a stock over at least the medium term -- for me, that means six to nine months -- buy a bit right away if the price seems reasonable and worry about building a larger position on pullbacks or weakness over time.
Gilead feels pricey here, for good reason, but the stock probably continues to work into year-end. Even so, investors should consider taking partial profits. Expectations for sofosbuvir (formerly GS-7977) in Hep C are sky-high and Street analyst estimates already reflect a continued successful launch of Stribild in HIV. I worry about whether the stock can continue it's astonishing run through 2013 without another major upside surprise.
Although I correctly predicted Celgene's (CELG) Abraxane would work in pancreatic cancer, shares remain basically flat, pending announcement of the detailed phase III data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in early 2013. That presentation, which I expect to be positive, should stoke investor excitement. If it doesn't, investors should move on, as it likely indicates that shares are due for an extended pause. (Celgene has had a lot of positive news in recent months.)

Kate Walsh Pregnant ... with Private Practiceby Steve Marsi at . Comments
This just in: Kate Walsh is totally pregnant (with a TV show)!
When Extra asked the recently married 40-year-old actress the inevitable "when are you having a baby" question, Kate Walsh replied:
"Right now, my baby is Private Practice... she is beautiful, strong, and growing every week."
We couldn't agree more.
Extra then asked Kate Walsh, 40, if she was indeed pregnant, to which she joked: "I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good!"
After a short courtship earlier this year, Kate Walsh and Alex Young, 35, a 20th Century Fox production executive, married in September in Ojai, Calif.
Walsh sat down with Extra this week on the set of Private Practice and, for the record, denied being pregnant in the literal sense, explaining:
"No... Both of us are pretty much working constantly and seeing each other whenever we can... that's him, the pretty blond guy over there!"
Private Practice returns with an all-new episode tonight at 9.

She is just so beautiful, and look at her with her Hubby. A wonderful actress deserves to have someone good in her life.
Kate Walsh forever.
Anyone who could make people laugh is cool for me.
Love Private Practice, absolutely want it to continue for a very long time.
she is so funny
I love, love, love Kate. Borderline obsessed with her. (Don't judge me.) =) anddd...if her husband mysteriously disappears, you know who to blame. brilliant!
What is it with the media's obsession with celebrity babies. Maybe Kate doesn't want children. Maybe she's content with being happily married and having a successful television show of her own.
she's the most amazing women I know!
"I'm pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good!"
^^and very hilarious

The MicroView is the first chip-sized Arduino compatible that lets you see what your Arduino is thinking using a built-in OLED display.
You've never seen an Arduino™ compatible like this. With a built-in OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode Display) you can see what your Arduino is thinking without having to connect it to your computer.
"I'm a big fan of tiny Arduinos like this." - John Biggs, Techcrunch
"The MicroView is going to change the way I teach Arduino."
- Justin Clayden, Electronics Lecturer
No more cryptic "Hello World" LED blink sequences or shoehorning oversized displays onto your tiny Arduino™. Development is much easier when you can see what's going on.
Absolutely! The MicroView is the first Arduino to ship with built-in tutorials!
The immediacy of being able to see sensor values in realtime (like the Light Dependent Resistor above) really makes the whole learning process so much easier!
In addition to the built-in tutorials, we've also built a cross platform course that runs on iPad, Microsoft Surface and modern Web Browsers on Windows, Mac and Linux.
The course takes you step by step through building a 11 different circuits including:
The interactive course is included within the "Learning Kit" and "Educators Kit" rewards tier.
If you already know Arduino™, you will love the Arduino Library we've made that allows you to quickly display text, sprites, graphs and gauges. Checkout the awesome video made by SparkFun to get a few ideas!

The Center for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity "as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility." Plagiarism violates those basic values.
Plagiarism is using someone else's words or ideas while passing them off as your own. Turning in your own ideas is fundamental to the exchange that goes on between student and professor. Little is accomplished when a professor provides feedback on someone else's work.
Within the context of the CBA, it is possible to note some of the types of plagiarism that might be of concern when students include in their papers the exact words (direct quote) or ideas written by another person.
Plagiarism is cheating. It violates the basic values of academic integrity. Academic institutions of all types consider plagiarism to be a major violation of academic integrity. The consequences are usually severe and can be damaging to your education and your career.
The University of Akron has a statement on plagiarism that every student should be aware of. It is located in the Code of Student Conduct. You should visit that site and read it carefully.
Anyone else's words and ideas can be used if you reference (cite) their source. If you use the exact words, put them in quotation marks. If you have restated someone else's ideas in your own words, a practice called paraphrasing, the source still needs to be indicated. Taking a sentence from the Internet, rearranging the words a bit, and substituting one or two words is not acceptable unless you cite the source. Generally, you should avoid this practice as plagiarism might be viewed as probably having occurred under certain circumstances, and you may also be violating copyright restrictions.
The source of facts that are very widely known, such as saying that people are held to the Earth by gravity, need not be cited. If you are unsure how widely known something is, and you found it in a specific source, cite the source. Too little citation is far worse than too much. If the fact is controversial, cite its source.
Our intellectual traditions are based on finding, reflecting upon, and advancing the ideas of others. This is a dialogue that continues across the ages. A dialogue only makes sense when you know who the participants are.
Using large chunks of text, if you have indicated the source, is not plagiarism. But it may be a violation of copyright restrictions. It also will probably not make for a good paper. So quote sparingly.
There are many manuals about how to cite and several different styles are generally used. The basics boil down to this. When you use a quotation or paraphrase ideas, your citation should contain the following information:
WHO – who wrote or said the words or expressed the idea
WHERE – in what publication did this appear, under what title, published by whom
WHEN – the date of publication
Your professor may tell you about a specific style to be used. But if you at least supply these three pieces of information, you will ensure that you have not plagiarized.
For example, let's say I am writing about the future of computers and I use material I learned while reading a book written by Ken Lauden.
Ken Laudon, an insightful information systems professor, wrote a book in 1986 in which he predicted that we would soon be living in a "Dossier Society," a society with "an aggregation of power in the federal government without precedent in peacetime America."
To properly cite this quotation, I could write:
Laudon, Ken (1986). The Dossier Society. New York: Columbia University Press, p. 4.
Now anyone who wants to check that I have accurately quoted these words, or to see their context, can find the exact location where they were published. That's the essence of citation: tell WHO, WHAT, WHEN, and WHERE with as great precision as possible, and you have given the necessary information.
Web pages are published materials. Using words from a web page is no different than using words from a book. Using words from someone else's unpublished papers also must be acknowledged. It's plagiarism if it's not your own.
Further information on referencing the works of others can be found in standard manuals such as:
or on web sites such as:
There are many such web sites that come and go, but the information on them is widely available from numerous sources.
If a professor discovers that you have plagiarized, he or she may take a variety of actions. He or she may contact you to hear your side of the story. He or she may tell you that you will have to redo the assignment, receive a lower grade, receive an "F" in the course, or something else, including referral of the case to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. If you disagree with the charge of plagiarism or the sanction, you may request the intervention of the Chair of the professor's department. If the three of you do not resolve the case to everyone's satisfaction, it may be referred to the Office of Student Judicial Affairs. Here you will have an appointment with a representative who will again attempt to reach a resolution about the case. If this is not possible, your case may be referred to the University Hearing Board. A formal hearing will be convened, from which will emerge a recommendation to the President of the University either to find you not responsible (not guilty) or responsible (guilty), and if so, to recommend sanctions. Such sanctions may include a lowered grade, an "F" in the course, suspension from the University, or even separation from the University. You should thoroughly familiarize yourself with the materials on the Office of Student Judicial Affairs website.

Here's the soup:
These are the cookies. They have Mounds, Snickers, Three Musketeers, Hershey Special Dark and Dove Promises:
I did end up doing the first day of the JM Sparkers November Challenge...30 Day Shred Level 2 this morning. It had been well over a year since I've done it. I think if I do it again, I'll use 5lb weights but wanted to go light since I hadn't done it in so long. That didn't feel like enough exercise so I also did Jackie Warner Power Circuit Training 15 minute total body (not enough time to add on 40 minute workout).
I've got 17-bean and barley soup in the crockpot now that the weather is warming up again...what's up with that? It's been a while since we've had it, so it'll be good anyway.
We had quite a few trick-or-treaters last night but still have candy leftover so I'll be baking cookies tonight with the leftovers. Chop 'em up and use them instead of chocolate chips. Yes, there will be a picture later.
It's going to be a busy week at work. Lots of patient samples to work on, a new HPLC is getting installed in our upstairs lab and on the same day there is the Country Store fundraiser that I'm baking cookies for. And of course, the poster for the conference. Oh well, it keeps me off the streets.
Happy Monday, all!
I baked some apple turnovers last night because my husband loves them and I couldn't find any frozen ones so these were from scratch (well, I didn't make the puff pastry but I did assemble them and make the filling).
He ate two last night and the remaining two this morning for breakfast while I had oatmeal.
I started week 7 of C25K and instead of cooling down at the end I hiked on the treadmill for another 25 minutes and then cooled down. I also did my jumping jacks, push ups and crunches. It feels kind of weird not doing the bootcamp videos but it's nice to do what I want.
I'm deciding if I'm going to do the JM Sparkers November challenge. I wouldn't do the T Th days anyway because they're running days for me and Sunday is the off day but that's a running day for me. I'll see what I feel like tomorrow morning, I guess.
It should be a good Halloween. We've got the candy so now we just have to wait for the kids. I'm looking forward to seeing the cute costumes.
Happy Sunday and Happy Halloween everybody.
Wow, there are a lot of halloween emoticons for some reason.
Went out for dinner last night (only took about 20 minutes to decide on Mexican/Taqueria). We were going to go to one but realized they pretty much only had shell fish on the menu (and I don't like shell fish) so we found a different one. It had Oaxacan food. Very different. I got enchiladas. The tortillas were folded in quarters and covered in mole and the meat was on the side. Tasty! But I did miss my rice and beans.
Today I decided I'd try some yoga. I figured some extra good stretching might me good for me. I popped in the Elle Make Better Yoga and did the first one. It was okay but it was hard to follow the directions without actually watching and you're supposed to be doing the poses. After that one, I tried out the Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown. Much easier to follow without actually looking at the TV and a pretty good workout. I think I'll make this my Saturday thing. I'm hoping it will finally get rid of that on and off random lower back pain that I have. And I certainly know I need the stretching.
Today is not too busy. Some laundry and grocery shopping. It's good to have a relaxing weekend after having lots of busy ones.
Have a fabulous Saturday!
I got up and did Jillian Michaels' No More Trouble Zones for the first time in about a month. It wasn't as hard as it was the last time I did it. Must be all those pushups and crunches (I could already do the jumping jacks no problem).
The lab people were very happy to see some cookies and also happy that I wasn't bringing them any samples today.
My boss has me making a poster for the ASN (American Society of Nephrology) conference in a few weeks....fun. At least I don't have to go. But it does require PowerPoint which didn't come on my computer. Luckily our IT guy was nice enough to loan me a copy to install :-)
In my rush to leave this morning, I forgot my lunch. Part of it, anyway. I remembered my broccoli and my breakfast (Ezekial english muffin with peanut butter....so tasty) but neglected to bring the Amy's bean burrito I had planned to eat. I had to go down to the dreaded canteen and buy a sandwich. I ended up with half a "Plaza"- roast beef, turkey and swiss on a wheat roll. Not too bad but more sodium than I'd like. Oh well.
We'll be going out to eat tonight but I have no idea where. We'll probably spend a good 15-20 thinking of something (like we usually do).
I'm glad it's going to be a relaxing weekend. Nobody is coming over. If I don't get to Whole Foods today then I'll do it tomorrow but that'll be the big errand of the weekend.
Happy Friday!

Computer models are typically created by specialists using dedicated CAD software or animation packages. The more detailed the object, the more time and experience it takes to make it. One shortcut would be to scan a real life version of the desired object (if it exists), but 3D scanners are generally expensive, bulky machines that aren't practical for the average person. The advent of affordable, desktop-sized 3D scanners like the CADScan3D could change all that – and presents troubling legal issues for the growing maker movement. Read More
As more information becomes available in digital formats, it can be a little frustrating to not be able to simply bookmark or save any documents printed on ordinary paper. There are plenty of articles, recipes, letters, contracts, etc. that would be much more convenient if they were saved on a flash drive, which is where the NoteMark would come in handy. With a laser-projected sight and built-in camera that captures documents as high-definition photos, the ballpoint pen/scanner could be an invaluable tool for quickly digitizing and storing paper documents.

|The Message (MSG)
|New International Version (NIV)
|6 Doing something for you, bringing something to you - that's not what you're after. Being religious, acting pious - that's not what you're asking for. You've opened my ears so I can listen.
|6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have pierced; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
|7 So I answered, "I'm coming. I read in your letter what you wrote about me,

Striping Across Four Storage Nodes With GlusterFS On Fedora 12 - Page 2
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2010-03-12 16:18. ::
3 Setting Up The GlusterFS Client
There's a GlusterFS client rpm package for Fedora 12, but the problem with it is that you will get errors like df: `/mnt/glusterfs': Software caused connection abort or df: `/mnt/glusterfs': Transport endpoint is not connected when you try to access the GlusterFS share. That's why we build the GlusterFS client from the sources to avoid these problems.
Before we build the GlusterFS client, we install its prerequisites:
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
yum groupinstall 'Development Libraries'
yum install libibverbs-devel fuse-devel
Then we download the GlusterFS 2.0.9 sources (please note that this is the same version that is installed on the server!) and build GlusterFS as follows:
cd /tmp
At the end of the ./configure command, you should see something like this:
make && make install
Check the GlusterFS version afterwards (should be 2.0.9):
glusterfs --version
[root@client1 glusterfs-2.0.9]# glusterfs --version
Then we create the following two directories:
mkdir /mnt/glusterfs
Next we create the file /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol:
vi /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol
Make sure you use the correct server hostnames or IP addresses in the option remote-host lines!
That's it! Now we can mount the GlusterFS filesystem to /mnt/glusterfs with one of the following two commands:
glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs
mount -t glusterfs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs
You should now see the new share in the outputs of...
[root@client1 ~]# mount
... and...
df -h
[root@client1 ~]# df -h
(server1.example.com, server2.example.com, server3.example.com, and server4.example.com each have about 28.5GB of space for the GlusterFS filesystem, so that the resulting share has a size of about 4 x 28.5GB (114GB).)
Instead of mounting the GlusterFS share manually on the client, you could modify /etc/fstab so that the share gets mounted automatically when the client boots.
Open /etc/fstab and append the following line:
vi /etc/fstab
To test if your modified /etc/fstab is working, reboot the client:
After the reboot, you should find the share in the outputs of...
df -h
... and...
4 Testing
Now let's create a big test file on the GlusterFS share:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/glusterfs/test.img bs=1024k count=1000
ls -l /mnt/glusterfs
[root@client1 ~]# ls -l /mnt/glusterfs
Now let's check the /data/export directory on server1.example.com, server2.example.com, server3.example.com, and server4.example.com. You should see the test.img file on each node, but with different sizes (due to data striping):
ls -l /data/export
[root@server1 ~]# ls -l /data/export
ls -l /data/export
[root@server2 ~]# ls -l /data/export
ls -l /data/export
[root@server3 ~]# ls -l /data/export
ls -l /data/export
[root@server4 ~]# ls -l /data/export

Difference between force and torque0
Students often asked me what is the difference between force and torque? We might be aware about these terms that is force and torque. Let us understand the concept of force. Force according to a layman is an effort to change the state of a body from rest to motion or from motion to rest and it may also defined as an effort which tries to change the state but it may not change the state. For example, there may be heavy stone and we can try to change its state of rest but we may not be possible to do the same. (more…)
Difference between conservative and non conservative forces0
We all are aware about the concept of force, if not then force may be defined as any push or pull that can change the state of rest of an object or can change the velocity of the moving object or can change the direction of the object. Forces can be classified into two types: conservative and non conservative forces. To understand the concept of these two, we also must be aware about the concept of work. The work is said to be done when a body actually moves a distance along the direction of the force. Now let us discuss the difference between the conservative and non conservative force: (more…)
Object having zero velocity but still accelerating0
We all know that acceleration is rate of change of velocity. Thus according to this definition, if the velocity of the object is zero or constant, then its acceleration will be zero. But there are certain things in life where only definitions can not define another parameter but these parameters or things may be explained using certain logic. (more…)
3 disadvantages of ac over dc0
In the last article, we have discussed about the 8 advantages of alternating current over direct current. Today we will discuss the disadvantages or drawbacks of ac over dc. Let us discuss them one by one:
- First disadvantage is that the shock of the ac is attractive but the shock of dc is repulsive.
- At high voltages, it is more dangerous to work with ac than dc.
- In the processes like electrorefining, electroplating etc. , one can not use the ac. In these processes, only dc is used.
These are the 3 disadvantages of ac over dc. If you know more, please mention in the comment section.
8 Advantages of alternating current over direct current0
We all are aware of the concept of ac and dc. There are certain differences between two and also there are advantages and disadvantages or drawbacks of ac over dc. I will discuss the advantages in this article and disadvantages in the next article. Let us discuss them one by one.
Advantages of ac over dc: (more…)
The meaning of Transient Current0
We all must be aware about the meaning of the current. Yes, it is rate of flow of charge. Do you know that when an electric circuit having a ohmic resistance is switched on, the current reaches to maximum value almost in zero time and when the circuit is switched off, the current drops to zero from maximum value in a no time. This you can observe while switching on or off an electric circuit having ohmic resistance only.
But do you know that if there is inductor or capacitor in a circuit, the current will not become maximum from zero or from maximum to zero in no time. The current will take a finite time or one can say it is a gradual process. Thus the electric current which takes finite time to become maximum from zero or zero from maximum in circuits having inductors and capacitors (condensers), then such time of currents are called transient currents.
6 conditions for sustained inteference0
To understand the concept of interference and conditions for sustained interference, let us first discuss the superposition principle.
Superposition Principle:
Superposition principle enables us to find the resultant of two or more wave motions.
According to this principle, when two or more waves travelling through a medium superimpose upon one another, a new wave is formed in which resultant displacement . at any instant is equal to the vector sum of the displacements due to individual
waves . at that instant
For example, when crest (or trough) of one wave falls on crest (or trough) of the other, the amplitude of the resultant wave is sum of the amplitudes of two waves.
When crest of one wave falls on trough of the other, the amplitude of resultant wave is difference of the amplitude of the two waves. (more…)
Photon and its properties0
In this article, we will discuss about the photon and its properties:
A photon is basically a basic particle which carries with itself electromagnetic energy. The light coming from sun has different wavelengths or energy and on the basis of it, we have different regions like visible, infrared, ultraviolet and many more. But one thing is common in all these regions is photon but of different frequency so different energy.
Thus photon is basically a quantum of light.
Properties: (more…)
Cathode rays and their 15 properties0
Definition of cathode rays:
Cathode rays are the group of fast moving negatively charged particles. These negatively charged particles are electrons. These rays are shot out at a high speed from the cathode of a discharge tube at a pressure below 0.01 mm of mercury.
15 Properties of Cathode rays:
1. Cathode rays travel in straight lines.
2. These rays are deflected by electric field. This is obvious because these rays are nothing but electrons.
3. These rays travel normally from the surface of cathode. (more…)
Upcoming science fields to do research and make career0
There are many many field in the area of science to do research. One should be completely dedicated towards his or her work for the same, then sky is the limit only.
Let us discuss few of the science fields to do research and make career. The following fields are the broad area, the sub area under each of these fields are so many and will be discussed later on:
1. Environmental Science: We all know that our environment is getting degraded day by day. Thus there are so many research topics and career avenues in this field. The environment science as a subject is taught from schools. (more…)

Just 75 miles from the bustle of Washington, D.C., Shenandoah National Park is your escape to recreation and re-creation. Cascading waterfalls, spectacular vistas, quiet wooded hollows—take a hike, a meander along Skyline Drive, or a picnic with the family. 200,000 acres of protected lands are haven to deer, songbirds, the night sky…and you. Plan a Shenandoah escape today! *Courtesy of NPS.gov
In the early 1930s, the National Park Service began planning the park facilities and envisioned separate provisions for blacks and whites. At that time, in Jim Crow Virginia, racial segregation was the order of the day. In its transfer of the parkland to the federal government, Virginia initially attempted to ban African Americans entirely from the park, but settled for enforcing its segregation laws in the park's facilities.

The loving came early from The CW for their best-performing shows. The network gave renewals for five series for the 2014-2015 television season.
Not surprisingly, Arrow is among the bunch. The superhero series is the most-watched program (3.9 million) on The CW. Despite being in its ninth season, Supernatural posted double-digit increases year-to-year. The Vampire Diaries also was on the receiving end of good news from the network. Find out which freshmen series earned a sophomore season below.
It only took five seasons, but The Vampire Diaries is finally adding a gay character to its cast. A sassy one at that. Meanwhile it's spin-off, The Originals, wasted no time out of the gate by adding a G.B.F. (gay best friend). The scene-stealing Josh is quite hilarious, don't you think? E! Online has all the details on Vampire Diaries' new addition.
"A new hottie is enrolling at Whitmore after winter break! And he'll be spending time with Caroline! Except he's so not into her in that way as Luke, handsome and sarcastic, is gay. And also happens to have a sister on campus, one that he will do [or sacrifice] anything to protect." – E! Online Description
I don't watch the CW supernatural series, but if I did I'm sure I'd be ecstatic about this casting news. Truth be told, I'm surprised it took them this long. Are you a fan of the show? Excited for some sassy sarcastic gay humor to come your way? Weigh in below.
Gladiators came out in full force for the Season 3 premiere of Scandal last Thursday. The ABC political drama roared back with a series best. It was up 71% over its year-ago season premiere and surpassed its previous series highs by 13%. The only show that fared better that night was CBS' The Big Bang Theory. Looks like Olivia Pope isn't just top dog in Washington, D.C. but on the Twitter-verse as well.
Nielsen in conjunction with SocialGuide began a new metric last week, tabulating the number of people tweeting about TV programs and the audience of people who actually view those Tweets. With social media becoming such an integral part of viewing, due to all those hashtags popping up on the bottom corner of the screen, it only makes sense this new chart exists. You can thank Pretty Little Liars for starting this trend.
Topping the first ever Top 10 chart, is none other than Scandal. The show notched almost 713,000 tweets in the seven hours before, during and after its premiere. Those tweets reached an audience of roughly 3.65 million unique Twitter users. Miley Cyrus dominated the next two spots with her MTV documentary and guest host stint on Saturday Night Live. Find out how many tweets she generated and the rest of the Top 10 below.
Next week's episode of The Vampire Diaries serves as a backdoor pilot for a potential spinoff titled The Originals. If it goes well, Klaus (Joseph Morgan) will be fronting his own show for 2013-2014 season. If it doesn't go well, it could end up like that ill-fated backdoor pilot Gossip Girl tried with a young Lily in the 80s.
Originally, a spinoff was planned a couple of years ago with Vampires creator Kevin Williamson but that was put on the back burner so that he could focus on The Secret Circle. Thankfully he rebounded with FOX's The Following. Soooo good. The second spinoff attempt will have no involvement from Williamson, but will be carried out by Julie Plec.
The network just released an extended promo for next week's anticipated episode. Klaus heads to New Orleans- a city that his family helped built but then fled 100 years ago. He sees his former protege Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) ruling the Big Easy. He's envious of his power and wants it for himself. The clip ends with Klaus saying, "I want to be king." Check out the promo below.
Arguably, The CW has some of the hottest guys on network television. Hell, that's why I tune in most of the time ;) Without a doubt, Stephen Amell from Arrow is at the top of that list. With his chiseled body and handsome face, this man just oozes sex appeal. Between you and me, the Oliver McQueen actor is as stunning in person. I often bump into him at the gym. Sufficed to say, I always try to get the treadmill with the best view.
As the old saying goes, it takes one to know one. The 31-year-old was put through a test from the folks over at TV Guide. His task was to identify which ripped set of abs belonged to a CW stud. Not surprisingly, dude earned a perfect score. Someone's apparently been studying his fellow network colleagues' assets. Watch the video below. After that, check out how I ranked the five guys. It's pretty obvious who my No. 1 pick is. Be sure to comment on whether you agree or disagree with my rankings.
If you're an avid Nielsen Ratings follower, The CW's decision to renew these three shows shouldn't be shocking. The only thing remotely surprising is that the network did it this early. The upfronts where networks reveal their 2013-14 schedules are still a few months away. That said, the news is always nice to hear especially to fans and the cast and crew of each show. Another year of regular pay cheques is always a good thing.
There's no denying Arrow is the season's breakout hit on The CW if not on all the broadcast networks. It arrived with a bang with 4.3 million viewers and consistently brings in viewers weekly. It's the network's most-watched show. Meanwhile, The Vampire Diaries is tops when it comes to the target demographic of adults and women between the ages of 18-34. The supernatural series will return for a fifth season.
I originally crushed on Taylor Kinney back in 2010 as he was about to make his debut as Mason Lockwood on The CW's The Vampire Diaries. Since the 31-year-old actor is one of the stars of NBC's upcoming Chicago Fire, I thought it was time to update this post and lust over this stud again. As two years have passed since my initial writeup, I've added many more photos to this post. After you check out my updated collection of Kinney's shirtless pics, I'm sure you'll agree he's worth selecting as a Man Crush once again.
Kinney was raised alongside his three brothers by their single mother. Before developing an interest in acting, he studied business management at West Virginia University. Like all aspiring actors, he practiced his craft in theatre in such plays as Fallout and A Streetcar Named Desire. His feature films credits include Furnace, White Air and Diary of a Champion.
Before appearing on Chicago Fire, this Pennsylvanian native was best known as Luke Gianni on Fashion House (MyNetworkTV) and for his recurring role on NBC's now-canceled Trauma. That all changed when he joined The Vampire Diaries cast on The CW. He became even more well known when he began shacking up with Lady Gaga. Taylor even appeared in one of her music videos. Without further ado, let's check out his chesticles, man nips and washboard abs below.
Many apologies for the delay with this week's Man Crush. Definitely got side-tracked with a few site administrative items I had to take care of yesterday. Hopefully, this week's selection will make up for the fact I left you hanging for a day. Meet Steven R. McQueen. He comes via a suggestion by one of our Homorazzi.com readers. McQueen is best known for "The Vampire Diaries" which I don't watch, so I'm extremely thankful that he was pointed out to me.
The 23-year-old actor is the grandson of iconic film actor Steve McQueen. Only time will tell if he'll be able to match his family's legacy. He's off to a solid start already. In his relatively short career, he's racked up some notable credits. Along with the aforementioned Diaries, he had a recurring role on "Everwood" and guest spots on "Number3rs", "Without A Trace" and "CSI: Miami". His film credits include "Piranha 3D" and Disney's "Minutemen".
Just in case you were wonder what the "R" in his name stands for, it's a shout-out to his stepfather, Canadian NHL hall of famer Luc Robitaille. When I first saw Steven, I could tell there was a bit of something/something in his lineage. Upon further research, I learned his grandmother Neile Adams (wife of Steven McQueen) was born in the Philippines and of Spanish, German, Filipino, Chinese and English descent. That mixed heritage definitely worked out in the genetics department for Steven R. McQueen. See if you agree after perusing through the selection of pictures I've picked out below.

Mittal wrapping up Africa? As the pace of Asian investment in African raw materials begins to pick up, India's Arcelor Mittal, the world's largest steel producer, has announced new investment in West African iron ore mining. What are the implications for Africa? Report by Neil Ford.
Investment in Liberia was already expected but has now been increased and the mining conglomerate has signed a deal to develop the El Agareb iron ore deposit in Mauritania.
In February 2007, Arcelor Mittal announced a $2.2bn investment in Senegalese iron ore and company representatives indicated that they hoped to develop a mining hub in West Africa.
International steel prices are high and show no signs of declining, while mining companies seem confident that demand for iron ore will remain strong in the long term.
Consumption in emerging Asian economies, such as India and China, has partly driven the boom but other developing and industrialised regions are also boosting demand.
The Indian company hopes to source a greater proportion of its global iron ore supplies from its own mines. At present, it is forced to rely on mining giants BHP Billiton, Rio Tin to and Vale to supply much of the iron ore that it uses in steel production.
However, it hopes to control about two-thirds of the ore it requires by 2010 as the result of investment in Africa, Latin America, Russia and elsewhere.
In January, Arcelor Mittal, which is now the world's biggest steel producer, revealed that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Mauritania's Societe Nationale Industrielle et Miniere (SNIM) to jointly develop El Agareb.
Arcelor Mittal's chief financial officer, Aditya Mittal, commented: "Mauritania's strategic location in West Africa makes it an ideal choice for iron ore supplies to Arcelor Mittal's European steel mills. This large iron ore project would further strengthen our existing presence in the region and will create substantial employment opportunities for the people of Mauritania while accelerating growth in the Mauritanian economy." The company did not reveal the financial terms of the deal but indicated that a feasibility study will be required before the final investment decision can be taken. It also revealed that it would take an initial stake of 30% in the venture, with the option to increase this to 70% at a later stage.
Production at El Agareb is expected to reach 25m tons a year, which would effectively double SNIM's total production and provide a real boost to the Mauritanian economy.
The deposit, which is believed to contain in excess of 1bn tons of magnetite, has long been used by SNIM to supply Mittal, so the new investment is based on an established relationship. Perhaps Arcelor Mittal's best known area of interest in Africa is Liberia. The deal, which gave the company a virtual monopoly over Liberian iron ore, attracted widespread criticism from non-governmental organisations, such as Global Witness.
They claim Mittal will gain unacceptable freedom over working practices, be in a position to influence the Liberian government and provide the company with an ability to opt out of key environmental legislation.
However, the new Liberian government welcomes the firm's involvement and believes that the jobs created and infrastructure developed will form a major part of national economic reconstruction.
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and Lakshmi Mittal held a joint press conference to announce that the company had decided to increase its investment from $lbn to $1.5bn.
Mittal commented: "There is a positive feeling about Liberia out there. We have to ensure that this project is successful because it will be a model for the future."
The government hopes that 20,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created by the venture. While on a tour of Arcelor Mittal's operations in Grand Bassa County at the end of January, Johnson-Sirleaf was informed that the company expects to ship its first iron ore as soon as April 2009.
Rail and port upgrades
A $21m contract for engineering and project management on the project has already been awarded to Brazilian firm Odebrecht, while exports are expected to reach 15m tons a year by 2011.
Apart from developing the Yekepa mines, the scheme requires the redevelopment of the port of Buchanan and also the 270km railway that runs from Yekepa to Buchanan; while providing additional power generating capacity and road rehabilitation.
The railway upgrade alone will cost $300m, but it remains to be seen whether the government or donors will provide some of the funding. As with the port of Monrovia, Buchanan requires rehabilitation after the country's long civil war. Some harbour basin redevelopment is expected, while new cargo handling equipment will also be required.
Exporting unprocessed mineral resources will not produce a healthy, balanced Liberian economy. Indeed, many could argue that the Mittal deal merely places the Mano River state in the same position as most other African countries in relying heavily on the sale of a handful of raw commodities.
Yet this is at least a better position than the one Liberia, with its economy in tatters, found itself in a few years ago. The iron ore deal is also helping to fund vital infrastructural rehabilitation work and will provide the government with much needed financial resources to fund other parts of its budget. In addition, as long as other elements of the economy emerge over the next few years, iron ore exports can certainly form part of a more balanced economy.
The IMF has announced that it has agreed a three-year $920m loan programme with Monrovia. The IMF mission chief to Liberia, Robert Powell, commented: "This in principle agreement, which is subject to the approval of IMF management and executive board, is a key step towards clearing Liberia's arrears to the IMF and the commencement of debt relief. Effective implementation of this programme will be critical to achieving the government's economic goals, including continued strong and sustained growth and obtaining comprehensive debt relief on the full stock of outstanding debt."
Most of the IMF money will be used to fund the standard economic reform package of poverty reduction, job creation and economic reconstruction.
The national debt currently stands at $4.5bn but Johnson-Sirleaf's experience of working in senior positions within multilaterals should ensure that the country moves through the heavily indebted poor countries (HIPC) process as quickly as possible.
Economic growth is expected to reach 9.6% this year, while inflation should decline, so real headway is already being made, but it is vital that further foreign investment is secured if the high level of growth is to be sustained.

Insecurity threatens Tiomin investment
Plans by Canadian company Tiomin to invest in the Kenyan titanium sector could be at risk because of the serious political and security instability in the East African country. Following Jinchuan Group of China's decision to buy a 20% stake in Tiomin, the company has pressed ahead with its Kenyan ambitions. It hopes to produce 330,000 tons of ilmenite, 75,000 tons of rutile and 40,000 tons of zircon a year from the Kwale reserves in Coast Province for at least the first six years of the mine's 11-year estimated life.
Jinchuan's investment has been welcomed by Tiomin. Chief executive Jean-Charles Potvin commented: "This financing begins what we hope is an accelerated development programme with potential cost savings by maximising Chinese content. Jinchuan is a world class mining company with extensive project development experience and it is an ideal partner for Tiomin and Kenya."
However, Tiomin project coordinator, Joyce Misoi, says that the company is concerned about both financing and the uncertain state of the Kenyan government She commented: "We want to resolve the issues in Kenya permanently, which may include developing the Kwale project ourselves."
Misoi highlighted the extent of Tiomin's fears over the violence in Kenya by comparing it with the firm's other main interest, Peru, which itself has suffered from violent conflict in the past. She said: "Peru is a mining friendly country and the challenges there are of a more normal technical nature."
Even in December, during a visit to Mombasa and before violence erupted in Kenya, Tiomin's titanium project manager Nic Lionnet appeared to have concerns about cooperation from the Kenyan government.
He said: "Kwale remains an interesting project but we are waiting for the government of Kenya to complete the tasks required by international lenders so that we can reorganise a new project financing syndicate. Tiomin will not lift the state of force majeure at Kwale until this occurs."
Tiomin has already reduced its budget for Kenyan operations and may do so again, so there appears to be a real risk that Kwale may not be developed. This could also hit the port of Mombasa, which had expected to handle all mineral exports. The port has already secured massive Japanese funding to develop a second container terminal and had hoped to invest in new bulk handling capacity in order to serve Tiomin.

Stolen from Cassioepia who stole this blog from her spark friend Bobby (BOBBYD31), who stole it from debbie (BE-THE-CHANGE). thank you !! (it's definitely worthy of passing on as many times as we can)
I really feel that SP saved my life. I have struggled with my weight since finding this site over 4 years ago, but I know I would be much worse off if I had not found it. I may not be where I need to be, but it is certainly not for a lack of resources here!
Right now Intuit is running a contest for small businesses. The prize is a commercial during the Super Bowl. I don't know about you, but every time I see a commercial for Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig I wish that SP had the resources to do the same. This is their chance to get the word out on a huge scale. All they need is the support of people like us.
Go to this website and vote for SparkPeople:
It just takes one click (no registration required), and you can vote once a day on your computer and your phone.
As some of you know, I spent a lot of time in hospital last year, leaving my house empty. As I live in the country, this meant that rodents got in, and caused all sorts of electrical damage.
On top of this I had a problem with my heat pump. The mother card had to be replaced, possibly due to being hit by lightening they thought.
It took a long time to get a replacment, and then there were problems with the electricity and a leak from the heating system, which meant the antifreeze was diluted.......... In brief, there was a perfect storm of circumstances which led to the heat pump and the boiler breaking down.
I actually involved the legal assistance from my insurance, but at the end of the day, I couldn't get any help from them, they felt that the heat pump people had acted properly without undue delay, and the offer they made to me to replace the pump and boiler was a good one. Which it is, and at the end of the day, I'll have a system that works and that the heat pump people will be servicing etc......soon, I hope!
The guys have been working and found all sorts of problems with my previous system, including a water softener that hadn't been properly installed, amongst other things, and hopefully have sorted out some other preexisting things that didn't work properly. They also found rather a lot of dead rodents in the machines!
And then yesterday, just as all seemed to be reaching the end, the head technician felt that the new heat pump was making a funny noise, so checked out my electricity supply, and it is faulty! I have triple phase, and two are fine, but the third is not working properly.
And that was it, I finally cried. It may even be that this was the original problem, but we have no way of knowing!
OK, it's not life threatening, but it is rather expensive, and has been a major source of stress for me........especially as I don't have a proper job at the moment (more of that elsewhere) although luckily I have an insurance policy that has matured, and so can afford the work, but once the money is spent, it is spent!
Meanwhile, the whole house needs rewired......and that aint's cheap either!
Where I am really lucky is that my wonderful partner Jacques is doing much of the rebuilding work upstairs, helped by my children......basically the whole of the upstairs has been reconfigerated and my plan is that once all the work is finished, to let the house as a holiday home. That way I can still have all my children home from time to time, even if I am living mostly with Jacques.
I am trying hard to look at the blessing in disguise,
a new system that is more efficient, easier to run, and much easier if I am letting the house, a lot of other preexisting problems solved, and others on their way to being, all's well.
The old lemons and lemonade thingy......
But the stress is not helping my health, nor my weight!
Rant over for now!
Warning, some pretty horrid mental images to follow, not for the faint hearted.
As some of you may know, I had a carcinoma removed from not quite the end of my nose just before christmas. I was not a pretty sight, I can tell you! Then on the scar tissue, I got a spot, that I thought I had dealt with. I had of course to be very gentle, as the tissue was very new.
However, the scar still bothered me, it hurt, and even though I had been back to the surgeon, who was quite happy with my progress, something was a tad uncomfortable. I was supposed to massage the scaar tissue regularly but it was uncomfortable. I hung on and hung on blaming the scar, the healing etc. After a certain time, I realised that the black mark on my scar wasn't part of the scaring, but was just possibly a blackhead. I asked Jacques to have a look, he gently touched it and the whole thing sort of exploded (I did warm you that the imagery wasn't pretty) Once I had got it cleaned out, then of course, my nose wasn't hurting any more, I was able to massage it with impunity.
OK, so what has this got to do with anything?
Another much less pleasant allagory!
How often is something so evident in our lives, but we get sidetracked into thinking that it is something else, for whatever reason. Or, in my case, we stick with the first answer, and do not look any further......and what do these contradictory sayings have in common? (Hint, it isn't Calvin Klein)
Well, they both show a certain amount of lack of questioning, of being unwilling or unable or whatever to literally look past the end of our noses!
Or simply being stuck......
So, a question to possibly ask ourselves......
What is causing my discomfort? Could there possibly be a spot on the end of my nose? If so, what can I do about it? Mind you, you might want to change the question
Me, I'm still stuck at the moment, but at least I'm aware of it, and the thingy with the nose helped me to see past the end of mine....
And as for the direction I intend to take, well, in this instance, straight ahead even if I am not yet at full steam!
It is mother's day in the US, but not in all the rest of the world. Jacques' mother fell the day after mother's day in France last year. She died of he injuries, some 20 or so days later, and this is a translation of what I wrote and said at her funeral.
"Louise Morel, M�m�, loved her garden very much, and she also loved flowers. That is one of the reasons that I ask you to imagine a rose bush, she had several in her own garden.
To propagate roses you can take a cutting and that makes a new plant, not too different from the original. You can also graft a cutting onto another rose, and that makes a different rose bush. Or you can keep the roots, and graft a cutting from another rose. However, each of these new plants keeps something of the original.
And that gives a wonderful garden, full of different colours, perfumes and varieties. Certain of the roses can be transplanted into other gardens, or other plants welcomed into the original garden.
I invite you to see Louise, M�m�, as the original rose bush, a rose with all its qualities, but also with thorns; and the Morel family as the gardens. And even if this first rose bush is no longer at the centre of the garden, part of it is always with us, not only in the descendants, but also in the memories of all those who saw and appreciated not only the first garden, but also all those other gardens inspired by that first one
I invite you, the next time that you see a rose, or another flower, or any object from nature, to think of someone you love, present or absent, and to smile. Like that you can express and share love, present in us all, and which never dies.
In that way you can follow the advice of Pierre de Ronsard: �Live now, believe me, wait not till tomorrow, Gather the roses of life today�."
So go out there and smile!
I have decided to give this a try. You can find out what it is here........ www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19112549 and here thefastdiet.co.uk/
While the jury is definitely still out on this one, there is quite a lot of disagreement too, www.nhs.uk/news/2013/01January/Pages/Does-the-5-2-intermittent-fasting-diet-work.aspx , I am willing to give it a try, and see how it goes.
I have done fruit fasts in the past, and quite enjoyed them, so the idea of fasting isn't unknown to me, and well, this is relatively easy form of reduced calorie intake for a short time.
Having read as much as I can, including the book, I have decided to give it a go. I shall have my fast days on a Monday and Thursday, whenever possible, as these are, paradoxically, my busiest days, and so from what I have read, it should be easier.
Unlike most people I didn't start on a Monday, but did today, Thursday. Well, I read the book on Tuesday, so that's why.
How did today go?
I left for Lyon at 5:45, after some water and some decaf, and had a mug of decaf in the car with me. My tummy was rumbling en route, so I did wonder how I would manage to get through the day! In fact, once I got to Lyon for my class at 8 I had no problems. I even sat in the cafeteria to work at midday, smelling the cooling paninis etc, and had no problems. I drank water all day, as I always do.
To keep busy before my PT, I did some window, and then other shopping. I bought a really cute little notebook with leather binding, to note all my food intake in, not just on fast days.Whilst I think that SP will be a great help here, noting wherever and whenever will help. It will also keep me more accountable, especially at parties etc, putting each and every glass of wine in. I am sort of going to study myself as it were.
Every mouthfull counts!
I had thought that Jacques would be at paret this evening, so that I wold be fending for myself, but it was cancelled, so he had prepared dinner. I hadn't really told him, as I thought he would be sceptical (as he was) however, he is willing to indulge me. For dinner I had fish soup, ratatouille, smoked mackarel, and fruit. Which came up to 500 calories, more or less.
I didn't have a problem not eating during the day; I had some tummy rumbles, but nothing major. I'm pleased cos I managed a 24 hour fast, more or less, and it seems to be the fasting that has the health benefits, compared to the calorie defecit for the weight loss.
Next fast day is Monday, so I'll blog then at the latest.
I'm tired now, but it was a long day, and it is bedtime. And it's a healthy tired.
Oh, one last thing, I will be doing my best to record mood etc aswell, that being another SP tool which I think might come in handy.
Off to do it now.
Night night all!
Whoops, nearly forgot, my weigh in this morning was 68.5 (up .5 on yesterday) and I can't remember my waist measurement, I'll take it again tomorrow!
