If you're looking for Microsoft to make a high-end Lumia splash, the 532 is nothing special. However, it does stay the course on Nokia's strategy before Microsoft stepped in.

This model is almost like the entry-level Lumia 532, with just a few slight variations.

Microsoft Band is an ambitious first crack at a smart health wearable that throws in a ton of features and cross-platform support, but it's just not as easy to use or as functional as it should be.
The Lumia 535's cheap price, big screen and colourful body earn it plenty of points, but its lack of 4G LTE, unimpressive display and sometimes sluggish interface mean this phone isn't suitable for anything more than the basics.
While the PS4 remains our overall preferred choice in the next-gen console race, the Xbox One's significant first-year course corrections -- including a welcome holiday price drop -- make it a better deal than ever, and a much better bargain than when it first debuted.
Has Microsoft suddenly pushed us into the age of "Star Trek" and "Minority Report"? For those confused about what's actually going on with the company's new head-mounted gadget, here's the rundown.

Why a Children's Hospital?
Children aren't just little adults - so healthcare for children needs to be customized and provided by people specially trained to care for kids. National studies (Children's Hospital Association, September, 2012) illustrate that there are better outcomes with pediatric-specific care.
Here are a few examples of how a Children's Hospital does things differently:
- Because some children may be frightened by having an MRI or other form of radiology screening, we have the special equipment, training and skills to help children feel at ease-or even take a nap-during a procedure, reducing the need for another screening. Throughout our hospital, we use equipment specially designed for the smallest patients, combined with the compassion and skill that comes from our sole focus on pediatrics.
- Our neonatal intensive care unit is one of the largest in the southeastern United States - and other Level III NICUs often send newborns with complex medical problems to All Children's. With close to 100 of the highest level care beds, our NICU staff members average 25 years of expertise and care for babies weighing as little as a pound.
- At All Children's Hospital, specially trained Child Life Specialists make up part of the multidisciplinary team that makes a children's hospital unique. We currently have 13 Child Life Specialists, a Music Therapist, and an Academic Coordinator. These specialists add value by maintaining play as an essential, natural part of childhood - important in its own right.
- Play facilitates healing, coping, mastery, self-expression, creativity, achievement and learning, and is vital to a child's optimal growth and development.
- While adult cardiac surgeons operate on an adult's fist-sized heart, our pediatric heart surgeons use special instruments to perform surgery on hearts the size of a walnut. The depth and breadth of their lifesaving skills fit perfectly in an exclusively pediatric environment. Our heart surgeons and pediatric cardiologists treat newborns through young adults who have a wide range of congenital heart defects - conditions adult specialists rarely encounter.
Why We Need You
There are a number of reasons why your help is needed to support All Children's Hospital:
- As a stand-alone children's hospital, All Children's relies heavily on Medicaid, which reimburses at rates less than costs and less than Medicare. Changes to Medicaid at the state level can disproportionately impact our ability to provide care to children with chromic, complex conditions - nationally, children with complex chronic conditions account for 6% of the Medicaid population and 40% of the expenses. Almost 70% of the patients at All Children's Hospital have Medicaid as their primary insurance.
- As an academic institution, All Children's membership in Johns Hopkins Medicine brings nationally recognized expertise and experience to training tomorrow's pediatricians. Studies show that having a residency program in a hospital improves the quality of outcomes -- and residents often stay in the area where they receive their training. Currently there is a national shortage of physicians trained in pediatrics - the Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education program (CHGME) is a Federal program that helps to support our efforts to train more physicians in pediatrics. Any cuts to this program limit our ability to train, retain, and recruit physicians to care for our patients.
- From time to time, issues will arise in the legislature that have an impact on children's health. Voice4allkids may provide talking points or ask that you contact your legislators about these issues.

The restaurant has a great happy hour called the "Funk and Roll" happy hour from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays that features cheap drinks, rolls, appetizers, steamed buns and desserts.

Comments about Mercer Bears NCAA PC Cap:
I would've rated this transaction higher had I received the correct item. I ordered two of these hats and one of them was a completely different style. When I called to complain I was told I'd have to wait for them to send me a return label so I could return the wrong hat and only after they received it would they send me the right one! What? You send me the wrong item and I have to wait even longer to get the hat I already paid for? I emailed them and told them I'd just keep this hat and give it to a different person who I thought might like it. I still thought they could've been a bit more apologetic and just sent me the correct hat along with the return label :( It was their mistake, after all!

Thu 23 Apr 2009
Finally got the AOD into the car after the engine swap…which I still haven't posted the pics of getting the new/old motor back in…but they're at myspace, so find 'em there in the meantime, I suppose. But the car had started running rough for seemingly no reason.
We adjusted the carb, the timing, retorqued the intake. Nothing looked out of place…until we connected the battery that kept dying not to the fact that I hadn't driven the car much, but to the fact that the alternator wasn't charging. We replaced the alternator because the wires on the back looked a little fried, but still, there was a no-charge situation again.
What about the voltage regulator? That unassuming little box next to the radiator, inside the left fender… what about that thing? As we worked to get it out of the car, it made sense… the dim headlights, the flickering interior lights. Everything finally came together. That thing had been giving us symptoms for at least a year and we had been ignoring them the whole time, thinking something else was the culprit.
Once it was out of the car, it was obvious something was wrong. The prongs on the bottom were kinda fried.
So, of course we popped it open to see the real carnage. Yeah. Fried connection = no charging.
With a new regulator installed, the car runs awesomely.

From Good Friday's gruesome darkness
To the rise of Easter Morn
Lies a path beyond our coyness,
Path that holds the newly born.
For deeper love we spread the bread
I won't be full till all are fed
Till every soul has home and bed
The rest of us can't move ahead
The image of a scapegoat recalls a ritual performed by ancient Israel on their holiest day of the year—Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement. A goat was chosen by means of casting lots. Actually there were two goats chosen, one was killed as a sin offering to make atonement for the holy place, the other was allowed to live to make atonement for the sins of the people.
read moreBeing a child of God – for Jesus and for the rest of us – is a poetic way of describing our direct, personal engagement with Ultimate Reality. It is an artful expression of ourselves as physically integrated with the divine essence of the cosmos. Being the son or daughter of God does not mean that any of us can leap off the cross in a single bound.
read more"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" The quintessential cry of despair, when all hope is lost.
read moreThat Friday, oh so long ago,
Why do we call it 'Good'?
It tells a wretched tale of woe,
Of thorns and cross of wood.
"Weep not for Me, Mother,
in the grave I have life."
The shocking thing about the story of Jesus is that it turns common wisdom on its head.
read moreThe dry bones raised by Ezekiel are a metaphor for those who died in the service of God's justice: those who died working to restore God's distributive justice-compassion to God's Earth, and who themselves never saw the transformation. The army of dry bones is an army exiled from justice. Fairness demands that if Jesus was resurrected into an Earth transformed into God's realm of justice-compassion, then all the other martyrs who died too soon should also be raised with him. "But in fact," Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:20, "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died." It is the Christ – the transformed and transfigured post-Easter Jesus – who has started that general resurrection, which restores justice-compassion to a transformed Earth. The transformation has begun with Jesus, and continues with you and me – IF we sign on to the program.
read moreWe need to acknowledge that the final week in Jesus' life is a blending of separate biblical accounts. In other words, the story grows and develops as each successive gospel writer imaginatively retold the story. There may be some historical memory in their stories, but the details are not historical.
read moreIf Jesus died for anything, he laid down his life like most social prophets and martyrs as a complete and utter refutation and relinquishment of any vestiges of earthly kingdoms. Whatever the subsequent followers of the donkey king would retrospectively make of him, he was regarded by the powers that be as nothing more than a nuisance. As more than one biblical scholar has pointed out, the real significance of Jesus' crucifixion lay in the fact that anyone subsequently noticed and cared about the execution of a nobody. Yet it is the way of a nobody — not a somebody — that has so often altered the way of an otherwise weary world.

Midi Stripe Knit Tank Dress
Super Flattering
This dress made me look 10 lbs thinner. I wore it to a girls night out and got so many compliments from strangers!!! I'm 5'6 and weigh 140lbs. It's not see through, great lining, and has a thick texture to it.
April 2, 2013
Sassy & Sexy
Had to go try this dress on! Sooooo glad I did it is very figure flattering,sexy and looks exactly as pictured! Gonna take this on my trip to Miami!!! Way to go BEBE....
April 1, 2013
Amazing fit/unique cut!
I love this dress!! It's super flattering on and comfy too!
March 28, 2013
more, more, more!!
When I saw this dress on-line, I wasn't sure if I would like it because of the positioning of the yellow stripes. I would have preferred that they were positioned a bit higher at the waist. I went to the store and tried it and fell in love. It fits great, good quality fabric and lined, absolutely love the length (it goes past my knees but that makes me look taller), and the ruffle hem makes this dress unique ! It came home with me. I can't wait to show it off this Spring/Summer! My only complaint: the shoulder straps came down too low (showing my bra) with the xs so I bought the xxs and that improved the fit. I wish bebe made more in other colors (either solid or mix of vibrant colors like green and yellow or purple and pink...)
March 28, 2013
I purchased this dress in the store, and I love it. I am 5'4" and the length hits me about mid-shin. I love the longer dresses, thank you Bebe! I was tired of the really short dresses, these longer ones are so classy. The material is a good quality, thicker material, not thin or cheap at all. It is soft and comfortable to wear, and hugs all your curves. I am so happy with this dress! Good job Bebe!

Nissan Altima Lease Questions
gator2323 Posts: 3I just got a 2013 2.5 SL WITHOUT the tech package.
I paid $400 upfront and got $315 for remaining 35 months of lease with 15K miles. Plus they cut me a check for $325 for my last lease payment on my prior car.
The finance guy told me they used a MF of .00072 on my deal. Not sure why there would be a difference or how they swung the deal (the closest another dealer in town was going to get was $330/mo with $700 down. -
mdspinner Posts: 14Wow, 63% residual, did mrsp you quoted include 790$ destination? In my dealings, dealer always maintained the MF and residual were fixed by Nissan, 58% for 36 mo./15k up in NY, maybe higher residual if you are in FL.
Good deal regardless. I'm still working on mine.
Carman, any thoughts on whether Nissan allows any negotiation on MF rate and/or residual? -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Certainly mdspinner. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.'s February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Altima 2.5 SL with 12,000 miles per year are .00072 and 61% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2013 Altima 3.5 SL are .00072 and 62%.
I don't think that Nissan is providing support on 39-month leases of these cars right now.
In the Northeast, Nissan is providing a $375 cash incentive on leases of the '13 Altima Sedan.
It's difficult to say what Nissan's March programs on the Altima will be like. I can tell you that there was no improvement in the Altima's programs from February to March last year, but...this is a different situation because the car was redesigned. Manufacturers usually try to cut way back on support on recently redesigned models when they are first introduced. The eventually have to ease back into it as the months progress. That's what seems to be happening with the '13 Altima. So it probably wouldn't hurt to wait if you're not in a hurry.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey mdspinner. Banks' residual values are usually essentially set in stone and cannot be negotiated. Vehicles' base money factors are set by banks, but dealers are allowed to mark them up from time to time. That's why it is important to find out what the buy rates are for the model that you are interested in prior to entering into negotiations.

chasfm Posts: 4I have a deal offered:
.60 residual
However, the dealer says he will use 2 vouchers to get the cap cost down enough to hit that monthly payment. But he wont tell me the final cap cost and I have no info on the vouchers. I may not qualify for those vouchers. Any advice on how to proceed? -
oliver75 Posts: 22013 Altima 3.5SL w/technology 36mo 12,000 miles per yr. for $397.00, I pay $706.00 which includes 1st mo lease pmt. The $397.00 seems high since Acura quoted $400.00 on a new lease on a TL front wheel drive and their sticker price is higher. I have 1 mo left on my Acura TL with only 27,000 miles versus the 36,000 allocated on the lease (not sure that matters). Altima will pay last lease pmt on the TL. Can I do better on the Altima I live in Illinois.....thank you!
pegasus17 Posts: 536REF: 1815
1. Have you considered trading the TL in if it has positive equity (value > payoff)?
2. For that money, you can get the new Accord and still get a real tranny (not a CVT)

UPDATE: Used the above data (no incentive, invoice sell price, pre-tax) i get 339/month for the std 36 month, 12k mile lease. Tax on leases varies by state so you have to add that in appropriately... -
chasfm Posts: 4this same dealer sent me an offer that didnt include the T/T/L. when i asked about it he said
Correct. Right now Nissan has Tax Credits so you will not be paying Taxes on this car.
i asked for more details and if he had alink explaining this program. his reply
It is no a published program for the general public. It is an internal program for Nissan dealers, meaning we do not have to tell you about it. It is usually used from profit, but I am giving it to you upfront in order to be aggressive and earn your business.
is there such a thing? i am not the most experienced car buyer but i have never heard of a dealer essentially eating the tax. any guidance would be appreciated. thanks. -
tedmon23 Posts: 3I am a car dealers dream. I am a payment shopper, fits in my budget I am good to go. Here is the lease that I got for a 2013 altima sv 36 month 15,000 mile.
I went with first months payment at signing.
Gross gap cost--22843.45
Residual value--14873.90
Monthly payment-255
I turned in a 2010 Altima that they supposedly forgave the last two payments for me to get into this vehicle. I am happy with it. -
the4aces Posts: 1I am trying to buyout of my lease of a 2010 Nissan Altima.
The residual value is $14800. I only put 32,000 miles on it when I could have put 48,000 miles on the car.
The Nissan dealer is saying they need me to pay for another inspection ($300) and buy a new tire before they can sell me the car... Is this true? Also they say I need to pay a restocking fee of $300 before they can sell me the car.
Does this sound right? -

Thank you! -
mdspinner Posts: 14
mdspinner Posts: 14Couple things. First, Fees and insurance. Where do they get this #? Acquisition fee is usually in the MSRP--make sure its not in there twice.
Second, navigation usually knocks down the residual at least a point or two.
Third, what is the sales price of the car, MSRP minus rebates/loyalty cash? I would negotiate the sales price of the car before taking account of the rebates. Go on here, figure out the TMV and try and get that. -
nsolis Posts: 9In the middle of a negotiation for a 2013 Altima 3.5 SL without the Tech Package. Anyone have any Cap Cost comparisons for that car? Think list is roughly $31,500 to $31, 900. Just curious what prices people have negotiated down to.
Car Man, do you have the money factor and residual value figures for the 3.5 SL for the month of March?
Thanks for your time in advance.

I do a lot of backpacking and have found my iPhone 4 is great as a multi-purpose device: GPS maps, video camera, music player, entertainment. The only problem is that the battery tends to die after a day out. I'm looking for the best solar charger device out there: something lightweight, simple, durable, that will charge an internal battery or the iPhone as quickly as possible and store as much extra juice as possible. Ideally, the device I'm looking for will not weight more than 12 oz. and will be able to fully charge the iPhone on 4-6 hours of sunlight (an average day). asked May 25 '11 at 09:12 |
I'm a big fan of the Joos Pack http://www.solarjoos.com/products/ It's a battery that charges by solar so no matter what, if it's charged, it'll charge up your..whatever. if it doesn't have a stored up charge, it automatically starts charging from the cells.

Partnership with SAGE
After a lengthy process involving research, discussion, and the consideration of competing proposals, the CCL Board voted earlier this year to enter into a partnership with SAGE Publications for the production, distribution, and electronic archiving of our flagship journal, Christianity and Literature. Under this agreement, editorial control of the journal will remain entirely with the editors and the board of CCL.
By teaming up with SAGE, we seek to bring the journal into the global arena of scholarly research and exchange. In addition, for the first time, a CCL membership will provide not only a print subscription to Christianity and Literature but also electronic access to more than six decades of journal issues dating back to 1950.
The official announcement of the new partnership came in a press release from SAGE on September 18, 2014:
SAGE and The Conference on Christianity and Literature today announced a new agreement to publish Christianity and Literature from December 2014.
Christianity and Literature, edited by Paul Contino and Maire Mullins, is an award winning peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the academic exploration of how literature engages Christian thought, experience and practice. The journal presupposes no particular theological orientation but respects an orthodox understanding of Christianity as a historically defined faith. The journal accepts submissions taking a critical approach in addressing significant issues of literary history, interpretation, and theory.
Speaking of the new partnership, Karen Phillips, Editorial Director at SAGE commented: "We are growing a strong portfolio in Theology and Biblical studies, and to have been selected by The Conference on Christianity and Literature to publish their prestigious journal is a credit to the strengths SAGE has developed working closely with academics within this field. Christianity and Literature publishes authoritative, high quality material to guide, support and inform the academic community. In an increasingly competitive journals environment, we will ensure the Journal continues to build its readership, exposure and impact."
President of the Conference on Christianity and Literature, Roger Lundin further commented: "The Conference on Christianity and Literature and the editors of Christianity and Literature are pleased to join in a partnership with SAGE to expand the breadth and extend the reach of the journal. The team at SAGE has a well-deserved reputation for promoting scholarship of the highest order. In our work with them, we will build on Christianity and Literature's established strengths even as we seek to secure an international audience for the journal."
The first SAGE issue will publish in December 2014. The new website will be http://cal.sagepub.com

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Teacher suggested giving boy more food, not taking it away
Thursday, February 14, 2013
DOVER — New Durham School staff members testified Wednesday that despite Christina Thomas being charged with starving a young boy under her care, she seemed to show concern for the well-being of the alleged victim.
In October 2009, Wood said she received a report from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital, stating the rumination was not caused by an illness, and that "he should be fed whenever he is hungry," because "he still has growing to do." Wood said that the boy's Individualized Education Program (IEP), in which Thomas told staff to take away some of his carrot sticks as a form of punishment, was contrary to the note from the hospital. Nancy Haseltine, kindergarten teacher at New Durham School, said she saw the boy eating cereal, carrot sticks, and peanut butter sandwiches at school, but she felt uncomfortable with the notion of taking the boy's food away, especially with the boy's small size. "We've never done that in the past," said Haseltine about the tactic requested by Thomas. "There was talk going on throughout the school about (the boy) and how small he was."
At times, the young boy came to school with no lunch in hand, and Haseltine said she was told he ate his lunch on the bus on his way to school. Haseltine said she tried to address the issue with Thomas and her mother Peggy Starr, who has also been charged in the case. Haseltine suggested giving the boy additional food during lunchtime so he wouldn't go hungry. She said Thomas and Starr told her not to feed the boy — that way he would learn not to eat his lunch on the way to school. Thomas and Starr also reported to Haseltine that the boy ate breakfast each morning, as well as dinner, but Haseltine had told them that with no lunch, the child had very low energy levels in the afternoon. In the fall of 2009, despite the objections by Thomas and Starr, the young boy was fed by school officials during lunch, even if he reportedly ate his own lunch on the bus.
Shortly after, Haseltine was informed by the family the boy was being taken out of school, and would be home-schooled.
Wood said because of the boy's small stature, she monitored the boy's weight about once a week, since he began attending preschool at New Durham School. In September 2008, he weighed 23 pounds, and his weight was fluctuating throughout the school year. By the time he left the school in December 2009, he weighed 26 pounds.
The boy's mother, whose identity is not being revealed by Foster's, has a developmental disability. She and her son had been living at Thomas' home for several years. Last week the boy's mother testified that she was also abused by Thomas, and that she participated in abusing the young boy under the direction of Thomas and Starr. She also testified that her son was at times put in a dog kennel or tied to his bunk bed by a dog leash, as punishment for getting too emotional or crying about being hungry.
He said he also concluded the boy's biological mother has "fundamentally failed this child over and over ... and over again." |

MANCHESTER – The DNR has several recommendations for livestock producers who have not been able to land apply manure because of wet conditions this spring.
Some storage systems are in danger of overflowing, threatening the safety of the structure and potential water quality problems or fish kills downstream. State regulations for confinements require producers to keep manure levels two feet below the top of an earthen basin and one foot below the top of a concrete or steel storage structure.
The DNR has the following tips for producers who have overfull storage systems:
• First, contact the regional DNR field office and talk to a field specialist who can help find alternatives to field application or the best possible location for field application.
• If the facility is required to have a manure management plan, manure can only be applied to fields listed in the plan. For other options such as transferring manure or applying to a field not in the MMP, consult with the DNR field office.
• If considering application in a field, look for a flat field, far from a stream.
• Scout potential fields for tile inlets, which provide a direct underground route for manure to travel from the field to a stream. Cover any tile inlets.
• Look for overland routes that would channel liquid manure to a stream, such as a rill or grassed waterway.
• Once manure application has started, walk through the field, checking the perimeter for any signs that manure is leaving the field. Check in the field for areas where manure has ponded or flow has concentrated.
• If manure is ponding in or leaving the field, shut down land application.
DNR field specialists have worked with many producers to find solutions that work. Again, checking with a DNR specialist before applying to a field can help prevent manure runoff, water quality problems, fish kills and resultant penalties. Most important, finding the right solution can prevent degrading water quality and damage to the manure storage structure.

Good morning...
Lazy me...it is almost 9 and I am still on this machine. Nothing planned for the day altho it looks so nice outside. Should go for a walk. I am going to have Andy get my bike out of hostage mode on Monday. It has been parked at the "other" house. Since tourists have mostly left town I should be safe on the roads. Andy has another tooth ache. Appointment on Monday.
So Carol, Dee and Joanie are on the road to visit family. Have fun fun and fun.
More luncheon info....what did you eat??
Laureen Andy likes me playing word games as he can watch what he wants on television.
PS..Karen our doors are right on the street so we get dust.
Good morning -
Sharon, I had a fajita salad and Karen had a chimichanga (sp.) It was good but the conversation was even better.
Good luck with the bike riding. It will feel great! Do many women ride bikes there? Not that it makes any difference - just curious.
It's cold here this morning. What a change in the weather. We still need rain tho. Guess there will be no swimming today, Karen.
oh pleaaase, they have to approve the pictures.... what other story are you going to come up with????? and if they "approve" the picture, it will probably be the one from last year..... shesshh... now remember, Jesus does not like lying...
They brought the granite late yesterday evening...the guy just came to fit it in, looks beautiful... am not sure about the backsplash, there are two plans for the backsplash, one the tile of sage/brown/beige and something else..... and the other to cut that tile in half, and go with straight beige tile on the top and bottom of the many colored tile, both look good... decisions,....decisions
Dee, Carola and Joanie.... as Sharona said, have fun, fun, fun....
I think the approval is a one time thing. Not sure.
Nice long talk with my daughter this afternoon...she is just like her mother but better. I love talking with someone who thinks like me.
Day four on the soup eating. Tomorrow we can have beef..butt...and there is a but, someone has a bad tooth and won't be able to chew. So, change that to hamburger.
Laureen, what game do you play? I play "wordament".
Nat love your granite colours. Just remember no lemons on the granite.
Frank is struggling but hanging in there. One roommate is in worse shape than he is. He may be heading home (roommate not Frank). He has one teacher who announced on the first day of class that she was Sicilian..Lesbian and married. Wait till she finds out Frank has roots in Sicily. He says the worst thing is having time on his hands. He is job hunting.
For you information, Nat, I got a message from Prevention saying that it was such a beautiful picture they would like to use it in all of their promotional literature.
Sharon - hope Frank settles into the scheme of things soon. Is it a problem with the classes or with being away at college?? Maybe he has an in with the one teacher anyway.
The soup diet is wonderful for you to stick with it. Can you tell a difference in how you feel?
In Nat's honor I cleaned out in my kitchen today. Started with the refrig. drawers which has some things beyond recognition. Then I checked all the expiration dates on my cans and jars and had to throw a lot of them. I often wonder what was I thinking when I bought those. Now I need to find some more room on some of the shelves. They have filled up/gotten cluttered up and need some pitching. I also decided to bring down some of the fall/winter clothes to wash and put away in the closet/drawers. One cool day has me convinced that summer is over! Guess who will get fooled!
Sharon, I have one DD like your's and it is a delight to talk to her. Hey, one out of three taint bad.
Have a great day and thanks to whoever starts us up tomorrow. I think it is still Carol.
DD, Frank is an introvert and needs his space to recoup. I think he is fine with his school and classes. He has a time getting himself out there. He called his mother at 1AM and asked if she could come and have lunch with him that day. She lives an hour away and she went. He said knowing she was coming got him through whatever he was experiencing. I associate him with Karen's son. It takes him time to acclimate to new situations.
Hi ladies,
I had to be at our church's rummage sale at 6:45 AM this morning. I hate having rummage sales!! It is to much work and there is the same member there every time to work!
I wonder how long it will take for them to approve my two pics? Why are they approving pics now when they never did before?
Diva D I did attach two pics. It is the Prevention site that is making it hard to post them without their approval! Hope your kitchen is almost finished. Another week?
Sharon I hope poor Andy gets that tooth taken care of. I am glad that my house is positioned way off from the road because it still gets dusty here too. You guys are a glutton for punishment with that soup!!! I can't handle it!! My ds reminds me of your Frank. It is anxiety for ds and shyness. Hope he hangs in there!
Diva D it was very cold this morning. I hate having to use my Sat for a rummage sale!!
Have a good one,
Good afternoon. Beautiful day. We did Wally World this am and picked up my glasses. They were free as I had just a slight change and was using the same frame. Free is good.
Nat I had a dipped cone for breakfast. I am addicted to them and blame it all on you... your kitchen sounds divine.
DD - thanks for the fruitcake info. Glad you and Karen had a nice visit.
Is Carola heading across the pond. I cannot keep up w/ her.
Sharona - a bike ride sounds like fun. Hope Andy gets some relief from his tooth ache. Your grandson sounds like Caitie in a way. Havent heard from her so I am taking that as a good thing. Need to get a house warming card and get it off w. a happy to her.
Going to get outside and soak up some rays as the rains are heading in. I already dread it and it isn't even October! xxoo
CJ, I think Carol leaves on Wed. Dee may be the same time. I went on and ordered some fruitcake although my freezer is about full. always room for a little more.
I feel so domestic today. After cleaning the fridge, I cooked - yep, even me. I fried okra that I had forgotten I had and grilled pork chops and banana peppers. I sure am content now. Tomorrow I will warm up the remaining pork chop and fry the rest of the okra and some green tomatoes. Sometime I've got to use some new potatoes also. Did you get to use the new kitchen, Nat?? I bet you were too tired to do much as putting stuff away. Plus, I couldn't resist buying some Jonathon Apples so I've got to do something with them - probably applesauce as it is easier than peeling them for anything else.
I think everyone has had rain except for me! I've got to water some tomorrow. When I'm walking I notice some of the leaves turning color. Also, aren't the days getting short now? What happened to summer??? CJ, It's not Oct. yet but Sept is 1/2 over already. How did that happen.
The new thread:
Diva D and I had a wonderful lunch today! We left most of the chips and salsa but ate our lunch. Here are pics of the lunch:

And now ... a verse from our song about the worthless piece of garbage who stole James Gandolfini's Rolex:
We hope you burn in hell ...
You gutter punk slime.
We hope your eyeballs melt ...
So you can't tell time.
Don't worry, there's more ... and the music is awesome.
Check out the clip.
James Gandolfini
Rolex Theft Victim in Death
James Gandolfini suffered an indignity after he died in Rome -- someone apparently stole his expensive Rolex watch within hours after he died ... TMZ has learned.
We've obtained an insurance form filed by James' people. According to the form and family sources, someone stole a $3,000 Rolex submariner watch from James' hotel room on the day he died.
The insurance form says there was no damage to the room and there's no mention of forced entry. There's no suspect listed on the form ... but the implication is that someone may have pilfered the item during the commotion following the heart attack that killed the actor.
The form doesn't specifically describe the type of submariner that was stolen, but they vary wildly -- some are diamond encrusted, some are platinum and some are gold.
We found a pic of James at the "Nicky Deuce" premiere in May -- a month before he died -- and he was wearing a watch that could be the Rolex in question.
Alec Baldwin
Still a Homophobe
Now a Liar, Too!
Alec Baldwin insists he doesn't hate gays ... just "queens" ... and that's just the beginning of the mind-numbingly stupid explanation he just released in the wake of his homophobic Twitter rant.
Baldwin called up a reporter for The Gothamist today ... to address the backlash after he called for his fans to physically attack a "toxic little queen" reporter who wrote an article about his wife tweeting at James Gandolfini's funeral.
Here's what Baldwin had to say:
"The idea of me calling this guy a 'queen' and that being something that people thought is homophobic ... a queen to me has a different meaning. It's somebody who's just above. It doesn't have any necessarily sexual connotations. To me a queen ... I know women that act queeny, I know men that are straight that act queeny, and I know gay men that act queeny. It doesn't have to be a definite sexual connotation, or a homophobic connotation. To me those are people who think the rules don't apply to them."
So let's do some math. Queen + enjoying a foot up your ass = homophobic slur.
Alec Baldwin
Hates Lots of People
But REALLY Hates Gays
3:30 PM PT -- Alec just responded to all the homophobe allegations.
Alec Baldwin -- who puts Paula Deen to shame in the bigotry department -- again showed his true colors with a hate-filled tirade that targeted gays.
A British reporter wrote a story that Baldwin's wife was tweeting recipes and other things during James Gandolfini's funeral. The actor went nuts on twitter, claiming the story was false. Nothing wrong with that.
But then Baldwin played his go-to homophobic card -- he's done it before -- tweeting that the reporter was "a toxic little queen." Baldwin continued, "If (sic) put my foot up your f***ing ass, George Stark, but I'm sure you'd dig it too much."
So we gotta ask ...
James Gandolfini
'Sopranos' Stars
Flock to Funeral
Family is forever ... "The Sopranos" cast has just arrived in full force for James Gandolfini's funeral today at a church in New York.
Among the stars ... Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy), Lorraine Bracco (Dr. Melfi), Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow), Joe Pantoliano (Ralph Cifaretto), Steve Buscemi (Tony Blundetto), Edie Falco (Carmela), Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti), and show creator David Chase.
Other celebs in attendance include Alec Baldwin, John Turturro and New Jersey guv Chris Christie.
As we reported, Gandolfini passed away last week from an apparent heart attack. He was 51.
Viva la famiglia.
James Gandolfini
Death Suite Rented Out
to NY Governor's GF
Business is business when it comes to the Italians and with James Gandolfini's body still warm, the hotel he died in has already rented out his room ... to none other than NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's girlfriend!
The "Sopranos" star died from a fatal heart attack on Wednesday night, the room was rented on Thursday, and Sandra Lee checked in yesterday according to the NY Post.
The Food Network star arrived to hotel Boscolo Exedra Roma with her sister and nieces. A source told the paper that Lee's party rented a few rooms at the luxury hotel, including the $671/night fourth-floor suite where Gandolfini's 13-year-old son found him keeled over in the bathroom.
When singer Whitney Houston died in the bathtub of the Beverly Hills Hilton, they took the room off the rotation for quite some time ... but that's clearly not how it's done in Rome.
The Italians gotta make them euro euro bills y'all ...
A rep for Lee tells US Weekly that Lee has since moved out of the room, saying, "Sandra Lee has moved out of the hotel room previously occupied by James Gandolfini ... The European paparazzi has been overwhelming ... with non-stop phone calls to the room ... reporters are pulling all sorts of trickery -- trying to bribe hotel staff to get into the suite."
James Gandolfini's Widow
First Photos Out ...
Running Errands
James Gandolfini's widow was spotted out in public for the first time since his death, and her distraction of choice was shopping.
Deborah Lin, Gandolfini's wife of nearly 5 years, took a solo trip to a mall near their L.A. home on Friday, and went shopping at several stores ... including Bloomingdales. She also went to the bank.
According to a family spokesman ... they're working with the Italian government to get James' body back to the U.S. by next week -- and his funeral would be in New York no later than June 29.
James Gandolfini
One Last Tribute Dance
... from 'Sopranos' Stripper
It's a tribute worthy of Tony Soprano -- a Bada Bing stripper from the HBO show has paid her respects to James Gandolfini the only way she knows how ... by spinning around a pole in a g-string to the "Sopranos" theme song ... and it's all on video.
The clip was shot last night at the real-life Bada Bing -- a place called Satin Dolls in Lodi, NJ -- and it features longtime Bada Bing veteran Diana Lynn, who first appeared on the "The Sopranos" pilot episode back in 1999.
Diana -- who worked as a background dancer in several "Sopranos" episodes thereafter -- has been dancing at Satin Dolls for 15 years.
Diana says she's heartbroken by the loss of the great actor -- telling us she formed a bond with Gandolfini during his "Sopranos" days. She says the actor often hung around Satin Dolls after filming just to squeeze in some quality stripper time.
And based on the video, it really meant a lot to her. Bada bing, bada boom.
James Gandolfini
Reportedly Guzzled 8
Drinks Before Death
James Gandolfini reportedly gorged himself on fried food, foie gras and booze just before he died of a heart attack.
Gandolfini downed at least 8 drinks at the restaurant in the hotel where he died -- 4 shots of rum, 2 pina coladas and 2 beers -- this according to the New York Post.
The "Sopranos" star also feasted on fried prawns covered in mayo and chili sauce and foie gras, according to the paper.
On Tuesday -- the night before he died -- we're told Gandolfini dined at another restaurant and downed at least one glass of wine (Photo above).
Gandolfini struggled with alcohol and drug addiction.
Interestingly ... the doctor who runs the ER put out a statement Thursday that there was no evidence of alcohol in his system, but based on the report something is clearly off.
James Gandolfini
Family Blindsided
No Health Issues Suspected
Aside from his weight, James Gandolfini didn't have ANY underlying health problems before his death ... at least that his family was aware of, TMZ has learned.
Sources extremely close to Gandolfini's family tell us, the "Sopranos" actor never once mentioned that he was suffering from heart or other health issues -- and by all appearances, he was in near-perfect condition.
Gandolfini has admitted to having problems with cocaine and alcohol in the past -- and obviously struggled with his weight -- but we're told the family was utterly blindsided by his sudden death.
As we reported, Gandolfini passed away Wednesday from an apparent heart attack while vacationing in Italy. He was 51.
James Gandolfini
Thanks Boss ...
For the Good Times
James Gandolfini
Possible Last Photo Before Death
James Gandolfini dined at an Italian restaurant and was photographed during his meal shortly before he died.
We've been getting unconfirmed reports Gandolfini was at Vitti restaurant in Rome -- where the pic was taken -- hours before his death. Although we know he was there, the restaurant can't confirm if it turned out to be his last meal.
And now we know ... doctors tried in vain for 40 minutes to resuscitate the actor. They tried everything -- heart massage and other methods but there was no electric activity from the heart, meaning he was probably dead before he even got to the hospital. The hospital confirms that.
There will be an autopsy, which will probably include a toxicology report that will reveal if drugs or alcohol were in Gandolfini's system.
The chief doc at the ER says it looks like the "Sopranos" star died of natural causes -- a heart attack.
James Gandolfini
No Evidence of
Drugs, Alcohol ... So Far
A doctor who runs the ER where James Gandolfini was taken before he was pronounced dead says there are no suspicious factors, such as alcohol, but the statement appears premature -- especially with respect to any drugs that might have been in the actor's system.
Professor Claudio Modini, the chief ER doc, says it looks like a heart attack, adding it was "probably a natural cause of death, myocardial infarction."
Gandolfini had acknowledged he had been addicted to cocaine and booze, and substance abuse played a part in his 2002 divorce.
As for the professor's tentative conclusion, it's premature to know if drugs or alcohol were a factor. It's also unclear what -- if any -- toxicology tests will be performed on Gandolfini's body.
As we previously reported, Gandolfini died Wednesday in Italy while on vacation with his son. He had been staying at the Boscolo Hotel Exedra in Rome (pictured below).

- Feature List
DriClime Bi-Component Wicking Lining, Packable, PU Reinforced Palm, Water and Wind Resistant Stretch Shell Fabric
- Main Materials

- Weight
Lg. 0lbs 2oz (56.7g)
- Reinforcement Material
Polyurethane 0.7mm
- Lining Material
DriClime® 3-Dimentional Wicking Lining
What is it?
DriClime® mesh is a bi-component denier gradient dimensional knit made of two different denier yarns. Using extremely fine deniers this knit is extremely light with superior wicking performance.
How does it work?
The larger outer yarns are a special filament yarn with an open capillary structure, which pulls the moisture away from the skin to the backside of the mesh where it spreads to increase evaporation. The dimensional structure of the knit combined with the smaller denier yarns on the backside of the mesh increase the surface area allowing for greater moisture holding capacity.
What are the benefits of this technology?
This technology increases the interior comfort of the garment by enabling the wearer to feel less clammy and more comfortable over a wide range of temperatures and conditions. The mesh prevents condensation from collecting on the skin no matter what the level of activity due to its 3 dimensional structure. The dimensional knit structure also helps by spreading the moisture over a larger surface area maximizing the efficiency of the evaporate process. This technology solves the problem of condensation and internal comfort that even the most breathable of fabrics have problems with during high intensity activities.

Ingredients Contained By Acne Treatment Products
Acne can be absolutely annoying and it can definitely harm one's self-confidence. Suffering from acne at its various degrees is quite common out there, as more than 90% of the people in the Western world do experience acne symptoms. Even so, it is something everybody wants to get rid of as soon as possible because it can be uncomfortable and it can definitely make you feel less attractive.
While most of the people out there suffer from acne during their teenage years, there are some other people who suffer from acne even beyond this age. Some people start showing the first acne symptoms when they are still in their primary years of school, while other people continue suffering from this skin issue long past their teenage years. Showing acne symptoms is quite common even in your 20s and some of the people suffer from it in their 30s and even later on.
Under these circumstances, investing in an acne treatment that will work for your particular condition is absolutely crucial. To make sure you choose a product that has a better chance of showing results, you should definitely look out for certain ingredients a lot of acne treatment cosmetics out there contain. For more details, just visit http://www.solveacnetoday.com.
For instance, salicylic acid is very commonly encountered in these products. Basically, what it does is slowing down the shedding of the cells, which is one of the leading causes that lead to acne (when combined with an oily skin and bacteria especially). Most of the products containing this ingredient have it in a proportion of 0.5 to 2 percent in them, according to the degree of severity they are meant to treat.
Benzoyl peroxide is also quite commonly encountered both in cosmetic products and in medication related to acne treatment. This is considered to be almost like a magical ingredient because it fights all the primary causes that lead to acne: it removes dead skin cells and excess sebum and it also removes the bacteria that causes acne. Still, it is better that you do not use products that contain a lot of it because it can be harmful in large quantities, causing dry skin, redness and so on.
Another ingredient commonly encountered in these products is sulfur. When it is combine with other common ingredients (such as benzoyl peroxide), this ingredient removes the dead skin cells that block the skin's pores. However, do make sure that your acne treatment products do not contain this ingredient (or even better yet, that they do not contain it all), because it can dry out the skin very much and you will definitely want to avoid that.

FlashFlo hydration waistpack.
Brand: Camelbak
CamelBak's innovative backpacks are the better water bottle -- they obviate the need for disposable water bottles, which create excess waste. The originator of the sustainable, hands-free hydration pack, CamelBak designs sacks that hold a large water pouch (or "Antidote Reservoir," in CamelBak-speak) that hook up to a filter and an insulated, straw-like tube (the Quick-Link system). The tube is long enough so that, when thirst calls, you can sip without interrupting your biking, hiking, or whatever else you're doing. Launched in 1988, CamelBak was founded by Michael Eidson, whose long distance bike-riding in the Texas heat inspired the idea for a convenient hydration pack. The M.U.L.E., the Scorpion, the Kicker (for kids), and other packs feature roomy side pockets and compression straps to make your outdoorsy adventures a breeze, while CamelBak's standard water bottles, like the water-filter feature of the Groove, help you live more sustainably at home and work. Based in California, CamelBak also designs tactical gloves, backpacks (like the Transformer and Talon) and other gear for military and police forces around the world.

It may seem incongruous to expand a business by planning how to leave it, but entrepreneur Susan Schneider, owner and managing partner of Private Label Linens, LLC (PLL), says it's a strategy that has "helped me move my company forward in a positive way."
The impetus for the plan was the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program in Chicago. Susan's husband, Richard, a partner in PLL and owner of Supreme Novelty Fabrics, participated in Chicago's inaugural program earlier this year. His insights helped them both "view our respective businesses differently," Susan states.
PLL is the only company in Chicago that focuses exclusively on manufacturing and renting custom linens, using domestic-manufactured fabrics and local employees. For years, PLL focused on selling private label linens to area restaurants. After the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program, they launched an in-stock linen rental and laundering service, which resulted in immediate sales and some high-level contracts. For example, PLL provided all the linens for the largest dinner at the NATO conference Chicago hosted in May. PLL linens also graced the tables at President Obama's birthday celebration, the Nobel Peace Prize awards dinner, and the opening nights at the Lyric Opera and Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Eager to win lucrative corporate and government contracts, Susan is in the process of becoming certified by the WBDC as a Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) and has met with WBDC Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) staff for assistance in navigating the government contracting process. She also joined two organizations, the Illinois Restaurant Association and Meeting Planners International, where she took immediate advantage of an opportunity to email members about her services, resulting in an instant business boost.
Since the first of the year, her company's sales have increased dramatically, and the number of employees has nearly doubled, from 9 to 17. Virtually all the new hires reside in Chicago's southwest side where her manufacturing facility is headquartered.
"The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses program gave us the courage to try new things and stop doing certain things that weren't working," she affirms. "We no longer feel like a small cog in a big wheel. There's lots of support out there. We just weren't taking advantage of it."

Phipps Plaza offers both free and Valet parking. Free parking is located around the entire property, with a total of 3,700 parking spaces. Three levels of garage parking are available (P1, P2 and P3) with direct access to Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom and Belk, as well as Monarch Court and Court of the South (the two "centers" of the mall). Ample handicapped spaces are also available near the main entrances throughout the property. Valet parking is also available year-round in two areas: Peachtree Road entrance (between Twist and Latitude) and the AMC/Davio's entrance off of Lenox Road. The cost for valet parking is $10.
