Summer Flies By
, 10th August 2010 at 08:32 PM (446 Views)
Yeah, I'm too lazy to get an image. And I probably will be for the rest of the time I post blogs here. :/ So yeah, no more images. Although there's Google if you want your fill of images anyways, so yeah.
Anyways, this isn't about how I'm not using images in my blogs anymore. This is about how fast I feel my summer's flown by. It feels like just yesterday I finished my sophomore year, and now in just 3-4 weeks, I'll be entering my junior year. Holy crap, this summer has gone by way too fast. And I don't like it either. Especially since I've barely done a thing. This needs to change, and soon. :| I'm going to make the end of my summer a million times more exciting, one way or another. (:

It's been 5 months since I made cake due to the fact that I was planning my wedding, working extra hard at my full time job, and also house hunting. So there wasn't enough time for cakes at the moment.
I'm back from my honeymoon and ready to start pumping out those cakes like I used to. So far so good, I've got about 6 orders for this month.
Anyway, a close friend asked about a price for a cake for a bridal shower. it's actually her Mother who's asking, but you get my drift.
It's for 35 people, 1/2 vanilla, 1/2 chocolate, cookie dough filling, and roses (fondant), BC, and BC swirls on the cake. Colors are pink, magenta, and gold.
I would've charged $3.50 per person, but I gave her a price of $3.00 per person and the roses are $4 each.
She said that her Mother wasn't looking into spending that much and that her budget is $60!!
A $60 cake for 35 people.... I'm so over the "I'm on a budget".
The economy is affecting EVERYONE, not just those who want a cheap cake!

Besides, by the time AO starts, 40 or even 65 points won't matter too much for her ranking. If she bombs out in R1 it's not the end of the world, she doesn't lose a lot of points by not going through qualies and gets a new tennis experience of sorts. Especially if she bombs out to a big name
I guess that's true but think about it this way:
The chances of Donna winning R1 is about 1/3 or 2/5 right. The chance of her winning R1 in Qualifying is About 3/4 or 4/5. She will be very highly seeded and it would give her a great chance to qualify. She should be better by the time she plays in Australia then in the US Open, and she go quite a difficult draw there. Even though it would sound stupid in the short run, I think that playing 25Ks to guarantee you make MD of a Grand Slam when Qualifying would be
more beneficial to her development
, is not the best move for a 16 year old
But your points are the most valid I have seen

I have a feeling I already know what the answer is going to be, but I'm hoping for better! After lots of research and looking for a sofa, so far the one I like most is Drexel Heritage's "Avalon," a Chesterfield-inspired sofa (tight back, tight/bench seat, button tufting on the seat & interior of the back & sides) in a fabric upholstery. We have tried out so many and it's such a good combo of the look we're after, the way we are planning to use it, and the way we want it to feel. Supposedly retails for $3,500, on sale til this Sunday for $2,600 not including delivery etc. I went home and went online to see if I could learn anymore about it, and it says the seat platform is webbed. I couldn't believe it -- but should I perhaps be paying more attention to what's inside the bench-seat cushioning rather than what's underneath it? It doesn't say Pirelli webbing, it just says "Webbed seating platform," and I see no info elsewhere on the site about what's in the cushions. I love this sofa but don't want to buy something that I will regret. Please let me know what you think! |

An eight way hand tied spring system would have a web based platform underneath it on which the springs sit, but it would not be acceptable to have webbing in place of springs on a sofa of that price. |

cobacco (50) | Mild to Medium | None Detected | Medium to Full | Pleasant to Tolerable |
A sweet Balkan with lots of flavor! Bag note = Balkan + Dark Chocolate. Moisture level = ready to smoke. Charring light and initial flavor is a basic Balkan. As the bowl warms, the sweetness and flavor build. Flavor is fantastic to the bottom of the bowl. This is almost a shag cut and there was no junk; 100% good tobacco! 2 ounces will fill a pint jar. Very nice pipe manners... cool, no bite, and clean. Smokes to an almost nonexistent ash. N level is medium-. I think most folks will adore this stuff, as long as they're expecting the sweet flavor of the blend. I'm glad I tried Arango Super Balkan and will surely keep a regular supply. Put it on the shelf between Balkan Sasieni and C&D Super Balkan. Happy smoking. Hope this review is helpful.

Quite a unique Balkan blend. The interplay here between Black Cavendish, Latakia, Orientals, and Virginia is endlessly fascinating and tasty! No bite for me at any smoking speed. This is currently in a rotation including McClelland No.1 Grade Balkan, GL Pease Odyssey, Peter Stokkebye English Oriental Supreme, and Cornell & Diehl Super Balkan. This is hands down my preferred smoke! Hazy memories of Balkan Sobranie from the Seventies aside (I have only come back to pipe smoking in the last 6 months), this is the best Balkan I've experienced thus far! It's available in bulk! I've read a lot of reviews here of cheaper Balkans which lack depth and/or complexity. I suspect that this one will satisfy many! :-)

Shreveport, LA (KMSS) — Red Mango and Raising Canes on Youree Drive in Shreveport devoted today to the dogs; and the Shreveport Dog Park Alliance. The restaurants donated 20% and 15% respectively, of sales to the alliance.
Since filing a lawsuit against Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover in April, legal fees have been adding up as to two sides battle it out in court.
However, while the mayor has accrued almost $25,000 in fees, he is not forced to fundraise because he is not paying his legal bills; instead taxpayers are responsible.
In August, the City Council voted to continue paying Glover's court costs, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. The Dog Park Alliance realizes this is a city matter, and they accept the decision, but others don't feel the same.
Many who weren't comfortable going on camera said they didn't think it was fair to pay for the mayor to fight something they support.
However, despite increasing costs, the Dog Park Alliance won't give up until their spokesdog Baxter and all his doggie friends can play, unleashed, at Hamel's Memorial Park on the riverfront.

Armed with current techniques for properly maintaining noggin lawns, Regis Salon's network of stores keeps clients' hair in order as dictated by the latest trends. Within this caravan of hair bazaars, customers' wild manes are tamed by skillful stylists; use your Groupon toward a shampoo, cut, and blow-dry, and lean back and dream of breakdancing Stay Puft Marshmallow Men as a stylist carefully cleanses hair with shampoo and conditioner and then clips it into stylish head hedges that beautifully complement scalp-garden pathways. Afterward, the hair that's left behind will receive a loving blow-dry for a style that gleams and glitters like a ruby-encrusted bowling ball. During the treatment, stylists offer helpful tips and tricks to help clients care for hair at home. If a shampoo and cut isn't your cup of sports drink, put your Groupon toward the cost of another service, such as hair coloring (starting at $52), highlights (starting at $75), or a perm (starting at $75).
Rock music and pizza. It's an unlikely pairing as the inspiration for an Aveda salon, but in the hands of friends Jentry and Katy, it grew beyond that as the foundation of their local hair and makeup hub.
An Austin native, co-owner, and stylist, Jentry would sneak into his hometown's Black Cat music venue while still underage to catch sight of acts such as Willie Nelson and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Over the years, the hall came to represent Austin's unique charm and live-music foundation, never succumbing to gimmickry or the status-quo throughout its lifespan. The venue's ability to stick to its roots stayed with Jentry, remaining an inspiration when years later, he and a client, marketing whiz Katy, dreamed of opening their own salon. After months of late-night pizza-and-brainstorming sessions, the concept for their salon came full circle when a black kitten curled up on Jentry's porch. In a unique move toward remembering a tenacious rock bar and what it stood for, the twosome founded their salon: The Black Cat.
Today, a fleet of stylists brandish their shears, color, and powder puffs amid decor that reflects The Black Cat's grittier roots. Clients see the vintage script of the "Sorry, We're Open" front sign before encountering the salon's gray and blue walls accented with rustic wood furniture and panels. The result is a carefully curated contrast of sleek and scuffed, much like a hitchhiker's diamond cufflinks.
Since 1988, the deal-hunters at Dry Clean Super Saver have connected customers with a trustworthy network of dry-cleaning and automotive-repair technicians. Armed with easy-to-use punch cards, clients save huge amounts money on dry cleaning and automotive maintenance, the two costliest household expenses after plumbing repair and poltergeist removal. The association of participating cleaners and garages stretches across the country, ensuring that cardholders can remove stains from a dress shirt or change an oil filter wherever they happen to be.
The inch-loss system offered at Redox Beauty Bar works to tone buns, thighs, and waists by simulating a physical workout using microcurrent technology developed by the coinventor of the pacemaker. It helps people slim down without the strain of vigorous exercise routines, the risk of surgery, or the tongue burns of an all-grapefruit diet. Treatments are administered in a private room and can deliver the same results as a good workout.
At Fringe, stylists keep abreast of the latest techniques for snipping strands and shifting hair shades through ongoing instruction from Paul Mitchell's trainers. At a color bar, they custom-blend hues to transform manes into a new beach-ready blond or the precise shade of gray needed to blend in with a rival's office cubicle. The salon encourages clients to unwind with a complimentary mimosa in the morning or a glass of wine or cold beer in the afternoon, and guests relax further during a manicure or pedicure.

Trailer for the 'Looper' Trailer Features Rian Johnson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Bragging on Action
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen did this trailer for the trailer thing become the norm? Was I napping or something? We're now advertising for advertisements? Maybe that's what happens when you give iTunes the exclusive – they demand that you make another video. Already got the trailer you worked real hard on? Great.

Why are soft drinks, such as lemonade etc., called soft drinks?
This made me think of why hard drinks are alcoholic. I have found that is probably the origin of hard liquor. liquor: Narrowed sense of "fermented or distilled drink" (especially wine) first recorded c.1300. To liquor up "get drunk" is from 1845. Hard meaning intoxicating, spiritous, 'strong'" sense, surprisingly, dates at least from 1879 (see edit below supporting its earlier use), from Boston Times about someone brought up on charges: For Australia and New Zealand, it's recorded in 1890. As for soft, "of beverages, non-alcoholic, non-spiritous," there is a citation from 1880 in the OED online, and a quote from 1891 by a brigade commander, General Robinson, that of the "Canteen" or "Post Exchange" system. There is a British Soft Drinks History devoted to soft drinks. They state that soft was first described as small, and note that a tombstone of 1764 records Edited to note: StonyB has found an 1843 book (British?) with a very interesting phrase. While reflecting on the perils of idleness, Luke Hansard states that two men could be persuades to fight (for entertainment) by use of "soft sawder" (which actually means flattery) and hard liquor. So clearly, hard for strong alcoholic beverages was in use by the early 1840s. To StonyB: Great find! |
I have found this article about the origin of the name: (emphasis mine) |
Because beverage that contain alcohol are "hard" drinks. Consider hard cider: |

In Judaism, the expected king of the line of David who will deliver the Jews from foreign bondage and restore Israel's golden age. The term used for the messiah in the Greek New Testament, christos, was applied to Jesus, who is accepted by Christians as the promised redeemer. Messiah figures also appear in various other religions and cultures; Shiite Muslims, for example, look for a restorer of the faith known as the mahdi, and Maitreya is a redeeming figure in Buddhism.

Number of Payday loans up
The number of people using payday loan shops in the Medway area of Kent has gone up significantly.
The number of people using payday loan shops in the Medway area of Kent has gone up significantly.
Towns in the south-east are in the grip of a soaring personal debt crisis fuelled by the rapid growth of payday loan shops. Moneylenders, who charge interest rates as a high as four thousand percent.
The cash transfers are promoted as quick-fix loans, affordable as long as they are repaid promptly. But for many, the 'quick fix' quickly becomes an inescapable financial trap.
The Medway Towns have the highest concentration of payday loan shops in Britain. A cluster of 23 in a small area of Chatham and Gillingham. And, as John Ryall reports, you do not necessarily need a 'pay day' to get a payday loan.

Are we neighbours from hell?
(85 Posts)Have posted this elsewhere but thought I would get some other views, and wonder if others have had similar experiences.
We are a family of four - mum, dad, two kids aged 5 and 7. We moved from the country to a 'middle-class' residential housing estate in a small town, in order that our children could see more of their friends outside of school. We are respectable, working people and our children are well mannered and polite. We keep our home and garden in good order. Our house is, along with all others in the estate, detached, and there are five neighbouring properties (three to the sides, and two directly behind). We are on reasonably good terms with the neighbours either side (our actual next door neighbours), the other three are actually on another street and we have little or nothing to do with us.
We very much enjoy living here, although there aren't too many other families with children (there are a few), and many of the houses are owned by older or retired people. In fact, all of those around our house are older or retired.
The weather here has been great this weekend. The kids asked to get the paddling pool out. So on Saturday we were out all morning, and arrived back early afternoon and got the pool filled and the kids played in it for a couple of hours having a great time. They also played on the trampoline.
Today, from just before lunchtime, the kids and two of their friends were having a ball in the paddling pool, laughing and shrieking.
Our neighbours from directly behind us came round to complain about the noise our kids were making. I guess they are in early-mid 60s. Their opening gambit was to tell me that most of the people in the estate are older/retired and want to live in peace and quiet. They told me that they feel they can no longer use their garden or conservatory because of the noise of the children. They had even observed that the kids had had some friends back last Friday afternoon and it was noisy. I should say at this point that last Friday we had four school friends back and they all played on the trampoline in the back garden between 3.30 and 6.00. The neighbours say that it always starts at around 3.30 in the afternoon (coincidentally the time the kids return from school!).
Staggered by this visit, I remained completely composed and polite. I told them that I appreciated their issue but that they may have to accept that when young children play on a summer day in a paddling pool or trampoline that they'll tend to laugh, shout and shriek with happiness and delight. I said to them that while I understood that they had become used to having older, childless neighbours over the past few years, there could be no guarantee this would always be the case. I also made the point that their being retired doesn't entitle them to any peace and quiet. They questioned how many children we had in the house, almost sneering at the bikes on the front lawn.
We have had no other complaints or comments, but they claim around five other people (or households) agree with them. During this surreal conversation my wife arrived back home, and deducing what was being discussed became quite upset that we had a) caused distress and b) that we were the topic of discussion in the adjoining street. However, I told them that while I would raise this issue with the children, I thought it would be impossible for them to play in a Dickenzian silence, and completely impractical to police.
The neighbours claim that it's happening all the time, but it really isn't. The kids are at school from 9am until around 3.20pm each weekday, and we're frequently away at weekends visiting friends, which they told us was 'a joy' for them. Every few weeks the kids get to invite some friends round on a Friday afternoon for a play and dinner. Usually until around 6.30pm. Regardless of all of this, the weather has only been good enough for outdoor play for the past few weeks! The neighbours said they'd prefer it if the kids could play out the front of the house and on the road instead of playing in the back garden!
Dutifully, after lunch, when the kids went back out to play, I tried to get them to play a bit more 'quietly', but it was just completely pointless. They jokingly whispered for a few seconds then splashed back into the cold paddling pool with shrieking and laughter! I ended up making more noise telling them to shoosh! It was absurd.
Our kids are as equally entitled to have fun and play in our own garden as the neighbours are to do whatever they like in theirs. They're not excessively noisy to my mind, they aren't shouting, fighting or swearing. They're not kicking balls around or playing loud music, but even if they were, I can't see why that would be inappropriate. The kids are in bed by 8pm on weeknights, and have rarely been out after 7pm since the clocks went forward, so neighbours would never be disturbed by noise late at night (we're not irresponsible parents). I don't want to fall out with these people, but if they're annoyed by the kids playing for a couple of hours in the late afternoon, they're going to really hate it during the summer holidays, and I fear that the situation will degenerate into complete acrimony very quickly.
One of the neighbours actually used the phrase 'live and let live' during our discussion, which was more than ironic given the nature of the discussion. I am assuming that the root of the problem is that they're so used to having literally no noise from this house, that to move to having a young family over the fence is total shock to them. None of us though, has the right to choose who buys neighbouring properties. I feel that in a way, they are victimising us because we are a family. While I don't want to charactarise them, or make assumptions, I have little doubt that if we had been an older couple who had been having friends round for a garden party until late at night that there would be no problem.
We're not behaving anti-socially, or breaking any laws. All we're doing is making reasonable use of our property, which for comparatively short periods involves the kids articulating themselves when having fun. We don't want our kids to be sitting inside watching TV and playing computer games, we want them outside, on bikes and trampolines, getting fresh air and exercise. While it no doubt sounds a little harsh, my inclination is that if the situation becomes that big a problem for them, they should move to a retirement community where they can be guaranteed no families would move in. I totally understand and appreciate how noise can cause great stress to some people, but equally, we can't tell our kids that they can no longer have friends round to play, or that they can't use the back garden any more. We feel totally gutted that we have such intolerant neighbours, but I accept the sad fact of the matter is that we now feel as harassed as I imagine they do!
Any thoughts would be useful if you are in a similar position (on whichever side of the fence).
I think you are now over thinking this . You have spoken to the council and you can tell your neighbour to phone then if they moan again, you know what the outcome will be so no need to worry.
The only time I stopped my children or their friends making noise was when the people behind us had a baby. When I saw the curtains close they all had to leave the trampoline and go around the front.
The only thing I can't stand, when in the garden is other people's music.
I dare say that I could be more considerate in their eyes/ears, but this is where the quandary lies. At which point does our consideration for our neighbours' wishes start to affect the enjoyment we should expect from our own home? One is no more important than the other. They don't want to use their back garden because it isn't quiet enough when my kids are playing in it - that's a choice.
Again, I don't want to appear to be difficult or unreasonable in any way, but taking your example of your parents' living in a quiet street... it presumably isn't quite as quiet as it was because a family has moved in? That's the chance you take if you live in a mixed community instead of a particular social setting, then you have to accept that your neighbours will change from time to time. Equally, if my neighbours chose to smoke in their back garden and the smoke blew over our fence onto our patio we'd just have to tolerate it even though we hate the smell of cigarette smoke.
So am I being unreasonable by allowing my kids to play (within my rules), or are the neighbours being unreasonable for expecting to be able to have tranquility during every hour of the day in their own garden. I suppose we're both being equally as reasonable/unreasonable about it.
People don't like change very much, but sometimes it's outwith our control.
I suppose my point is that neither party has any more or less entitlement do whatever they want in their garden (provided it's legal of course), but in complaining the way they did (which I've probably not articulated very well in my original post), they've in fact put us in a position where we feel uncomfortable for using our own garden at all. Which I guess makes us the considerate ones!!
Y'know when coco said you were overthinking this? Refer to that.
You are starting to sound like hard work.
THEY are being unreasonable. That is unless you have jammed the trampoline and paddling pool right up against their fence when you have a ginormous garden, or are training your DCs to win the loudest, most piercing shriek in the world contest.
Now STOP obsessing I mean that kindly.
Look - they're a pair of miserable scrotes, that's all!
Some folks are like that. Just tell them to do one.
All this mooning and pondering over it is needless.
Miserable scrotes
Do one
End of.
How sad when the sound of children happily playing is considered a disruption. Op you sound a lovely family and the neighbours are very rude.
Re the 'neighbour listening' thing - that is just a feature of close together gardens, I think. Your neighbours can't help the fact that they aren't making any noise when they're gardening, so you think that they can hear you talking (which they probably can!) - you just have to kind of have a mental block, I think, nothing else to be done about it.
Tbh i wouldn't worry. As long as they aren't it before 9 or after about 8 i can't see an issue.
I bring my little horrors in if they are too noisy
You recorded your dcs noise and will edit it later?
Okay now I think you're being very daft.
Move on.
YANBU and I dont think you're being daft either, sounds to me like you were just a bit mortified that your neighbours did this and now you feel the need to check your own opinion against that of others. I would react similarly.
I do think you need to just chalk it up to difficult individuals, remain polite but firm and continue to let your children enjoy the garden.
I too really think you should let it go. Again, it's 20/hrs per week of completely reasonable noise in daytime hours. Probably the best hours you could possibly have picked -- not too early not too late. I get concerned easily about neighbor relations and I still think you should stop worrying now.
And, since your wife was upset by it, it's probably up to you to be the calm reassuring one -- "Honey I've called the council, there's nothing to worry about. People are not talking about is, I highly doubt everyone feels like that couple does, so we're going to just forget it. Come on let's go watch our kids play in the sun."

I'm all in favor of Rio not being a love interest, although I don't think any of the female characters in Zexal need a love interest, especially when most of them are just part of Yuma's harem, and seeing her duel would be great. It could give her more sceentime to become more interesting and give Yuma slightly less screentime, which always works for me. Even though the details around her make her sound like she'll be a tough duelist and I do hope that's the case, I'm trying to not get too excited given how they tend to handle female characters. Still, I'm hoping that she'll be decent, especially when I do want to like more characters in this show.
As for the song, it sounded okay, but I'll have to wait until I hear the whole song to get a better impression of it.

Of course your sister destroyed your Spy Bias lens, so quickly fix it up with the Bias Goggle Replacement Lens and get back to the distortion-free and optically correct vision you're used to thanks to ARC spherical dual-lens technology. It's almost surprising that your sis did what she did to your lens because it has anti-scratch protection that let you brush past tree branches for years. At least there's nothing she can do about the anti-fog technology that contains Spy's super secret formula to keep your vision as clear as the bluebird days you love to ski in.

Mother vows to work with district, school, students to change things, one person at a time.
The mother of a Saugus High Student whose gym locker was
painted with a swastika and a homophobic slur on Wednesday is angry and ready
to do something to stop the "riptide" of discrimination that has existed in the
community for years.
Marcia Davis, whose twin sons, Alex and Todd, both saw the
graffiti when they entered the locker area, works as an administrative aide at
the high school. She says that desensitized students who use foul language casually
and off-handedly refer to each other by derogatory names are the biggest part
of the problem.
"They don't get it, it's nothing to them. They feel they
should be able to say these things like it's no big thing," she lamented.
She called a meeting of school administrators and law
enforcement on Thursday, but said the person specifically in charge of
addressing diversity on Hart District campuses, which includes hate crimes,
Greg Lee, was conspicuously absent.
"The district sent their PR person, but Mr. Lee wasn't
there," Davis said. She still hadn't
heard from him Friday afternoon.
"In last 24-48 hours, the school district and the sheriff
have both agreed that there's been an undertow of incidents like this," she
said. "Their approach has been as long as it stays under the wire, they kind of
just leave it alone. They've addressed the issues as they've come up but they
agreed they now obviously haven't done their job if it hasn't gone down. We've
moved into a time where this should be less, not more."
Lt. Brenda Cambra, who works with detectives that handle
hate crimes, said that the Saugus High case will be investigated as a hate
crime because of the presence of the swastika.
"We get a certain number of vandalism cases that involve
swastikas," Cambra said. "Not all of them are at the schools; some are out in
the community. Sometimes the victims are Jewish, sometimes they're not."
She said that the fact that it happened on a school campus
might be a benefit, because of the proximity of school deputies having a
working relationship with students that could speed the investigation.
"The school also has its own policies and punishments for
breaking school rules," Cambra said. "We work together and share information,
but their administration could have a different approach. The perpetrator could
be disciplined on a school level, even if it's determined that it's not a
criminal matter. Only time and investigation will tell what really happened."
Davis was
optimistic about the meeting, despite Lee's absence.
"I think the dialogue was positive and has opened up some
doors," she said.
Since the incident Wednesday, Davis
said her sons have witnessed two more discriminatory acts; as they walked to class,
a girl said to her friend "Oh, there are the two Jew boys," and one of her sons
saw a paper where anti-Semetic phrases were written. In that incident, the
paper was confiscated and turned in to the teacher. According to Davis,
Saugus Principal Bill Bolde told her that the student will be disciplined.
"I believe if we can catch these people one at a time, going
one by one, (we will) change the environment here, I believe we can
change the environment everywhere," she said.
Davis said that
another part of the problem is desensitized youth aren't affected by
traditional discipline.
"It's not a consequence anymore," she said. "They usually
give them a suspension or expulsion; they get sent home or they go to the
Opportunity Room. When we went to detention, our parents were phoned and we
were fearful. There's no fear anymore."
Davis would like
to see offenders meeting with survivors of the Holocaust to bring some gravity
to the situation. She suggested to Bolde that he contact The Museum Of
Tolerance to help determine an appropriate discipline.
"I still have concerns are they going to stick this back
under the rug, but this has been a riptide in this community for many years.
Every year we talk about this, but we never do anything about it," she said.
Her sons are having a difficult time and are a bit apprehensive
about school. One is angry about the incident, but both are fearful that the
attention might make things even worse. Davis
has has to convince them that pursuing the issue will be the best for all in
the long run.
"If I would have not escalated this, they (administrators) would
have taken the report, sent the boys back to school and this would have never
been addressed," she said.
"Why is it that I
know what is right and nobody else does? I think it's fear-driven," she said. "I
am not going to let this rest now."

Welcome to We Celebrate Moms
Welcome to We Celebrate Moms, where we salute moms everywhere, promoting awareness on not just to celebrate mothers, but to honor mothers. For many of us, our mothers were our greatest support. She was our first teacher and she knew us better than we knew ourselves. By the time we knew who she really was, our stride was set with the strength to embrace our dreams and reach for success. For many of us our moms have passed on, but there is a legacy, a mantra, a lesson, and wise words that live on in our hearts. We celebrate Moms gives honor to the memory of countless mothers who have passed on and to mothers who live on to raise phenomenal daughters and great sons. It is my hearts desire that We Celebrate Moms will inspire women young and old and celebrate mothers everywhere.

SAN DIEGO, April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- XIFIN Inc., the leading provider of revenue cycle management for diagnostic laboratories, announced today that XIFIN's CEO and Executive Chairman, Lale White, will speak at the Executive War College Conference in New Orleans on April 28th 2009. In attendance will be senior executives, laboratory administrators and pathologists from many of the nation's largest laboratory organizations.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081013/LAM046LOGO)
The Executive War College is a two-day program with a single objective: to help laboratory administrators and pathologists learn practical methods for improving the organizational performance and financial success of their laboratories. Mrs. White will discuss the conversion of the International Statistical Classification of Disease and Related Health Problems (ICD) from version ICD-9 to ICD-10 and what laboratories and pathology groups must know to properly prepare for this change.
The ICD classifications are alphanumeric codes that represent any known disease, condition, or circumstance that has or could cause a person's death. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) publishes a version of the ICD to include diagnostic and operative procedures, which is used for health records, reimbursement systems, and public data. On August 21st, 2008, the HHS proposed new code sets to be used for reporting diagnoses on health care transactions. Under the proposal, the ICD-9-CM code sets would be replaced with the ICD-10 code sets, effective October 1, 2013. With 17,000 diagnosis codes, ICD-10 will be much more complex and require more training of laboratory staff and office staff of referring physicians.
"The conversion from ICD-9 to ICD-10 is likely to be both disruptive and expensive for diagnostic laboratories,"

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - The estimated cost of renovations to the building that houses Newfoundland and Labrador's legislature continues to balloon.
Transportation and Works Minister Nick McGrath says the cost is expected to be about $56 million, up from the original $40-million price tag in 2009 to renovate the building in St. John's.
The work includes the replacement of windows and brick as well as repairs to the tower.
It is the first major overhaul of the building since it opened in 1960.
McGrath says costs rose after crews discovered limestone around the windows had deteriorated, requiring the replacement of entire window casings.
Liberal critic Tom Osborne says some new windows are already leaking and he expects costs will only rise once window blinds are installed.
But McGrath says any leaks will be covered under warranty, and not all windows will require blinds.
The work is expected to be completed next year.

Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Britain's current account deficit in the second quarter narrowed to the least since the credit crisis began three years ago as returns from investments abroad increased.
The deficit narrowed to 2 billion pounds, the smallest since the first quarter of 2008, from a revised 4.1 billion pounds in the first three months of this year, the Office for National Statistics said in a release in London today. The deficit was 6.9 billion pounds a year earlier.
As a percentage of gross domestic product, the current- account deficit was minus 0.5 percent, the least since the third quarter of 1998, the statistics office said.
The statistics office revised the first-quarter current account deficit to 4.1 billion pounds from an initial figure of 9.4 billion pounds. The current-account data is normally released with the GDP report, but was delayed due to revisions carried out by the statistics office in the new Blue Book.

Recipe for Health: Granola
Food for Thought:
The autumn snap in the air signals a change of gears and provides a good excuse to go hiking and appreciate the beauty in nature.
"Every family trip to the park or the woods should include a bag of granola," write Julie and Charles Mayfield in their new cookbook The Paleo Summer Survival Guide.
"It seems nearly impossible to think that in all my years of camping and hiking, I've never made my own version of this stuff until recently," says Charles. "And now that I've made my own, I'll never go back to store-bought! If you have a hankering for cereal, this is a great alternative, and many Paleo folks top such creations with coconut milk to relive their cereal days (unsweetened almond milk would also work)."
1½ C coconut flakes
1½ C slivered almonds
½ C sunflower seeds
½ C cashew pieces
½ C pecans, coarsely chopped
½ C pumpkin seeds
½ C finely shredded coconut
¼ C coconut oil
1 T honey
1 T maple syrup
½ t vanilla extract
1 t ground cinnamon
½ t sea salt
¼ t ground nutmeg
Recipe Key C = cup T = tablespoon t = teaspoon oz = ounce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a large bowl, combine the slivered almonds through shredded coconut. Microwave the coconut oil, honey, maple syrup and vanilla in a small microwave-safe glass bowl for 20 seconds. Whisk the oil mixture, blending it thoroughly, and then pour it over the nut-seed mixture and stir until the nuts and seeds are completely coated. Spread the nut-seed mixture out onto a cookie sheet and bake for 3 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven; sprinkle the cinnamon, salt and nutmeg over the nut-seed mixture; and bake for another 3 minutes. Remove the granola from the oven and allow it to cool. Serve it at once or store it in airtight container. The granola will keep for up to 2 weeks in airtight container and for a month or longer if stored in freezer.
Variations: Feel free to mix and match ingredients to come up with your own version of portable goodness. Add in some dried fruit after baking the granola to bring in a bit more sweetness and an interesting texture.
