Over the last decade, New Orleans native Geoffrey Roniger has become well known in the San Francisco Bay Area for his unique approach to yoga that emphasizes sound biomechanical alignment principles, intuitive movement, and eloquent use of metaphor to translate this ancient tradition into our contemporary cultural vernacular. In a yoga world filled with faux spirituality and frenetic pose choreography, his teaching stands out for its characteristic clarity, sincerity, and gourmet quality sequencing. After graduating from Vanderbilt University with a degree in European Studies in 1998, Geoffrey moved to Edinburgh, Scotland where he helped renovate a 19th-century church into Europe's largest yoga studio. Shortly after his return to the United States, he graduated from Piedmont Yoga... Read the profile >>
Krystall started her journey to a healthy lifestyle only five years ago, when a good friend introduced her, by complete happenstance, to "hot yoga." At the time, Krystall was unknowingly 40 lbs. overweight and terribly unhappy in her life. She had no idea how that one simple decision to go to the hot yoga class would end up forever changing her body, mind, career, and potentially the New Orleans health and wellness community. Although she doesn't seem to remember much from the first few classes, she knew she had to keep going back. After a year of practice, she decided to quit her corporate 9-5 job and become a Bikram Yoga teacher. From there, she slowly took on more roles and responsibilities around her yoga studio, until she was the manager and a full-time teacher. In 2012,... Read the profile >>

Warn Your Elders!! AARP Is A Parasite.
Posted by
TEXAS -- I have not seen a single aspect of this company that would lead me to believe them to be credulous in any way.
* It took a full 10 hrs over a 2 day period, just to enroll.
* I repeatedly experienced misinformation from the 12 reps that were "helping" me. Ask 3 different reps the same question, and see what happens.
* I've been placed on very long holds, only to be disconnected. I've been "disconnected" over a half dozen times. Sometimes while on hold, sometimes when the representative was obviously stalling.
* The automated phone system seems to be designed to promote frustration, in hopes you'll give up.
* I've had 2 reps supposedly email me a list of local providers. One took 60 seconds to put it together. The 2nd put me on 3 long holds over a 15 minute period. I've received nothing. (Not even in the "spam" folder)
* Beyond the dropped calls, I've been redirected to reps in other departments that don't even handle the issue in question, then disconnected while being transferred back.
* Trying to find some things on their website is similar to yearning for the Holy Grail.
* Hartford Insurance quoted me over double what I currently pay.
* Delta Dental only paid half of what their agreement states.
* Advertised "benefit" is "15% or greater" discount from Hewlett Packard. Actual discount offered was about 1.5%
*** Do not be fooled. This is organized crime. I firmly believe that they intentionally use aspects of old age against their clients. If you have another option, chances are incredibly high that the other is the lesser evil. AARP and the affiliates that I have dealt with have left me with the impression that they are all unscrupulous, unethical vultures. If you let your family members enroll with these companies, they will most definitely suffer in a variety of ways. But be certain there is another valid option, because if you drop them, you can't re-enroll for 12 months. Their online rating is one star out of five, and I can personally guarantee that this is only because "zero stars" is not an option. I personally experienced all of the above in the first 8 weeks of membership.

The Hartford - Dishonest Thieves
Posted by
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY -- I sent this letter to The Hartford in response to their 'new lower rates' promo they sent me:
"The Hartford May 10, 2011
To Whom It May Concern:
I recently received the enclosed 'Lower Rate Notice' from you. The only 'lower rate' I am interested in was the one I had with you before you cancelled my policy. In January 2011, having almost no income, I did not have the full amount for the payment requested on the statement you sent me that was 3 times what I normally paid (under the guise of being an annual deposit) and I paid only my regular monthly amount. You promptly sent that back to me with a notification that you cancelled my policy. This happened after I had requested copies of all my many years of policy and payment history because your billing amounts are irregular and I could never get the amounts you wanted to balance with what I paid and what you said I owed. No matter what I thought I had paid in advance I was never paid in advance according to you and frequently accrued late fees because you said I still owed you money. After being a customer for many years I felt it was unnecessary for you to be charging me an annual deposit like any new client. That shows your loyalty is only to the almighty dollar and not your customers. After cancelling me and while I was searching for new insurance, you were then more than happy to provide me a quote with a 'new rate' that was almost $100 more per month.
You are rip off artists and I want to get the word out. I plan on doing that via the internet by explaining just what you did in order to inflate my premium and then cancel it. And in order to renew it I would be paying 1 ½ times what I had been. THAT is no discount.
I have moved on and gotten insurance elsewhere, you are thieves, do not contact me any further. I think AARP needs to know how you do business as well.
That about says it...don't trust them..it sounds good but they jerk you around and instanteously cancel your policy when you start asking questions...I have had car insurance for 41 years and have NEVER been cancelled until now.

AARP is only an advertising front - and a poor one at that
Posted by
I have seen many complaints on the site about AARP and their less than pro-elderly tactics. More as acting as a front for other advertisers. Well, this morning I had an experience that reduced their credibility even further. Zero, in my book.
There is an ad on TV (endorsed by AARP) for supplemental Medicare health insurance. Next year my wife and I will begin getting Medicare. The logical thing to do get as much information as possible BEFORE you are faced with the commitments. Not the way the people that use the AARP tag to push their products see it.
I called the advertised number (1-800-495-9576) for the United Health Care Medicare supplement information. The girl asked several innocuous questions. One of which was my date of birth. No big deal. I am sure there are many people born on my birth date. Then asked if I was currently on Medicare. I told no, not until next year. Here is the killer: "We cannot give you this information unless you are currently on Medicare."
This was only supposed to be a request for a booklet of information. But their position was obviously to line you up with spending money by the end of the phone call.
I then called AARP. They claimed no connection with what the ad claimed. That is to supply you with information. Bear in mind the AARP logo is the largest print on the booklet you see on the TV ad. No matter. AARP is concerned only with the kickback. They are totally disinterested on whether these companies provide any service for their members.
With that I advised the AARP representative that since they provided no useful assistance, service and/or information when our membership expired it would not be renewed. Not that they care in the least. But I felt better.

Please, please, please...Do NOT choose AARP Medicare Complete Secure Horizons
Posted by
FENTON, MO -- I work in an internal medicine office with 2 physicians. This plan is an absolute nightmare. Originally, we did not accept the HMO plan. As of 01/09, we started to accept it. BIG mistake! I do coding/billing and am also the referral coordinator. Everything that the patient has to do outside of their internist's office, whether it be see a specialist or having surgery, has to be called in by your internal medicine physician. It's what is known as a "gatekeeper plan". On numerous occasions, I have a specialist office call and say, Patient X is going to have surgery tomorrow and I need it authorized. I tried to do it, but they said that the PCP has to call and get it authorized. Are you kidding me? Such a HUGE hassle. They have to call and give us the CPT and ICD-9 codes that they are using. If Secure Horizons has a question like, have they had a such and such test done, I most likely don't have that information. I have to hang up with them, call the specialist back and see, then call Secure Horizons to let them know. Stick with plain Medicare and get a secondary insurance such as Anthem or straight UHC. You will benefit so much more in the long run.
I just get so sick and tired of our elderly patients getting manipulated by the Medicare replacement plans. It all sounds great initially, but when it comes down to it, they are full of...well you get the gist.

Victim of AARP The Hartford
Posted by
PENNSYLVANIA -- Attempting to receive a less expensive Auto Insurance policy, I decided to go with what was advertised as The AARP Auto Insurance program.
What arrived was a company called The Hartford? After going through the usual questions and required information over the telephone. I sent in my 6 month advance payment.
What arrived next, was a complicated 18 plus page form to fill out and sign. Page after page of statements and complicated legalese, with my signature in more than several places.
After completing what I though was the required info. I was informed by a phone call, that I had not signed the forms. A second set was sent to me, and I went through the lengthy and complicated process all over again. This time with The Hartford's agent over the telephone...
three weeks passed when, I received a notice from the State of Pennsylvania, stating that It had been reported to them that my auto policy had been canceled. New forms and legalese from the state to sign, that I had not driven my vehicles while the policy and been canceled.
The Hartford had notified the state of the cancellation, thus causing my insurance rate to go up. Essentially the Hartford told me that some part of the form had not been signed, and there was nothing I could do about it.
They left me scrambling for a new policy, at thanks to the Hartford, now at a a higher rate too.
It cost me 265.00 to find a new auto insurance policy and pronto.
The additional auto insurance forms are going to be real trouble in the state of Pennsylvania and The Hartford is going to screw you if make some understandable mistake on these things. Like miss a signature somewhere on these lengthy and confusing things!
We do not live in a Nazi Police State where insurance companies like the Hartford have the right to report unsigned documents to the authorities and compile a dossier on you, the irrelevant discarded customer.
My advice is to refrain from using the AARP and The HARTFORD .
Pennsylvania is also going to have a huge quagmire of problems over these silly and what should be unnecessary forms.

Medicare Insurance
Posted by
GILBERT, ARIZONA -- Does AARP know the service offered by SecureHorizons/MedicareComplete is not what they claim to be? I doubt it. I changed my provider last November and have had NOTHING but problems since the very beginning. They enrolled me in the wrong plan. Insisted my primary care physician would not see me as he was not taking new patients. Made no difference to them that I was an established patient. After MANY phone calls and speaking to many different Customer Service people (who all promised) they would take care of the problem I still kept getting insurance cards with wrong PC name. It took several more calls to get the problem taken care of. I then went to a specialist this AM who is listed in my plan book, and has been my doctor for over a year, to only find out they do not take my insurance and never have. I need this physicians service as I am a recovering cancer patient. He did see me today and only charged me what my co-payment would have been. However, he will not see me again unless I get the insurance problem taken care of.
Since I cannot not change Medicare provider until next November I can only pray my cancer stays in remission until I can change insurance carriers. I have NEVER had so many problems with insurance in all my life. I would not recommend MedicareComplete/SecureHorizons to my worst enemy.

NATIONWIDE -- Either these folks are incompetent or the AARP Scsep program is a sham, intended to get more money. After 3 months of waiting (because the staff at AARP told me the program was full), I got an appt. to apply for their SCSEP training program. I noticed that only 2 other people were signed in for the entire day.
The man at the Dept. of Labor who fills out the app with each senior told me the app. was sent to the AARP as soon as he completed it and hit "send". I waited a week and called the AARP. The woman told me my application had not been received and that I should wait another week. The oddest part of it was that she never asked for my name or anything else that would identify me, so how did she know my app hadn't arrived? Did she say that because they haven't received ANY applications yet this year? not likely. It's more likely she was simply lying. Why would she lie? I can only speculate.
I called the national number for the AARP to ask them to look into it. The automated system asks if you're a member, but even when you say "no", and then connect you to a real person, that person asks for your membership #, then tries to sell you a membership. They're just salespeople at a call center who don't know anything about AARP programs. The first young woman hung up on me when I said I didn't want a membership, so I called back. That guy said he couldn't refer me to anyone who could help and that he was sorry he couldn't help. That was it.
So, I spent 3 hours (incl. one hour of waiting) trying to get in their program....all for nothing.

AARP Hartford Insurance - Ripoff
Posted by
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- As a member of AARP, I got an offer from Hartford Insurance to save more than $300 per year on car insurance. I requested a quote and as promised it was more than $300 less than my current company for the same coverage.
My current agent told me if I could get that price I should take it. So, I switched to Hartford. One year later when I got my renewal bill the price went up by more than $300. When I called Hartford for an explanation I was told that "Hartford had re-evaluated their Illinois rates". I have no tickets or accidents. Fortunately for me, I was able to go back to my old company. Now once again, Hartford is sending me offers to save $300 per year. I wonder if Hartford pays AARP for their endorsement? At least in my case any endorsements I get from AARP are suspect at best.

PORT SAINT LUCIE, FLORIDA -- Part of your monthly United Healthcare insurance payment goes to AARP directly (they don't tell you how much). I paid $130 monthly for 6 months and they hardly paid anything out.. . . still had deductibles and had to pay portion. . What they tell you in order to get you to sign up and what is reality . . .it is a scam. Better off being with an HMO or just on Medicare. I paid $46 for RX through them and had high payouts and was constantly told by RX Store that I must be in the "black out " period or something of that nature. . . it's a joke. The only ones profiting from these plans are the insurance companies. I opted out and I am trying Humana HMO plan. . ..no monthly payments and I have getting better RX than with AARP and no deductibles to primary. . . so far so good.

AARP Selling Email Address to Other Companies
Posted by
SANTA ROSA, CALIFORNIA -- AARP has allowed one of their associate companies in California to sell my private/personal email address to other companies for marketing purposes WITHOUT MY PERMISSION or INFORMING ME THAT THEY HAVE ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN.
The associate company is the AARP Driver Safety Course which deals with this course in California.
Since I signed up for this course in May 2013 I have been receiving a huge amount of SPAM advertising!! I have NEVER had this happen before with ANY company.The worst part they DO NOTHING to address the issue. I recently received a false apology letter from the Washington DC office without a name or personal contact information!
This is how much RESPECT AARP gives to their subscribers!!!
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AARP! And especially with their associate companies who offer ANT SERVICE be it Driver Safety Courses OR ANYTHING!!!

Those with knowledge of AutoCAD tend to be skilled in Project Management as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Facilities Planners with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. The average beginner in this position makes around $58K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $64K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $70K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $73K.

A set of proposals to improve one area of American society that desperately needs it: the inner city. There's no need to recite the gory statistics on incomes, unemployment, poor schools, violence, fractured families, African-American men in jail — or the challenge that folks in these core urban areas face in extracting themselves from that mess. Here then is my three-point libertarian program for urban renewal.

App reviews | The New York Times Crossword
PUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2012 00:04:56 | UPDATED: 17 Oct 2012 09:45:00PUBLISHED: 16 Oct 2012 PRINT EDITION: 16 Oct 2012Rachael Bolton
Is your phone riddled with malware?
The New York Times crossword app is fun, but lacks the tactile pleasure of holding a newspaper and pen
Norton Mobile Security Lite
Developer: Symantec
Devices: Android 2.0 and up
Cost: Free
I know at least two people who have had their phones hacked in recent weeks. It is, unfortunately, a reality of internet-connected devices that hackers can and will find a way in.
In a way, anti-virus for your phone is like insurance: it might seem expensive and excessive, but the day you leave your phone in a cab or smash it into a thousand pieces, is the day you really wish you'd just forked out the extra $8 a month.
Security is useful if you use your phone to do your banking or access important documents or send sensitive emails or store your work contacts – all pretty standard stuff these days. And this version is free, so what's your excuse?
The "Lite" app gives you malware protection and remote locking. For $29.99 you can upgrade to the full version which comes with a whole suite of other features including the ability to block unwanted calls, remotely erase data, and a "Scream" locator so you can find your phone if it's missing.

The New York Times Crossword
Developer: Magmic Inc
Devices: Various Android; Apple iOS 4.0 or later
Cost: Free (subscription fees apply)
I grew up on a staple diet of American pop culture, so naturally I assume The New York Times crossword is the pinnacle of an intelligent, thoughtful Sunday morning lie-in. The movies say so, therefore it must be true. If I was truly chic, I would lie around a sunlit loft with pristine white sheets, stylishly tousled bed head, oh-so-trendy black-rimmed glasses and an oversized cup of coffee. I would fold the paper crisply and of course, fill in all the answers in pen.
While this app does deliver the NYT crossword to your phone or tablet and is very easy to use, no technology can really replicate the tactile elements that make a Sunday-morning crossword so satisfying. It is, however, still a pleasant way to fill your commute or take a break and get your mind off work.
Subscription is free for the first week, $2.99 for a month, $9.99 for six months or $16.99 for a year. The Apple version works better than the Android and has a nicer interface.

March 29, 2011
Today the Supreme Court issued one decision, described below, of interest to the business community.
Federal Contractors—Private Rights of Action—Third-Party Beneficiaries
Astra USA, Inc. v. Santa Clara County, No. 09-1273 (previously discussed in the September 28, 2010 Docket Report).
Section 340B of the Public Health Services Act, 42 U.S.C. § 256b, requires manufacturers of Medicaid-covered outpatient drugs to enter into contracts with the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). These contracts incorporate a statutory price ceiling on drugs sold to certain healthcare providers. But neither the Public Health Service Act nor any other law gives those healthcare providers an express or implied private right of action to enforce the price cap. Today, in Astra USA, Inc. v. County of Santa Clara, No. 09-1273, the Supreme Court held that healthcare providers may not sue to enforce the price cap as third-party beneficiaries of the HHS contracts.
The decision is significant for many federal contractors. Numerous statutes impose terms on federal contracts that are presumably designed to benefit the public or third parties, usually without establishing a private statutory cause of action. Prior to this case, six circuit courts of appeals (including the court below) had indicated that non-parties might be able to enforce such contracts against private contractors on a third-party beneficiary theory. Today's decision restricts that theory of enforcement.
The case arose when Santa Clara County, California, and its county-operated medical facilities filed a putative class action against numerous major drug manufacturers, claiming that the manufacturers had charged them more than the statutory maximum price. The Ninth Circuit allowed the suit to proceed, holding that the plaintiffs, though lacking a statutory right of action, could sue as directly intended third-party beneficiaries under the federal common law of contracts.
In a unanimous opinion by Justice Ginsburg, the Supreme Court reversed. The Court noted that a non-party is entitled to the benefit of a contract only if the contracting parties so intend. But the Court found no evidence of that intent in contracts that simply incorporated statutorily required terms. Because the contracts were non-negotiable and merely recorded the manufacturers' agreement to comply with the statute, the Court viewed the manufacturers' statutory and contractual obligations as one and the same. Permitting non-parties to enforce the contracts, the Court reasoned, would render meaningless Congress's restriction on private suits to enforce the statute. (The Court reserved the question whether a contracting agency could deliberately authorize third-party suits to enforce a government contract.)
The Court also rejected arguments that third-party beneficiary suits were necessary to improve enforcement of the statute and to spread the burden of that enforcement beyond HHS. By failing to provide a private right of action, the Court observed, Congress had chosen to centralize enforcement in the government, and indeed had recently provided additional enforcement powers to HHS.
Justice Kagan did not participate in the case.

The 'Teen Mom' star insisted that she was never broken up with by her ex, Brian Dawe, before or after he ditched her on 'Couples Therapy.' Farrah said he led her on to believe therapy would help them, and then he 'neglected' her at her most vulnerable point.
Farrah Abraham explained that she never got the closure of a real breakup with her ex-boyfriend Brian Dawe, since he just "neglected" her on their scheduled Couples Therapy appearance. She spoke out to say he led her to believe they would tackle therapy together, and it was "terribly hard to deal with" being ditched so publicly.
Farrah Abraham 'Neglected' By Ex Brian Dawe: Stood Up On 'Couples Therapy'
Farrah, 22, spoke out to explain how her relationship with DJ Brian Dawe ended, and she admitted she was fooled into thinking he wanted to work on their relationship.
"Sadly, as I was approaching into Couples Therapy, my significant other chose … that he didn't want to be a part of it, and led me under a different impression," she told E! News. "So that was terribly hard to deal with. … I was led to believe hopefully he [would] show up and maybe I [could] still do therapy and those things."
"It turned into doing therapy actually on my own," she explained.
Farrah also revealed she never got answers after her split, but she's learned to accept the outcome. "I was never broken up with: I was neglected," Farrah said of her relationship's dramatic end. "I'm just happy that I'm not with that same person currently."
Farrah Abraham Continues Feud With Taylor Armstrong
When Farrah's not lamenting her lost relationships, she is picking fights with Couples Therapy cast mate, Taylor Armstrong of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame.
"I'm just very sad that a lot of the older women in the household cannot help me and instead, it's been very hurtful to feel that I can't even be close to them," Farrah said, referencing her clash with Taylor. "I think as you'll watch the season unfold, what she's saying contradicts what she does."
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Do you think Farrah is being overly dramatic?

I don't believe Farrah has Ever had A Boyfriend. Farrah got on couples therapy and said her and her daughter's father had this Christian relationship but according to Teen Mom Farrah wasn't in a good relationship with her daughters father and they Were Not together at all. His family didn't even like Farrah. Farrah is a lying B…ch and why does these shows continue to help create this Delusional liar

You Must Be Gullible
Posted at 12:34 PM on January 23, 2014
I love how HollywoodLife is ignoring the fact that her "significant other" has publicly stated they were never going out, that she approached him to sign up to do this show strictly for the money, and that when he informed the producers of "Couples Therapy" that Farrah was trying perpetrate a fraud by claiming to be in a relationship at all just to get on tv again the producers first tried to buy then bully him into going through with it. The girl is a pathological liar who believes her lies, like the one where she claims she was actually dating James Deen and he released a "private sex tape" and not that he was a porn actor hired to f@ck her on camera for her porn tape.
What's worse is that the supposed therapist on the show. By not calling her on her constant lies and acting as if they are true representations of this girls life, the therapist is validating this girl's delusions. That can't be good for Farrah in the long term, because one day all her lies will catch up with her. One day she will be held accountable for all the stupid lies she's peddling in public, and if she's not prepared to deal with her actual reality and not the one she keeps making up, the mental health consequences will be terrible.
Not that I actually care about her, she seems to be a truly horrid person who lies and keeps using the people who have the misfortune of crossing paths with her, from porn stars hired to f@ck her up the @ss on camera, to that poor child she waxes. It's truly unfortunate she had a child at all, even sadder that she used that child as a means to becoming famous. I can only imagine how she'll pimp that little girl out once she sees the potential.
VH1 should be ashamed for giving this little liar airtime on their network. HollywoodLife should be ashamed for reporting Farrah's lies as if they were true when it's been proven time and again they are not.
Posted at 12:40 AM on January 24, 2014
Well said! I get so frustrated by the fact that nobody will straight up bust her on her lies. Personally, I would like to have seen Dr. Jenn call her out on these fake relationships, & refuse to treat her unless she agreed to come clean. Now THAT would be awesome! If she won't be honest…kick her butt out! After all, therapy is useless without honesty. As many lies as she tells, how does Dr. Jenn even know what she's saying about her parents is even true? Seems like a waste of time dealing with Farrah when that spot on Couple's Therapy could have been given to someone who REALLY wanted help. Watching this season with Farrah is aggravating. ..it insults my intelligence. Does Dr. Jenn really believe we're all this stupid?

North Bay Village = Quid Pro Quo
Categories: Banana Republican
In the Fifties and Sixties, North Bay Village was a place where seedy mobsters and corrupt politicians came home to roost. At one point in its 63-year history, a law-enforcement report concluded North Bay Village, a man-made three-island city along the John F. Kennedy Causeway, had "Dade's largest concentration of undesirables."
The era cemented the village's reputation for criminal and political shenanigans that continues today with a former head of Miami-Dade's Democratic Party playing a lead role.
This past February 27, the North Bay Village City Commission, led by Mayor Oscar Alfonso, fired city attorney Robert Switkes and replaced him with Joe Geller, the former Democratic Party leader who had Alonso' job until he decided to run for a state house seat last year. Geller lost the election. Now a North Bay Village citizen is asking the Florida Commission on Ethics to investigate Geller's appointment.
In his February 28 letter to the commission, Richard Chervony alleges Geller and Alfonso have a conflict of interest since the ex-mayor helped the new mayor get elected. "The appointment of Mr. Geller would be equivalent to appointing him as a sixth-commissioner," Chervony wrote.
I have not yet spoken with Geller or Alfonso about Chervony's complaint, but as soon as I do I will post an update on what they have to say. In the meantime, check out my previous coverage of North Bay Village craziness here and here.

I think one of the missing things from tribunal is a Warning option to go with the Punish and Pardon choices. There is a gray area that is missing and makes everything black and white in Tribunal. It think this makes it easier for Riot to decide if a player deserves a warning, outright ban, or pardon. For instance a player uses a homophobic slur once or twice. Everyone will say punish that player, that player might get banned, when they real should get a warning.
When you vote Punish on a case, if its their first time being brought up the first punishment is always a warning. So what your suggesting is already inherently in the system.
I like this idea

WASHINGTON (AP) — For those Americans who remembered to fall back before bedtime, the extra hour of sleep is a bonus. Those who forgot may be finding themselves running an hour early.
It's all thanks to the annual shift back to standard time from daylight saving time in much of the county, though some areas don't observe any time change.
Residents of Hawaii, most of Arizona and some U.S. territories don't have to change since they do not observe daylight saving time.
Public safety officials say it's also a good time to put a new battery in the smoke alarm, no matter where you live.
Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time March 9.

wedding at malealea
Saturday 18 th January 2003 (Organised and planned a week before the date!)
Hollywood could not have staged it better! After three clear hot sunny days it was not surprising to awake on the 18 th January 2003 with ominous dark clouds over the mountains after horrendous winds during the night. But we all carried on with the preparations regardless, ignoring what we presumed must come. The bridal arch was set up on the front lawn (decorated with variegated ivy and pomegranate flowers) with the Thaba Putsoa Mountains as a glorious backdrop. Flowering agaves were dug into the ground in a semi circle each side of the area set aside on the vast lawn for the service and the chairs put out leaving an aisle for the bridal couple to come down to the altar table in front of the arch. As an added touch the flower girls were sent off to get birdseed to sprinkle on a raised area ostensibly to attract the peacocks for the photo shoot
At 9.30am, the priest – Rev. Father Joseph Ntlamelle who came from Mohales Hoek met with teh couple to go through the service and the marriage certificate details and asked whether they had signed an Ante Nuptial contract. Horrors, they had not given it a thought! Being out of range of any telephone someone was dispatched a way away to a high mountain where there was cell phone signal to phone an attorney in Bloemfontein to ask what they should do about it. He very kindly offered to drive to Wepener (halfway between Bloemfontein and Malealea) with an A.N.C. (he had been invited to the wedding but was unable to come) to meet them at 1.00pm. Sighs of relief and off they went, a 1 ½ hour's drive (wedding scheduled for 3.00pm)
Meanwhile preparations carry on – tables and chairs for the feast were arranged behind the ceremony chairs on the vast lawn in front of the main lounge with this amazing backdrop of mountains. Many, many candles were decorated with ivy and pinecones and put into holders, large ones being stuck into the ground. By now the menacing clouds were dispersing and a hot sun shone down (wilting the ivy and people alike). Many prayers are now offered up for the weather to hold and many fingers crossed.
During this time it was noted that some of the peacocks were missing a considerable number of their tail feathers!
Great relief was felt when the couple eventually returned with their A.N.C. at ten to three. Time is not strictly adhered to in Lesotho and although the priest had been informed that the ceremony would take place at 3.00pm originally, he was not too fazed when I told him it would be a little later and would he like a cool drink, and hesensibly asked for a cold Hansa.
Guests, choirs and people waited patiently for the great moment when at about 4.00pm I looked up to see a very proud Mick leading to the altar an absolutely stunning-looking Jacqui wearing a matt silver sparkly low backed dress with a bouffant skirt and carrying cream roses followed by the flower girls Jessica, Katie and Kerryann carrying small baskets of rose petals and bridesmaid Debbie in a slender silver gown carrying a small bouquet of roses, where stood the patiently waiting groom. The show was on.
Also in this group was the matron-of honour Agnes, or Aggie, former nanny to th eJones' children and now the Lodgekeeper, wearing a traditional brown print dress and blanket. Instead of the wedding march (which I have just remembered was purchased specially to be played before and after the ceremony), were the renderings of the various Basotho choirs which accompanied the bridal party to the ceremony and again after the ceremony to a silver balloon be-decked open safari vehicle for the next stage of this unusual wedding. The programme stated 'bridal couple and guests will tour the village and meet the people, so off they drove very slowly accompanied by a mounted escort of about 50 Basotho Horsemen dressed in red blankets on the one side and blue blankets on the other side of the vehicle. During all this the singing, shouting, and ululating was terrific with everyone in festive mood. At the finish everyone congregated down below the Lodge outside the fence and a large circle was formed with the riders on the outside, forming two circles riding in opposite direction, Mick being one of the riders in blanket and hat!
Photographed once again against the dramatic background of the mountains the riderswith their Basotho hats and blankets were a sight to behold. The bridal couple standing in the middle of the circle were approached by a group of women coming slowly towards them dressed in yellow/black blankets, dancing and singing bearing a Basotho blanket which was carefully arranged around the bride's shoulders. They were followed by yet another group of dancing and singing women bearing gifts for the couple. At this stage I must mention that a great many of the riders and participants were wearing some magnificent peacock feathers either in their hats or as nosegays! The last act with the people was a group of male Sibaca Dancers who came into the arena stamping and singing in Sibaca costume.
From here family and guests made their way back to the Lodge for a breather from all the excitement and a welcome drink while more official photographs were taken around the arch. The villagers made their way to their feast as Mick had arranged for an ox to be slaughtered and gallons of joala ba Sesuto.
As it was still light at 6:00pm everyone was able to settle down and watch the beautiful evening sky light up the mountains with pinks, golds and mauves while sipping champagne.
As the light faded seats were taken and all the candles lit in preparation for the last part of the day when Jacqui's uncle, Dave acting as M.C. called upon the father to say a few words. He made an excellent speech standing next to a glowing Bride, afterwards proposing a toast to the bride and groom. This was followed by the best man, recounting various anecdotes concerning the couple, during which time he was constantly heckled by a very vocal peacock (or peahen?) who had woken up. As he proposed the toast to the bridemaids so a magnificent full moon rose behind him on the one side of the scene while on the other a huge cumulous cloud had lightning silently flickering through the great folds behind the mountains with the candles in the foreground. Dave in introducing teh Bridegroom n said he'd heard of all the wonderful things he'd done but how he was able to produce a full moon at such a time was unimaginable. This was truly a wondrous unforgettable experience – Had Hollywood tried to contrive this combination of events it would have been considered overkill. I would add that not for a moment did anyone think about the moon being full or indeed exactly where it would rise as plans were made for the whole event fairly precipitately. If this had been planned as such it would surely have been a rained out failure. ........
A warm windless evening with a clear moonlit sky ended a momentous day.
Khotso Pula Nala.

My doctor uses a disposable plastic speculum, which I think is far preferable to a metal one. The exam beds in her office have warmers for the metal kind, because, let me tell you: a cold speculum is *no* fun! But she uses the plastic kind now, and they are much easier.
Pap smears are so wonderful anyway, so it's always nice to have a doctor who cares enough to check a patient carefully to see which size is most appropriate. Personally, I prefer a woman doctor for this procedure. They know how it feels, so they're more apt to take care to check a woman's size.

Ohio Awards Almost $1 Million to Distributed Generation Projects
The Ohio Department of Development (ODD) awarded $924,019 in grants to 26 distributed generation projects on September 11. The projects cover a wide range of technologies, including solar power systems, solar thermal systems, wind turbines, a biomass-to-energy system, a gas turbine, and a reciprocating engine, to be installed in homes and businesses. Total cost of the projects is $15.3 million; the bulk of the investment comes from private sources.
Many of the projects involve "hybrid" systems that combine two or more technologies, and several use waste heat produced by the electrical generators. For more information, see ODD's September 11 press release.

Ingrid B Seen Eating... Chicken and Waffles in B.E.D.
Categories: Scene Eating
Courtesy Ingrid B |
Ingrid B surrounded by fellow Soulcialites. |
The Jamaican-born and Barbados-raised Ingrid B is reserved when she's not working or onstage: "I'm a shy socialite." Bazin is always cooking up something new to entertain B-Side fans: "My job is a 24-hour challenge of discipline because I'm my own boss. I don't have to get up if I don't want to. I can sleep all day if I choose to, but you can't do that and still make money." The end goal is to get her own venue to house her weekly parties and to feature the national soul acts she brings to Miami via her B-Side Entertainment company.
This Sunday's upcoming Soulcial party will feature the bold-voiced Nehemie. Keep up with Ingrid B on Twitter.
Ingrid B is one of "100 Creatives" featured in Cultist, our Miami culture blog. In honor of our People Issue, which will hit newsstands and computer screens November 25, Cultist proudly presents "100 Creatives," where we feature Miami's cultural superheroes. Look for it!
Interview after the jump.
New Times: What did you eat for breakfast this morning?
Bazin: Ham and crackers.
What are your top 3 places to eat in Miami right now?
LC's Roti Shop, on 441. I go there for the potato roti.
At Moonchine, I always eat the Thai green curry chicken.
And also, chicken and waffles at B.E.D. They serve it for their brunch.
What are your favorite foods to cook?
Umm, I eat.
I will not starve. I can make myself something to eat, but I would not call it cooking. That would be a stretch.

Tell us about a really memorable meal you had recently.
Five of my poet friends from Miami and I traveled to D.C. this summer. We ate at Eatonville, which is a Zora Neale Hurston-themed restaurant in D.C. It's right across from Busboys and Poets [named for poet Langston Hughes], and it's owned by the same people. The food is very good, and the space is full of murals and art dedicated to Zora Neale Hurston. [Hurston grew up in Eatonville, Florida, and the menu is inspired by her Southern roots.]

Suspect, Mother Killed In Home Invasion Robbery - News Story - KTVU San Francisco
I checked if this was posted anywhere but it was not.
The mom was shot while she was lowering her kids to the SWAT van. she eventually died and was pronounced dead in the hospital.
my question is with the mother and kids barricaded why not stick a ladder up to a window and flood the area with officers to prevent this guy from entering and return fire from the barricade room against the perp. or, why not give the mom some body armor to offer some protection? It would seem that the officers know that the victims were barricaded and they had enough time to sorround the house/call the swat team/establish a perimeter. why not assist the victims more directly?
I am not criticizing the SWAT officers but I am curious that there seems to be time for some direct action to extracate the victims or at least offer some ballistic protection but was not done earlier.
can anyone shed some light in this tactical situation?

In the McG-directed This Means War two of the world's deadliest CIA operatives (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) are inseparable partners and best friends – until they discover that they've fallen in love with the same woman (Reese Witherspoon).
Presenter Grant Lauchlan was joined in the Moviejuice studios for this week's reviews by film critics Janice Forsyth and Graeme Virtue.
Grant immediately turned to Janice and said: "Do you think it's fair to admit that I fell asleep during this film?"
Janice replied: "I think you were really lucky that you fell asleep! I was actually conscious for all of it and wish I hadn't been – it's a very confusing film.
"It starts with these two buddies – it's almost as if it's a sequel to a movie. You're supposed to care about them. There's supposed to be this incredible dynamic between them.
"It's a film that's incredibly cynically made. I don't know who it's going to appeal to, I can't believe in either of them being buddies, I don't believe in them falling in love with the gal. None of it works for me – terrible title, terrible everything."
Did Graeme like it at all? He replied: "I quite like these types of films, True Lies or Mr & Mrs Smith, where the joke is supposed to be super-good spies team up against the drudgery of the every day.
"But there was never any every day in this film; their flats were absolutely outrageous in this film. Tom Hardy had two motorbikes parked in his apartment, and Chris Pine had a swimming pool above him.
"It had no relation to real life."
So what did they give the movie out of five? Tune into Moviejuicetonight at 8pm to find out – and we'll also have extended reviews online after the show.

23 Festive Ideas for Thanksgiving Decorations
Set an unexpectedly fresh fall scene with cool crafts and fetching finds that bring a welcome twist to your Thanksgiving traditions.
Pinecone Door Hanging
Not all DIY front-door decor requires a foam wreath form. To make this elegant cluster, we selected 8 four- to six-inch pinecones and 8 two-foot-long pieces of silk ribbon. Use a hot-glue gun to adhere the last two inches of each ribbon to the base of a cone. After the glue dries, collect all the ribbon ends and stagger them so that the cones fall at varying lengths. Tie the ribbon ends together in a knot, trim the tips so they are uniform, and slip the knot over a finishing nail.

Amber Rose Bracelet
By: Kathy Meier for Amaco
With colors of "Aztec Gold" and "Summer Russet," the homemade beads in this DIY bracelet from AMACO really shine. Making clay jewelry is easier than you might think. For a demonstration on how to use bead rollers, check out this video.
- AMACO Craft Porcelain
- AMACO Needle Tool
- AMACO Professional Bead Baking Rack
- AMACO Tri-Bead Roller
- Ruler
- Gum Arabic
- USA Artquest, Inc. Pearl Ex Pigments — 661 Antique Copper, 654 Super Russet, 658 Aztec Gold
- Water
- Small Disposable Palettes (clean discarded jar or bottle lids work well)
- Craft Sticks or other Device for Mixing
- Applicators Such as Cotton-Tipped Applicators or
- Tsukineko Sponge Daubers
- 4 Focal Beads (FB) in Complimentary Colors (shown are approximately 12 mm Vintage Beads, 'Puff Coin' Shape)
- 18 — 4 mm Silver Heishi Spacer Beads
- 12" — 49 Strand Bead Stringing Wire From Beadalon®
- 2 Crimp Beads
- Bead Crimping Tool
- Wire Flush Cutters
- 13 mm Lobster-Style Clasp
Follow instructions provided with AMACO Tri-Bead Roller to measure clay size needed for each bead shape.
Roll measured clay sections in Tri-Bead Roller to form seven round beads and 6 bicone beads. Pierce each bead with AMACO® Needle Tool to create hole for stringing and string onto Bead Baking Rack pins for painting.
Working in small quantities as it dries fast, mix a small amount of gum arabic (approx. 1 teaspoon) and a little water in disposable palette. Stir in approximately 1 teaspoon Antique Copper pigment. Using applicator, sponge or dab on to each individual bead, spinning them around the wire/pin as you work to reach all sides. Don't attempt to color it solid, you just want scattered patches of color here and there. Measurements are imprecise, experiment!
Repeat step 3 with the other two colors. If your color is too uniform you can go back and sponge on more of the other colors. By the third color, you want the entire bead covered with color. Pay attention to the areas by the holes too. Set aside to dry.
String a crimp bead 1/2" from end of a 12" length of beading wire; place wire end through loop on round bracelet clasp and back through crimp bead. Use crimping pliers to flatten crimp bead approximately 1/16" from loop, securing the bracelet clasp to wire.
String beads onto beading wire for this section of necklace in the following order separating each bead with a heishi spacer: 1 Heishi spacer, 2 rounds, 1 FB, 3 bicones, 1 FB, 3 rounds, 1 FB, 2 bicones, 1 FB, and 2 rounds. End with a heishi spacer and a crimp bead.
- Insert wire end back through crimp bead leaving a large enough loop to accept lobster claw, approximately 4 mm. Pull excess wire until crimp bead is desired length from end and flatten crimp bead with crimping tool. Trim excess wire with wire cutters.

@ Crafter 6577979: Thanks for catching this mistake! We have updated the project, and the gum arabic is now listed as a separate material. Thanks! -- FaveCrafts Editor
Just an FYI, After reading the instructions I realized that Gum Arabic is a separate item than the PearlEX pigments. I like that this is an air dry project, because I don't have a toaster oven or a kiln and my regular oven I don't think is real trustworthy for the lower temperatures some of the modeling compounds require. I think this project would also be great if you used regular pigments and then sponged on the pearl.
Would be fun if happened to have all these supplies for beads. Whatever happened to rolling beads made from home made clay and just painting them with paint? Sorry, but this is not a cheap project to do with my after school program.
