New Insulin Pump Wear
An Insulin pump is an excellent way to control diabetes. It is an electronic device, about the size of a cell phone, which continually infuses insulin into your body. The continuous infusion reduces the glucose peaks and valleys that comes with insulin injected only three of four times a day.
Where to carry the pump is a minor annoyance. You can't put it in your purse, or your jacket pocket, because you can't carry your purse with you, the whole day.
We now carry a complete line of pump cases, packs, and bags, to help you carry your insulin pump in style.
Be sure to check out our Insulin Pump Supply section. The use of insulin pumps is steadily increasing, as doctors and patients begin to see how easy they are to use, and how much better blood sugar control can be attained with a pump. Even children are using insulin pumps!
If you are using an insulin pump, you may be able to save a lot of money by shopping for pump tubing. Most tubing sets are interchangeable. Animas can use the Accu-Chek tubing. . . Deltec-Cozmo can use the Animas tubing. The only tubing that is not interchangeable is the MiniMed Paradigm. So, check out our insulin pump supplies to see if you can save some money!

Dec 24, 2013 7:45 AM by Associated Press
BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP) - Large crowds have begun to gather in the biblical town of Bethlehem for Christmas Eve celebrations.
Hundreds of tourists packed the town's Manger Square to enjoy the cool, sunny weather ahead of celebrations on Tuesday evening. The nearby Church of the Nativity sits on the spot where tradition says Jesus was born.
The number of visitors remains below the levels of the late 1990s, when Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts were at their height. Following the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising in 2000, the numbers plunged.
But thanks to a period of relative calm, they have been steadily climbing in recent years - and are expected to get an extra push this year thanks to the resumption of peace talks.
Palestinian Tourism Minister Rula Maayah says the Palestinians "deserve to have peace."

Gov. Nixon announced the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District received a $23,000,000 low interest loan for construction of wastewater system improvements
For more information: 573-751-1010
Volume 37-419 For Immediate Release: Nov. 6, 2009
JEFFERSON CITY, MO. - Gov. Jay Nixon announced the Missouri Department of Natural Resources has awarded the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District with a $23,000,000 low interest loan. During tough economic times, this infusion of loan funding will help the district protect its system users and the environment by making necessary wastewater system improvements. The loan funds will be used for three different construction projects. The Lemay Wastewater Treatment Plant will be improved to provide additional treatment capacity for wet weather flows. The Creve Coeur Creek project consists of rehabilitation of the existing 20 year old pump station. System-wide investigations will be performed to identify inflow and infiltration sources for the third project.
The department's Water Protection Program will administer the grant funds. The Department is committed to working closely with communities to assist with funding efforts that support water and wastewater infrastructure improvement projects as well as provide a financial savings.
For more information, contact the Water Protection Program, Financial Assistance Center, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, MO 65102-0176 or 800-361-4827 or 573-751-1192.

Poll shows strong U.S. support for Canadian oil supply
For Immediate Release Calgary, Alberta – (April 12, 2011) – Most Americans strongly value Canada's role as a secure, stable, and friendly supplier of oil to meet the needs of American families and businesses.
Their already strong support for this relationship becomes stronger still when they learn about the jobs Canadian oil creates in America. These are among the highlights of a poll conducted by Harris Interactive for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) and the American Petroleum Institute (API).
"Americans naturally want to reduce dependency on imported oil, but to the extent that the U.S. continues to rely on supply from other countries, Canada is very well regarded," said Dave Collyer, president of CAPP. "Among Americans, Canada is seen as a friend and ally, with positive environmental values and a commitment to democracy, social justice and human rights. Production growth from oil sands will strengthen the energy relationship between Canada and the U.S., benefitting the economies of both countries."
"As the policymakers debate important questions about our energy security, Americans polled overwhelmingly want the administration to support greater use of Canada's abundant resources, " said Jack Gerard, API president and CEO.
Key findings of the poll:
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) represents companies, large and small, that explore for, develop and produce natural gas and crude oil throughout Canada. CAPP's member companies produce more than 90 per cent of Canada's natural gas and crude oil. CAPP's associate members provide a wide range of services that support the upstream crude oil and natural gas industry. Together CAPP's members and associate members are an important part of a national industry with revenues of about $100 billion-a-year. API represents more than 470 oil and natural gas companies, leaders of a technology-driven industry that supplies most of America's energy, supports more than 9.2 million U.S. jobs and 7.5 percent of the U.S. economy, and, since 2000, has invested nearly $2 trillion in U.S. capital projects to advance all forms of energy, including alternatives.
The full Harris poll and background on Canadian oil sands is available at www.api.org or www.capp.ca/oilsands.
(The telephone survey of 1010 Americans was conducted between March 30 and April 3, 2011 and has a margin of error of +/-3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.)

Irene Gari Cover Your Gray Professional Root Touchup
Product Review
Irene Gari Cover Your Gray Professional Root Touchup narrowly beat the competition in this extensive category, the only one for which our award is based solely on consumer testing. Panelists found Irene Gari covered gray the best and loved how well the shades matched their color. "It blended with my natural color beautifully and was very easy to apply," reported one. Our researchers noticed that it was especially popular with curly-haired testers; the lipstick-like stick was easy to maneuver and didn't get tangled in their hair. The caveat: Irene Gari comes only in medium brown, dark brown, and black shades.

The Truth About Mental Illness
"Mental illness." For many people, hearing those words as part of a diagnosis, causes embarrassment feelings of shame, and perceived weakness. It doesn't have to be that way. Mental health issues can affect anyone at any time.
"I feel there is a connection between your physical and mental health," said Dr. Linda Jasperse, a psychiatrist with SVMC Psychiatry. "People need to understand that getting treatment for anxiety, depression, or feelings of grief is really just like getting treatment for a physical illness. There doesn't have to be and shouldn't be a stigma or any sense of embarrassment about getting help for mental health conditions."
It's also important to realize that helpful treatments do exist. "You don't have to suffer alone with any type of mental illness," added Dr. Jasperse. "Your health care provider will treat your mental health symptoms just the same as your physical symptoms. They'll assess how you're feeling, diagnose what the problem is, and recommend treatment to help you feel better.
"Oftentimes, people feel like they'll just be given a prescription and sent on their way," she continued. "Medication may be a part of your treatment, but your health care provider may also recommend that you talk with someone who specializes in mental health. Exploring your emotions, including the difficult ones, can help you feel better and also allows you to learn more about yourself. It can also be a great way of discovering more about your personal goals and values.
"If something is bothering you mentally, it will probably affect you physically at some point and vice versa," stated Dr. Jasperse. "To me, it just makes sense to treat both types of symptoms."
Dr. Jasperse provides psychiatric assessments for patients referred by their primary care providers and consultations for hospitalized patients with psychiatric needs. A primary care provider can reach Dr. Jasperse at SVMC Psychiatry by calling (802) 442-8165.

See the Trailer and Pilot for "Zombieland," the Series
By Perry Michael Simon on April 17, 2013
Zombieland, the TV series on Amazon Instant Video? There's the new trailer right up there. You can also watch the pilot episode for free. Free is good. Click here for that.
Are you looking forward to this, or did you want to keep your memories of the movie pristine? Whaddya think?
Aw, that's so sad. What a waste of an amazing IP
Not the same cast, also looks like they've butchered it.
I'll check out the pilot but part of me thinks they should have just let this go and maybe do a sequel or something. Replacing Woody is damn near impossible.
When I try to watch the Pilot it just plays a 10 second "coming soon" video.
I don't think it's out yet
As much as I liked the film, turning Zombieland into a series just seems a little too bandwagon-y to me. And that never ends well. I'll watch the pilot (when it becomes available because I am getting the same "coming soon" notice as mentioned above) but I'm not expecting much.
Yeah I don't this is out, it's just keep the same looping 12 second video saying coming soon?
I say the same thing for this I said for the TV series the made from The Transporter: =meh= Pass.
Looks pretty great to me, given that the idea started out as a series and that the parts have been written for at least one or two of those specific actors (the Harrelson and Eisenberg roles, I believe). I'll definitely be checking it out.
fucking bollocks !!!
<3 the film
loath this watered down for network television
c'mon SONY PICTURES – you had a theatrical hit – would it have hurt you to cough up the fucking lucre and get a reasonable sequel done with the writers / director ?smells like
smells like
smells like shiiit!! -
Yeah, as much as I like zombies, I think I'll pass. The movie was great, in part because it was dark comedy in a disturbing time, mixed with some slapstick jokiness. This feels like a cartoon.
Also, the four original actors made that movie. If they are not in it, I predict a failure.
[…] talked here about the Zombieland TV series, and you're probably aware that it's one of several […]
And yet once again, can't watch in Canada – when did we become second class citizens?

Good deal

Nike 3-pack Belts
You get what you pay for in the Nike 3-pack. I have a Puma web belt that is a true web belt - heavy, sturdy and should be long lasting (although the buckle did break within the first year). I only mention the Puma belt because the belts in the Nike 3-pack are very light weight and not really "web" belts. They are a rather cheap imitation, but I only paid $16.95 for them (compared to the $21.95 I paid for the Puma), so I can't really complain.

Nice Belts
Pretty nice belts for a decent price. Definitely like being able to change colors too.

Wind could blow into court
Published on -7/28/2008, 8:51 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By KALEY LYON
Monday's Ellis County Commission vote to grant a conditional-use permit application for a wind project southwest of Hays was a step forward for Iberdrola's 200-megawatt project.
Individuals on both sides of the issue, however, expect that final resolution of this debate could be issued in district court.
"I sincerely appreciate the vote of support this morning," said Krista Gordon, Hays Wind project manager. "From here, if an appeal is filed, we'll have to respond accordingly.
"I'm hopeful that we'll be able to continue without too many road blocks."
Not everyone, however, is pleased with the commissioners' decision.
Tim Davis, co-chairman of the Ellis County Environmental Awareness Coalition, a group opposed to the wind farm, said plans to file an appeal in district court have been under way.
"There's a lot of inconsistencies and errors in the application and in the process," Davis said. "Everybody expected to lose this round, with them pulling back the boundaries and etc., but this has been kind of the plan of action for a long time."
The first time around, a successful protest period stayed the process. Only one vote of opposition from county commissioner Perry Henman was enough to deny the permit.
The new application, however, pulled back the project boundaries so the 1,000-foot radius of eligible protest area was reduced, and no valid protest was submitted.
Thus, the conditional-use permit was granted Monday morning by a majority vote of the Ellis County commission.
Opponents now have a 30-day period to file a lawsuit and are planning to do so, Davis said.
Gordon said the project, which will consist of 100 turbines, each standing nearly 400 feet tall, will continue to progress.
Before construction can commence, however, the company has other housekeeping details to attend to, such as selling the potential 200-megawatts of energy production to an off-take company.
Provided there are no lawsuits filed, and things progress smoothly, Gordon said it would be possible for construction to commence in about a year.
A final engineering study and negotiation of a road agreement with Ellis County Public Works also will be on the to-do list.
The company also will need to go through the permit process with the city of Hays, as eight turbines tentatively have been located within the 3-mile radius under city jurisdiction, she said.
An application requesting such a permit has not yet been filed, and the Hays Area Planning Commission is working to establish zoning regulations pertaining to wind energy.
Plans for this wind farm location began in summer 2003. Iberdrola took over the project in May 2007. The permit process officially began in spring of 2007, with the Ellis County Joint Planning Commission hearing the original application in March.
A new application was filed last month, with the joint planning commission conducting a public hearing June 25.
That means the total permit process took almost a year and a half, which is unusual in the industry, Gordon said.
"It's very rare for a permit process to take this long," she said. "It's unusual."

Hi all,
I have a 2003 TDCI 2.0 automatic. What grade of fuel is best for this model ? I am using regular grade but wonder if there are advantages in using the higher priced grade. I also often drive in France and Spain and wonder what is best in those countries. Any suggestions welcome.

Manufactured by Intrinsyc, the Mobile Development Platform Tablet (MDP/T) is meant to offer app and game developers early access to the processor that will power most high-end Android smartphones and tablets coming in the second part of the year. The tablet runs Android 4.4 (KitKat).
The 10-inch tablet is packed to the gills with features, notes a report by Android Authority, including dual front 3D infrared cameras that can recognize gestures and a 13MP rear camera capable of recording 4K content. There are a whopping seven microphones on the device, which can be used for surround sound recording and recognizing input from an ultrasound emitting stylus.
Also, Qualcomm's Fluence Pro technology lets users write on any surface using a special stylus, and the movement of the tip of the stylus is accurately transmitted to the tablet in real time. The Snapdragon 805 development tablet also comes with a fingerprint scanner, hardware-based HEVC (H.265) video decoding, dual-band two stream Wi-Fi, and 7.1 channel playback speakers.
You should expect to start seeing tablets that incorporate at least some of these features later this summer.

The Importance of Family Dinner
by Toby Amidor in Food News, January 6, 2012
In my years of practice, I found that many families don't eat dinner together – or any meal for that matter. A recent study released by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University revealed what a big difference family meals make in your children's lives.
About the Study
Family mealtime has drastically decreased since the 1950's. Although you may not initially see the connection, family meals play a huge role in your kids' lives. Yes, it's important to eat together in order to sit down and catch up on the day, but there's more to it. The study called The Importance of Family Dinners VI dug deep to see if there was a connection between the frequency of family meals and teen substance abuse. It also explored what teens thought about the concept of family dinners. The results will shock you.
Compared to teens who eat family dinners 5 to 7 days per week, those who only eat family dinners fewer than 3 per week are:
- Nearly twice as likely to use alcohol
- Twice as likely to use tobacco
- One and a half times more likely to use marijuana
Even scarier is that these teens say they can get their hands on marijuana or prescription drugs in an hour or less!
The study reveals that it's not the food that's served during dinner but rather the conversation. Three in four teens reported that they talk about what's going on in their lives during dinner. The teens interviewed agreed that when they talk to their parents about their daily events, they're less likely to smoke, drink and use marijuana.
Family Ties
Dinner is a family ritual that kids look forward to. It gives parents the opportunity to model good behavior and encourage their kids in their daily tasks. It also helps create strong bonds within in the family. Teens that frequently eat family dinners are almost three times as likely to say they have an excellent relationship with their mom and three times likelier to say they have an excellent relationship with their dad. One study also found that teen girls who eat family meals regularly had better body images.
Family Day
In 2001 CASA (The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse) created Family Day—A Day to Eat Dinner with Your Children. It's celebrated on the fourth Monday in September and serves as a reminder to the importance of family dinners.
Conversation Starters
Lost for words at dinner? Here are a few suggested ice breakers.
- Name one high point and one low point in your day.
- What's one nice thing you did for someone else today?
- What's the first thing you thought about this morning?
- What's one thing you're looking forward to tomorrow?
- Name 5 healthy things you ate this week.
- What is one thing you've done this week to protect the environment?
- Which was your favorite family dinner this week?
- Say one nice thing about the person sitting to your left.

A question everyone asks themselves when faced with another 'classic compilation' is "Why should anyone buy a collection of games that were released on vastly inferior systems with dated graphics and simple gameplay when we have multimillion-dollar franchises and Hollywood actors featuring in open-ended games of intricate story-lines and complex characters?"

If you are lucky enough to be in a relationship, Valentine's Day is one of those days when you just have to avoid spending time gaming. This means missing your daily fix while you spend quality time with your special lady, well not anymore.
That's right people; your eyes are not deceiving you, for I have come up with a list of games that you can play on Valentine's Day without being told off by your girlfriend. (Lady Gamers, if you are lucky and your boyfriend enjoys gaming, then if you treat him to a few hours of team deathmatch on Valentine's Day, I guarantee he will be very grateful).
Originality debates have been thrown around back and fourth all the time. We need to face it. We are in a day and age where being original in games is either unusual, or a hit or miss affair. Being original is a very risky task, and anyone that attempts it is usually met with failure, despite praises to the contrary. We enjoy more of the same no matter how many times we demand originality: we always go back to more of the same.
Every new generation brings enhanced graphics, processing speeds, and new features that promise to wow and astound gamers all over. They bring cleaner landscapes and brighter backgrounds. New characters as well as some older ones now grace screens looking better than before. Blood flows more realistically and castle caverns appear to be even shoddier and broken down than previously. The passing of time gives way to new improvements that reflect our progressive society. Moving ahead, year after year, are graphics the only things improving? Read more… »

Innovation in games is rare nowadays, the gaming industry has reached a point where new and exciting ways to play video games are becoming harder and harder to find. But every now and again, a shiny pearl of a game emerges from the sea of repetitiveness that is gaming. Some developers like to take that first step into the scary territory we call innovation.
These are the top 5 innovative games of 2008.
Recently some people have been complaining. They say that Resident Evil 5 has lost the survival horror aspect of the series. Other people also didn't think Dead Space was a true survival horror game, because it was too easy. As for Silent Hill homecoming? You guessed it. Even more people complaining that the franchise no longer feels like a true survival horror. Yes, the survival horror genre is a tough cookie to crack, especially when games designers are trying to come up with fresh concepts for a sequel. So I've cleverly stolen other peoples ideas and put them into one helpful list that should enable any games designer to make a perfect survival horror game.
Sometimes in life you will find that you have seen or experienced something amazing, and nobody was there to share it. If you've ever seen a shooting star whilst walking alone, or watched a bird of prey swoop down and snatch a mouse before winging away, you will know how it feels. You find yourself wanting to shout "hey! Look at this!" but nobody hears you. You are left standing alone and in awe. These things happen in games too, but now that multi-player is bringing everyone together you never need be alone again. "Did anybody just see that!" you will ask, "yep" will come the reply.

2008 was an amazing year for the shooter genre in the gaming industry. With the release of Gears of War 2, Call of Duty: World at War, and many others, there is no doubt in my mind that 2008 was a great year.

text: | Marshalltown at Ankeny -- What To Watch ForAugust 17, 2012 - Andy HeintzThe high school football season begins for several teams around the state and a handful of teams in our coverage area. One of the featured games this weekend for our area is a Class 4A battle between Marshalltown and Ankeny. The Hawks went 11-2 last year, advancing all the way to the state semifinals where they lost to eventual champion West Des Moines Valley. Here are five things to watch for tonight as the Bobcats try to score an upset over Class 4A No. 3 Ankeny. 1. How will Marshalltown attack Ankeny's defense? Bobcat head coach David Holdiman said the Marshalltown offense is the same every year but how it attacks teams varies based on what they see on the field. Ankeny lost eight of its nine top tacklers from last season so it will be interesting to see how Holdiman attacks players he is pretty unfamiliar with. 2. On the flip side, Ankeny's offense is known for a power running attack out the Wing T set. Marshalltown returns several starters in the front seven but is very inexperienced at the back end of its defense. Does that mean Iowa State-bound Joel Lanning will get a chance to show off his arm or will long-time Ankeny coach Jerry Pezzetti continue a long-running tradition of the ground and pound? 3. If you are a fan of offense, you will like this game. Both teams have large question marks on defense so we may see a game in the 30s or 40s tonight. The key to the game may be which defense establishes themselves and can get a few stops here and there. 4. I am going to be watching Blake Gimbel and Lanning. For one, I have not seen either play in person. Two, they are two of the best quarterbacks in the state. And three, Lanning recently accepted a scholarship to play at Iowa State. Gimbel has his sights set on a Division I offer. Will he make it a point to out-play his counterpart knowing he is every bit as good as Lanning? 5. I am going to be focusing a lot of Marshalltown's defense. The offense always seems to be great under Holidman, but when the Bobcats have been really good they have had a strong defense. If the defense can hold their own against an always-tough Ankeny team, then the Bobcats may be in for another special season on the gridiron. Kickoff from Ankeny is set for 7 p.m. For live updates, follow me on Twitter @THydeTR. Article CommentsNo comments posted for this article. Post a Comment | |

(BaseballStL) -- In the 'what was he thinking' department, you will find a play involving Yadier Molina in the 2-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
Molina, mostly known for his tremendous bat and pitching staff management, singled with one out in the eighth inning and his team down by a run. The 5-foot-11, 220-pound catcher then stole second base with Jon Jay at the plate and two outs in the inning.
Jay eventually walked to bring Pete Kozma to the plate with runners on first and second and two outs. Molina, who was three-for-three in the stolen base department this season, got greedy and tried to steal third base off Carlos Marmol.
Marmol read it the whole time and threw to third base where Luis Valbuena simply tagged Molina for the final out of the inning. The Cardinals were left still down by one run heading into the ninth inning -- a run they would never get off Kevin Gregg and the Cubs.
That wasn't the only dagger to strike the Cardinals down in the 2-1 loss on Tuesday. The team left nine runners on base and went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.

Build Log
HJK Monster 1.1 build thread.
FINALLY...the Monster 1.1 has arrived...just made it before we are due to leave for the States to visit the kids and hit Vic's Speed event in NC
First let me say to those of you who do know know...this is my second Monster from HJK and this one is the newest production. My first Monster met an early death at the hands of a failed Turnigy 5S "Z connector" at about 271amps 4kw of power Please read the thread on that one and don't make my mistake: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1668258 Moving on...The box arrived undamaged which is always a relief when something comes from that far...Germany The packaging is as I expected from HJK... ugly but "effective" in that both planes have come with no damage to either one. Pulled everything out of the box and started to look it over...WOW...this one is different. First Impressions - The fit and finish were greatly improved over the first Monster. The spread tow is beautiful and as much as I didn't want another black plane there is no way I am painting it! The Fuz of this model is straight which was one of the first things I looked at because the original Monster was not and required a TON of trim to fly straight...happy about that! The tail is much smaller which is great as well...first Monster was tail heavy and required the battery to rest behind the motor which caused all kinds of cooling problems...looks like that is solved! The fin, the stab, and the fuz are all seperate and can be assembled in steps assuring that the incidences stay at zero...more time to build...more difficult to build but, I think this is better Included in this one is a motor mount plate, carbon control horns, and screws to hold the wing down...not included with the original. Ailerons are smaller than the first one and I will save my review of that when flying time comes. The hinge line on the ailerons looks good on this plane...the first Monster had cuts that were to deep making the hinge line to thin and I had to re-enforce it with 3M5200 (four weeks of waiting for the 5200 to cure, one hinge at a time)...won't need to do that with this one. Couple of things I don't like in this one verses the first...(just nit picin a little) I really liked the 4 bolt system to secure the wing on the first one this one has only two bolts and where they are secured to the Fuz takes up room in that battery area under the wing and I can see them getting in the way...the original system I feel was stronger and I am just a little worried should one of my wing tips catch a gopher or badger hole that the Fuz might be damaged...the area is re-enforced BUT I might just add some glass or carbon. The nose at the motor mount plate is 60mm...WOW, what a snozz! Hope I can find a suitable Turbo spinner that is that large. Then again there might be an outrunner on the front of that thing before all is said and done! I will be bringing the airframe to Vic's event in NC for any of you who will be there to check out...there is no way I can get it in the air by then but at least some of you on the East Coast will be able to see it.

PODS® of Lexington offers a crash course in college moving for students
All Day
Tucson, AZ
PODS of Lexington understands that for students heading off to college it is meant to be a thrilling and life-changing experience. From generations before, students heading off to college are tasked with packing up their belongings and moving into their new home for the next four years.
For over a decade, PODS of Lexington has helped thousands move without the stress of doing the driving.The moving and storage leader is offering college students entering the fall semester tips to ensure a smooth, less stressful move before they make their way into their new college residence.
"The move away from home to college transition is an exciting and emotional time for parents and students" said Ken Kocon, general manager of PODS of Lexington. "PODS is here to help undergrads have a relaxing moving experience into their new living space by offering dependable moving and storage options."
Before students make the big move, PODS of Lexington offers simplified moving tips to help make their move safer, greener and much more efficient:
10 College Moving Tips for Students
1. Check out the college or apartment complex website for moving information and resources ahead of time. Use a checklist of suggested items to bring and keep the packing process focused and streamlined.
2. Begin packing belongings a couple of weeks ahead of time to keep last minute stress to a minimum. Instead of cramming everything into a car with only room for the driver, rent a PODS container one week prior to the moving date and let PODS deliver everything to the new destination. This provides a relaxed schedule for both parents and students.
3. Have a friend, roommate or fellow student moving to the same school? With enough room to spare, share the cost of a PODS container with your friend.
4. If you will be sharing a dorm room with one or more fellow students, contact them ahead of time. Discuss personal styles and work together on making the dorm room a "home away from home." Discuss larger items such as microwaves and TVs to avoid duplicates to maximize space.
5. Upon arrival to the new living destination, give the folks at PODS a call for a scheduled delivery of your PODS container. Unpacking is easy thanks to ground-floor accessibility.
6. Be realistic and don't over-pack. Find out the dimensions of the room(s) that will be occupied. Consolidate and don't bring items that won't be needed.
7. Important rule of thumb for packing boxes: pack heavy items such as books in small boxes and lighter items such as towels and linens in larger boxes. Be sure to label each of your boxes on all sides.
8. Make sure items are safely protected during the move. Items most likely used for packaging include: bubble wrap, packing tape, and plastic stretch wrap, cushion foam, wadded up newspapers and old blankets and towels.
9. Think ahead and buy green. Purchase green items such as natural material furniture and organic sheets to reduce your carbon footprint. Donate your used items to local nonprofits.
10. Ask family and friends in advance for help transporting belongings in and out of PODS containers. If no help is available, a local PODS representative will have a list of reliable labor service providers available for an affordable cost.
About PODS Lexington

Owners, David and Ken Kocon, have over 35 years of combined business experience. PODS of Lexington is a leading corporate citizen and the Kocons support their local community with donations of PODS containers to charitable organizations and community events throughout the year.

ALBANY, NY — Mike Hoeffel sent the puck high off the defensive zone glass and Chris McKelvie used his speed, scoring a breakaway goal at 6:25 of the third period. The goal propelled the Albany Devils to a 6-4 victory against the division-leading Springfield Falcons Wednesday at Times Union Center.
"I kind of cut across and I saw five hole," McKelvie said. "Originally I thought it went through, but then I didn't see it in. Then I saw the ref pointing and realized it did somehow go in, so I think it might have trickled through five hole and kicked off his back skate or something."
McKelvie registered the infamous "Gordie Howe" hat trick: a goal, an assist and a fight. He was named the game's First Star.
Raman Hrabarenka, who had an assist, joined Rod Pelley, Stefan Matteu, Artem Demkov and Mike Sislo as Albany's goal scorers. Hoeffel and Joe Whitney both posted a pair of helpers. Albany has scored five or more goals in three of their last four games.
"We knew it was going to be a challenge," said Head Coach Rick Kowalsky. "We knew we were going to have to get contributions from different guys and our big guys would have to be good."
"I thought Hoeffel had a solid game and I thought McKelvie was just rock-solid. I played him every position but defense and goal tonight. The more I played him, the better he got. That's what you need in situations like this when your depth is tested and I thought we rose to the challenge against a tough opponent."
Springfield's Ryan Craig netted a pair of goals and Michael Chaput and Jean-Francois Jacques also scored.
Between the pipes, Keith Kinkaid made 30 saves for his eighth win. At the other end, Jeremy Smith turned aside 31 tries.
The Devils fought back from two deficits during the game. After falling behind 1-0 5:54 into the contest, Albany surged for three straight goals. Hrabarenka scored at 12:10 and Pelley followed at 12:24.
In the second period, Matteau made the score 3-1 at 8:14, but Springfield, backed by goals from Jacques (9:51), Craig (11:51) and Chaput (19:15), regained the lead, 4-3.
After the intermission, Demkov, who signed a player tryout agreement before the game, netted his first career AHL goal, tying the game one minute into the period.
McKelvie's winner setup Sislo's empty-net goal at 19:37.
"I'm glad the team won, that's a really good hockey team we played," McKelvie said. "I don't know if you could tell in the second period; they kind of started taking it to us a little bit, but we responded to it well in the third. That's a good team win."
The Devils travel to face the Binghamton Senators Saturday at 7:05 pm. Fans can watch the game online or on mobile devices at ahllive.com.

Internal Oversight Service
UNESCO's Internal Oversight Service (IOS) consists of three branches:
IOS reports directly to the Director-General of UNESCO and provides independent and objective assurance as well as advisory services designed to add value and improve UNESCO's operations. The office has the authority to initiate, carry out and report on any action it considers necessary to fulfill its responsibilities with regard to its oversight functions. Its functional independence and operational effectiveness are supported by the Oversight Advisory Committee comprised of external experts in audit, evaluation and risk management.
Since its establishment in 2001, IOS has evolved by increasing its focus on providing information and recommendations relevant to attaining strategic and organizational objectives and by improving governance, risk management and internal control as derived from its charter.
The oversight strategy of 2008-2013 focuses on enhancing accountability and transparency for the effective and efficient achievement of programme results. IOS is also assisting in building organizational capacity, through its involvement in the corporate Risk Management process to identify, asses and mitigate the risks that might prevent UNESCO from achieving its objectives.

CJR's "Launch Pad" feature invites new media publishers to blog about their experiences on the news frontier. Past columns by Michael Andersen, founder of Portland Afoot and Barry Johnson, who is at work on an arts journalism project, can be found here.
Michael Andersen: Hi, Barry. This week we're talking about the part of news entrepreneurship that has always scared me most: sales. Not just selling ads for money, but selling the concept to partners and other funders and (in both your case, with an e-mail product, and my case, with print) selling distributors on the benefits of getting our content out there.
In short, the Ask.
We had a great conversation a few months ago about your salesman dad, which I'm afraid only increased my conviction that I wasn't born for this work. What do you take away from your dad's skills?
Barry Johnson: My dad loved to talk to people. He especially loved meeting new people—he met a roomful of people he didn't know with the hugest smile. And I think that simple approach is a good lesson—when we go out to present our ideas we are just talking to new people, which is something we've done many times before. It's fun to talk to people you don't know, compare notes, find out stuff, test your ideas. And we know, from our journalism lives, how to talk to them.
But this is the big Demon—selling, I mean. I talked to a former colleague at The Oregonian recently and it's the first thing that he brought up: How do you sell to people? But then he answered his own question. Every day, he reminded himself, he sells people on the idea of talking to him. Why does he do it? Because deep down he thinks it's in the public interest for them to do so. And whatever timidity he has about it goes away.
Michael: That's a really appealing way to think of the work. But part of my problem is that I struggle to believe that advertising is as valuable as everyone who buys and sells it seems to believe, based on the rate cards I've picked up from other outlets. It undermines my faith that my product will be useful to my advertisers.
Barry: I don't think you are selling advertising. You are selling a partnership that will try to change the culture in ways small and profound. The way your partner is going to help is by showing support in your print product—and giving you a little bit of money! Will the ad "work"? I don't think you have to worry about that so much at this point.
Michael: That does jibe with my experience so far: At least half of Portland Afoot's sponsors haven't wanted to talk costs and benefits—they just seem to be buying ads because it makes them happy to help. Do you think that applies to less do-goodery projects than ours—a pop music site, maybe?
Barry: I think it applies to non-profit sites, primarily, yes. But really, even a for-profit site has to believe that its existence is in the public interest somehow, or it makes selling it empty.
Michael: What's the hardest sale you've made so far, and why do you think it closed?
Barry: My model is built on convincing the city's major arts organizations to act as a "portal" to their subscribers and members for my independent cultural journalism team. I'm hoping that ultimately those subscribers/members will become the backbone of my financial success, both directly (through fees and donations) and indirectly (through ads purchased to connect to them). The most difficult moment came when I couldn't get ANYONE to agree to allow me to pitch a membership in my organization to their subscribers directly—I was hoping they would let me piggy-back on their subscription campaigns. Even the groups that agreed that an independent arts news entity was vital to them didn't want to do this.

Doctoral hats
The Finnish doctoral hat resembles a top hat. A golden emblem is attached to the velvet ribbon on the hat. Traditionally the colour of the hat is black, green, red, or purple, but different scientific disciplines have their own colours of hats. The hats are tailor-made.
In the Conferment of Academic Degrees, all Doctors wear doctoral hats. The hat is held in the left hand when entering the hall. The emblem should face forwards. The hat is put on and taken off at the same time with the Conferrer of Degrees. The newly-conferred Doctors weat the hat also during the dinners and the ball. How other Doctors will use their hats in the festivities is decided on case-by-case.
Doctoral sword
In Finland, the only sword allowed in conferment ceremonies is the officially certified civilian sword of the independent republic of Finland. It comes with a scabbard and a black or golden clip. In addition, a golden emblem of the university can be attached to the sword.
Traditionally the sword is worn on the left side. Men wear the sword in a clip, for which a sturdy loop is sown on the trousers. The sword is held firmly in its place by a clasp in the scabbard. Female Doctors need a sword as well. Women can be a bit more creative in wearing the sword, because usually the material of the evening gowns isn't strong enough to support the sword and the scabbard. The sword can be attached to for example the belt of the skirt. In a two-piece outfit, the support system can be hidden underneath the hem of the top piece. If a female Doctor does not want to attach the sword to their outfits, it can be carried in hand.
The doctoral sword can be acquired even if you wouldn't participate in the Conferment Ceremony. On the sword, the name of the Doctor and the date of the public defence of the doctoral thesis or the Conferment Ceremony.
Master's ring
The golden Master's ring has served as an insignia ever since the 19th century. In the Conferment Ceremony, women wear the ring on top of gloves. In all other academic festivities, the ring is worn under gloves, like any other ring. You don't need the official Master's ring for the Conferment Ceremony – any golden or gilded ring will do.

Well, it's amazing to be reminded of all their fantastic work - not just the images and characters, but the stories also. They pretty much have it all. I would personally like to thank Pixar for The Incredibles, which for me is unsurpassed. Simply brilliant.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1

The VFX work was amazing, as always, well done to everyone involved. Would the film have been enhanced if it was in 3D? I think possibly so, but as we all now know, 3D as an afterthought is not the way to go.
I do worry about having a 'two parter' personally, you are going to the cinema knowing that there will not be a resolution. But that said, the cinema was full and that has to be a good thing for the industry. Count down to the final film... or will it be?
To be academic or not, that is the question...
Here's a great piece of animation which illustrates something I care deeply about, the education system.
