Great experience! Clean hotel, right on the beach and very close walk to Quinta avenida.

Not as expected.Posted Feb 20, 2015
Pros: The front line staff was fantastic and truly the best asset this property has to offer. The pool area is also beautiful - intimate and well designed.
Cons: Better locking mechanisms on doors. Better hot water system. Update website to better reflect rooms.
Location: The location is great for restaurants and bars. A bit noisy but worth it if you are interested in the nightlife.
I booked this hotel based on descriptions from both Expedia and the hotel website. I chose a "penthouse" for what I hoped would be a luxury experience. Unfortunately what is actually offered really isn't a "penthouse." Rather, it is a nice enough condo with no balcony or attached terrace. Rather, you must leave your condo, go up a flight of stairs to the roof to access the hot tube and terrace. It is not all convenient - a rather awkward set-up for something being billed as a penthouse and presented as high end. Had I known this I would have skipped the "penthouse" and taken a lower level condo on the beach/ocean side of the complex.

Beautiful condo, great experiencePosted Feb 9, 2015
El Taj was a wonderful place to stay! Great location within walking distance to everything and right on the beach. Staff was helpful. Beautiful (slightly small) bathroom, comfortable bed. Outside noise was not a problem for us, partly thanks to the thoughtful sound machine in our bedroom. One complaint- our unit was billed as partial ocean view, but this was not at all the case.

Keep Coming BackPosted Dec 15, 2014
This was my third stay at El Taj and each time I love it just as much as the last. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful with recommendations for eating around town and always there to help with anything. I can't wait to come back, sit at the beach club and have a few drinks.

Bästa servicen.Posted Nov 4, 2014 on Hotels.com
Ett bra, välskött hotell, bra frukost och soft musik vid strandkanten och superb personal. Även att vi dricksade dåligt första dagarna så hade vi den bästa tänkbara servicen från alla, när sedan dricksen ökade blev servicen än bättre! Rekommenderas varmt !

Noice outsidePosted Oct 14, 2014
Cons: I ll go again
Location: all the stores and restaurants
Everthing was great, love that 5th street is around the corner, food is nice, the only problem is that there is a disco that is next block and is hard to sleep and rest at night because of the noise and it ends at 6 am.

London Harry Potter Walking Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the London Harry Potter Walking Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
It was great to learn little things about the Harry Potter movies and it was great for seeing a nice little bit of London. Not too little, either--I liked the use of the tube to reach further areas. And although I love to walk and walk, I did recognize that the tour kept the walking manageable even for people who don't enjoy wandering forever. I'm so glad I heard of the tour and I will definitely recommend it.
We loved it, the Scotish guy was a great guide! We learned a lot about the film location ideas and also about London. We recommend it!
This tour was amazing!
Extremely enjoyable by a family of three generations celebrating an 18th birthday of an avid Harry Potter fan. Yes highly recommended.
Great way to see London and hear facts about Harry Potter films. We went to some great little hidden places that inspired J K Rowling. Tour guide Sarah was fabulous, not only gave us info about the film's but lots of incidental facts about London. We loved the chewing gum art on Millenium Bridge.
My family of 5 with kids ages 10, 13 and 13 had a ball on the London Harry Potter Walking Tour. Our guide, Sarah Jefferson, did an amazing job of showing us Ms. Rowling's inspirations throughout daily London. We covered a lot of ground in just shy of 3 hours and our attention was captured the whole time. Sarah did a great job of engaging the group, but especially the kids, throughout the whole tour. She was knowledgeable and fun! A bonus of doing this early in your London trip - Sarah took us to some cool places that we were not even aware existed, that we were then able to go back and visit later during our trip.
Very fun, cool tour with two guides trading off. As others have said, it's also a great way to see a lot of London with Thames cruise taking you across the river, and underground ride to Platform 9 and 3/4. We did this on our first day and immediately became comfortable with using the tube for the rest of the trip. A must for youngsters (and us older folks too) who are Harry Groupies! It was an all ages crowd.
There were three of us on this tour including our granddaughter (age 14) who was the main reason we took this tour. We found the Guides excellent and they kept us interested and moved the tour along. There was a lot of information and the pace was good. We got some insights and later also took in the Studio tour. She took a lot of pictures and appeared to be satisfied. We would recommend the tour to anyone interested in the subject of Harry Potter and J K Rowling.
perfect for die hard harry potter fans. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
The locations themselves are nothing special, but the story behind each site used in the movie is what's worthwhile with this tour.
Loved it - great tour and cool info.
Allan was an excellent tour guide. Amusing and very informative.
Fun..fun...fun.....I knew my kids would love this but in reality the wife and I enjoyed it just as much. Excellent guide, excellent tour...really good value for money. Thank you!!!
It was excellent. Platform 9 3/4 was really the least of it, the guide was knowledgable and interesting; especially making the point of Rowling writing about England as it is, and how the movies and books were capturing very real essences from London. My kids and I have been watching the movies again, and it is no end of thrilling to see the places we walked on the screen.
Loved it !!!

Jonathan Papelbon (RP)
Sun, Mar 8th 11:19am EDT
By Joe Orsatti
Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon hits 93 mph on the radar gun after averaging just above 91 mph last season. (Source: USA Today)
Fantasy Impact: Due to Papelbon finding some more speed on his fastball, it could greatly improve his already stellar results. Papelbon should be taken in all league forms.
Thu, Feb 26th 6:32pm EST
By Kerry Kauffman
The Milwaukee Brewers appeared to have interest in Phillies' closer Jonathan Papelbon, but talks hit a snag late last month. With the Brewers signing Francisco Rodriguez to a two-year contract, a trade for Papelbon will have to be with another team. That team may be the Toronto Blue Jays, who have also been talking to the Phillies about Papelbon. It appears Papelbon would welcome a trade should Ruben Amaro Jr. be able to get a deal in place. (Source: CSNPhilly.com)
Fantasy Impact: Papelbon had a record of 2-3 with 39 saves and a 2.04 ERA last season with the Phillies. Should he be traded to the Blue Jays or another contender, expect that save total to be even higher. In any event, the 34-year old should still be one of the top fantasy closers in 2015.
Mon, Jan 26th 11:02am EST
By Kerry Kauffman
Last week the Brewers appeared to have great interest in closer Jonathan Papelbon, but the Phillies and Brewers have not talked about Papelbon in the last two days. While something could happen down the road, Papelbon's no-trade clause appears to be the big issue preventing a deal. (Source: Rotoworld.com)
Fantasy Impact: Unless one side or the other budges on their stance, a deal likely wont happen. Should Papelbon remain in Philadelphia, he will likely be the closer again this season. There is no secret that the Phillies want Ken Giles to be the closer down the road, as soon as this season, should Papelbon be moved. In any event, Papelbon remains one of the top closers in baseball and will be grabbed in any fantasy league.
Fri, Jan 23rd 7:45pm EST
By Kerry Kauffman
In the midst of a rebuilding process, the Philadelphia Phillies have already traded Jimmy Rolling, Marlon Byrd and Antonio Bastardo. Now it appears the Milwaukee Brewers have been talking to the Phillies about acquiring Jonathan Papelbon. The problem is that the Brewers are one of 17 teams to which Papelbon could block a trade. Papelbon could approve a deal, but he'd require his $13 million option for 2016 to be guaranteed. (Source: CSNPhilly.com)
Fantasy Impact: Should Papelbon be traded to the Brewers or any of the 12 teams to which he'd accept a trade, Ken Giles would likely become the closer for the Phiillies. Giles was 3-1 with a 1.18 ERA last season with 64 strikeouts and just 11 walks in 45 2/3 innings. Papelbon would likely have more save opportunities should be he traded to a contender and is still among the top closers in the game. Both Papelbon and Giles should be significant fantasy contributors this season.
Wed, Dec 24th 11:55am EST
By Ryan Devine
According to a tweet from Jon Heyman at CBS Sports, the Toronto Blue Jays are actively seeking out a new closer through the trade market. (Source: Jon Heyman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Phillies have been actively shopping Jonathan Papelbon since last winter but, due to his above market contract, have been unable to find a suitor. The Blue Jays entering the market could finally help settle Papelbon's future, with a move to Toronto likely offering more save situations than Philadelphia. If a move gets done, Papelbon's value should increase.

How do I cite?
Different disciplines use different documentation styles. (See list of examples below or consult our printed style manuals, located at the Snell Library Reference Desk.)
Consult your instructor or publisher if you are not sure which one to use.
Is there software to help manage my citations?
Yes! Both EndNote [1] (provided by the University) and RefWorks [2] (provided by the University Libraries) are licensed for use by current NU faculty, staff, and students. Both of these programs help you collect and manage your references, and auto-format citations and bibliographies in your papers.
Why do I need to cite?
Using footnotes, bibliographies, and similar strategies serves two main purposes:
1. It gives credit to the person who created the idea.
2. It allows your readers to locate the sources you used, therefore they can read or judge them for themselves.

5930 Tasting Notes
i gulped this down before getting hauled outside the house on this very miserable wet evening. We decided very last minute to rent a zipcar and run over to the grocery store and ikea to get groceries for the week and stock up on frames. Anyone in need of reasonable basic frames – ikea's are on sale for 50% off right now… so you can get a 5×7 for 2.50 for example, or a poster size for 10$.
Anyway long story short…this was tasty and i loved it but i can't tell you anything beyond that, so i'll share my thoughts next time! hahaha
oooooh eeeeeee yeaaah! this is fantastically interesting! :) if you're following me, you know my oolong thoughts.
this? this is a delicious cup of fruity, plum, cherry, sweet goodness. It's..different.there's a base note in this that is decidedly NOT fruity but helps to pull it all together. seriously…this is just a fun tea to be drinking right now..and so very unexpectedly different. neat!
this is very nearly a sipdown as with oolongs from stacy, i tend to pick up the .5OZ size so that i can see how it works for me. This reminds me more of a black tea with only the tail end of the sip being oolongy.
I drank this up without even realising it…this really has grown on me every time i drink it. Bumping the rating as a result.
mmmm this one cooled a bit while i finished up the dishes. I was supposed to go out and run some errands today but i just haven't been able to get motivated. Instead i've been drinking tea, watching tv and doing odds and ends around the house.
I quite like this one. It's not a bold, dark or moody black but it is smooth and sweet with a splash of something else hanging out in the background. I'm enjoying this one, though i think i need to have another cup when i'm not making the whole house smell delicious with my brisket that's slow cooking. I think it's messing with my tastebuds a little haha
this one is an interesting tea. It's malty, but yet not. It's..tangy…it's like an afternoon tea…not quite as bold as some morning teas but still flavourful. I think i need to drink this a bit more and wrap my head around the flavours. this is looking like a tasty one stacy! :)
yes please! I struggle with white teas. They're often fairly flavourless to me or they just come across as sweet water. this is tasty…and i totally got distracted while writing my tasting note and drinking this. and now it's gone. but yummy this is! better notes to follow later haha
woohoo! this is a great green. For someone whose preferences lean towards blacks and puerhs, this is super tasty. It's clean and crisp and delicious! Seriously. I'd consider adding this to my cupboard as one of my few green teas. just. yum. thanks fuzzy P!
edit: 160 mission accomplished for today haha
eesh first tasting note lol I hate that haha. Brewed this one up alongside pumpkin milkshake. I am not generally a fan of oolongs, so i only ordered a small quantity of this one to try it out. I have a mini mission to try all of stacy's teas and so far, i'm doing pretty well haha. I don't love this as much as i ended up liking the sparrow oolong i picked up from her but this is pretty tasty. It's on the lighter side of things, with a sweetness that comes through while you drink it. mmm quite liking this one! thanks stacy!
So i didn't realise it when i brewed my teas, but i brewed up this one along with the tea that makes the base. I tend to drink teas in pairs at my place and it's a coincidence that i brewed the two together. I'm mostly just trying to try all of the new stacy teas in my house today so tomorrow can be a sipdown day haha.
this smells delicious. first sip? bitter. So i bounced back and forth tasting this one and the base to figure out what i was tasting. it's not the base. i know i followed the steeping parameters so not sure what's up here.
I added a bit of sweetner which really made the pumpkin taste POP so now it's drinkable but i'm not in love. I'll have to try this again and see what i might have done wrong and if it still doesn't work for me, then it wasn't meant to be!
That was kind of my first impression as well. Okay but not in love or even a solid like yet. I passed it on to my mom since I actually got both this and the pumpkin brulee for her. I'll get it back eventually since she won't drink it quickly. :) Then I'll try again.

Parent School Climate surveys
The School Climate Surveys provide valuable information
to schools, districts, and the provincial government about topics such
as quality of education, student learning opportunities, school safety,
and bullying and harassment.
The success of this opportunity depends very much on the survey response
rates – low response rates mean high potential for bias in the data.
This opportunity to gather valuable school-level information for
strategic decision-making becomes lost if response rates are low.
The online teacher and parent surveys will remain open
until Friday, March 27th, 2015.

Yesterday, while at the Winter Olympics, leggy Porsche ambassador Maria Sharapova tweeted a picture of a bizarre, giant motorhome, asking 'What's the story behind this ridiculous thing?'

Rowan Horncastle14 February 2014
Sharapova, this is your motorhome
Porsche ambassador and tennisist wants to know the story behind this freakish contraption. This way, Maria
Yesterday, while at the Winter Olympics, leggy Porsche ambassador Maria Sharapova tweeted a picture of a bizarre, giant motorhome, asking 'What's the story behind this ridiculous thing?'
It costs three million bucks, looks like a Klingon pig and makes Jeremy, James and Richard's campervan efforts look massively shoddy. But unlike the outrageous £244 million Monaco-shaped superyacht this self-described 'land yacht' is very much a reality.
Details are slim on who owns it, why it's in Sochi and for what reason. But considering the Austrian-built megahome is equipped with a bar, rainfall shower, pop-up roof terrace and wood-burning fireplace, it sounds like the perfect place to kick back and relax after competitively falling down ice in lycra.
So I hope that helps Maria (we know you're reading) and if you could get us any more pics, send them to the usual address: firstname.lastname@example.com.
As for the rest of your internetists, click through the gallery to see more pics of the outrageous eleMMent Palazzo and tell us how you'd spec yours below.

Brumbies make five changes for Sharks
March 15, 2013
George Smith has been promoted from the bench to replace injured David Pocock © Getty Images
Brumbies coach Jake White has made five changes to his undefeated starting line-up, to bulk up for the Super Rugby match against the Sharks in Durban.
Scott Sio (prop), George Smith (openside flanker), Fotu Auelua (No.8), Tevita Kuridrani (outside centre) and Joe Tomane (wing) have all been promoted into the starting XV as the Brumbies, three from three this season, face their biggest challenge of the campaign to date against last year's Super Rugby runners-up.
Smith was a forced change after regular No. 7 David Pocock tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, against New South Wales Waratahs, and he features as part of a heavily reworked pack after White opted for more firepower seemingly to ensure the Brumbies are not outmuscled by their big South African opponents.
Peter Kimlin moves to the second-row, replacing Scott Fardy, who has been dropped to the bench, and captain Ben Mowen switches from the back of the scrum to blindside flanker.
Tight-head prop Dan Palmer has been given a week off to give 116kg prop Sio his run-on debut. "Scotty Sio has been working hard on his set-piece and fitness and its nice to be able to hand him his first starting jersey," White said.
Former Australia under-20 skipper Colby Faingaa will also feature on the Brumbies' bench to cover for Smith.
"Traditionally this has been one of the Brumbies's biggest games of the season," White said. "To come away from Durban with four points is a huge challenge, but one the team feels comfortable with."
Outside centre Andrew Smith has been dropped from the Brumbies matchday 22 for the first time since 2011, White opting for the 196cm Fiji-born Kuridrani. South Africa-born Clyde Rathbone has also been moved to the bench for the first time since returning to Super Rugby, with Joe Tomane being promoted to the starting line-up alongside fellow winger Henry Speight.
Team: Jesse Mogg; Henry Speight, Tevita Kuridrani, Christian Lealiifano, Joseph Tomane; Matt Toomua, Nic White; Fotu Auelua, George Smith, Ben Mowen (captain); Sam Carter, Peter Kimlin; Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore, Scott Sio. Replacements: Siliva Siliva, Ruaidhri Murphy, Scott Fardy, Colby Faingaa, Ian Prior, Robbie Coleman, Clyde Rathbone.

IDENTIFICATION BAND Filed March 1, 1948 [N V EN TOR 2779112 wzzz'cz Patented July 24, 1951 UNITED) srATssmam 2,561,894 IDENTIFICATIONIBAND FredR. Wallich, Los Angeles, cam.
Application March 1, 1948, Serial No. 12,337
This invention concerns the science of identification of individuals, and more particularly is a system for the safe labelling of new born infants for their reliable identification, especially in maternity hospitals.
.It is well known that confusion often happens in the correct identification of new born babies; even. in well regulated maternity institutions. 'Many attempts have been made to solve the numerous difficulties incident to the use of marking devices and systems in connection with the effective identification of babies. The present invention has in view the provision of an organized system by the use of which a band can be applied to an arm orfa leg of a new born child in a very short time after the birth.
A further intent of the'invention is to provide a marking system in which is'supplied a tough, flexible; water and oil resistive band, wholly free of metallic elements and which involves no harmful ingredients to possibly react with ill'effect on'the childs skin. I
Additionally, it is in the ken of the invention to provide a marking band of such a nature'that I 1 Claim. (01. 40-221) 2 coiled into band form for closing about an infants (limb (wrist or ankle).
Figure 3*is a sectional view of a boxed solution and band kit.
Figure 4 is a transverse legend: strip.
In its preferred embodiment the invention concross-section of the sists-ofa suitable size piece of strip like-materiajl such as a light Weight and sufiiciently strong cloth 2. This strip is impregnated with a desired liquid which will dry firm and constitute a varnish coat 3 which Will take an inscription in ink or other suitable material to provide a clearly viewable legend or named to constitute a label for identification'purposes. One'of such impregnating substances is liquid cellulose acetate; this having been found to be particularly advantageous because it renders the strip 2 water and oil repellant and sufliciently flexible to be readily coiled into wrist or leg band form 5, Fig.2.
At the time of birth of a baby three of the "strips 2 are removed from a kit box B and the the mother's name, and her fingerprint as want- 1 ed, may be easily and quickly appliedand then given a protective coat of durable, water and oil bands for infants; one such varnish being of the cellulose-acetate group.
The invention resides in certain advancements in this art as set forth in the ensuing'disclosure and having, with the above, additional objects and advantages as will be hereinafter developed desired legend or name 4 is inscribed on onev (the outer) face of the bandingmaking strip, and then the outer face of the strip is coated with a mixture of cellulose acetate and acetone, known as having a strong afiinity for the acetate im 'pregnation'as a varnish 6. For instant avail.- ability -a vessel V'of this acetone .mixture is provided as a part of the band kit in the handy box B.
At the most opportune moment after the birth of the baby such end margins of the strip 2 as will lap one on the other to complete the band,
and whose constructions, combinations and de- I tails of means and the manner of operation will be made manifest in the following description of the herewith illustrative embodiment; it being understood that equivalents, variations, modifi-' cations and adaptations may be resorted to within the scope, spirit and principles of the invention as it is claimed in conclusion hereof.
Figure 1 is a perspective of the band blank.
Figure 2" is a perspective of an inscribed blank when applied to the given limb, will be moistened by an application of the saidacetone mixture as at I whereby to make a strong adhesive contact of the lapped band ends.
If desired, the impregnated band blank 2 may have a thin coating of any desired material, starch H for instance, to facilitate making the legend imprint.
' The blank 2 may be made of a suitably soft or pliant vinyl or cellulosic plastic body without use of the reinforcing fabric, and which has the several properties of long life and desired cleanliness, and safety of the applied legend against tampering, and permanence as documentary evi-- dence.
It is old to apply identification limb bands to new-born babies but heretofore such bands would not keep clean or remain applied and were there fore unsatisfactory, This. invention provides a ends are adhesively attached by a strong and reliable medium making them practically inseparable by wear and liquid attack, and which band will stay in useful condition for the confinement period, and is removable practically, only by actual cutting apart. Also, the invention provides a band which, when removed from the baby, can be used as actual documentary evidence for record purposes; a quality not heretofore available in identification bands for baby use. Inusing this system of baby marking, at birth, one band can be employed for the preservation of record by a parent, one can be used for a permanent doctors or institutional record ele-' I ment, and one, by use on a babys ankle, affords a protection against surreptitious tampering, as is possible which are quickly accessible.
In this system the about the actual time of birth and as birth is occurring the band can be instantly coated at I with an adhesive, as of the acetone mix, which will quickly set under slight finger pressure and without heat, and as soon as the baby is handed over to the nurse she will wrap the band about. the limb and clinch the lapped ends. Bands may be applied on as many limbs of a baby as desired; to give ample documentary record. An advantage had by this system is that the cost of identifica tion insurance is greatly reduced.
The cellulosic nature of the band gives it great life; its adherred lapping ends will stay reliably in place for a long period; the varnished legend is fool proof and practically unalterable by oil or water action, and the band stays clean and attractive for the full period needed. The devices may be of any suitable color.
The basal strip 2, bearing'the imprinted or inscribed legend, and the covering varnish coat constitute a safe, laminated band.
The system is economical; it gives the mother a strong sense of security of baby identification; it is'fool-proof in employment, and it affords a reliable basis for legal, documentary evidence.
The mothers finger prints are applied to the obverse face of the plastics film at or about the time of labor and the inscribed legend and marks are at once coated by the quick drying acetone varnish for reliable protection of the markings.
if bands are applied only to wrists I band is prepared, as to iden- I I tification legend and mothers finger prints, at
A thin soft, cushion layer of appropriate material is shown at 10, but it is not essential in the plastics band.
What is claimed is:
A birth-record, band-blank adapted for inscription and application to a baby limb at the immediate time of birth and comprising a strip of fabric impregnated by a water and oil resistive solid filler of the nature of cellulosic acetate; one face of the impregnated strip having an additive coating of the same substance as the filler with an added abrasive for and to facilitate making a written inscription; and an inscription face protecting varnish of the same substance of the filler covering said coating and the inscription and bonding the applied inscription and said coating onto the impregnated fabric whereby to constitute a durable and reliable record device in which the inscription is sealed as an integral. part of the band-blank, said varnish rendering the record water and oil resistive and substantially irremovable Without "evidence of destruction; the ends of the blank being adapted to be affixed in face-lapped position by an application of the protecting varnish.

The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal govern- ment on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone is president of the National Academy of Sciences. The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its mem- bers, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advis- ing the federal government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., is president of the National Academy of Engineering. The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Victor J. Dzau is president of the Institute of Medicine. The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government. Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in pro- viding services to the government, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Ralph J. Cicerone and Dr. C. D. Mote, Jr., are chair and vice chair, respectively, of the National Research Council. www.national-academies.org

Acknowledgments T his report summarizes the proceedings of a workshop convened in February 2014 to consider guidelines for returning individual results from genomic research using population-based banked spec- imens. The workshop was sponsored by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and convened by the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) in the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Educa- tion (DBASSE) of the National Research Council (NRC). The workshop was organized by a six-member steering committee composed of experts in the fields of bioethics, law and genetics, biomedi- cal genetics, and demography. The committee was chaired by Wylie Burke, University of Washington, and included Leslie G. Biesecker, National Human Genome Research Institute; Jeffrey Botkin, University of Utah; Mildred K. Cho, Stanford University; Ellen Wright Clayton, Vanderbilt University; and Eileen M. Crimmins, University of Southern California. The committee provided indispensable guidance in developing the work- shop agenda, securing expert presentations, and facilitating the conduct of the workshop. Although the steering committee members played a central role throughout, they did not actively participate in writing this summary. The committee would like to thank NCHS staff members Virginia Cain, Jennifer Madans, Geraldine McQuillan, and Kathryn Porter for their planning-meeting input prior to the workshop. The presentations during the workshop provided the basis for lively and informative dis- cussions. We greatly appreciate the contributions of Benjamin Berkman, vii

Gr 4–6—A welcome introduction to Homer's The Iliad. While the book uses the clear and concise language typical of the series, there is some attempt to mimic the rhythmic language of the original: "Now, dear reader, you will hear the tale of Achilles and his rage." The story is broken into sections, with a quick introduction to Greek myth. Each chapter title clearly sums up the main event within, and the action scenes are paced well against the exposition to give readers the full scale of the story. While there are better versions to truly reflect the artistry of the original, this is a great choice for readers who need a clear breakdown of the story. It could easily be used to supplement classroom readings of a more challenging version or to allow students not quite ready for the original to get a head start. Discussion questions at the end will be particularly helpful for teachers.—Heather Talty, formerly at Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School, New York City

Balsas, Río (rēˈō bälˈsäs) [key], river, c.450 mi (720 km) long, rising in the state of Puebla, E central Mexico. One of Mexico's longest rivers, it flows in a curve from south to northwest through Puebla and Guerrero states, where it waters a fertile valley, to Michoacán state, forming most of the boundary between the last two states. Then it turns southwest, passing through a hot, dry region before emptying into the Pacific Ocean. It is also known as the Río Mescala.

I actually did decorate for St. Pat's Day
I have been putting in extra days at work lately and also working on painting cabinets for our our house in Sedona. We are putting them in the room that we remodeled after Christmas. Painting them here to take down and install.
Also, just been in kind of a funk, so haven't been around for a while.
I really did decorate for St. Patrick's Day, but just didn't get it posted. I created a vignette for the tea cart.
I think OA and I have the same Amish cart,
A leprechaun fairy picture I made using a calendar page and a TS frame.
The little white tree with a rather overgrown leprechaun, LOL
Little white tree close up;
Candy, sweeeet! Pretty clover tea pot and dishes. So many cute little lads you have displayed here. Your tree is beautiful. Neat idea framing the calendar page.
Sounds like you are a busy lady. Do share pictures of your painted cabinets when your done. Hope all of this decor brightens your spirits. Glad you found time to post pictures.
I'm so glad you were able to decorate....and amazed since you've been ultra busy, plus dealing with the Funky Blues.
Everything looks so cute. I always enjoy seeing your little white tree, and the tea cart. You do them up wonderfully each holiday. That Amish cart is a great little piece to 'play' with too. ;o)
hugs and good thoughts for better days,
Lovin' the lil' green wood cart & that tall post Leprechaun beside it! That framed fairy pic is very cute ...nice calendar page SAVE! Am glad you are back to post some pics...not only has the Forum had Garden Gnomes causing issues ...but the 'Funk' epidemic has been spreading! Now it's the 1st Day of Spring so let's hope for a 'renewal in spirit' & taking each day as a blessing (even if it is in disguise). Hugs, candy! Jeanne S.
Thank you all so much for the inspiring words. I am truly grateful for all my blessings and I include all my forum friends as part of those blessings! You are just the best!
Punk, I will post pictures when we get the cabinets installed as they are just stacked in the garage right now and we aren't replacing the doors and drawers until we "put them in their place", LOL!
Nana, fortunately, the leprechauns were well behaved this year, although now that I think about it....hmmmm
Marlene, The leprechaun was given to us by some former neighbors who were moving and knew how much I liked to decorate for holidays. They thought he would be better off with me, LOL. I just started colleting a few Mark Roberts fairies, but the calendar pages are inexpensive substitutes for the real thing!
Karen, probably part of the funk was due to being tired, and withdrawal from golf! We hadn't been able to play until recently as the course was closed because of snow and ice. We finally have had some good weather and were able to play, although we have had some horrific winds! I really dislike wind and that doesn't help my mood either!
I'm sounding lilke Oscar the Grouch, but it does make me grouchy!
Jeanne, you are so right, each day is a blessing. Sometimes I forget to count them as I should. I get caught up by the personal issues and don't see the big picture.
Thanks again everybody.
Happy Spring,

I believe that difficulties are inevitable. With this practical attitude, coupled with your dependable, cooperative and "can-do" spirit, I often become a central and effective player in social and business networks. I am generally calm and entertaining, too, and always dedicated and reliable. I am relaxed and easy to be with, but I am picky. I am attracted to those who share my values; moral fiber in a partner is important to me. I also admire those who respect rules, schedules, and traditions. Those who are direct, analytical, authentic and assertive and can enjoy my compassionate nature will get the best of me.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
Some other viewpoint
I love cooking; gastronomy in general. I also have an interest in computers and gadgets (not general electronics though) but I would hate doing something like IT&C to earn a living. I like anything from house to techno to jazz and waltz (and old rap)
