The youngest -- and henceforth the most vulnerable citizen's of the world's newest nation is under threat of hunger and mass starvation. According to the United Nations, 50,000 children younger than five years of age are likely to die in war-torn South Sudan unless they receive urgent treatment.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The U.N. Children's Fund warns that nearly a quarter of a million children will suffer severe acute malnutrition by the end of the year if more is not done now to tackle hunger.
There are more than 3.7 million people in South Sudan, including almost 740,000 children less than five years of age. These children are at a high risk of food insecurity, with many already forced to eat wild "famine foods" like bulbs and grasses, according to UNICEF.

South Sudan declared independence from Sudan in 2011 but has since been plagued by unrest. Thousands of people have been killed. Around one million people have been displaced since fighting erupted in mid-December.
During this civil war between the government and rebels, aid agencies have expressed concern about people's lack of access to life-saving relief because of the warring sides' suspicion of U.N. humanitarian efforts.
"If conflict continues, and farmers miss the planting season, we will see child malnutrition on a scale never before experienced here," Jonathan Veitch, UNICEF's representative in South Sudan, said in a statement. "If we cannot get more funds and better access to reach malnourished children in South Sudan, tens of thousands of under-fives will die."
Agencies warn there will be dire humanitarian consequences if urgently needed funds were not raised in the coming weeks. Donors have so far pledged funding to cover 36 percent of the $1.27 billion South Sudan Crisis Response Plan for the period January to June 2014.
UNICEF needs $38 million to meet nutrition needs in South Sudan fully, of which only $4.6 million has been received.
The immediate goal of the agency is to treat more than 150,000 severely malnourished children under five. It will send out rapid response teams into remote areas to deliver ready-to-use foods, micronutrient supplements, medicine, water purification sachets, Vitamin A and de-worming tablets. They will also support breastfeeding mothers and pregnant women.

Why are Pellet Grills better than other standard grills? The answer is easy... Pellet Grills make food taste better. Grilling over real wood results in better tasting food filled with flavor!
When it comes to Bar-B-Que competitions, pellet grills have an advantage. Using a pellet grill makes your outdoor cooking easy and gives you grilled food that will impress anyone. Cook your food over oak based wood pellets instead of chemicals and propane. Ditch that lighter fluid and get grilling as a pro with a pellet grill!

The past few months have been another set of restructuring months in our home. I decided to leave the gym and partner with another trainer to establish a business in bootcamps, in-home personal training sessions, and corporate programs. Our home balance is shifting as my husband and I gear up for the school year as we are homeschooling our children.
In the mist of these changes, workouts have slipped. Where I would workout 4 to 5 times a week, these last few weeks have only consisted of one or two workouts a week. I can feel the drop in energy and increase in stress. With these factors, I have also seen a change in eating habits.
So, I know it's time to reestablish the consistency of working out. It's important to keep health a priority, and yet, I find myself slipping into the ease of "I just missed today, I'll make it up tomorrow." Until tomorrow becomes next week!
Here are the mantras that I'm repeating to myself and so far it's worked out.
How about you? What are your mantras when you find yourself slipping?

adult children estrangment
Perhaps "estranged" is the wrong word. I see my son and DIL on holidays or when I invite myself over to their home (once or twice a year during the summer)in the guise of planting a garden or helping with a project. However, my son NEVER phones to say "hi Mom, How ya doin? NEVER The one time I asked him about this he assured me he loved me and said he would try to call. He never did. He seems so wrapped up in his own life. I have been extremely careful not to be intrusive in any way and shower my DIL with positive regard when in her presence or with an occasional card or gift. Nothing works.
Ya know....you just can't understand everything in life I guess.
My oldest is not mad at me, nor I her, but she never calls unless she has to....get togethers at holidays, etc. I have been on two trips to Europe with her and my youngest daughter, yet when we returned, she never called again. It's like she went with a stranger and needed no further contact. I used to make an effort to have some friendly contact, but now just don't.
My son, who lives in another state, calls every weekend or I call him; it is a little ritual and we both enjoy it. Two other daughters keep in pretty close contact.
I think it is just personality more than anything. The oldest is a lot like her father,(she would be boiling mad to hear that)....he was distant too. So, I just let it roll off my back like water off a duck's, and go on my way.
Can't let these things ruin the rest of YOUR life, because we are important too.
It is scary to me to not have contact...i just don't understand it.I'm beginning to wonder, though, if there are many, many of these situations, and that perhaps, because Iwas an only child, my daughter is an only, and I am alone, that her estrangement affects me more ?
Does anyone else think about this?
Love to all,
I posted just above you the other day. I am an only child too and I know how you feel in lots of ways. Even though I have four children the youngest and I were very close and lived together for a long time. When she bought a house and moved out it was very hard, almost like she had been an only because she was the baby and stayed around long after the others left home. My original post was about my eldest daughter.
I have very close contact with the "baby", but am not dependent on her for anything, just more anxious to know if she is ok. Am trying to get over that a little, and not become a pain in the neck. My mom really smothered me and I don't want to do that too, but it is hard not to I am finding out. I am understanding my Mother more and feeling much more sympathetic to her and her worries about me. Guess we live and learn.
mary helen,
I am sorry. I think I was so excited to find a board like this, I read thru everything too quickly !
My mom smothered me too, and spoiled me to death,,,but not for me,but for her needs.Actually I was somewhat of a toy in my family !Both parents, were orphans, and had no idea how to parent. They were married 14 years before I came along. My mother became ill, right after my birth. I was sent to live with virtual strangers..my father's then boss and his wife. They had no children, and all they did was smoke and drink...I was so alone most of my growing up years.I saw my parents infrequently, and was always asking when I could go home. I guess,the estrangement with my daughter now, is triggering lots of unwanted memories...
My daughter has behaved like your eldest daughter in the past. I feel very much the stranger,the
aquaintance. I wish I understood how they can keep going without acknowledging us ? I don't know why, either, and perhaps never will,but I have a wee bit of hope that once married and settled, we can have some sort of relationship...by phone and email as she will be in Japan.
I only realized that there are (at least) 2 boards like this...I have been writing sort of haphazardly to both. Do you do that too ?

Ohio Storefront Sweepstakes Ban Referendum (2014)
|Not on Ballot
| This measure did not or
will not appear on a ballot
HB 7 banned the operation of electronic sweepstakes devices in places without a gambling license.[2]
The referendum effort was sponsored by the Committee to Protect Ohio Jobs.[3]
Committee to Represent the Petitioners
- Janet Sue Fish
- Kip L. Molenaar
- G. David Gillock
- Richard J. Bonde
- Benjamin L. Garlich
Path to the ballot
SHB 7 was passed by the Ohio House of Representatives on March 13, 2013, and later by the Ohio State Senate on May 22, 2013.[4][5]
House vote
March 13, 2013 House vote
|Ohio SHB 7 House Vote
Senate vote
May 22, 2013 Senate vote
|Ohio SHB 7 Senate Vote
The bill was signed into law on June 4, 2013. This gave referendum supporters 90 days from that date to submit 231,149 signatures to the Ohio secretary of state's office. The deadline for the Committee to protect Ohio Jobs, the group behind the referendum, to submit signatures was September 3, 2013.
Opponents of HB 7, who supported the referendum effort reported that they submitted over 400,000 signatures to the secretary of state's office on Tuesday, September 3, 2013.[6] Although the committee submitted 433,884 signatures to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, Husted found that only 160,008 of them were valid. This left the group 10 days to collect the 71,140 signatures lacked by their petition, as well as meeting the 44-county requirement. The group admitted, on October 3, 2013, that they had failed to collect the additional signatures. This allowed House Bill 7 to go into effect the next day on October 4, 2013.[1]

New technologies generate much optimism at their inception, but this is often followed by disappointment and much criticism. This pattern is exemplified by the introduction of continuous electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) in obstetric care1–8. The scientific reasoning underlying this technology was well-founded and the initial results appeared favourable2. Individual randomised trials, however, failed to demonstrate a significant benefit, and have led many to question the value of the technology9. It was only with meta-analysis of many studies10 and in a large-scale trial5, that a reduction in neonatal seizures following prolonged, augmented or induced labours could be demonstrated. Even so, a reduction in other important outcome measures, such as residual neurological disability, remain unproved.
This lack of demonstrable benefit has provoked wide criticism of this technology from the community, mid-wives and obstetricians. It was pointed out that whenever EFM is introduced, there is an increase in obstetric intervention without any reduction in morbidity. On analysis however, this criticism appears at least as fallacious as the initial optimism. This commentary attempts to put in perspective the relationship between intervention and benefit for conditions of very low prevalence.
Electronic fetal monitoring and neonatal outcome

A variety of neonatal outcome parameters have been used extensively in the assessment of EFM. These include Apgar scores, umbilical artery pH at birth, need for intubation, neonatal seizures, ischaemic encephalopathy and perinatal mortality11. Table 1 shows the prevalence of these outcomes in developed countries. Although their correlation with significant long term morbidity is poor except at the extreme of their ranges, they nevertheless reflect the physical and metabolic condition of the baby at birth.
|Prevalence (%)
|Caesarean section23
|Neonatal outcome
|Apgar score < 5 at 5 rain24
|Umbilical artery pH < 7-025
|Intubation at birth25
|Neonatal seizures25
|Perinatal mortality attributable to hypoxia26
|Ischaemic encephalopathy24
While the sensitivity and specificity of antepartum EFM to detect adverse fetal outcomes has been extensively evaluated, the data on intrapartum EFM is limited (Table 2). In short, EFM is characterised by a relatively high sensitivity but a low specificity, and the human element in the interpretation has an effect on its accuracy12,13. This, in combination with the low prevalence of poor perinatal outcome, results in a high false positive rate leading to a high intervention rate.
The intervention-benefit ratio and research models

The positive predictive value (i.e. the proportion of those tested positive with the predicted outcome) can be derived from test sensitivity, specificity and disease prevalence14.
If intervention occurs whenever a test is positive, the intervention rate is equivalent to the test positive rate. However, such an intervention would only be beneficial if the test result is a true positive. The intervention-benefit ratio (IBR) can therefore be defined as the inverse of the positive predictive value. In the context of EFM the IBR represents the number of interventions that would be necessary to prevent a case of adverse neonatal outcome:
Although the sensitivity and specificity of a test tend to be stable, its usefulness—that is the IBR—depends on the prevalence of the adverse outcome in a particular population. Figure 1 demonstrates this relationship for an assumed sensitivity of EFM of 0.9 at four levels of specificity; Fig. 2 shows the same, for an assumed specificity of 0.9 at four levels of sensitivity. From these, it appears that variations in test specificity have a greater effect on the IBR than variations in sensitivity. The relationship between the IBR and decreasing prevalence can be seen to be exponential. This means that, for conditions of very low prevalence, a greater increase in intervention is necessary to achieve the same reduction in morbidity. Assuming a sensitivity and specificity of 0.9 (Tables 1 and 2), the use of EFM needs to increase the number of operative deliveries by 13 for each case of low Apgar score prevented, and by 186 to prevent a case of encephalopathy (Table 3).
|Outcome variable
|Apgar score < 5 at 5 min
|Umbilical artery pH < 7.0
|Intubation at birth
|Neonatal seizures
|Perinatal mortality attributable to hypoxia
|Ischaemic encephalopathy
In addition to the disparity between intervention and benefit, the wide discrepancy between the rate of obstetric intervention and perinatal morbidity (Table 1) constitutes a pitfall for researchers designing studies which examine the relationship between these two parameters. Figure 3 shows the number of cases required in each arm of a study to detect changes in interventions and outcomes, using a 0.8 power and a type 1 error of 0.0515. To detect a doubling or halving of the caesarean section rate from 10% requires 220 and 475 cases in each arm, respectively. However, a similar doubling or halving in the incidence of low Apgar scores from around 0.9% would require 2799 and 5634 cases, and for encephalopathy 85,012 and 42,488 cases. It can be seen that nearly all reported EFM studies were only capable of detecting an increase in intervention, but not a reduction in morbidity, even if this did occur3,4,8,16–20.
Currently, there is an increase in emphasis on evidence-based medicine, especially so in obstetrics10. Our analysis demonstrates that the flaws in much of the evidence has given special prominence to the negative aspects of EFM, whereas the possible benefits have been obscured by studies with insufficient numbers. This has provoked a drive to limit the use of EFM in labour10 before its potential is fully explored.
Even in a meta-analysis10, and in the trial conducted in Dublin5, the size of the studies would still have been insufficient to easily detect a reduction in immediate neonatal morbidity (Fig. 3). That both studies did so suggests that the sensitivity and specificity of EFM may be better than described in the literature.
A general principle is that, for conditions of very low prevalence, a new test or management policy can be shown to reduce intervention without showing rise in morbidity, if the study is small. In other words, it may be possible to reduce the intervention-benefit ratio by combining two tests, but this will decrease the sensitivity. This is well demonstrated in two small studies21,22 when—in addition to EFM—an additional positive test was required to make the diagnosis of fetal distress. These were able to demonstrate an apparent decrease in intervention without a significant increase in morbidity, but again the trials were too small to be able to comment on morbidity.
The separation of the intervention-benefit ratio and sensitivity also explains the apparent success of many modem hospital management practices. Significant reductions in services and therefore costs can be rapidly demonstrated before rises in adverse outcomes become apparent, simply because there is a great difference in the prevalence and hence the time and sample sizes required to detect these two different aspects of a service.

George Clooney: I Don't Care If People Say I'm Gay
(LOS ANGELES) -- Although George Clooney has dated arguably some of the most beautiful women in the world, rumors that he's gay come up every now and again. Clooney told The Advocate he couldn't care less.
"I think it's funny, but the last thing you'll ever see me do is jump up and down saying, 'These are lies!' That would be unfair and unkind to all my friends in the gay community," Clooney told the magazine.
The actor, who is currently dating Stacey Kiebler added, "I'm not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. My private life is private, and I'm very happy in it. Who does it hurts if someone thinks I'm gay? I'll be long dead and there will still be people who say I was gay. I don't give a s**t."

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said cyberattacks on the financial industry present "a real threat to our economic and national security."
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew warned of the dangers of cyberattacks on the financial sector in a July 16 speech in New York City, calling the cyber defense of businesses and government "a central test for all of us going forward."
"When credit card data is stolen, it disturbs lives and damages consumer confidence. When trade secrets are robbed, it undercuts America's businesses and undermines U.S. competitiveness," Lew said. "And successful attacks on our financial system would compromise market confidence, jeopardize the integrity of data and pose a threat to financial stability."
Private firms are primarily responsible for protecting themselves against cyber threats, but government can help by prosecuting cyber criminals, holding "state-sponsored attackers accountable and [providing] critical intelligence about specific threats and to share best practices," he said.
Hackers have already taken aim at the U.S. financial sector, notably in September 2012 when several big banks were hit by distributed denial-of-service attacks. Then-National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander warned last year that a foreign nation could cripple America's financial system with a cyberattack.
More than 250 DDOS attacks have hit U.S. banks and credit unions since 2011, Lew said.
"Cyberattacks on our financial system represent a real threat to our economic and national security, but a malicious cyber actor can cause catastrophic damage to our financial system without directly attacking a bank," he said.
"Risks to the system can be found at the vendors, suppliers and contractors who keep our financial system running," Lew added, referencing the hacking last year of billing information for tens of millions of Target customers. Hackers allegedly breached Target's computer network through a heating and air conditioning contractor.
Lew beseeched financial services firms and vendors that serve them to use the Obama administration's framework document for managing cyber risk for critical infrastructure. "Just as you consider your counter-parties when you take on financial risk, you should also consider your counter-parties in the area of cyber risk," he advised.
Lew joined a chorus of administration officials calling on Congress to pass a cybersecurity bill to bolster public-private information sharing of threats and to protect firms from liability for sharing such information.
"As it stands, our laws do not do enough to foster information sharing and defend the public from digital threats," Lew argued.
Experts have credited a $2 million grant from the Treasury Department in 2003 for boosting the effectiveness of the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center, a forum for banks and other financial firms to share cyber-threat information. In his speech, Lew highlighted a complementary tool available to the financial sector: a working group of cyber experts set up by the Treasury Department that feeds threat information to banks.

The Treasury secretary visited Verizon Enterprise Solutions' office in Ashburn, Va., on July 15 for a private briefing on cyber threats with Verizon executives. Lew then toured the telecom subsidiary's network operations center, stopping for a minute to tell reporters, "we've made a lot of progress, but we still have work to do to make sure that our systems are all safe from cyber threats. It's a very important challenge that we face economically, and in terms of our security."
Michael Maiorana, a senior vice president of Verizon Enterprise Solutions who met with the Treasury secretary, said his main message to agency heads like Lew is that "their networks are under constant attack." Federal chief technology and information security officers routinely come to VES's sprawling Ashburn facility for detailed cybersecurity briefings, he said.

Whitehaus apron front sinks? Opinions needed Please!
I have found a really cool Whitehaus apron front sink at a good price that has the 70/30 split that I prefer. It has a lovely front and I think I can actually afford it, unlike another ultra expensive brand that I've been looking at.
I know nothing about this brand and cannot find a showroom that carries it anywhere near where I am. I would have to order it sight unseen from the internet. I would appreciate any information that you have on this sink. If you have one and could show me a picture of yours that would even be better!
Opps, I forgot to mention that it's a fireclay sink. Here's an example of it in a single bowl configuation.
Traditional Kitchen design by Denver Kitchen And Bath Angela Otten; WmOhs Showrooms Inc
Thats my sink in the picture. It's not installed yet but looks beautiful and sturdy. Plumber gave a thumbs up.
What is cool about the sink is it is reversible. Fluted on one side and smooth with a thicker 2" rim on the opposite side. Of course DH and I have the disagreement. Of course I let him choose. Goodbye flutes.
Now I've never had fireclay before but cant tell the difference between this and a GF's Shaws
I recall a number of threads mentioning Whitehaus sinks - I'll link one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Thread about Whitehaus Sinks
I'm actually considering a whitehaus sink myself. The front runner is still the whitehaven, but I may not be able to have full counter depth and need to consider options that are not so wide front to back.
Is there any difference in durability long term between that and a shaw's? Or is it just the name and the look that causes the price increase. I swear I've read every post on this site regarding white farmhouse sinks at least 3 times and still don't know what to do.
I don't know,if the Rohl/Shaw sinks are sturdier, I've seen a few posts about issues with them as well.
The Whitehaus is one of the only apron front sinks w the 2 bowl configuration that split unevenly. It also has a prettier shape and the lovely fronts that many others don't, plus they're less expensive! I wish I could see one in person. Do you live near a showroom?
Wow, we're an indecisive bunch! My friend was over the other night as I was discussing these finer points of sink selection and she just rolled her eyes and said "buy one already"! I'm not usually indecisive but I never knew that sinks has become so expensive with so many options.
I found a note I'd written to myself after reading a gazillion posts about sinks in the past week. My conclusion was not to buy one because there had been problems with this company. Do a search, and you'll find the old threads where people describe their problems with these cracking.
We'll we went through the same dilemma.. I just knew that I loved the farmhouse style period. Yes we installed granite counter tops too so we had that to consider. The one and only thing that scared me the most was it being fire clay and that it might chip. Drove an hour away to the only whitehaus show room. Loved it! The store wanted over 1,100 for it. I ordered it , very nervously from vintage tub and bath.com for just under $700. They were so wonderful I plan on ordering from them again. In that price I got the grid and drain. The sinks an investment so the stainless steel grid is a must.
I have had no problems cleaning it or chips/ marks. I only had it installed for 4 month. Everyone loves the sink. Only bad thing is I lost some room under the sink.
I've had the Whitehaus single bowl for 3 or 4 years. I bought mine from bluebath.com. At the time I bought mine EVERYONE bought a Shaw's for considerably more money. There were some comments but since it was my money I was spending I went ahead and got the Whitehaus at bluebath. Everything is fine. I did buy a grate later. I've read some people run COLD water into their sink before they pour boiling water from the potatoes or spaghetti but that made no sense to me. If you are afraid of cracking it, wouldn't you pour hot water into it first? Less of a temperature change. I don't do either. I just dump the hot or cold water in it and go about my business. I bought the single bowl so I could wash the roaster and pressure cooker. I have a dishwasher and rarely wash anything by hand so the single bowl works better for me.

Captain David Anderson's Dolphin and Whale Safari, Associated Press
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Grab your camera and binoculars: There's rarely been a better time to go whale-watching off the California coast.
Tourists from around the world have been flocking to Monterey Bay to catch a glimpse of the massive marine mammals, including impressive numbers of blue whales, the largest animals on earth.
Longtime observers say they've seen a sharp increase in endangered blue and humpback whales feeding near California shores, where they spend the spring and summer before heading to their winter breeding grounds off Mexico and Central America.
"It's phenomenal that these humongous creatures are out there and we just get to go out on a boat and go out and watch them," said Santa Cruz resident Susan Stuart after a recent whale-watching cruise.
What's bringing the whales so close to shore? A bumper harvest of their favorite food: tiny, shrimplike critters known as krill.
Strong northwest winds have been pushing up cold, nutrient-rich waters from the ocean bottom — a phenomenon known as upwelling. That has fueled blooms of phytoplankton that have led to an explosion of krill, the main food source of blue and humpback whales.
"The season overall has been pretty exceptional and we're not done," said Nancy Black, a marine biologist with Monterey Bay Whale Watch, which offers bay cruises twice daily.
The abundance of whales has been a boon to boat tour operators in Monterey Bay, whose deep underwater canyon makes it one of the best places to see whales, dolphins and other marine life.
"The word is out right now. If you want to see a whale or blue whale or several species of whale, now's the time to go for sure," said Ken Stagnaro, co-owner, Santa Cruz Whale Watching, who estimates business has doubled this year over last year.
But the rebound in whale populations has led to a new problem: more collisions with the giant cargo ships heading in and out of San Francisco Bay, one of the world's busiest ports, experts say.
"When a ship strikes a whale, it's usually not a good outcome. Often times the vertebrae are broken and the whale dies," said Maria Brown, superintendent of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
Federal officials are working with conservation groups and the shipping industry on a plan to help protect the whales around San Francisco Bay. They want to reroute ship traffic and improve tracking of whales to reduce collisions.
Conservationists want to ensure that future generations get a chance to see the world's largest animals.
"When you see a whale in the wild, it's a life changing experience," said Maureen Gilbert, an on-board naturalist for Santa Cruz Whale Watching. "You're never the same person after you've had that kind of encounter with a wild animal."

Talk of the siting of a new arena is in full swing now. It seems like all of Milwaukee is a-buzz. While a number of potential sites are on the map, the Park East still makes sense.
Published June 26, 2014
Today, board members and staff of the Wisconsin Center District (WCD) - which owns and operates the Milwaukee Arena (formerly the U.S. Cellular Arena), Wisconsin Center and Milwaukee Theatre - announced a new, official sponsor and partner for the Milwaukee Arena: UWM.

If it seems like big projects Downtown are coming at us like spray from a paint gun, you're right. It is obvious that Milwaukee is moving. The only question that really seems to remain is just who is driving this train and where is it going?
BloodCenter of Wisconsin is teaming up with the Milwaukee Bucks to host the 15th Annual Milwaukee Bucks Blood Drive. The drive will be held Monday, March 23, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, 1001 N. 4th St., Milwaukee. Donors may call 1-877-BE-A-HERO (1-877-232-4376) or visit ww...

So - who is at the pre-party right now, or heading over to the 'preview practice' at 7 at the Bradley Center? And, what do you expect to see with so many Bucks key players out with injury? I'm sure Brandon Jennings will do some fun stuff for you, maybe Andrew Bogut w...

2014 CMT Music Awards Nominees
The 2014 CMT Music Awards nominees have been announced, and Miranda Lambert leads the nominations with an astounding six nods!
The 2014 CMT Music Awards nominees have been announced, and Miranda Lambert leads the nominations with an astounding six nods!
Earlier this week Rascal Flatts revealed new tracks from their 'Rewind' album during a live performance for Taste of Country readers, filmed at Zac Brown's Southern Ground Studios.
We all know of singers who have lip-synched in concert and other live performances. It's just that you don't normally get a confession from the artists that they actually didn't sing live!
Country fans, the wait is over! The complete list of big names to present and perform at the 2014 ACM Awards has been announced!
Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes will kick off ACM Week in Las Vegas with a free show on Thursday, April 3, at the new LINQ on Las Vegas Blvd.
The Academy of Country Music has announced the winners of non-televised awards for the 49th annual ACM Awards.
What do you get when you blend country favorite Dierks Bentley with pop-rock band OneRepublic? Another great edition of 'CMT Crossroads!'
Rascal Flatts won't be lounging at home, relaxing in the sunshine this summer. Instead, the trio will be touring the nation on their 2014 Rewind Tour.
Jake Owen and the Zac Brown Band won't be wearing mouth-guards and cleats for Super Bowl 48, but they will be tackling the stage (well, rocking the boat, actually,) during separate performances.
Eric Church is anything but a cookie cutter artist. He thrives on coloring outside of the lines, as proven by a creepy new video teasing what's to come from him in 2014.

Linguine with Spring Green Veggies Primavera
Serves: 4 to 6
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Corn-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free
This dish is a joyful tour through the late spring produce: tender asparagus stalks, two or three kinds of peas, bright arugula and baby spinach.
- 8 ounces fresh linguine Add to list
- Extra virgin olive oil Add to list
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced leeks Add to list
- 3 cloves garlic, minced Add to list
- 4 to 6 asparagus spears, tough ends removed and cut into thin slices on a long diagonal Add to list
- 1/2 cup sugar snap peas, cut in half on the diagonal Add to list
- 1/2 cup snow peas, cut in half on the diagonal Add to list
- 1/4 cup shelled English peas (optional) Add to list
- 1 1/2 cups arugula Add to list
- 1 1/2 cups baby spinach Add to list
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped basil leaves Add to list
- 1/2 cup chèvre cheese Add to list
- 1/4 cup cooked and chopped bacon (optional) Add to list
- Salt and pepper, to taste Add to list
- Shaved Parmesan cheese, for garnish Add to list
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook linguine according to the package directions, until it is just barely al dente. Err on the side of undercooked since it is going to be folded into the hot sauce. Drain but don't rinse.
In a heavy sauté pan, heat about 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat and add the leeks, garlic, asparagus and peas. Stir-fry this mixture for about 2 minutes or until the veggies are bright green. Toss in the arugula, spinach, basil, chèvre and bacon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Fold the hot pasta into the mixture and drizzle with a little additional olive oil, if desired. Toss to heat through and serve immediately. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Loved it
Magnet street was not the first place my fiance and I looked for our invitations and save the dates. When we did find them, though, we loved them. The website made it super easy to customize our stuff, and we played with lots of colors and fonts. To top it off, the cards were inexpensive but the quality was great. I love what we got, and so do my guests!
Unique Magnet Save-the-Date
My fiancé and I are having a Irish-Indian fusion wedding, and the playful Indian Style caricature save-the-dates helped us to set the exact tone for our upcoming nuptials. The variety of colour selections helped make our card as vibrant and fun-loving as our personalities, and the magnet format seemed perfect for that constant "fridge" reminder. Online designing & proofing was easy, and delivery was exceptionally fast. We paired the magnet with a carrier card, with our wedding website information printed on it, which was easy to assemble and all fit nicely into the included foil lined envelopes. Overall, I am quite pleased with the finished product, and can't wait to hear/see the reactions of our guests to our playful design!
Save the date magnets
We loved the idea of save the date magnets so I spent a couple weeks researching different companies. The prices and quality of their product are top notch and we are very pleased with the results. They arrived in time and in perfect condition and I love how flexible they are with the wording and color pallet. Next step is ordering the matching invitations. I suggest ordering the "Only one" so you can see the quality for yourself ( we are very pleased with that as well.) I am very impressed with the level of service we have received thus far and will definitely recommend them to others.
Simple and Elegant
My fiance and I didn't want anything too extravagant or expensive. These save the dates were perfect. They are a bit thin, but stuck to the fridge with know problem. I was afraid the font would be too small, but that wasn't a problem at all. We found them to be very classy, understated and the perfect way to start letting guests know about our wedding.
These turned out great! They were reasonably priced, and when they arrived they came with extras, including a style book that has been a great help to me!

the drive cycle is drive 5 mins at 45 mph without touching brk slow to below 25 mph then back to 45 mins again for 5 mins all without touching brk pedal. the o2 might take several cold starts if the heater circuit was the 02 code.this all assumes the issues were repair correctly
ReplyPavan_R, May 05, 2012, 02:41Rookie
I realized that the O2 sensor when not ready can cause the catalyst monitor to not run & report as not ready. So most likely my problem is with O2 sensor - what is the drive pattern to get that ready?

The hotel is a wonderful spot. It looks relatively new and is much
larger than I expected. The rooms are large, very clean, and well
After many negative experiences with self-check in at places in France, it was a relief to have someone at the front desk 24 hours a day.
Parking in a secure lot with your own personal garage was a mere 8 euros a night -- a steal, in my opinion, and well worth it.
Highly recommended! - Anonymous
The hotel was very good, the room was relatively clean and comfortable. Especially the receptionist was nice and very helpful. I enjoyed my stay. - Anonymous
The staff was outstanding. My wife became very ill while on our cruise ship and the staff at Seven Urban Suites did everything in their power to help. They are excellent. Charlotte was so helpful and the other members of the front desk were extremely helpful - Anonymous
Everything was really good! We got a good price via booking and didn't regret staying there. It's 5min from the metro station, we parked our car in a public parking just in front of the hotel (in any case hotel has a parking with really reasonable price). The area where hotel is is agreable and much better than stating in city center. Staff was helpful, friendly... I couldn't say anything bad about this place!!! Big recomend!! - Anonymous
Very well located pretty close to the subway, safe aerea, good wi-fi internet conection and confy rooms. - Tatiana
The room was quite big compared to other ibis franchises.
The bathroom was well equipped.
The room was cleaned everyday (we stayed for 3 days).
Very comfortable and location was very good as it was just a 3 min walk to castallane metro. The bus 21 to calanques also started from there.
Very friendly staff. recommended what and where we could go on a rainy day :) - Anonymous
Everything you'd expect from a Holiday Inn. Clean, friendly employees, felt very safe. We were just passing through, so the location was great as it's just across the street from the central train station, which also has the metro, so you can get to anywhere else in the city from there with a quick subway ride. - Anonymous

Metro station and supermarkets nearby; fully equipped kitchen; clean room and comfortable bed; quite big music library in TV; also the hospital near and so-called noise is not a problem at all (you can hardly hear anything from outside the room); receptionists were kind and spoke english (what an exception in France!) - Anonymous

Sue and her husband stayed for one night to enjoy New Year's Eve in Newcastle. Even though our paths did not cross - the communication was great and the place was left very tidy. They would be welcome back!
Sue & Norman were wonderful guest. We would recommend them to anyone to host them. They were happy to stay in there room and plan there next travel plans for the following day. We would of like to have more time with them per usual but we got home late from another appointment.
Lovely having Sue & Norman stay again. Wonderful friendly guests, welcome back anytime.
Sue booked this room for Mualla. It was a pleasure to meet Mualla - she is a very lovely lady. Very easy to chat with - although we only chatted briefly. I found Mualla a delightful guest and recommend her as a excellent airbnb guest.
It was pleasure to meet Sue & Norman. Lovely friendly and easy to chat with. Enjoyed their company for the brief stay they had with us. They are polite, respectful, considerate, neat & tidy - excellent airbnb guests. Happy to have them stay anytime.
Sue and Norman were a pleasure to have in our guest house. They were super friendly, fun people that were very easy to get along with. They left the place immaculate and we would happily host them again and recommend them both to future hosts.
Sue and Norman were great at communicating leading up to their stay. They were both friendly and relaxed to be with and we shared a great sense of humor and lots of laughs. I'm sure they will be back sometime having "discovered airbnb and South West Rocks" . They were great conversationalists and had lots of interesting travel tales that they were only too willing to share. My kind of people who felt like old friends although we had just met. I would welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them as house guests at any airbnb home.
