Travel in Rajasthan, India: A Journey of the Senses
Opening Scene: Backdrop and History
The Rajasthan landscape flies by outside the car window. A wash of sandy beige interrupted by dazzling color: the bright-orange turban tightly coiled on the head of a passing motorcyclist, women clad in magenta or turquoise saris with water jugs balanced on their heads, carts of lemons piled high. And the ubiquitous water buffalo and Brahmin cows with their cute, dropping ears.
Even on a short trip to India, it's easy to become intoxicated by the country's chaotic energy, noise, and cultural history. Rajasthan's temples, palaces and forts are architecturally magnificent. The bazaars are brimming with handicrafts and clothes you'll see in trendy Soho boutiques (marked up umpteen hundred times.) But more than that, traveling through Rajasthan is an experience of the senses: tiny clay pots of sugary chai tea, the smells of spices and sweet fragrances, the kaleidoscope of color in the markets, delectable tastes dancing on the tongue. It's a constant sensory explosion.
Rajasthan's history is shrouded in myth. For over 1,000 years, the northwestern desert state was fiercely guarded by the Rajput clans. These legendary warriors defended their turf with a serious code of chivalry and honor. Thus Rajasthan remained independent from all the encroaching great empires throughout history. Indeed, Rajasthan's city of Jaisalmer was the last kingdom to succumb to British colonization.
No longer just a budget backpacker's paradise, India has become an inspiration for the international jet-set as well. Rajasthan's beautiful Palace hotels can make anyone feel like a modern-day maharajah. The winter is the perfect time to make the trip; the monsoon rains are kept at bay for at least half a year. Hire a driver, bring out the map, and dream up your perfect itinerary.
Take a Trip to Rajasthan, India
Today is devoted to travel in Rajasthan. I've outlined a circular itinerary through the mythical land of the Maharajahs that I hope will entice you to click and scroll away. But what have I missed? Where would you go, what would you see, on a winter's trip through India's cultural oasis? Would you endorse a camel-trek into the dunes of the Thar desert, fully-aware of the sore ass that results, and the nasty stink that the camels emit with each clomp through the sand?

From Singapore to Hong Kong: Shopping Festivals Across Asia
Check this out. A recent article in the International Herald Tribune highlighted a fantastic new trend: shopping wars escalating across Asia. With every big city in Asia competing to draw tourists, shopping festivals have become the focus of retail-themed vacations. July's Great Singapore Sale generated incredible retail sales and record visitor arrivals. For the eight-week shopping fest, 1.9 million tourists indulged in tourism-shopping sprees. And these folks know how to shop. Apparently, more than half tourist expenditure went to shopping. Likewise, Kuala Lumpur has consolidated three discount shopping periods into the six-week Mega Sale Carnival, running from the end of July to the beginning of September. Not to be outdone, Hong Kong has created its own HK Shopping Festival, which transformed the usual slow end-of-summer-season into another peak travel season. Bangkok's Amazing Thailand Grand Sale also runs during June and July.
What does this mean for consumers? Aggressive marketing campaigns and hefty competition means consumers score big with competitive pricing, give-aways and promotional gimmicks, like free foot massages in Malaysia and Lucky Draw prizes in HK (including diamonds and luxury watches.)
PS. In case you missed the summer's shopping extravaganzas, never fear. The Dubai Shopping Festival takes place from January 4 to February 5, and includes raffle prize give-aways worth $2.7 million, 100 kilograms of gold and 10 cars.
Special Offers: The Connaught in London
Situated in the heart of Mayfair, surrounded by charming antique stores, boutiques, and public gardens, the Connaught is a hop and a skip from London's Bond Street stores and all of the best theaters, museums and parks. The 67 rooms and 24 suites boast sitting rooms with open fires and exquisite antiques. But what I'm really lovin' is 24 hour concierge service and butler service on every floor. (And the Penthouse balcony overlooking the Mayfair rooftops, accessed through French windows from the sitting room.) The restaurant MENU, the mahogany-panelled interior designed by Nina Campbell, offers award-winning cuisine by Angela Hartnett. From now until December 31st, check out this special offer. The Inspirational Interiors Weekend is a brand new weekend promotion for those with a taste for Interior Design. Guests are greeted with a bottle of champagne in their room, along with a Connaught handbook of the chicest places to shop. In addition, guests have the option of a chauffeured car service for two hours (additional fee). The Inspirational Interiors weekend is available any Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

P.S. The Five Best Islands to Live on
Courtesy-- again-- of Island Magazine. Any that didn't make the list? What's your tropical dream?
Islands Mag November Events Calendar
Islands Magazine has put together a pretty snazzy events calendar for this November. Their picks? Hawaii, for the incredible star-gazing of the Taurid meteor showers. (You've never seen falling stars like this!) Moorea, on November 3-6, for Tattoonesia, the island's first International Tattoo Convention. (Ooops, the revival has already come and gone.) St. Barts on November 16, to taste the first Beaujolais Nouveau wine of the year (six hours ahead of France, confined to the traditional midnight uncorking). And Australia, on November 4-13, for the Whitsunday Fantasea Reef Festival, celebrating the marvels of the Great Barrier Reef.
Indoor Water Parks Open in the Northeast: Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos
Live in the Northeast? Don't worry about flying to Florida this winter when you can take your swimsuit to a water park!, a recent AP article counseled. Hmmm, a lodge in the Poconos vs. Miami Beach. Somehow-- I muse-- it's not quite the same thing… But read on, loyal reader, the concept is pretty sweet. The park in question just opened in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains (very convenient to the whole Megalopolis of the East Coast), and another one is opening soon in New York's Adirondacks. Great Wolf Lodge is a 78,000 sq ft indoor water park, with 401 suites (log cabin style), an arcade, spa, restaurants and fitness center. This is a full-service family resort, and the kids go gaga over the water park's 11 slides, wave pool, winding river, and whirlpools. The price ranges from $189 in the off season to $569 for a luxury suite during the holiday peak.
New York's 8th Annual Chocolate Show
Though perhaps a bit trite after my last news alert, I can't resist passing on the news about New York's Chocolate Show. I missed the fashion show opening on the 10th, but Gridskipper and Luxist provided nice descriptive reviews, and reading about it is half the fun! Hurry over to the Metropolitan Pavilion, to get your chocolate fix, before it closes on the 13th.
U.S. Embassy in Beijing Warns of Attacks in Four and Five Star Hotels in China
Devastating news about Al Qaeda's suicide bombers attacking Jordan Hotels (the four- and five-star Radisson SAS, Days Inn and Grand Hyatt) yesterday. After these sickening acts of terrorism, the U.S. embassy in Beijing has issued warnings of attacks at four- and five-star hotels across China.
George Clooney's Las Ramblas, Las Vegas
This is no Vegas heist. George Clooney has graduated from robbing Vegas casinos on film, to actually developing them. Clooney, along with night-club extraordinaire Rande Gerber, Related Las Vegas and Centra Properties, have partnered to create Las Ramblas—a $3 billion luxury hotel-condo-casino complex. Its namesake, the legendary boulevard in Barcelona, inspired the urban plan of an outdoor pedestrian promenade lined with European cafes and boutiques. (So guests can feel like they're actually walking through a city! How novel.) The 25-acre development is situated along Harmon Avenue, just west of the Hard Rock. Along with 4,400 hotel and condo units, Las Ramblas will have a 30,000 sq-ft spa, swimming pools, upscale shopping and a 40,000 sq-ft casino. Not to mention the best and chic-est nightlife. After all, these are the guys whose After Midnight Company (evolved from The Whiskey Bar brand) has helped revolutionize and innovate nightlife across the country. Scheduled to open in 2008. Strict dress code, folks.

Celebrating Yuri Gagarin's 1961 Flight Into Space 124
from the to-go-boldly dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Yuri did an amazing thing
Not to be pedantic, but Yuri didn't actually do anything. Vostok 1 was fully automatic from lift-off to bail out.
Yeah, and Neil Armstrong was just a glorified pilot. I've been on holidays several times on planes, what's so special about the Moon?
Talk about sour grapes.
Imagine if engineers and scientists on each side had been allowed to say to the other, "Dude, let's work together on this one."
They wouldn't have received any funding. Let's recap. Goddard basically created modern rocketry. No one would fund him. He created the then definitive works on the subject. WWII started and his work was basically ignored by the allies despite his efforts. Germany took his efforts and created the stepping stones for modern missiles, rockets, and manned flight. It was funded by war. Post WWII, Germans taken in by both the US and Russia created the manned flight programs, which in turn were funded by war or the fear of war. Remember, manned flight was an excuse to justify massive spending to create ICMBs.
So basically, "working together" almost never receives funding unless there is yet another underlying cause allowing the first to be used as a public excuse.
Hell, the US-German program was so successful and the US program was so unsuccessful, the US-German program was literally mothballed and prevented from launching so as to allow the pure-US effort a chance as well as to allow the Russian's time to actually launch Sputnik to as to create an internal overflight precedence. Once Sputnik was launched, which created much ire and fear of the US public, much to the surprise of the US Cabinet, and after repeated US failures, the German program was removed from mothballs. The US-German program was taken directly from mothballs to the launch pad, and successfully launched. The US-German program was mothballed roughly a year before Sputnik was launched into space.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com: Arizona Cardinals Stepfan Taylor could surprise as a rookie
Tyrann Mathieu is the Arizona Cardinal rookie garnering the most attention.
The team's third-round pick, the former LSU Tiger and Heisman Trophy finalist has been making plays all over the field, and is even set to start Saturday's preseason game in place of an injured Rashad Johnson.
However, Mathieu is hardly the only first-year player on the roster, and he's not the only one who may make an impact, as first-round pick Jonathan Cooper is expected to start at left guard and linebacker Kevin Minter will likely see considerable playing time at linebacker. But it is running back Stepfan Taylor who earned an NFL.com nod as a rookie ready to surprise this season.
Wrote Chris Wesseling:
The fifth-rounder out of Stanford arrived in the desert as an NFL-ready pass protector and route runner, two qualities often lacking in rookie tailbacks. With a snakebitten Ryan Williams facing the roster guillotine, Taylor could enter the season behind only Rashard Mendenhall on the depth chart. Considering Mendenhall's durability issues, Taylor might be thrust into the featured back role before the end of the season.
Taylor finished college as Stanford's all-time leading rusher, and ran for 1,530 yards with 13 touchdowns as a senior. He tallied 64 yards on 20 carries in last Friday's preseason opener, and along with Alfonso Smith has been the only Cardinals running back not to miss time with injury since camp began.

5 Free Agents The Philadelphia Eagles Should Target This Offseason
5 Free Agents To Target This Offseason
The NFL's free agency period is right around the corner and the Philadelphia Eagles are primed to be one of the busier teams in the league when the calendar flips to March. They have many of their own pending free agents to make decisions on.
They will also undoubtedly at least dip their toe into the free agent pool, as there are upgrades to be had, especially on the defensive side of the ball. The Eagles have a real chance to improve themselves.
There are some big names that also happen to be young that are bound to cash in on some big pay days. The question is, does Eagles general manager Howie Roseman want to go down that road again?
The last time the Eagles shopped big in free agency it ended up burning them. Guys like Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Cullen Jenkins didn't end up working out, despite hefty price tags and only a few seasons later the Birds ended up parting with all of them.
Roseman now has the council of a man named Tom Gamble, who is vice president of player personnel. He is key in guiding Roseman in the right direction. Gamble's San Francisco 49ers teams were for the most part home grown and built through the draft, and he is a huge part of their current success.
This is what the Eagles are trying to get back to. I wouldn't expect a splurge in free agency. However, that doesn't mean that they can't plug some holes in free agency without completely breaking the bank.
Let's take a look at five free agents the Philadelphia Eagles should target this offseason.
5. Jarius Byrd
Jarius Byrd is a ball hawking machine at the safety position. He always seems to be around the ball and has a knack for making plays, specifically interceptions. There are questions, however, about his health and potential astronomical contract demands. If he is in the Eagles' price range, he would be a great get and an instant upgrade at the safety position.
4. Greg Hardy
Greg Hardy is turning into one of the league's elite pass rushers and, at only 25, will be a force for many years to come.
The real question is money, as there will be a ton of teams after him. He would be a monster acquisition for the Eagles, but I am not sure they want to splurge on one player, like they have in years past.
3. Brian Orakpo
Brian Orakpo is a premium pass rusher who you can pencil in for double digit sacks almost every season. At only 27, he is also still a young commodity. Depending on his contract demands, Orakpo would be a slam dunk signing for the Eagles.
2. Jeremy Maclin
When healthy, Jeremy Maclin would be a huge boost to the Philadelphia Eagles' receiving corps. While their is a deep pool of receivers in both free agency and the draft, Maclin already knows Chip Kelly's system and is a reliable and steady receiver opposite DeSean Jackson. It would be wise for the Birds to re-sign Maclin.
1. T.J. Ward
Chip Kelly is very familiar with T.J. Ward. The Oregon product has continued to improve each and every year. He is young, at 27, and he may not have the insane price tag a guy like Jarius Byrd does. In many ways, Ward would be the perfect signing for the Eagles, as he would fill a need without the Eagles having to break the bank.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Province loses 'tremendous premier'
Roblin hailed as visionary leader
The Greatest Manitoban died late Sunday afternoon almost at the moment that Duff's Ditch was once again rescuing Winnipeg.
Duff Roblin, our 14th premier from 1958 to 1967, died about 6 p.m. Sunday in Victoria General Hospital with his daughter Jennifer by his side, said Roblin's longtime friend Bill Neville.
Roblin, who would have turned 93 next month, will be forever remembered for relentlessly pursuing and achieving his vision of a floodway to carry the Red River around the city of Winnipeg, a quest he launched as an opposition backbencher shortly after the devastating 1950 flood.
Sunday afternoon was one of the countless times the floodway has been operated to avert possible disaster after near-record rainfall this weekend unleashed torrents of water into the Red.
When the Winnipeg Free Press published The Greatest Manitobans book in 2008, the province's citizens named Roblin as our Greatest Manitoban.
Roblin was ridiculed mercilessly in the early 1950s, recalled Neville: "It was unnecessary, it wouldn't work, or it would cost too much, or all three."
Roblin went on to become premier in 1958, the promise of a floodway one of his key election planks. And Roblin lived every politician's dream of being derided, struggling, and eventually being vindicated, said Neville.
Vindicated indeed.
Flood-threatened communities from all over North America come here to study Duff's Ditch, provincial flood forecaster Alf Warkentin said Sunday.
The floodway was ready for the ominous 1969 flood, Warkentin said. "We've had about 10 serious floods that the floodway has protected the city from," none more potentially catastrophic than the 1997 Flood of the Century.
"It's a great loss — he was a tremendous premier... He was, in modern language, a man who governed for everyone," Premier Greg Selinger said Sunday night. "He was a great premier and a great Canadian."
Neville, a history professor at the University of Manitoba, said Roblin felt his greatest contribution to Manitoba was not the floodway, but the changes he made to education: taking the long-standing system in which every individual school in the province had its own school board, and creating the modern system of school divisions.
"The creation of Brandon University and the University of Winnipeg (from colleges) began on his watch, the beginning of the community college system," Neville said.
"He made Manitoba a more modern place to live — his greatest contribution was to the schools," Selinger agreed.
When Roblin began his nine years as premier in 1958, Roblin said, "Education is not a cost or a bill or expense but a wholesome investment in human life, growth and comprehension."
It was Roblin who promoted French-language education, Selinger pointed out.
And, said Selinger, "He modernized hospitals.
"He was a progressive conservative, with the emphasis on progressive," said Selinger, who was struck by Roblin's sense of dignity.
"In a way, you felt like you always knew him," Selinger said.
Neville profiled Roblin in The Manitoba Encyclopedia. "No question, the floodway caught the public imagination," Neville said.
Neville said while Roblin did not seek out the spotlight, former premier Gary Doer "made a point of keeping Duff in the loop for every aspect of the floodway," especially the expansion now underway, and invited Roblin to attend major events.
Hugh McFadyen, leader of the Manitoba Progressive Conservative Party, said this morning: "Duff Roblin was voted the greatest Manitoban for a reason. He faced down opposition to build the floodway. He began the building of modern Manitoba.
Our hydro, education and road systems are all parts of his remarkable legacy. His profound optimism about our province's untapped potential inspire a whole new generation of Manitobans.
"Over the past few years I have appreciated his thoughtful advice on the major challenges facing our province today. He was a gentleman in every sense. My condolences go out to his family and close friends."
Former Conservative premier Gary Filmon saw Roblin as his mentor.
"I met him when I was running for city council, he was a constituent of mine," said Filmon, who said Roblin would not outright tell Filmon if he had Roblin's vote.
"I had the pleasure of playing squash with him. We'd sit in the locker room, with towels around, and talk politics," said Filmon.
"There are so many legacies," and while many people will forever link Roblin to the floodway, said Filmon, it was Roblin who introduced regional secondary schools and community colleges.
Filmon said when his government launched a review of the entire postsecondary system in the 1990s, it was obvious no one knew more about colleges and universities than Roblin: "The people at Red River College, to this day, credit their expansion to that report," said Filmon.
"I'm very, very saddened."
As the book The Greatest Manitobans noted, Roblin's government was a busy one. It brought in a regional government for Winnipeg, crop insurance for farmers, new highways to access the north and a social allowance program to help the province's most needy. There was also the creation of two new provincial parks, Grand Beach and Birds Hill — two of the most popular parks in the province today.
Less popular was the Roblin government's introduction of a provincial sales tax.
Then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau appointed Roblin to the Senate in 1978, where he served until his retirement in 1992 at age 75.
To relieve stress during long days, Roblin played the bagpipes in his office. "The cleaning staff soon got used to it," he quipped in his 1999 autobiography.
Neville said Roblin had been ill for about eight months, but his health had declined markedly in the last three weeks.
Roblin is survived by wife Mary, two children and five grandchildren. The Roblins had lived in the same River Heights house for the past 35 years.
No funeral arrangements have been made yet.
— With files from Laurie Bailey, Margo Goodhand, Bruce Owen and Aldo Santin
- Duff Roblin was born in Winnipeg in 1917, the grandson of Sir Rodmond Roblin, who was Manitoba's premier from 1900 to 1915.
- He served overseas with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War and retired in 1946 as Wing Commander.
- He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in 1949.
- He became leader of the provincial Conservatives in 1954.
- Four years later, Roblin led his party to success in the first of four Manitoba elections and was premier until 1967 when he resigned.
- In 1967, Roblin was a leadership candidate for the federal Conservative party. He lost to Robert Stanfield.
- In 1978, Roblin was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. He became Leader of the Government in the Senate under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
- In 1992, he retired from the Senate at age 75.
"If you asked him, he'd say education was his greatest accomplishment, the reorganization of the school system"
— Manitoba historian Bill Neville
"He made Manitoba a more modern place to live — his greatest contribution was to the schools."
— Premier Greg Selinger
"Duff was truly a visionary. The irony is that one of the best things he'll be known for is the floodway but any time I spoke to Duff he said 'Don't underestimate the power of education.' "
— former Conservative leader
Stuart Murray
"Duff Roblin led a Conservative administration the likes we've not seen elsewhere in Canada and not likely to see again. It was positive in every respect. He brought Manitoba into the modern era, with desired changes in education, hospital finance, roads, social assistance and flood protection."
— former Manitoba premier Ed Schreyer
"The first time I saw Duff Roblin was when I was a member of the Youth Parliament in the 1950s and he spoke to us. I was quite impressed with his oratory and his ability to communicate."
— former Manitoba premier Howard Pawley
"As far as Manitoba is concerned, Duff Roblin made the Conservatives a progressive Conservative party."
— former Manitoba NDP minister Sidney Green

Awards At Winter NAMM 2014

First off, congratulations to the Avid Pro Tools 11 team on winning the TEC Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement in Workstation Technology!

What this means is that you, my friends, supporters and customers, have been thoughtful enough to ask that PhoenixVerb be considered for this award. I thank you as sincerely as I possibly can. This audio community is a special little town to live in and I'm happy to be a part of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Charges Faced by Former Municipal Prosecutor Pete Kisken
City Bans Fireworks for Fourth of July
That snap, crackle and pop has a little less pizzazz this fourth of July in La Crosse. The city has banned fireworks because of dry conditions. Not just the normally illegal fireworks that explode or shoot up into the sky, rockets-red-glare style, but the package of fourth of July poppers from Kmart. Dry conditions from extreme heat and no rain for a couple of weeks has led the mayor and the fire department to put a ban on all burning outdoors, including fireworks. The fireworks display shot from Pettibone park in La Crosse will not be affected by the ban and, because it would be almost impossible to do the fourth without burgers, brats and dogs, grilling will also be allowed under the fire ban.
Lights Now, Seats Later For Hollywood Theater
The revival of the Hollywood Theater in La Crosse could take a couple of years...but the process is taking small steps ahead.
Attorney and businessman Phil Addis first toured the vacant theater three months ago after buying it at auction. Now, he's been able to find which light fixtures are working, including some of the neon and Art Deco fixtures in the lobby. Addis also has been shopping for new theater seats. He thinks the theater could hold about 600 modern seats, compared to the thousand or so that were removed from the Hollywood years ago.
Some Towns Under Burn Bans
Burning any combustible materials outdoors in the Town of Bergen or Village of Stoddard is prohibited. The risk for wildfires in these areas is very high and there's little relief in sight in the near future with the current weather pattern. Until conditions significantly improve, this ban will be in place.
That applies to burn piles and burn barrels; all campfires unless in developed camping areas disposing any matches, ashes, charcoal briquettes, or any burning materials into the outdoors; and all fireworks. Remember to dispose of any cigars, cigarettes, or pipes in a designated receptacle.
The Town of Bergen And Village of Stoddard on conjunction this the Stoddard-Bergen Fire Department will issue a Burning Ban when the Current Fire Danger reaches "Very High" (orange) or "Extreme" (red) These levels are set by the Forestry Department from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Recourses.
Power Grid Holding It's Own So Far
Xcel Energy says we're getting close to peaking the power grid. Hot temperatures have forced some to crank up their air conditioners and some leave them on all night. Brian Elwood of Xcel Energy.
Elwood says we only had a three day stretch last year where the power grid was dinged....with at least 3 more days of the high temps to go...he says this could get interesting.
Tomah Man facing 18 Counts Of Prostitution
A Tomah man, who several witnesses said will basically do anything to get sex from women, was in a Monroe County courtroom Monday. 53 year old Mark Clay listened as Judge Todd Ziegler read off 29 counts against the man. 18 of them dealing with prostitution. The others dealing with threats, battery and drug dealing.
Prosecutors contend that over the past couple of years, Clay would offer women around Tomah sex in exchange for cash, drugs and alcohol. Police also found in his apartment, over 40 pairs of used women's underwear, that they claim Clay purchased from women in bars for up to $40 a pair. They were found in bags that were labeled with the woman's name and date he got them. Naked pictures were also found of area women, some Clay apparently paid them to take. It all came to a climax when Clay was arrested for assaulting a bartender in a bathroom at a Tomah bar recently. He's free on a cash bond.

Help Identify This Leaf!
Would love help identifying this leaf (see attached pic)...
These plants are popping up all over my property... they are woody, and not particularly attractive... kind of spindly and tall, bowed over in a lot of cases. Some are over 6 feet at this point. The leaves are 7+ inches.
I'm trying to find out what they are... so I can decide whether to leave them, or start cutting them down!
Any help would be appreciated!
I think you got it Ron!
That would be my guess also.
They grow in the wilder parts of my garden and once in awhile pop up in the more refined areas. Then I treat them as weeds. At the edge of the woods, they fit right in. I like the white blossoms and red berries. They come right back strong the following year after being cut almost to the ground in the Fall.

7 New Uses for an Old Ironing Board
The Ten Commandments of Buying Used Furniture
You see a chair on the curb. It's sitting right in front of your building and it's free. Or, you're at the thrift store and spy a cheap sofa. But something holds you back. You're just. not. quite. sure. If only there were guidelines — holy reminders if you will — of things to keep in mind while looking at used furniture. How do you decide if it's the right thing to re-do? Or if you should run in the other direction?
Achoo! Vintage Handkerchiefs As Decor
One of the only things I took from my Great Aunt Betty's apartment after she died were some of her vintage handkerchiefs. She had stacks of them because she grew up in a time when people actually used handkerchiefs and more than anything else in her home these remind me of her. My own tastes lean modern so for now I'm just going to hold onto them (perhaps I'll try actually using them), but if you, too, have a similar collection and favor a vintage vibe in your home, here are some ideas for how to incorporate them into your decor.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, February 22, 4 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Humphrey Coliseum (10,575) -- Starkville, Mississippi. Television: SEC Network. Home Record: Arkansas 14-2, MSU 11-4. Away Record: Arkansas 1-5, MSU 0-8. Neutral Record: Arkansas 2-2, MSU 2-1. Conference Record: Arkansas 6-7, MSU 3-10. Series Record: Mississippi State leads, 29-25.
GAME NOTES: The Mississippi State Bulldogs will try to put an end to their season-long losing streak on Saturday afternoon when they welcome the Arkansas Razorbacks to Humphrey Coliseum for an SEC showdown.
Arkansas has been trending in the right direction as the regular season begins to wind down, as it has won four of its last five games to improve to 17-9 overall and 6-7 in the SEC. The Razorbacks most recently downed South Carolina at home on Wednesday night, 71-64, but they have not encountered much success on the road (1-5).
Mississippi State has been stuck in a prolonged tailspin with losses in eight straight matchups to fall into a tie for last place in the SEC with South Carolina at 3-10. The Bulldogs dropped a 92-81 decision at LSU on Wednesday to dip to 13-13 overall. They are an impressive 11-4 at home, but they've lost three straight in Starkville.
In regards to the all-time series, Mississippi State holds a 29-25 advantage, although Arkansas won the most recent meeting on Jan. 23, 2013, 72-57 in Fayetteville.
The Razorbacks ran out to an 11-point halftime lead over South Carolina earlier in the week and never broke a sweat in the second half, extending their lead to as many as 17 points before it was all said and done. Although they shot just 37.9 percent from the field on the evening, they held the Gamecocks into just 37.3 percent shooting and forced 19 turnovers. Michael Qualls was the pace setter, shoot 4-of-7 from 3-point range for 20 points to go with eight rebounds. Coty Clarke notched a true double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds while adding four assists and four steals for good measure.
Arkansas boasts the SEC's top scoring offense this season (80.8 ppg), shooting 44.7 percent from the field, 36.3 percent from 3-point range and 71.4 percent at the free-throw line. Its scoring defense (70.5 ppg) has been less than impressive, but it is aided by an outstanding +5.8 turnover margin, which ranks fourth-best in the nation. Bobby Portis mans the frontcourt and puts up 13.1 ppg (on 54.1 percent field goal shooting), 6.6 rpg, 1.5 bpg and 1.1 spg. Rashad Madden (12.8 ppg), Qualls (11.8 ppg), Clarke (9.2 ppg, 5.9 rpg) and Alandise Harris (8.9 ppg) are all regular contributors as well.
The Bulldogs stumbled out of the gate at LSU in their most recent game, as they faced a 14-0 deficit less than four minutes in and never threatened the lead from that point forward. Although they finished with impressive showings from the floor (.500) and at the free-throw line (26-of-36), they made only 3- of-8 from beyond the arc and allowed LSU to shoot 50.8 percent from the floor. Craig Sword was outstanding in the loss with a career-high 33 points on 11- of-16 from the field and 10-of-14 at the line. Gavin Ware tallied a double- double with 10 points and 11 rebounds, while Trivante Bloodman and Roquez Johnson each scored 11.
It's no surprise that Mississippi State has underwhelmed on both ends of the court this season, as it shoots 44.4 percent from the field for 68.3 ppg while yielding 70.5 ppg on 45.1 percent shooting. It has also been a non-factor from long range (4.5 3-pointers per game at a 30 percent clip) and struggles at the stripe (.663). Sword is the go-to scoring option with 13.6 ppg, Ware (10.6 ppg, 7.5 rpg) shoots greater than 60 percent from the field and Johnson (9.3 ppg) and Colin Borchert (9.0 ppg) have also been solid.
Although Mississippi State appears to be outmatched on paper, the Razorbacks' road struggles this season have been well-documented, meaning the Bulldogs will have a decent chance at ending their losing streak. In the end though, Arkansas' superior scoring talent will step up down the stretch.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Arkansas 72, Mississippi State 69
425 Portland Av. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55488
(612) 673-4000

If a patient and partner present to our office with a six-month or one-year history of failure to conceive with no previous testing or treatment, we have been using the V26.21 diagnosis code, as it seems to be most appropriate for the male and female diagnostic testing phase, such as semen analysis, sonohysterogram and egg quality testing.
It seems that giving a female infertility code such as 628.x or 606.x for male infertility would be inappropriate because we don't know yet who is infertile. We have only recently started having problems with this code and only with one major commercial insurer who is stating that we should be using the infertility codes. so it has now raised the question: are we in the right?

These trees are very large. A little too tall for our 8' ceiling but we were able to shorten them by folding the bottom under and shortening the back brace. We should be able to use them again in a larger assembly room by readjusting the back brace. They added a great look for our theme Sunday School and are easier to store than artifical trees.

text: Child Custody Cases in Colorado Denver & Colorado Springs Divorce Attorneys Custody plans, or parenting plans, can be some of the hardest aspects of divorce. Good plans require cooperation from both parents. Parents who put their kids first can develop a tailored parenting plan that is flexible, fair, and in the best interests of their children. Our team at Johnson Márquez Legal Group can help you protect your family throughout this process. Each Denver divorce lawyer on our team is committed to our clients. Learn more about parenting plans in Colorado by reading the following topics: Drugs and crimes Emergency parenting time Transfers Splitting time Best interest of the child Parenting time schedules Supervised time Parenting time Pillars of child custody How is child custody determined? Sample schedules Understanding Parenting Plans We've used the word "custody" here only because that's what most people think of when they talk about time with their kids after a divorce. Colorado law doesn't recognize the word. Instead, we talk about "parenting time" and "decision-making." Parenting time addresses dates, times, places, and scheduling, answering questions such as: How will the week be split up between the two homes? Where will transitions occur? What are the arrangements for holiday parenting time? What will summer schedules look like? The best way to keep a parenting plan from becoming confrontational is to make it extremely detailed. This provides certainty and security. You can always make changes to the parenting time by agreement of the parties. In our experience, the more detail a plan contains, the more likely it is to endure. The less detailed the plan, unanticipated circumstances are more likely to arise and cause conflict. Decision-Making & Parental Plans in Colorado Who decides which school a child attends, which church they go to, which doctor they see? These decisions have lasting effects on the well-being and development of a child. Because of this, courts separately consider each parent's ability to make wise decisions for the child. Decision-making responsibility is allocated accordingly. The court will determine if the parents are able to work together on all decisions, or whether the decision-making responsibility should be divided up. Another consideration for determining decision-making may be a review of how the family reached decisions before the divorce began. How did the parents select the doctor, the school, or the day care? These factors will play a role in the final decision. Fighting Over "Custody" — You Need the Right Lawyer on Your Side "Custody" battles can be the most expensive aspect of a Colorado family law case. Not only do these conflicts exhaust bank accounts, they can work irrevocable harm on the parties and the children. Entering into a high-conflict custody case should be a carefully considered option with realistic goals. Many of these fights are legitimate and necessary. There's no escaping a conflict when you feel your child is in danger, or when the other parent makes false accusations. In these and many other circumstances, parents have little choice but to engage in a legal battle. In these cases, it becomes even more important to use cost-saving measures. Schedule Your Free Consultation at Johnson Márquez Legal Group Today Our team at Johnson Márquez Legal Group is proud to employ numerous cost-saving techniques to benefit our clients. For example, we use the top technology available and keep our fees reasonable. You can trust our firm with your complex case. When the stakes are high, we're prepared to fight for you.

Paraplegic Rats Enabled To "Walk" Again 99
from the for-some-definitions-of-walk dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Edgerton's team tested rats with complete spinal injuries that left no voluntary movement in their hind legs.
That is usually code for "we severed the spine so we could test out this technique"
They already exist. After a bad motorcycle accident (almost severed a hand off), I had the use of an electrical muscle stimulator that would shock the surface of my skin causing the muscles to spasm. Not as effective as regular therapies and exercise, but I could have it on all the time getting continuous benefit.
Moderations are often strange and mysterious, but in this case they weren't exactly the same things. For one thing rather than just -speculating- that the researchers provided information as to how they paralyzed the rats, I provided the link. I also explained WHY it sometimes seems incomplete.
Not that it made my post on-topic and insightful as opposed to offtopic, just that may have been some of the odd thinking behind the moderations.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
