Narconon Arms Parents Against Prescription Drug Abuse with New Online Feature
To fight rising prescription drug abuse statistics, Narconon International provides new drug prevention resource for parents, available online.
(PRWEB) January 21, 2014
In the last decade, the fastest growing drug of abuse is prescription drugs, especially among young people. Among the young, it can appear that these drugs must surely be safer to abuse than street drugs. The tragic truth is that these drugs can be just as addictive, deadly and damaging as anything bought from a corner drug dealer. To help parents fight the abuse of these drugs by their children, Narconon International has published a special report titled What You Can Do about Prescription Drug Abuse, now available online.
"The first thing parents need to do is become knowledgeable about the drugs their children might encounter," said Bobby Wiggins, drug education specialist for Narconon International. "So the first thing we do is familiarize parents with the different classes of drugs their children might see their friends abusing. As we educate parents, we have taken great care to make this information easy to understand."
Once a parent is familiar with popular drugs, their effects and dangers, the report goes on to explain where young people typically acquire these drugs and how to identify an addiction to prescription drugs.
Next, the report helps a parent understand how abuse of a few pills can grow into addiction – again, so they can understand it themselves and educate their children on the dangerous paths they could find themselves on. A precise outline of educational steps is offered to help a parent take up this difficult subject.
"Currently, more than six million Americans abuse prescription drugs each year," said Wiggins. "Every day, fifty Americans die from prescription painkiller overdoses. If more parents educated their children on the life-threatening dangers involved in abusing these drugs, I am sure these numbers can start coming down. That is why we have published this new report – to help parents know where to start and what to say."
This new report can be found by visiting: http://www.narconon.org/drug-abuse/prescription/what-you-can-do-about-it.html
For nearly fifty years, Narconon has been helping the addicted find recovery and offering drug prevention classes in schools, clubs and civic organizations around the world. For more information on Narconon drug rehabilitation and prevention, call 1-800-775-8750 today.

"I came from what was called one of the First Families of Brooklyn," Horne explained. They shunned discussing the slave ancestry that had spawned them all—"yet it was the rape of slave women by their masters which accounted for our white blood, which, in turn, made us Negro 'society.'" Home was an immaculate four-story brownstone in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant section. An iron fence with sharp black spikes protected 189 Chauncey Street on three sides. That barrier told passersby to keep their distance; and for Lena's grandmother Cora, the lady of the house, it shut out the neighborhood's seamier elements—the poor Irish in tenements across the street, the Swedes who ran a garage a few doors down.
Cora and her husband, Edwin, had lived on Chauncey Street since 1896. That year they joined a northward migration of approximately forty thousand blacks who fled the growing horrors of southern life. Post–Civil War Reconstruction had collapsed, toppled by white supremacists. Negroes had lost most of the rights they'd gained, and segregation was flaring. Hundreds of lynchings had occurred—each a symbolic warning of what might happen to Negroes who stepped out of line, or even to those who didn't. In contrast, the northern cities—New York, Chicago, Detroit—seemed like oases of safety and opportunity.
A small percentage of the newly settled black families were considered special. This was the "black bourgeoisie," a prosperous middle class of teachers, doctors, businessmen, and others of education and grooming. They or their elders had descended from "favored slaves"—privileged blacks who, by virtue of their brains or their sexual allure to their masters, had worked in the house, not in the field. During the decadelong heyday of Reconstruction, they'd used their cachet to start businesses and gain social standing. Now, in the North, they were helping pave the way for a new Negro image—one that challenged every cliché of black women as household help, black men as shiftless loafers. The Negro aristocracy tended to shun anyone who embodied a past they wanted to bury. "Uppity" became a popular word to describe ambitious blacks.
Respectability was their gospel, and they upheld it at all costs. Actress Jane White, whose father, Walter White, became the executive secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1931, recalled the code of behavior dictated by the black bourgeoisie. "You didn't laugh too loud," she said. "You didn't go out in messy clothes, you were always polished and ironed; you learned how to speak well, and with a modulated voice. It was a tight cage you were in."
The Whites lived at 409 Edgecombe Avenue, the most prestigious address in Harlem. At fourteen stories, it towered above the rest of Sugar Hill, a gold-ring neighborhood for the Negro elite. Residents through the years included NAACP cofounder and preeminent activist W.E.B. Du Bois; Jimmie Lunceford, one of Harlem's star bandleaders; and Thurgood Marshall, the lawyer who worked for the NAACP before becoming the Supreme Court's first black justice. In the 1940s, Marshall often dropped by the White apartment for poker nights. "There would be hootin' and hollerin' and drinkin'," said Jane, "and they would let their hair down, and Thurgood talked one way amongst them. When he argued in court he talked another way. One may laugh, but it's rather sad." In public, she said, "you couldn't be what you were."

As a condition for matriculation, require all students to sign a confidentiality waiver in case of any suicidal or violent ideation, as determined by student mental health (the imminent likelihood of danger of violent behavior is impossible to establish with any semblance of certainty).
Institute mandatory teaching and dormitory staff training in recognizing signs and symptoms of the three most common psychiatric illnesses that may lead to suicidal or violent behavior: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression. Training should include recognition of suicidal ideation and violent intent and should not take more than three to four hours.
Using a business model that mandates an evaluation by employee health for anybody who disrupts the work environment, require college staff to refer students with signs and symptoms of serious mental illness for an evaluation by student mental health services. Cooperation with mental health evaluation should not be optional if the student wishes to remain matriculated.
Allow student mental heath services to contact the families of all students with active suicidal and homicidal thoughts, even those that do not threaten to kill themselves or hurt somebody else in the near future.
With the advent of modern psychopharmacology, many more bright and highly functional students with mental illness will attend college. Therefore the issue of how to deal with mental illness on campus will become ever more important.
The stakes are very high and involve our children's lives.
At first glance the approach I have proposed may seem overprotective and excessively limiting of personal freedoms. But in reality it is less restrictive than those used by most business or nonprofit institutions. If implemented, it will save many student lives and reduce or eliminate the stigma of mental illness in the process.
Dr. Igor Galynker is director of the Bipolar Family Treatment Center and associate chairman for research at the Department of Psychiatry at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York.

Fed survey sees slower growth in East and Midwest
Kocherlakota struck an optimistic note that the U.S. economy will keep growing and avoid falling back into a recession. "I believe that a modest recovery is under way and is likely to continue," he said.
Nationwide, consumers, while cautious, are continuing to spend to keep the economy expanding, the Fed survey said. Manufacturing is growing but at a slower pace than seen earlier this year.
Home sales weakened, which, in turn, has weighed on construction activity, the Fed said. And companies continue to be cautious about hiring full-time workers. Businesses in Philadelphia and Atlanta, for instance, reported relying instead on temporary and contract workers to meet any increases in customer demand.
The Fed's region-by-region survey is based on information collected from the Fed's 12 regional banks on or before Aug. 30. It provides a more intimate look at the overall economy than broad statistics.

Dorothy Stewart's hands still work so she figures she might as well keep them working.
The Caledon senior is a volunteer in the truest sense. She gives of her own time willingly and all she asks in return is the knowledge she has helped.
That's what fills her soul, and keeps her hands working.
"You know the saying, always ask a busy person to do more because then you know it will get done," said Pastor Ryscilla Shaw of Christ Church in Bolton. "That's Dorothy. She's always busy and yet, she always wants to do more."
Stewart has lived in Caledon since 1948. The self-described city girl fell in love with a boy named Fred, a rural boy raised on the farm.
They moved north and started a life together.
She met him while skating at the rink on Hickman Street, and she lost him too early.
But it feels like his spirit has remained, because there is more than enough spirit in Stewart for two.
"I just feel that there are so many people who need help, that if you can, no matter what it is, if you can use any of your talents to help, you should," said Stewart.
She holds her hands out, the scars of age, arthritis, are present, but not debilitating, yet.
"They still work," she said. "So I'm going to keep working too."
Stewart was a Peel board secretary for 25 years. A profession she credits with nurturing her organizational skills. But, retirement didn't come easy. Everyone in her hometown it would appear, knew what they had in Stewart, and weren't going to let a community leader ride off into the sunset.
"I got a job the day after I retired," she laughs.
Stewart got a moment. Twenty-five years of service, she definitely deserved one, and the school she retired from held an assembly for her final day. She was honoured, and thanked, and she gave a speech about her time, how much she would miss it.
At her own retirement party, she was granted a new position when she was asked to join the board of Caledon Community Services (CCS) the day of her own send off. And if you know Stewart, you've probably already guessed what her answer was.
"I feel capable," she said. "And if I am capable, then I will do it. If I can't help, maybe I can get someone who can. There's just no reason not to try."
Stewart has served on the board of CCS, the Albion Fair Board (still active), the library board, as a Rebekah with a ladies social club and add on a number of volunteer positions that simply don't have a name.
"She bakes the bread for our communion," said Shaw. "We get to use fresh bread because of Dorothy."
She's asked to provide baked goods for events, and she does. She's the warehouse for a charitable knit Teddy Bear campaign that has seen more than 24,000 handmade pieces produced that get sent to needy families in different locations.
"I only mentioned how great I thought prayer shawls were," Shaw said, about a day when she was informing her congregation about the benefits of the shawls. "And she went home and made prayer shawls, and we had prayer shawls. That's Dorothy."
Stewart now coordinates almost everything to do with the Teddy Bear campaign, from coordinating knitters to collecting and storing material. She's known for many things, an immeasurable heart, an unbridled enthusiasm…
Ask the volunteer what she wants to see from people and she tells the story of a young boy at the grocery store.
"I fear that our generations are losing that sense of community, that desire to help," she said. "But I went to the grocery store and a two-year-old boy held the door for me. He smiled, and I smiled back. I said thank you, and he said you're welcome. It was lovely. His mom told me he loved to do that. That just filled my heart."
Maybe someday that little boy will know just how many hearts Stewart has helped to fill.

ATLANTA Sunday was a "Deno Day." So was Monday. Tuesday was not. Today, Chris Denorfia will wake up here knowing that there's a pretty good chance it'll be a "Deno Day" again.
After six-plus seasons in the major leagues — and especially since he joined the Padres in 2010 — Denorfia gets it that he's not an everyday player. However, he is an everyday starter when the other guys are starting a left-handed pitcher, and that's working out pretty nicely for him and the Padres.
"I definitely have an idea of when I'm going to be in there and when I'm not," said Denorfia, who's played all three outfield positions this season. "It doesn't mean I don't come prepared every day, because I do get starts against right-handers. But it's a really nice thing to know what your role is. That enables you to be comfortable. This is the role I've been given and I've embraced it."
Given the leadoff role in the series finale at Pittsburgh on Sunday, Denorfia opened the game with a resounding homer against Pirates left-hander Erik Bedard. With the Padres facing Atlanta Braves southpaw Mike Minor the next night at Turner Field, Denorfia was placed directly behind cleanup hitter Carlos Quentin in the order and responded with a double and triple, eventually scoring after each in a 4-1 win.
A career .305 hitter against lefties, Denorfia also was batting .305 against them in 2012, though his two hits Monday night boosted the norm to .313.
"Well," he said before Tuesday's game, "at least you know what you're going to get with me."
For good reason, the hitting of Chase Headley has been drawing much of the attention lately. Denorfia, an under-the-radar guy whose hustle always exceeds the hype around him, has batted .307 over his last 55 games and .320 in 49 road games.
The lefty thing, in particular, has become his forte.
"There's a lot of things you can be good at in baseball, a lot of things you can be bad at in baseball," said Denorfia, batting .285 overall. "Some guys are great defenders. Some guys are great off the bench. There's a level of specialization in this game now that doesn't get talked about all that much.
"For whatever reasons — reasons that maybe we can't describe right now — maybe this is just what I'm good at."
Good thing for the Padres. They face Paul Maholm today. He's a lefty.
Owners discuss sale
The sale of the Padres to a group formed by the heirs of former Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley is on the agenda of the quarterly Major League Owners Meetings in Denver today and Thursday.
The group's purchase from Padres majority owner John Moores and the minority group formed by Jeff Moorad in 2009 to purchase the team is expected to be approved Thursday.
Getting the approval from other owners is expected to be the last major hurdle for the new owners, although the sale won't be officially closed for another week to 10 days.

"Dude, where's my phone?" "I don't know, I didn't touch it!" "I saw you using it, give it back!" "You're nuts, that was my phone!" Someone pokes their head into the room. "Hey, whose phone is this?"
Major oops moment right there. Don't let it happen to you! Or if it already has–then don't let it happen to you again! Most people put their phones on silent mode for one reason or the other, and it's all fine and dandy until the phone itself actually goes missing. Countless hours have already been wasted by forgetful or absent-minded people all over the world, and looking to curb that is JustMount.
It's an extremely convenient wall mount that magnetizes your iPhone to the wall. No slots, no pockets, no docks, and certainly no clips or weird harnesses. The JustMount is basically a huge magnet that won't mess with the data on your phone. Fasten it in your foyer or hall so you can mount it the moment you get home or grab it and go when you leave your pad. You'll need the TidyTilt+ case to magnetize your phone, though, but other than that, you'll be all set.

Barbay joins Colorado State after a two-year stint at Lamar University
July 21, 2014
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – On Monday Colorado State head football coach Jim McElwain announced the addition of Kevin Barbay as director of player personnel.
Barbay will play a key role in CSU's recruiting efforts, coordinating several aspects of the Rams' overall year-round recruiting process. He will act as a link between the coaching and support staff to develop student-athletes on and off the field, including strength and condition coaches and academic coordinators. Additionally, Barbay will serve as the liaison between CSU and NFL scouts for pro-day events, and assists with camps, clinics and other football-related activities.
"My family and I are extremely excited to be joining the Ram family and Coach McElwain's staff," Barbay said. "I have done a lot of research on the town and I'm super excited to move my family to Fort Collins. I feel that I'm coming into the Colorado State football program at an exciting time."
Barbay comes to Fort Collins from Lamar University, where he spent two seasons as the Cardinals' wide receiver coach. In 2013, Barbay coached second-team All-Southland Conference selection Reggie Begelton, who led the league with 82 receptions and finished third with 858 yards.
Coaching arguably the strongest receiving corps in the conference, the Cardinals pass-catchers hauled in nearly 300 receiving yards per game, while breaking over 20 team and individual records.
Barbay recruited Southeast Texas, Houston/Bay area and Kansas junior colleges while with Lamar. He signed running back Kade Harrington, who rushed for 880 yards and eight touchdowns and hauled in 48 receptions for 376 yards on his way to becoming the 2013 Southland Freshman of the Year.
"We're very fortunate to be able to welcome Kevin to the Ram Family," McElwain said. "The importance of this position toward the overall success of our program is immeasurable, and it speaks volumes about the perception of our program that we had so much interest in this position. I'm excited to get a guy with Kevin's football background as well as his many strong relationships. His knowledge and organization of the recruiting process and the skills he has developed as a college assistant coach and a high school head coach make him a valuable asset to our program."
Prior to Lamar, Barbay spent two years as the athletics director and head coach at Warren (Texas) High School. On the collegiate level, the native of Nederland, Texas, was a graduate assistant at Baylor from the fall of 2006 to the summer of 2007, before accepting his first full-time coaching job at Texas A&M-Commerce. He spent two seasons as the Lions as the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach before taking the tight ends coach position at the University of North Texas in 2009.
Barbay, a graduate of Lamar University, replaces Drew Hill, who accepted a job with the University of Oklahoma last week
Barbay and his wife Kaci have two daughters, Kynslie and Karoline, and one son, Karson.

Stacey Solomon may have bitten off more than she could chew in the current series of I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here!
The former King Solomon pupil, 21, munched on a distinctly un-kosher kangaroo penis for her first task in the Australian jungle. She later had green goo sprayed in her face.
But she's still favourite to win the ITV show at 3/1. And the X Factor finalist has the backing of Simon Cowell who told me this week: "Put your money on her. She's a fantastic girl and she makes brilliant TV."
Before entering the jungle, she said: "Oh my god. I'd love to be Queen of the Jungle - I'll try really, really hard to make it happen!"

A drought now in its third year in parts of western Kansas is taxing a resource that has been under pressure for decades: the High Plains Aquifer.
The aquifer is enormous, but it's running low in places, forcing a move to dryland farming — that is, farming without the aid of irrigation.
And farmers aren't the only ones affected.

Thread: Can I afford Art School?
July 22nd, 2007 #1
Can I afford Art School?
I hope this is the right place to ask this question..
I'm currently 17 and am about to start my senior year of high school in about a month. I know my work is very low quality right now but I consider myself very dedicated and am also not completely set on going to school straight after high school, but rather waiting a year to strengthen my portfolio.
My doubts on going to art school all revolve around the costs unfortunately. I know basically nothing of financial aid or anything, and have no idea where to start. Looking at schools it appears most cost around $30,000 a year or so, maybe less maybe more. My parents are willing to pay for around $10,000 or so a year for college, but not any more then that. I am worried because hearing about scholarships a lot seem to be that they are awarded based on financial need, and my parents make a good amount of money (over $200,000 a year combined.) I'm not sure why they won't pay for more of my college... They won't even pay for my driving insurance.
Another problem is the lack of colleges in my area, I live in Southern California in San Bernardino, the closest art school I've found is Calarts about an hour and a half away. So basically to go to any school I would have to move out.
My question is whether or not it is realistic for me to be able to go to Art school, getting financial aid for the rest of my tuition while also paying to live away from home. I am also not opposed to attending an Atelier which seems like they would be cheaper, but the only one I know of is the Concept Art one, which although I would love go to but I can't see my skills being high enough to attend for a while.
My last question is my parents seem to be pushing for me to go to community college then transfer to a university, do community college credits transfer to art schools?
Thanks for any help on the matter, It's difficult to get information as my parents share the common views of seeing art school as a waste of time and money.-- SSG 11 --Dose206 | CrimsonEye | wil.whalen | Noë | Nizza_waaarg | gtgauvinP | Jwashke

This is kinda related to the question. But why are Art Schools so freakin expensive? I know the software is expensive, but I know these schools have more than enough money to pay for it. Aside from software the only real thing I can see that cost a lot is all the fancy architecture all these art schools seem to have. Such as the HDTV's all over the place, and lights in strange places, weird sculptures, and other technological stuff. Other normal Universities are all a lot cheaper than Art schools, but I would think the teachers all pretty much get paid the same. So just what is it that makes these art schools so expensive.
July 25th, 2007 #5
http://www.ccscad.edu/) was heavy duty relying on student tuition money to help keep the place operating up until a few years ago when a very generous donor gave the school a $50 million dollar endowment to work off of. In order to keep a business (and that's what art schools are too) going, they have to have to generate income somehow to keep the lights on, the place secure, the grass cut, pay its employees, AND have just a little bit to develop programs down the road.
And no, not all teachers get paid the same.

I have dual citizenship in the US and Canada, and I think both systems have good and bad points. However, it seems to me that North America in general has lost its way in the last 25 to 30 years. This is too big a subject to get into here, but there is no doubt that education, quality education, does not have to be as expensive as it is. I'm the Director of Max the Mutt in Toronto, and would like to suggest that you take a serious look at our diploma programs. The quality of instruction, class size, added to our dedication to keeping education affordable, make us a school that should certainly be on your list.
If you want more detailed information, contact Van Olson, Admissions Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or toll free at 1-877-486-MUTT.

I've gotten myself into roughly the same situation; I'll be a freshman at The Ringling College of Art and Design this year. My parents have offered me enough money to fully pay for a four year degree program at a state school, and that's all of the money that I get (and I know that that puts me in a better situation than a lot of my classmates already--consider yourself lucky that your parents are going to help!) However, I went for absolutely every scholarship that I could get my hands on, and I've scraped up around 15k on my own for this semester. That's not to mention the 3-5k I've earned through working this past year.
Basically, you can do anything that you set your mind to. If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way. Realistically, you won't get out of art school without loans, but you can get away with reasonable loans. My advice to you is to first and foremost put together a REALLY good portfolio. That's your main weapon in winning scholarship money, and you can enter that in all kinds of places (Scholastics, local scholarship competitions, etc.). Second, make sure you keep your grades up. That'll be element number 2 in the scholarships through the school. Third, find yourself a good job and work as much as you reasonably can. Maybe get two jobs over the summer.
Good luck to you!

The update is out - I just downloaded it on my iPad this morning around 7AM-ish. One thing I wanted to comment on right off the bat is that the character matching game for the G2's app mode is ridiculously easy to win. I dare say that it's easier to win than the G1's rock-paper-scissors game. Also of note is that they used Zatchi (AKA Vader-Chan) as the secret character, just as they did in the international release of the G2. I wonder if they used the pink or green as the default color for the little alien.

The update adding P2 characters and the announcement of an Angel App dragged me back into Tamagotchi l.i.f.e. (I'd mostly been messing around with Digimon Unlimited). I never had a P2 Tama, or an Angel, so this is great for me.
Posted 22 August 2013 - 03:22 PM ( #44 )
Spoiler alert! Here's the list of the colors for each adult G2 character in the new update. (I discovered this information the same way that the sprite sheet for the G1 characters was discovered shortly after the inital release of the app.) The default / official colors are listed first.
Mimitchi White, Pink, Yellow (Green ears)
Pochitchi Yellow, Pink, Blue
Zuccitchi (Zukitchi) Blue, Pink, Yellow
Hashizotchi Light Pink, Dark Pink, Brown
Takotchi Red, Pink, Green
Kusatchi Blue (Yellow beak), Pink (Yellow beak), Orange (Pink beak)
Zatchi (Vader-Chan) Dark Pink (Green eyes, black outline), Yellow (Green eyes, pink outline), White (Red eyes, green outline)
Gotta say that they got pretty creative with Zatchi's colors, what with changing his outline and everything. Makes him stand out from the other characters in the G2 lineup moreso than Bill's color changes in the G1. I approve.

Argh, why is there not Nyatchi? I guess because she's only on the Japanese P2 but still...it would have been a nice addition.
Posted 23 August 2013 - 06:51 PM ( #46 )
Japan I THINK SO.. is also having the app I saw it somewhere ._.
Posted 12 October 2013 - 12:52 PM ( #47 )
It's a lot easier to check up on a handheld tamagotchi instead of having to unlock the ipod, open the app, and get to the shell to check on one in the app. It's okayy and I guess its good for people who think Tamagotchis are fun but don't want to carry one around all the time but for me it'll never compare to holding a tamagotchi in your hand and taking care of it

It's good when it works. I mean, it's a OK p1 emulator, but I've noticed a LOT OF PROBLEMS.
It freezes a lot, and second of all, I noticed a glitch where the sprites start looking all glitchy, see: http://i1162.photobu...dcd61376d4c.jpg
I wish it had the anime characters, or at least the connection ones. :/
Holy Freak! I've never had problems with the app! EVER!

I can't even download it because it isn't available in Australia. :'(
Well what I think the app isn't very awesome just like a P1 (aka first tmgc ever) and yeah not much and no pause feature!
Posted 09 May 2014 - 11:49 AM ( #51 )
you CANT pause it!!
And they seem to die extremely easily. only ever made it to 5 years. tried 3 different times. real tamas can tolerate alot of neglect, especially at the teen stage. this one seemed to just die randomly even in good health.

This is inspired from Raw Food Real World's couscous recipe. They use currants while I used tomatoes and added my own variations. It's a nice summery recipe that is very filling and tasty. My picky husband really enjoyed this dinner and kept saying how much he liked it. I think the tomatoes and unique flavor of the almond oil made it lovely.
5 cup cubed jicama (1 medium jicama)
½ cup pine nuts
½ cup almond oil (just shy of 1/2 cup)
generous seasoning of sea salt
1 medium red tomato
For the plate:
2 handfuls of baby arugula
2 tablespoon almond oil for each plate of arugula
salt and pepper to taste
1) Pulse the jicama in a food processor until it has a couscous texture. Scoop it out into a fine mesh colander and rinse briefly under cold water to get out some of the starchiness. Then dump it onto a clean towel or paper towels and dry as best you can.Place in a big enough bowl.
2)Process the pine nuts. (RFRW instructs using a food processor) I used my coffee/spice grinder. I processed until it was finely chopped and a bit wet and mushy. Then mix it together with the jicama. Add the almond oil and the sea salt. Next chop up the tomato into small cubes and mix into the couscous.
3)Place one handful of arugula on each plate. Add one tablespoon of almond oil to each plate of arugula. Season with salt and pepper. Scoop the couscous onto each plate on top of the arugula. Serve and enjoy!

Mens Medros Hat
The narrow gauge polyester fleece fibres of the Men's Medros Hat create a thin fabric that combined with a flatlock panel construction makes the hat easy for you to wear under a helmet or hood. Despite the thinness of the fabric, the knit still manages to hold in warmth and the brushed inner side feels exceptionally soft and comfortable. The dropped sides and rear of the hat ensure that your ears enjoy the same level of warmth as the top of your head.

The 23-year-old beat off competition from Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard, Cesc Fabregas, Emmanuel Adebayor and David James to land the prize.
Arsenal midfielder Fabregas was named Young Player of the Year - an award which Ronaldo also won in 2007 - at a star-studded ceremony at London's Grosvenor House Hotel on Sunday night.
Ronaldo did not attend the event in person but was shown on screen accepting his trophy from United manager Sir Alex Ferguson at the club's Carrington training ground.
United are currently preparing for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Barcelona on Tuesday night.
Ronaldo said: "I feel very happy. When you work all season to play good, to do something for the team, to do your contribution for the team and then at the end of the season the PFA give you this award, it is a great moment, it is an honour, a pleasure.
"It is a great motivation to carry on like that, to work more and get better.
"I feel very good but it is not just my award, my team-mates have helped me a lot this season.
"They give me good passes to score goals - and I score - but it is a good moment for me.''
Ronaldo, who joined United in a £12.24million move from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, feels he has improved considerably during his time at Old Trafford.
As well as scooping both PFA awards last year he came third in the FIFA World Player of the Year poll and he is looking forward to achieving even more success, individually and collectively, with United in future.
The Portuguese star added: "I am sure I am better player than four or five years ago. Than last year? I have improved a little bit better still.
"This is my ambition to learn more and play better and I think I am in the right place. I want to carry on and this for me is a good moment to stay at the club and play at the best level."

MailList Q
I've been subscribed to the YahooGroups Columbia MailList. The other day, I stopped receiving any emails from that list. I cannot get resubscribed.
I used to belong to this list before the takeover. I see now it has a completely different format. It xseems to be a forum, rather than a MailList. Is there a mailList version I can sign up for? Is there a MailList that mirrors the YahooGroups traffic? I know for years there were two lists that ran side-by-side and I "think" they mirrored each other - I could be wrong.
Anyone here know what I'm talking about - I'm not sure i do! http://www.sailnet.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif
Yahoo mail list
I have no idea why you would have been dropped from the Yahoo list, but if you go to www.columbia-yachts.com there is a link there for subscribing to both e-mail, or online forum. Same postings, just different delivery options.
As for Sailnet.com, if you click on the resources tab at the top here, there is still an e-mail list. For mail delivery you have to register, and select the mail option. It is a different format than the forum here, with different postings. While this particular forum is easy to use, it hasn't caught on yet.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) came down heavily on the State government for not allowing the Opposition party activists and leaders to make representations on behalf of the people in the Rachabanda programme. The party said that the government ridiculed democracy by allowing alleged rowdysheeters and goondas onto the dais at the programme.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, CPI(M) city secretary Ch. Babu Rao said that the police made their presence felt at the Rachabanda programmes in the city.
The venues were cordoned off by them, and the officials acted at the dictums of elected representatives. The officials allowed former ruling party corporators to occupy the dais, but the same courtesy was not extended to former corporators of Opposition parties. The Opposition party leaders were in fact dragged out of the venue forcibly. In fact, the opposition leaders were barred from entry, and were picked up by the police even before they reached the venue, he said.
The Congress leaders received applications from the public while the officials vanished from the scene or played the role of silent spectators. The officials did not issue any receipts to the applications and petitions given by the people. It was evident that the applications would be consigned to the dustbin as soon as the programme was over. It appeared that the government conducted the third round of Rachabanda only for a political mileage and also to project Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy an as integrationist, he said.
The ration cards, pensions, interest free loans, pavala vaddi were distributed after two years.
The beneficiaries lost pensions, ration, and interest etc to the tune of Rs.100 crore due to delay in the city. The government violated the human rights and made a mockery out of democracy by organising the programme in an autocratic manner, he said, adding, "These issues would be brought to the notice of Human Rights Commission. The praja sanghalu would be roped in to highlight the misdeeds of government and create awareness among the public".

I am so happy to share with you today another edition of Etsy Take Five Tuesday. Today I'll be brief since I wrote so much earlier in other posts but I'm certain you'll fall in love with my favorite five Etsy sellers this week. Enjoy!
First up, Lolley Land and her owls. Oh I cannot resist such cuteness, and I love the folksy feel, they have a very Scandinavian vibe I think. What do you think? Are they the cutest owls ever or what?!
Next is Anke's Little Shop, also known as Linotte created by Anke Weckmann in London. Her pins and prints are super sweet. She has a lot of talent and a very original style.
I found Ulmer, or James Ulmer Illustrations, through Anke and instantly fell in love with this Philadelphia-based artist and his prints. Again, more original work in a style all his own. Love it. Yip Yip and Happy Days are insta-faves of mine.
I'm really enjoying the bag designer Made By Hank right down to the brand name stitched onto each and every bag — love this level of detail.
And finally for Take Five Tuesday today I'd like to share with you Bound To and her handmade books. I am a book and journal junkie, I have so many unused journals just waiting for me to pen a few words. But I stash and I stash and for what reason? No clue. But I tell you this, I'm not stopping anytime soon. Anyone share this addiction with me?
(images linked above to their origins)
Happy September everyone! I promised on Friday when I wrote about My Hamburg Trip that I'd show you a store that I particularly enjoyed there called Milchmaedchen. This pretty shop is owned by Irina Hultzsch, who moved to Hamburg one year ago and opened Milchmaedchen in November 2007. Previously she had her atelier/gallery in Munich. Irina is an architect with five years of working experience including a few months focusing on interiors in NYC. Her Hamburg shop features the work of independent artists based mostly in Europe and America like The Black Apple, Lisa Stickley, Katrin Mueller bears, feinedinge (I purchased these), The O Dor (lovely tea from France in beautiful tins) and some of her own designs featuring Milk Maid illustrations stitched onto felt wallets and cotton bags.
When I asked her why she opened a shop she said, "The impulse was to create a platform for young designers and artists who are working in ateliers hidden from their potential customers. I have been traveling a lot – so while discovering new cities there's always a chance to get in contact with creative people." Irina also told me that Milchm?dchen Design (the shop) is the connector in real life in addition to the possibilities of the internet (for instance her website and blog).
Speaking of connecting people via the web, if you are interested in contacting Irina to potentially offer your products in her Hamburg shop, you may contact her via email at shop(at)milchmaedchen-design.de. She requests that if you would like to sell your products there you should enclose some photos and tell her about your work and professional background. Don't forget to include your website or blog if you have one.
Travel Tip: Like many of us, Irina is a foodie and has some dining out suggestions in case you'd like to visit Hamburg in the near future. She's a fan of Bistrot Vienna (delicious and cozy) on. Fettstr. 2, Rocco (Trattoria, great Italian food) located at Wohlwillstr. 29, and An Khang (Vietnamese Restaurant) at Hoheluftchaussee 86 (sorry no website).
Hope you enjoyed visiting this lovely shop today! Thank you Irina for having me!

Greetings, decor8 readers! My name is Jessica Jones. I'm a professional graphic designer, and I write a blog called How About Orange which frequently features craft and DIY tutorials. I'm here today to share a project with you that you can customize to your liking using your favorite paper. Here's an inexpensive way to add a geometric vibe to any wall?perfect for apartments or dorm rooms where nail holes are not allowed!
What you'll need….
- 1/2-inch thick piece of foam board (available at art stores)
- Decorative paper
- Spray adhesive
- X-acto knife
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
1. Spray your foam board with adhesive, making sure to hit all the corners and edges. Do this in a well-ventilated area on top of newspaper or protective plastic, not on your Chippendale dining room table. :) Position your decorative paper on the board and smooth it down. Be on the look out for air bubbles, you don't want those!
2. Decide how big your largest square will be and mark the corners with pencil dots. Position your ruler along the line you want to cut and slide your X-acto knife along it, cutting through the foam.
3. When your largest square is cut out, decide how wide you want your concentric "frames" to be. (Mine are 1.25″ wide.) Mark off the next set of corners inside your cut-out square, and trim out the next piece. Cutting tips: Start with a brand new blade. Make a few practice cuts until you get the hang of it. Don't try to cut all the way through in one cut; use two or three. To avoid cutting past the point you want to stop, poke your knife in to make a short cut there first, then start cutting at the opposite end. If your cuts near the corners don't quite go all the way through, flip the board over and finish cutting them from the back. And please don't cut your fingers off. Holly doesn't want to get emails about your ER visit.
4. When your lines are cut through, pop the piece out by pushing from the back.
5. When all of your pieces are cut out, paint the sides with acrylic paint to match your paper. Let dry.
6. Attach the squares to your wall in a pleasing arrangement with wall putty or poster tape. I used blue painter's tape and it worked like a charm.
That's it! Of course if squares aren't your thing you can create any shape of your liking. Get creative and most of all have fun! If you try this project at home and would like to show off the results, contact Holly and make sure to send her an image of your work on the wall. She'll round up a few and share them on decor8 when she is back.
Thanks for having me today!

Sexist Xbox One ad stirs controversy
This post was originally published on Mashable.
Microsoft has changed the default wording of a dynamic advertisement for its new Xbox One video game console, which suggested women would "rather knit" than watch their partner "slay zombies", following claims it was sexist.
Microsoft put together an online letter template to help men ask their significant others for Xbox One consoles - either as a holiday gift or requesting permission to get the system for the household.
The advertisement (you can read it in full here) tries to be cute with the thinking an "explanation (and a little sucking up)" will get the woman to budge. But some see the effort as sexist and enforcing gender stereotypes. The letter, which can be personalised and shared via social media or email, lists various reasons why the console would benefit "you and me - together and apart, but mostly together."
The letter begins: "You'd rather knit than watch me slay zombies, but hear me out on this. Xbox One is actually for both of us. Seriously."
It then suggests that the console will prompt the couple to exercise more and will let the woman watch movies and chat with her sister via Skype while the man watches the game. Although the ad does a solid job of detailing its versatility, some Twitter users said the language is condescending and implies that only men play video games and women dislike when they do.
"You love movies and I love football. Well, with the Xbox One, we can love both," it reads. "We can catch your favourite team AND check out my favourite team. Just think of all this togetherness we're going to experience. It's gonna be awesome!"
A Microsoft spokesperson said the letter was "fully customisable" and that the company "meant no offence".
"But understand how the defaults could be perceived. We're making changes to the letter defaults and apologise for the oversight."
The company has since made a few changes to the text, updating phrases such as "you'd rather knit" to "you'd rather do your taxes early."
According to a recent study, nearly half of gamers are women, but they are often made to feel like the minority.
Although some Twitter users had strong reactions to the ad, others called in "clever" and "tongue in cheek".
Sooo, this is a little sexist, @Xbox...Maybe rethink this? Sincerely, girl who prefers shooting zombies over knitting http://t.co/O1azsaj6Gh
Alright..I know this will alienate people, but I'm tired of overreactions to every little thing. The Xbox ad? Get over it. Tongue-in-cheek.
Of course @Xbox is being sexist and mysyoginistic in erasing women gamers http://t.co/9XffYE2qUO
Maybe not disgustingly sexist, but definitely pushing it, Microsoft. http://t.co/QNrHEVA0dC
This is really clever and pretty funny. Good job #Microsoft. http://t.co/Bbzm5y7Foh

For those interested in this configuration daVinci indicates on their website that they will soon have a modified derailleur that supports this configuration. I've got the 9-spd version and it shifts very well; Todd at daVinci is pretty innovative and I have no doubt that the 10-spd version will work well.
I'm currently running an 11-32, old folks gearing, and will use the 10-spd either for closer spacing or possibly and 11-36. My current thinking is closer spacing since I'm not sure I want to climb anything that needs a 24-36 gear. We're just about at the point where we can sustain a 10% grade if it's not too warm, steeper grades for short durations, so maybe we should leave tougher stuff for youngsters. Our goal, before we wear ourselves out, is to climb Henry Coe (done comfortably), Freemont Peak (done, uncomfortably on a warmish day), Mt. Tam (not done yet), Mt Hamilton (not done yet) and Mt. Diablo (not done yet). Once we can do these climbs non-stop we'll be able to do the medium tough Centuries in our area.
Anyway, if I happen to notice that the 10-spd mod is available I'll post something, I really do prefer the Campy shifters versus the Shimano gear I have on my single.

12 Who Made a Difference: Lachell Boyd
Sherwood Elementary reaps benefits from educator's emphasis on teaching persuasive writing skills
The testament to Lachell Boyd's persuasive writing class at Sherwood Elementary is the $63,000 in playground equipment given by executives bowled over by her students' clear, logical requests.
A bigger one could be around the corner. Lance Forsdick Jr., head of Grace Construction in Memphis, is honing the budget and list of industry contacts he intends to tap for a $2 million gymnasium.
The story started in 2009 when then-fifth-grader Christina White wrote to the head of Hewlett-Packard's $42 billion personal systems division, asking for computers for the school's writing lab, telling him he would stand a better chance of gaining business as a result.
Within months, $100,000-plus in computers and connections were in place. Next came $50,000 from Turner Construction, one of the largest general contractors in the world, for playground equipment after the CEO got a letter from Triston Gillon describing the sometimes wet basement the children used for physical education.
"The purpose was for my students to understand the power of writing and to encourage them to be great writers," said Boyd. "I want them to continue to write after they leave the classroom. I want them to look at challenges as opportunities and to know how great it feels to give and encourage others to give."
Forsdick visited Sherwood after he got a letter about the basement from fifth-grader Daniel Spencer.
"He was dead-on with his assessment of the need for physical education facilities at the school," Forsdick said. "They are doing the absolute best they can with the space they have."
If plans go the way Forsdick expects, a gymnasium is on the way.
Boyd is still pinching herself. "As I child, I really depended on my teachers. My parents had a fourth- or fifth-grade education. After a certain point they couldn't help me.
"I knew if I could learn what my teachers taught me, I had a chance of living a better life. I want to give that to my students. I feel that they are my children. If it takes all night to help them understand something, I will explain it all night."
Boyd now is in charge of helping Memphis City Schools teachers access career benefits in the $90 million to improve teacher effectiveness from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"I used to tell my students, 'Every day when you leave, you are better than when you entered the classroom this morning,'" she said.
"If children have exposure to highly effective teachers, yes, their lives can be different."
