Mamas, I'm just here to sing the blues a bit. Week before last, when we were supposed to start a new daycare, 17 mo DD came down with what turned out to be RSV/pneumonia (a parting gift from old daycare). So that was awful, what with doctor visits and fevers and a trip to the ER for various tests (although we didn't have to stay in hospital - very fortunate). So we got a nebulizer from our ped, and antibiotics, etc, and she was cleared to start her new school this past week, which she did on Weds.
Went well, went back Thurs. Then Thursday night, lo! Vomiting like crazy from about 10pm - 3am. I cannot quite describe to you my feelings when she lurched out of a sound sleep and spewed lentil soup all over me. Since then she's thrown up about once a night, and in the midst of yesterday's nap - I think when she gets too full from nursing in her sleep. Pretty chipper during the day.
I'm considering asking our ped to just move in - I talk to her on the phone more than anyone else right now. Oh, and the kind folks at her new school, who are looking forward to getting to know her...someday.
I also WOH, theoretically. I think I've worked maybe 4 full days since New Years.
Anyone else gone through crazy bad illnesses one after the other (silly question, right?)? Survival tactics? Poor little DD. And me, well, who needs sleep, I ask you??
Yeah, it is hard when they are little. I totally feel your pain.
(imagine what the flu is like at our house-- with 4 kids!)
All you can do is talk to the day care and make sure they are not allowing sick kids, sending kids home when sick and washing hands like crazy.
And it happens to all kids-- whether now when they're at day care or when they go to school.
You might want to look into giving your lo (and for you too) sambucus-- it is an elderberry extract. I am very skeptical of homeopathic medicine, but this stuff is natural and works. I give it to my kids daily during flu season.
i'll share your pain. we had a really bad cold with some weezy breathing that i was watching for brochiolitis, then a couple clear days followed but 3 days of constant vomiting. not only was she sick but also lethargic which is unusual for her so i ended up basically couch-bound with a toddler lying on top of me the whole time. i almost went nutso.....3 cheers for the existence of television for keeping me from losing it completely. first meal we kept down on day 4 we headed straight out of the house and back to civilization.
Does anyone know what kind of monstrous illness this is and how to defeat it? When I Googled pneumonia and GI bug I got this forum and a British forum from 2009 - so I take it that the bug was across the pond few years ago ... I take it that it wreks the gut flora and moves from nose to gut , and it does not respond to antibiotics ( so virus? )
UUUUUGGH, we're also in the thick of sicky season around here. It's been an unusually difficult winter I feel like, but we've had it all, with no rest in between. I'm also 34 weeks PG, so anything 18 month old DD brings home, I get about 4 days later. We had a round of whooping cough, the puking bug (I had it so bad I went into preterm labor) and we're now on week 3 of this weird croupy cold that keeps her up crying all night. Not to mention coupled with teething, FUN FUN FUN!
Spring is almost here, and hopefully the fresh air will clear everything up. Hang in there!
OMG. My kids are never sick. Nobody around here gets sick. Until about the last month. It was about 5 weeks ago my baby Zayd (16.5 months) got RSV. Then he *just* got over that and back to eating and all when he caught a horrible stomach bug. Which proceeded to infect everyone in the house EXCEPT my 7 year old ds, including all 3 adults on the same day! (my mom lives with us.) The only ones who got the RSV were baby and 3 yr old ds. Fortunately, baby did not end up going to the hospital. (He was born with imperforate anus, has a colostomy, and had complications last fall that resulted in a 4 week hospital stay followed by a readmission 2 weeks later for surgery and another 2 week stay.) The RSV and tummy bug caused his next surgery for the imperforate anus to be postponed till May. When we will hopefully spend only 3-4 days in the hospital.
lovin DH since 1/04, best mom for my 3 boys 10/04, 11/08, 11/10 one girlie (1/07), one 13 wk (10/13) and 5/15 just your average multigenerational living family!!

Everyone knows NOLA, the partying-est, craziest, drinking-est, convention-going, Mardi-Gras-Parading, jazz-music-playing, levy-bursting, Brad-Pitt-loving, most reputation-rebuilding city in the USA, especially right now.
Originally posted on CNTraveler.com Our annual Readers' Choice Survey always yields fascinating insights into your travel experiences--including th...
New Orleans, you touch my soul. Each night, I go to sleep thinking of what new adventures we will have tomorrow. I can think of nothing better than stepping out the front door and living life in a place I love.
I think it's fair to say that among the top reasons people visit New Orleans, setting aside food, booze and certain anatomical parts of women that also begin with B, is our music. New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and blues, and our heritage as a music city is strong.
And for the first time in my young life, I connected to a place, to a set of smells, sounds and sights that seemed overwhelmingly pleasing and joyful.
Travelers looking for something authentically creepy should note that a slew of blood-chilling haunts exist right below their feet in the form of the world's spookiest cemeteries. Plunge into an inspiring mix of history, sculpture and creepy fun.
What makes Snake and Jake's Christmas Club Lounge one of the best dives we've ever been to is its ability to stave off the world outside and provide a timeless, windowless pocket in which to immerse yourself and be alone.
Where is the real New Orleans lurking? The one that has inspired artists, poets, and songwriters. The New Orleans that charms with its hospitality, beauty, and world-famous cuisine.
Even in these last few weeks of the summer travel season, we continue to hear summer songs that capture the spirit of the season or stir memories of waterside romance. But how many were inspired by an actual location?
ure you can drop a wad of cash in The Big Easy, but it's not necessary. Here are 26 cheap -- and free! -- things to do, eat, and see in New Orleans that won't bankrupt your vacation.
Returning to a place you've already visited can mean more than just seeing the things you missed. For me, it means exploring with 15 more years of life experience, including the ability to see nuance and transformation where I normally would have just been awestruck.
Chasing chickens, dancing on horseback, drinking at five in the morning, boucherie and fais do-do -- it's all part of what folks outside of New Orleans call the real Mardi Gras.
Sure, you could easily fill your trip to the Super Bowl with sporting events and activities all surrounding the Superdome, but the game happens to be in New Orleans. NOLA. The Big Easy.
Funky and fascinating New Orleans has seen its share of hard times. After Katrina's destruction in 2005, may wondered how -- or if -- the city could ever recover. More than seven years later, the city has rebuilt many areas and billions of dollars have been pumped into public works and the levee system.
Oyster tables were turning out freshly shucked oysters and the BBQ table had mac and cheese, roast pork, cornbread, fixins and pig paella. Five or six fires were burning around the space and were set in old sugarcane bowls that were formally used to cook down the cane syrup. We drank and ate our fill and headed back to the cottage for a bit more debauchery.
After a huge culinary bash in New Orleans, I head back to Charleston -- with some stops for great meals along the way, of course.

The 2014 Bryan County primary election will be 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday, June 24.
Bryan County Democrats will make their picks in state and congressional contests, plus a few local races. There are three different ballots for the Dems. All will include a section to select from incumbent Nancy Connor or Prudy Sullivan for county treasurer. Voters registered in county commissioner District 1 will choose between Chuck Downs and Kevin Carter; those in District 3 will mark in favor of incumbent Jay Perry or Roger Hedgecock.
Republicans only have choices to make in state and congressional races. No Republicans are running for county treasurer or county commissioner District 3, so those elections will be decided in the Tuesday primary. The winner of commissioner District 1 will face Republican Ron Boyer during the general election.
Voters registered as Independents don't go to the polls until the November general election.
At the April 11 filing deadline, according to the state election board, the governor's race drew seven candidates. But after several Democratic candidates withdrew or declined, State Rep. Joe Dorman is unopposed for the party's nomination. Republicans will pick a nominee from a pool of three that includes incumbent Mary Fallin, attorney Chad Moody and former pastor Dax Ewbank.
For the first time in state history, both U.S. Senate seats are on the ballot. The regular six-year term already was scheduled for election, and the resignation of GOP Sen. Tom Coburn opened the other seat in Washington, D.C. Three Democrats, Michael Patrick Hayes, Jim Rogers and Connie Johnson, and seven Republicans, James Lankford, Jason Weger, Andy Craig, T.W. Shannon, Randy Brogdon, Eric C. McCray and Kevin Crow, are seeking to serve his unexpired term.
Incumbent Senator Republican Jim Inhofe is being challenged by Republicans Erick Paul Wyatt, Evelyn L. Rogers, Rob Moye and D. Jean McBride-Samuels.
There are two candidates each on Democratic and Republican ballots who want to represent District 2 in the House of Representatives at the nation's capital. Republican incumbent Markwayne Mullin is being challenged by Republican Darrel Robertson. Democrats seeking the office are Earl E. Everett and Joshua Harris-Till.
For more information, contact the county election board office, 402 W. Evergreen St., Suite A-2 (courthouse) or (580) 924-3228. Also visit the "online voter tool" at www.ok.gov/elections.

Mr. Margaritaville approached the mic during an audience Q&A to ask Spotify chief Daniel Ek whether the executive would give him a raise.
At a Bitcoin confab, the VC and Web world veteran lumps the Bitcoin-dissing business magnate in with "old white men crapping on new technology they don't understand."
Spotify's Daniel Ek says the world's top subscription streaming-music service added 2.5 million paying members in fewer than six months and has returned a total of $2 billion to the music industry.
Spotify regretfully removes Swift's songs from its service after receiving a request from the pop star and her management team.
The free service will be retired on December 1 as Microsoft decides to focus on its subscription plan alone.
The CEO of the world's largest social network says the disease is at "a critical turning point" and needs to be addressed.
The subscription-music service you've probably never heard of is bigger than all its brethren except Spotify. Now it's diving into the US, not with a splash but a ripple. North American CEO Tyler Goldman explains why.
A crowdfunding campaign aims to build a full-size working version of the USS Enterprise from "Star Trek" in the Canadian Badlands, but the funding goal is a long way off.
The technology landscape has changed drastically since Google made its market debut 10 years ago. Google's IPO and its co-founders had a big hand in that evolution.
The jury in the latest Apple-Samsung patent trial might ultimately say that it followed the law scrupulously. But might a little humanity on the part of these supposed "tech novices" also have come into play?

Choosing the right outdoor furniture isn't easy. After all it's not only the design you have to choose. You need to choose the right size, the right functionality, the right color, the right material and so on. So we categorized products under outdoor furniture into groups for functionality where you can also drill down by material. Also we have a separate section where you can see patio furniture by collections. This is helpful if you are looking for matching products. Click on each outdoor product and at the bottom of the page you'll see the matching products from the same collection and the same manufacturer. We also have another main category by design where you can see furniture collections by design type such as modern, classic and traditional. Below are some categories of outdoor furniture where we need to highlight.
Outdoor Patio Dining Sets: These are dining furniture made specifically for outdoor use. Dining sets come in various materials. Wicker dining sets offer aluminum frames with woven all-weather wicker. Recycled plastic dining sets are made with recycled milk jugs and stronger than wood. Resin dining sets provide resistance to all kinds of weather conditions. Wood dining sets serves a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Outdoor Deep Seating Sets: These are indoor like deep seating furniture that is made with outdoor materials. Deep and thick cushions are made with Sunbrella fabric. Furniture items are made with indoor comfort but designed for outdoors. Club chairs, sectionals, sofas and love seats all are made with large proportions. That's why we call them deep seating sets. They are also called lounge groups.
Outdoor Patio Dining Chairs: Most of our dining chairs are made for commercial use. This means they are designed for heavy use. Resin dining chairs are light, strong and durable. Most resin chairs are stackable. Wood chairs are made with stainless steel hardware. Wicker dining chairs are made with all weather resistant woven wickers. Aluminum chairs are made with strong welting and rust free characteristics. Sling dining chairs are comfortable without cushions.
Outdoor Bistro Sets: Bistro sets are great for smaller areas. Cafes and restaurants purchase our bistro sets because both chairs and tables are made with commercial standards.
Outdoor Patio Tables: Tables of all sizes are made with outdoor materials. Round, square, rectangle and oval are the four categories we have to choose from. You'll find wood, resin, aluminum, glass top, wood top and metal top tables.

Im as keen as mustard myself to try it , sorry to thread jack but is it available in the UK anywhere ???
Thread: Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
I've just tried this from a sample vial and I think at this moment I would like to have some of this juice. This fragrance has been so appropriately named, its unbelievable. All I get out of this is a linear smell of vanilla and tobacco. The combination is nothing spectacular yet its compelling.
Where exactly can one buy this from? I see all the splits happening here have been consummated. Any splits in the offing? Any information would be appreciated.
Im as keen as mustard myself to try it , sorry to thread jack but is it available in the UK anywhere ???
I'm eager for a sniff too....

I love it, much better then SDV IMO as far as vanilla goes and just worked so much better on my skin. It lasted at least 24 hours before I took a shower might have lasted more too.
This is going to be my next purchase this year whether it be a decant or FB

Check out tomford.com for retailers that stock Tom Ford Beauty products.
Tobacco Vanille is fantastic, I agree. I regret, I don't really get to wear it from my decant as much as I would like, since TV can wear heavily in warm weather which is common here in Miami. But as soon as it cools down, I reach for it. It, and Spiritueuse Double Vanille are vanilla standards, IMO.
Tobaco Vanille has some flaws - too sweet drydown. Despite this - it's amazing scent.

Somehow, it reminds me of a sweeter Tea for Two by L'Artisn.
I love it, though at the prices it goes for it always seems to take a backseat to other fragrances. I'm not sure about splits, but it's available at Nordstroms online and select Saks and Neimans in-store.
TV is just about a perfect balance of the two main components. Neither dominates. I like it a lot. Quite expensive though.

An great fragrance. I tried it and it immediately went in my top five. I do not usually like vanilla, but in here it is not too sweet and tempered just right with cinnamon. It smells just like vanilla pipe tobacco. If you can find it, it is most certanly worth your time.
I think I am going to be purchasing this one pretty soon probably next pay check
It's a real cold winter in Lithuania with much snow. I sprayed Tobacco Vanille and it's hard to compare the pleasure of wearing this scent with any other.

At fist I thought, "Why would I pay that much for a vanilla scent?", but after smelling SDV, I think I need to try this one.
Shameless Plug: Sales thread with Roses Musk, Rose Poivree, and others.
Looking for lot of samples of female fragrances.
I ordered it the other day from NM, and called the Tom Ford Store in NY for samples of the TV and a couple others. As I mentioned in another thread, the people I dealt with at Tom Ford could not have been more helpful and great to deal with.
I am looking forward to receiving it...although after reading all the comments my expectations may be a bit too high now.
I will report back.
I think its one of those that I will just know I will love from peoples decriptions alone
This is a very opulent scent, rich and full bodied. I can't stress enough how fantastically it wears in cooler weather.
If only I had the dough to grab me a FB of my own......but hey, one can dream

So what exactly is the main difference in vanilla/tobacco theme between Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanille and Guerlain's Spiritueuse Double Vanille?
Wanted: a cap of Bvlgari Thé Vert
Wanted: L' Artisan Timbuktu or Fragonard Concerto
Feel free to visit Polderposh - a young up & coming Dutch fragrance blog!
I haven't sniffed SDV but now I am curious about that too. I don't want to again say 'Its just vanilla'....meh
SDV: Much more complex, from a boozy kind of macerated vanilla note to a more gentle spice soaked Guerlainade base. Tobacco is lighter touch and it is less sweet. SDV smells different smelled up close than it does far away (a trait common among Guerlain's). Sillage is average and longevity is above average.
Of course, this is a very quick generalization of the differences. Both are wonderful and I'm glad I own decants of both.
Do not overspray TV! Literally, one spray will do you for a good part of the day. Very linear and I can't take too much without layering. Layers well with Tuscan Leather.
"Why not seize the pleasure at once?"
-- Jane Austen (Sun, and Mercury in Sagittarius)
I'm seriously considering this a must buy for me. Come tax refund time, i'll probably pick up the 1.7 oz spray. Heck, if I get a stimulus check, I may just spring for the 8.3 oz, but I seriously doubt it.
I just got a 5ml decant of TV from eBay. God I love this stuff. I'm wearing it now and basking in its sweetness. I also got a great demo of the Tom Ford Private Collection Coffret at the Neiman Marcus in Troy MI. This is on my dream list. Got a great sample of Moss Breches from this visit as well. Champaca and Tuscan Leather are also very wonderful. Thank you very much to the awesome and generous SA's at NM.
Your nostrils, which will dilate immesurably in unspeakable contentment, in motionless ecstasy, will ask nothing better for space, for they will be full of fragrance, as if perfumes and incense; for they will be glutted with complete happiness, like angels who dwell in the peace and magnificence of pleasent heaven.
(From Maldoror by Comte de Lautreamont)
I received my sample and purchased bottle and must admit, I am not thrilled with it. It is okay....but not my speed.
TV is perhaps the best of the bunch from Ford. Reminds me a lot of the Dreamer (think honey & tobacco leaves). I'm almost convinced that TV is a copy of Dreamer with better ingrediants. The openings are of course different but the drydowns are very similar with TV being slightly sweeter.
"I exist for myself, and for those to whom my unquenchable thirst for freedom gives everything, but also for everyone, since insofar as I am able to love - I love everyone. Of noble hearts, I am the noblest - and the most generous of those that yearn to give love in return. - I am a human being, I love death and I love life."

My classics: Dior Homme EdT, YSL Rive Gauche PH, Helmut Lang Cuiron, L'Occitane Neroli (vintage), Davidoff Zino, L'Occitane Eau des Baux
I've got a few technical questions about this. How is longevity and sillage? I know somebody described it as "high," but can anyone provide more details? If I buy something like this I want to get a ton of wearings out of it.
Last edited by denec; 9th January 2009 at 02:24 AM.
Anybody know a place where I can get this cheaper than $165 for a 1.7oz bottle?
Nevermind, just dispatched an order for a 2.5 ml sample spray for it. If I enjoy it, i'll purchase a bottle next week. Happy smelling everyone!

That just gave me an awesome idea for some reason. Soaking a napkin in some pungent fragrance and hiding it in my bosses office. Not TV of course, but something else with monster sillage and longevity.

I think Luca Turin calls it "honey tobacco," which I kinda agreed with after smelling it again. A very good scent, which is slightly sweet, but still pretty awesome.
tried it at saks today. 2 hours into and it's really sweet on my skin. smells alot like cinammon. not getting much in the way of vanilla or tobacco (i used to be a smoker and came from a family of pipe and hookah smokers, so i know tobacco )
also tried tuscan leather. kinda digging it, though pretty much one dimensional and may smell too old for my age (early 30s). not sure. like it but not $180 like it. i can see spending say $80 on it.
edit: actually i'm detecting some tobacco in the first one after all. man these fragrances have like zero projection
2nd edit: i sample it today again and i really love it this time. really digging the tobacco notes and does not sweet as sweet as i initially perceived.

I bought my bottle last year and have given it about 3 really good wearings so far. I do like it a lot but to my nose, honey is by far the dominant note.
Received my sample today. First impression, 2.5ml isn't much. I don't know how people get a feel for this stuff with 1ml or 1.5 ml samples. I'm waiting for my Rive Gauche to fade before I try it. Don't want any cross contamination.
1.5 ml of Tv is plenty for like 8 - 10 wears.
I use one or two sprays tops. This stuff is STRONG!
First impression from a wrist test. Just getting into the drydown, i've got a very linear smell of tobacco. Just a touch of vanilla if any. Not smoky at all. I can just barely detect the underlying spicy note. I can't help but think I should also try a smokier tobacco fragrance. At first I thought mint, but I don't know how dependable the observation is. My nose is fairly undeveloped. I'm liking it, but it's not the mind-blowing scent that I imagined. A few more wearings and a few more samples before I decide if this is truly FB worthy.
Another observation, it is amazing how well the smell of this kind of tobacco can be reproduced.
Boy, you weren't kidding. I stupidly thought, "Hey, I want to get a good test of this, so i'll do 3 sprays." Bad move. Quite overpowering.1.5 ml of Tv is plenty for like 8 - 10 wears.
I use one or two sprays tops. This stuff is STRONG!

A more proper testing today and I can tell you I am impressed more with it, but still haven't decided if it's full bottle worthy(at a cheaper price point, it would definitely be) This time, it wasn't as overpowering. I did 3 sprays again, but spread them out a lot more. The progression on this one is subtle. It starts as a straight up tobacco fragrance, but over time, the vanilla seeps into your senses, but the tobacco doesn't disappear. It blends perfectly with the tobacco. I also got a touch of cocoa also, almost like having a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows while enjoying a fine cigar at the same time. Again, the spices were almost non-existent.
Anyways, have a good night guys. Tomorrow I wear it to work. A bit skeptical since I do sweat a bit, but i'll try it anyway.
I made a special trip into town to try and most likely buy this, and was really looking forward to sampling a good vanilla & tobacco scent.
Unfortunately, I was bitterly disappointed. What I sprayed on the test strip was so sickly sweet, almost alcoholic and cloying that after 10 minutes of walking around the store and waiting it to settle, I couldn't bring myself to wait for any longer for a sign of the tobacco to appear. I got the impression that it could be incredibly long lasting though.
I may try again over the next month or so, but today it wasn't to be :-(

Some final thoughts on this one. This is pretty much my first foray into high end fragrances, and I am thoroughly impressed. I'm new to all of this, but I get the feeling that there is a lot of complexity behind this simplistic fragrance. The tobacco is out front, blended almost perfectly with the vanilla. You can not tell where the tobacco ends and the vanilla begins. Underneath this heavenly combination, is a slight hint of spices(cinnamon maybe) and cocoa, that serve to support the tobacco and vanilla. Opening up, you have the tobacco and vanilla, but as the fragrance begins to fade, it turns into this creamy luxurious vanilla. You can really notice the cocoa during this time, with the spices still hiding in the background making an appearance ever now and then. As much as I love the opening tobacco notes, I equally love the creamy vanilla/cocoa fade. A perfect cap to a beautiful experience.
I could definitely see myself wanting to bypass the tobacco on days and just going for the creamy vanilla/cocoa experience, but that's another fragrance hunt for another day. Right now, I must say I am in love with this one. I look forward to wearing it for many days to come. I don't like the idea of paying that much for it, but this is grail territory for me, and I guess I might.
"the creamy vanilla/cocoa experience"
The closest I've found is Amour de Cacao. However, from sampling a gingerbread jojelle frag, I have a feeling they might have one that is a bit better. The problem is that they offer so many you'd have to buy a few dozen samples to find out !

Chocolate Greedy by Montale sounds something like it, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
i havent tried that montale......but i have tried their vanille absolut and it is an excellent vanille....just plain vanilla though.
i am waiting now for montale bois vanille i bought a 100ml blind lol....it better be good!
i wish i just dished out the 180 for the tom ford though......i just cant do it with like 6 weeks left of winter.....maybe next year.
I don't think I could pay $180 for 50 ml of it. I'm getting some through a split for around $100.

Miller, Vickerson say they'll appeal fines
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
Von Miller and Kevin Vickerson are appealing fines they said they received from the NFL for hits on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton last weekend.
Miller's $21,000 fine was for a low hit, but Denver's star linebacker insists he was blocked into Newton and didn't come anywhere near his knees.
Vickerson's $15,000 fine was for a horse collar tackle that he insists was more of a swipe.
Miller said he had two fines overturned on appeal last year for hits on Mark Sanchez and he feels he has another strong case.
Vickerson said he hopes to at least have his fine reduced.

Health Gurus Say Resolve to Quit Smoking – One Week at a Time
A new idea that might even help Obama quit and stay quit.
"Stay Quit Monday is perfect for someone like President-elect Obama,"
"We know there's a high relapse rate for first-time quitters and that it takes a number of attempts for most people to stop smoking altogether," says
It's simple math. "For most people who quit, it takes from 7 to 10 tries," says Lerner, "We urge smokers to think about it realistically and use the start of each week to recommit to breaking their addiction. If you just try once a year on your birthday or

"Quitting smoking is a marathon, not a 100-yard dash," said Dr.

"Expect occasional slips in your resolutions," Norcross advises. "Most successful resolvers slip in January. But a slip need not be a fall; pick yourself up and recommit to your resolution." In fact, one study Norcross cites showed that 71% of successful resolvers said their first slip had actually strengthened their efforts.
A report last year from the Institute of Medicine says that "motivating more quit attempts among people who now make none, and more frequent quit attempts among those who now try to quit" is one of five requirements for achieving higher cessation rates. (1)

MINNEAPOLIS Pass, pass, shot. Pass, turnover. Rebound, shot, rebound, turnover. Dribble, dribble, dribble. For nearly every game at the beginning of last season, R.J. Adelman's handwritten notes were detailed, copious. They came not just from his time on the bench but from the hours he logged in his office after games watching video. Win or lose, the Minnesota Timberwolves' director of player personnel would relive it all again, rewinding, pausing, noting the tiniest details that no box score ever would reveal. What Adelman, the son of Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman, was doing was nothing new. Many a coach has instructed his assistants to manually track detailed statistics from the bench, keeping them at the ready to provide context for in-game huddles and discussions. For such coaches, stats are the key to improving their teams; they give a greater understanding about what's unfolding in front of them. They are more than just color. They're a necessity. Now, though, Adelm...

Thirty years after the initial description of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in North American men who have sex with men (MSM), the global community faces re-emerging and newly documented HIV epidemics in MSM worldwide, including in regions with generalized epidemics. There is a clear need to scale up and improve (and, in some cases, to start) sustained, comprehensive and effective HIV prevention efforts targeting MSM in low, middle, and high income countries alike. These efforts must be complemented by a better understanding of which interventions work best, and in what contexts.

Nickel Asia income dips 37% despite rise in sales
popular .
Publicly listed Nickel Asia Corp. posted a 37-percent decline in its attributable net income last year to P2.2 billion, from the P3.54 billion it registered in 2011, due to weaker nickel prices in the global market and a stronger peso.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange Friday, Nickel Asia said its revenue likewise fell by 9 percent to P11.61 billion in 2012 from the P12.69 billion of the previous year.
The decline came about despite the 13-percent increase in the volume of ore the company shipped out last year. Last year's shipment totaled 11.73 million wet metric tons (WMT) from the 10.39 million WMT of 2011.
"Despite weak market conditions for commodities in general, our company has again managed to deliver record shipments last year," said Nickel Asia president and CEO Gerard H. Brimo.
Given the increase in shipment volumes, total operating costs and expenses rose to P7.57 billion in 2012 from P6.26 billion in 2011. On a per WMT of ore sold, total costs and expenses increased by 7 percent to P646 per WMT.
Also, Nickel Asia reported that the construction of the country's second hydrometallurgical nickel processing plant is now almost complete.
The processing facility, which is located next to Nickel Asia's 65-percent owned Taganito mining operation in Surigao del Norte, is expected to be commissioned soon. Commercial operations may begin by the end of 2013, it added.
The Taganito mine is expected to deliver roughly 1.8 million WMT of limonite ore to the new processing plant within the year. This volume will increase to about 4.5 million WMT by 2014, the first full year of the plant's operations, the company further reported.
"We have made a substantial investment of P4.4 billion for a 22.5-percent equity interest in this project and we are looking forward to the start of operations," Brimo said. Amy R. Remo

BioSmart Sciences Launches Research-Based Bedding Products in Vegas
First FDA-cleared Pillow for Snoring and Sleep Apnea as well as Innovative Mattress Construction Designed to Aid Sleep and Reduce Aches, Pains
LAS VEGAS, NV (PRWEB) January 25, 2013
BioSmart Sciences, Inc. debuts clinically proven products in the pillow and mattress categories that are designed to improve sleep during the Sacramento-based company´s inaugural home furnishings trade show, at the World Market Center, Jan. 28 — 31.
Following a highly successful test through a national retail chain, BioSmart launches its BIOS Anti Snore/Anti Sleep Apnea Pillow — the first pillow to treat snoring and sleep apnea cleared by the U.S. FDA — in the company´s new showroom here. Product benefits claims are backed by three clinical tests conducted at the Stanford University Center for Human Sleep Research. A patent is pending for the BIOS pillow, which has a suggested retail price of $129.95.
Top sleep doctors at Stanford University developed and administered protocols for the independent trials in which test subjects with snoring problems experienced a 78 percent reduction in snoring events, and an 86 percent reduction in the duration of such events. The same tests showed a 24 percent reduction in symptoms of mild obstructive sleep apnea.
"For too long, consumers have been bombarded with smoke and mirrors messages about sleep surface products. BioSmart is dedicated to stripping away the hype and replacing it with real science that really works as demonstrated by our pillow receiving the first FDA clearance to address snoring and sleep apnea," noted Mark Bradlee, CEO of BioSmart Sciences.
BioSmart´s BIOS mattress line, also launching at the Vegas Market, consists of six styles in standard sizes that have suggested retail prices between $1499 and $4499. The company´s manufacturing technology is patented, with underlying science-based bedding designs originating in the precepts of anatomy, physiology, bio-mechanics, osteopathy and pressure analysis. Memory foam is not used because of excess body pressures, mal-alignment, and heat buildup which that foam produces.
Along with the proprietary construction, mattresses feature four to six performance regions that include latex in some models, as well as two-way stretch covers that won´t "trampoline" or restrict performance.
BioSmart´s BIOS mattresses were additionally tested in clinical trials to reveal improvements in vital Delta and REM sleep, with subjects showing a significant reduction in nighttime tossing and turning by up to 75 percent, as compared with competitive products tested. Notably, there were significant reductions in neck, shoulder, back and hip pain, as previously reported by subjects as well as reduced pressures on the shoulder, hip and back produced more refreshed awakenings and next day performance.
The company plans to launch two posture- and health-related products later this year. In the Vegas showroom, 6 styles of BIOS chairs, engineered for improved body support and posture, will additionally be on display, with suggested retail prices between $399 and $599.
"BioSmart Sciences is committed to providing better health through science-based products that meaningful address and reduce the forces that contribute to sleep fragmention, chronic tossing and turning and persistent neck, shoulder, back and hip pain," said Roger Sramek, executive vice president and multiple patent-holder.
About BioSmart Sciences, Inc.
BioSmart Sciences, Inc. has deployed a series of unprecedented clinical and bio-mechanical studies which has led to two FDA clearances and highly positive studies and research from doctors at Stanford, Harvard and other leading educational institutions. CEO Mark Bradlee and EVP Roger Sramek have over 70 years combined experience in invention and innovation in sleeping surfaces.

A young man is being sought by police after a woman was
sexually assaulted in Palmerston North at the weekend.
The woman, 23, was walking home from an inner city bar
shortly after 2am on Sunday after becoming separated from her
She was approached by a man at the intersection of George
Street and Main Street, and her began walking with her as she
continued along Main Street.
When they came to the junction of Andrew Young and Main
Streets the man led her to a parking area between two
commercial properties on Andrew Young Street and sexually
assaulted her, police say.
''Police were notified immediately after the assault which
allowed us to preserve some vital evidence and review CCTV
footage," Detective Johnny Oram of Palmerston North CIB said.
''Due to the large number of CCTV cameras in the Square and
others operated by businesses in the area, we have some clear
footage of events leading up to and after this assault.
''Police want to identify the man who was wearing a blue
hoodie and maroon pants, and in one shot is riding what has
been described as a silver/grey mountain bike.
''We appeal to any one that may have been around that area at
the time and saw a person matching this description to
contact police."
The man is described as Caucasian, in his early 20s, and of
skinny build. He had shoulder-length dark hair that was dirty
and unkempt.
The crime will be featured on Police Ten-7 tomorrow night in
a bid to help identify the man.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Oram on
(06) 351 3877, or anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800
555 111.
