With Lost in Thailand, the hit sequel to Lost on Journey, Chinese writer/actor Xu Zheng makes a promising—if polite and familiar—directorial debut. Thailand's like a neutered version of the comedies Todd Phillips has recently revived. It's too amiably good-natured to be as offensively contrived as dreck like The Hangover and its knockoffs. When Xu Lang, Zheng's harried businessman, texts "I'm lost" to his unhappy wife, predictably admitting that his frantic quest to close a mysterious business deal in Thailand is not going well, it's more charming than it is trite. Zheng is apparently familiar with a number of cliched situations and generic characterizations. This character has seen a lot of movies, which he acknowledges when he compares his misadventures with high-strung traveling companion Wang Bao (Qiang Wang Bao) to Lord of the Rings and Infernal Affairs. Bao's best scenes are especially memorable, like when he fights a Muay Thai fighter, or gives Bo a brutally inexpert massage. Meanwhile, metro-sexual business rival Gao Bo (multi-hyphenate filmmaker Huang Bo, whose blockbuster comedies Crazy Racer and Crazy Stone helped propel Zheng to stardom) maniacally chases Lang and Bao's odd couple. Zheng errs on the side of improvisatory and lazily assembled Apatow-esque narrative episodes; many of those scenes are amiably goofy, but it all holds together based on his cast's charm and energy.

NEW YORK (AP) — Next week, you'll get the chance to see a small play by Neil LaBute that's running off-Broadway. If you do, you'll have a leg up on LaBute — he's never seen it.
LaBute, the prolific screenwriter and playwright behind "Fat Pig," ''In the Company of Men" and "Your Friends & Neighbors," last year submitted a tiny work to the British-based collective Theatre Uncut, which asked writers worldwide to respond to their current political climate.
LaBute contributed "In the Beginning," a 10-minute, two-person play in which a skeptical parent and an idealistic child debate the Occupy movement. It was among the highlights of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer.
Now it's one of five plays from the series that have made the trip to New York, appearing off-Broadway beginning Tuesday on Theatre Row. It will make its American debut without its playwright having ever seen it.
LaBute, in an interview this week from Los Angeles, laughs that he's contributed several of his works to various causes but hasn't been able to watch them, including a new one he just gave to a group in Washington, D.C., pushing for gun control.
"You have to be able to hand them over at the steps of the orphanage and say, 'Look, they're good kids. I can't raise them. I managed to have too many. I had a litter. I'm not going to drown them. I'm going to give them to you and you do what you want," he says.
Joining LaBute's work are "The Price" by Lena Kitsopoulou from Greece, "The Breakout" by Anders Lustgarten from Britain, "The Birth of My Violence" by Marco Canale from Spain and "Spine" by Clara Brennan from Britain.
Theatre Uncut was born in 2011 when artistic directors Emma Callander and Hannah Price asked a number of local writers for short plays in response to government spending cuts. Theaters across the world were invited to stage the works over a one-week period without having to fork over licensing fees.

The Neighbor's Italian Bistro opened in 2001 by brothers Patrick and Christopher Person. The former restaurant, Adrian's, was owned and operated by their parents until the brothers took over. The Neighbor's guarantees that every item on the menu is the best quality money can buy and the service given is essential to the ultimate dining experience.
My husband and I have dined at Neighbor's several times and have brought our family. This is our go-to place when folks visit from out of town. I was shocked to see such low ratings so please let me assure you all this is a great place to eat. I will try to give an honest and balanced review based on close to 20 experiences:
Actual chefs prepare the food, the sauces are all crafted not out of a can. There are several core pasta dishes and if you love heavy cream sauces Neighbors will be like dying and going to heaven for you. I prefer lighter fare, there is less to choose from but every time I find something delicious.
Every time I've been to Neighbor's I've received some of the best service I've ever had. If you go at happy hour you can get 1/2 off glasses of wine and starters! Yum! The ambiance is elegant and inviting.If you plan to dine from 6 to 8pm on a Friday or Sat, recommend you make a reservation, but the waits are not overly long if you don't.

The word 'drudgery' is becoming increasingly used in connection with work related to agriculture, especially in the case of women. Farmers and farm scientists alike agree that a large portion of agriculture labour is not possible without women, and these activities are usually back-breaking for them, in the literal sense.
Since it is mostly work that involves standing for a long time, these activities get classified as 'drudgery'.
To make work easier for women, the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University is developing new technologies and also equipment / machinery. But the university rues that most of the women are not interested in learning about these, and even those who are aware of these technology / machinery, are not keen to use them. They prefer to follow the conventional method of cultivation.
To make these women-friendly measures reach the farm women, TNAU is using various methods.
Winter school
The Agricultural Machinery Research Centre of the university is organising a 21-day winter school on 'Drudgery Reduction Technologies Useful for Farm Women and Farm Workers' for agricultural scientists who are involved in research and extension work. Nearly 25 scientists from nine states are participating.
According to Training Co-ordinator and Head of the Centre B. Sridhar, gender friendliness was being focused in the designing of farm implements and machinery. Since most of the farm work was also being done by women, there was a need to help farm women by mechanising farm operations. The Centre has developed women-friendly cono weeder, drum seeder, coconut tree climber, bunch harvesting stand, etc., to make sowing, weeding, harvesting, etc., easier for women.
"The winter school is to equip these scientists with the technology and machinery available to reduce drudgery in farm work being done by women. They will go to their respective states and spread the awareness and also motivate women to do away with the conventional methods and use technology. The school includes classes, visits to various industries manufacturing such machinery, and also demonstration of machinery in the wet lands of the university," he said.

Batch Blast Extractor: an automated blastx parser application

BLAST programs are very efficient in finding similarities for sequences. However for large datasets such as ESTs, manual extraction of the information from the batch BLAST output is needed. This can be time consuming, insufficient, and inaccurate. Therefore implementation of a parser application would be extremely useful in extracting information from BLAST outputs.
We have developed a java application, Batch Blast Extractor, with a user friendly graphical interface to extract information from BLAST output. The application generates a tab delimited text file that can be easily imported into any statistical package such as Excel or SPSS for further analysis. For each BLAST hit, the program obtains and saves the essential features from the BLAST output file that would allow further analysis. The program was written in Java and therefore is OS independent. It works on both Windows and Linux OS with java 1.4 and higher. It is freely available from: http://mcbc.usm.edu/BatchBlastExtractor/ webcite

Since Google began mapping the world with Google Earth and Google Street View, an entire pastime - Google mystery hunting and debunking - has cropped up. From unidentified flying objects to people with horse heads, there's no shortage of weird things that have appeared on Google Earth and Street View.
Jesus in a Field
Some people claim to have spotted the face of Jesus on everything from Kit-Kat bars to the tops of Marmite jars. Things take on much more grandiose proportions with this face of Jesus spotted in a field in Hungary, via Google Earth, this spring. Google has refreshed the imagery for the file since the face was spotted. In 2005, Jesus' face was also spotted in a Peruvian sand dune.

Giant Pliers
Earlier this year, a pair of giant floating pliers was spotted on Street View, about to strike a chimney. Google has since removed the image from its shots of the UK town of West Bromwich, and says the oddity was due to one of its technicians making adjustments to the car-mounted camera.

Yen weakens in early Asian trade on Monday after G-20 talks
Published on Feb 18, 2013 7:18 AM
TOKYO (AFP) - The yen weakened in early Asian trade on Monday after a G-20 meeting ended with the world's leading economies pledging not to devalue their currencies, but without targeting Tokyo over the yen's plunge.
The dollar strengthened to 93.90 yen, against 93.53 yen in New York on Friday, while the euro fetched 125.40 yen, from 124.97 yen in US trading.
The G-20 pledge echoed a similar recent statement by the G-7 richest nations which was also approved by Japan, whose monetary policy has been heavily criticised over claims it guided the yen's steep fall in recent months.
Japan's new government and the central bank have denied they were orchestrating a devaluation of the yen to make the country's exporters more competitive, but all eyes were on the G-20 talks to see if Tokyo would be singled out for criticism.

This plugin makes videos responsive using the FitVids jQuery plugin on WordPress.
The plugin works perfectly and offers a nice choice of jQuery configuration options.
I've marked it four out of five because the installation instructions mislead me. The plugin did not work for me until I defined a jQuery selector in the plugin's options page therefore it's not simply a case of "1, 2: You're done!" as stated.
Were it not for this tutorial, I would have assumed the plugin to be faulty:
Great plugin nonetheless.

China announces first fuel price increase for the year
Published on Feb 24, 2013 10:41 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China will raise the retail price ceiling for petrol and diesel from Monday in response to increases in global oil prices, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said on Sunday.
Petrol price will rise by 300 yuan (S$59.50) per tonne and diesel by 290 yuan per tonne, the NDRC planning agency said in a statement on its website, www.ndrc.gov.cn. The announcement confirms an earlier report by energy consultancy C1 Energy.
The increases, the first this year, come after crude oil prices passed a trigger point at which the country can change fuel prices. Higher domestic fuel prices would be in line with recent rises in global oil prices, which have been propelled by signs of economic recovery in the United States and Europe, the planning agency said.
China last adjusted fuel prices on Nov 16, when it cut them by about 3 per cent in response to a fall in crude oil prices.

Docu to open Cinemalaya
It's a first for the indie fest and marks a breakthrough for nonfiction films
For the first time in its nine-year history, a documentary, Baby Ruth Villarama-Gutierrez's "Jazz in Love," will open the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival on July 26 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
It's a fitting homecoming for the docu, which was part of the fest's 2012 Manila Film Financing Forum, where it received the Regal Prize (which comes with P25,000) from producer Lily Monteverde.
"I'm happy and humbled that docus are now being allowed to shine," she told the Inquirer. "But I'm nervous, too."
The significance of a docu opening the annual fest is not lost on the filmmaker. "It lights another candle of hope on how we share Filipino stories."
For a docu "to open a festival that mainly features fiction films" somehow bridges the gap, "unifying two cinematic forms."
(Acclaimed films like Jeffrey Jeturian's "Kubrador," Brillante Ma. Mendoza's "Foster Child" and Adolfo Alix Jr.'s "Adela" opened the fest in previous editions.)
She considers this development a "celebration of Filipino documentarians like Nick Deocampo, Ditsi Carolino, Kidlat Tahimik, and Kiri and Sari Dalena, among others."
Although not as popular as fiction films, docus are slowly but surely making waves at the Cinemalaya. Last year, among the most talked-about premieres in the fest were docus: Benito Bautista's "Harana," Michael Collins and Marty Syjuco's "Give Up Tomorrow" and Lyca Benitez-Brown's "Dance of My Life."
"These films are not the weekly docus we see on TV and yet they are some of the best… I hope this world premiere will open the minds of viewers … to look at things differently from now on," she said.
Gutierrez, who worked in ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs for six years, admitted that she herself had "to learn and unlearn" not a few things when she started work on "Jazz in Love," which was a product of the French-German-Filipino documentary workshop spearheaded by the Goethe-Institut, the Film Development Council of the Philippines, the Philippine Independent Filmmakers Multi-Purpose Cooperative and other agencies.
"Jazz in Love" tells the story of a gay Filipino (Jazz) who enrolls in Deutsch language classes in order to marry his German boyfriend (Theo).
Gutierrez stumbled on the story by sheer good fortune.
"I found myself attending a three-month Deutsch class for immersion, upon the suggestion of Teddy Co, one of the Goethe workshop's monitoring heads. That was where I met Jazz and other Filipinos who were there to embrace a new language in the name of love, marriage and a foreign visa," recounted Gutierrez, who was producer of Yam Laranas' docu "Asia's Titanic" (aired on the National Geographic Channel in 2009).
Jazz's story emerged "from more than 100 hours of footage shot over several months of research work," she said. "I followed 18 people and became close to Jazz and his friends."
It was not easy being trailed by a film crew for over a year, but Jazz and his German boyfriend Theo eventually gave their complete trust to Gutierrez.
The docu is "designed as a chronicle of Jazz's journey to the altar and serves as a video diary of his impending migration to Europe."
"We want to celebrate this kind of love," she said. "It's important to tell Jazz's story in light of the prevailing hypocrisy in society. More than a love story between two people, it's also a love story between a Filipino and his country—where migration has become rampant."
Gutierrez pointed out that "an average of 350 Filipinos depart the country daily as partners of foreign nationals … that's an estimated 127,750 Filipinos annually."
The docu is Gutierrez's modest contribution to the ongoing discourse on the issue of "love and leaving."
"Jazz in Love" will also have a screening at the Alabang Town Center on July 27 (7 p.m.) and at the CCP Little Theater on July 29 (3:30 p.m.).

Celebrating Our Heritage: A History of St. James Presbyterian Church, Truro, Nova Scotia.
The worship committee of St. James Church in Truro, Nova Scotia, has produced a fine 115-page history of the congregation on its 75th anniversary. If the list of ministers who have served the congregation is any indication, this is a congregation with a diverse history. Ministers as different as Ritchie Bell, later to become a professor at The Presbyterian College, Montreal, to Perry F. Rock-wood, who left in 1947 to establish a radio ministry, served the congregation. The present minister, Clair MacLeod, has served the congregation for 25 years.
Other interesting features of this history include: eight pages of colour photographs of the church's stained glass windows, a brief history of early Presbyterian churches in the Truro area and the results of the 1925 vote on Union by local churches that voted overwhelmingly in Favour (only one congregation voted to remain Presbyterian by a single vote).
Sprinkled throughout the narrative are black-and-white photographs from past and present.

A Polish wrestler says he is returning his Olympic medal in protest over the sport's proposed removal from the program of the 2020 Games.
Andrzej Supron, who won silver in the Greco-Roman lightweight division at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, says he is ''surprised and outraged by the suggestion to remove this ancient sport from the games.''

Commerce's Locke promises changes
A new advisory council will provide Commerce and other agencies with ideas for how the government can help push federally-funded technologies into the commercial marketplace. Locke said his agency will do its part by speeding up the patent process to one year and get certain grant funding out in 30 days. Commerce also is working with NIH and NSF on the i6 Challenge where $12 million is available for companies to commercialize technologies.

STAR METRICS Promises to Measure Federal Science Investments
A new initiative promises to monitor the impact of federal science investments on employment, the generation of knowledge, and health outcomes, to a degree not previously possible. The Science and Technology for America's Reinvestment: Measuring the Effect of Research on Innovation, Competitiveness and Science, or STAR METRICS, is a multi-agency venture that will be lead by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Together, NSF and NIH have committed $1 million for the program's first year. The first phase of the two-phase program will use university administrative records to calculate the employment impact of federal science spending through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and agencies' existing budgets.
Agencies create a STAR to guide science policy
The STAR METRICS will create a reliable and consistent inter-agency mechanism to account for the number of scientists and support staff that are on research institution payrolls supported by federal funds. Details from Julia Lane, program director with the National Science Foundation.

In Wisconsin's early days, many communities had at least one brewery of their own. Some of those buildings remain today, but not many are still operating as breweries.
Those that are definitely are worth the road trip.
Sand Creek Brewing Co. got its start in less historic surroundings. Jim Wiesender and Cory Schroeder, a couple of young beer enthusiasts who wanted to build their own brewery, began the business in the late 1990s in a farm building and semi-trailer in Downing.
By 2004, Sand Creek had grown so much that the company decided to buy Pioneer Brewing Co., which had been operating in the Oderbolz Brewery in Black River Falls.
The Oderbolz family built the brewery in 1856 and operated it until a string of tragedies led the family to sell the business in 1911.
The building continued to operate as a brewery until 1920, when it was shut down by Prohibition. In 1932, a fire destroyed the upper floors, which were later rebuilt.
In the ensuing decades, the building was used for everything from raising turkeys to making land mines. In 1996, Pioneer Brewery purchased the property, and returned it to its brewing roots.
At the former Pioneer property, Sand Creek uses gravity-fed brewing, a historic process in which the grains are introduced on the top floor and systematically transferred through the brewing process between floors, using gravity until the finished product is stored in cooling caves below ground. Sand Creek beers are stored where the brewery building's original beer cellar was.
Sand Creek Brewing - now co-owned by general manager Wiesender, brewmaster Todd Krueger and sales manager Mark Knoebl - produces more than 29 different products, some with the Sand Creek label and some for contract customers.
The brewery's gift shop is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with tours at 3 p.m. on Fridays. Groups can contact the brewery and set up private tours by calling (715) 284-7553 or through the Web site, www.sandcreekbrewing.com.
On the road to Potosi
As I was getting ready to leave Sand Creek and move on to my next stop, Knoebl suggested I have lunch along the way at the Hideaway in Chaseburg, on Highway 162 in Vernon County, between Highway 14 and Highway 35, the Great River Road.
The Hideaway Brew, Pub & Restaurant, operated by Jack and Carol Wuolle, is another building with a rich past. One of the pub's attractions is a wall of photographs dating back to its days as one of the area's first hotels. Rumor has it that Ma Koenig, who bought the hotel in 1911, used the upstairs rooms as a brothel and built a still in between floors during Prohibition that would flow moonshine, or water, depending on who was visiting.
(For directions and a look at the Hideaway's menu, go to www.hideawaybrewpub.com/)
From Chaseburg, you can take Highway 35 south or choose any one of the winding back roads through the hollows and ridges of the Driftless Area down to Potosi, and the Potosi Brewery.
Founded in 1852, the Potosi Brewery was a strong regional beer-maker, staying in business until 1972. In 1999, the building was purchased by a group of concerned citizens who wanted to save it. Before renovation began, the Grant County site was listed as one of the 10 most endangered historic landmarks in Wisconsin.
The non-profit Potosi Brewery Foundation (www.potosibrewery.com) is completing a multimillion-dollar revival of the property. With more than 7,000 square feet of museum space, the site will be the home of the national museum of the American Breweriana Association, a group dedicated to preserving the history of American breweries.
In addition, the site will have an interpretive center for the Great River Road; a Potosi Brewery Transportation Museum; and a microbrewery and restaurant, complete with gift shop.
The brewery plans to bring back some of the old Potosi recipes, using water still flowing from the original spring and running underneath the building. (The spring is visible through a panel in the floor of the restaurant.) Also intact on the site is a 75-foot cooling cave that houses old brewing artifacts.
Although the entire operation is not scheduled to open until June, portions of the museum will be open to the public at the end of this month.
The brewery-museum project is already generating economic development in the area, including a new community center, specialty shops and, possibly in the future, a new hotel.
With 30,000 to 50,000 visitors expected per year, the community hopes the influx of people and dollars will fuel new growth.

text: A 28-year-old Louisiana woman was wrongly arrested twice by the Clay County Sheriff's Office in Florida and intends to sue. Ashley Nicole Chiasson of Chalmette shares the first and last name of a woman wanted for grand theft and writing bad checks. Chaisson's attorney Andrew Bonderud says the CCSO had precise details about the woman wanted for the crimes. "Sometime between obtaining that accurate information and submitting an affidavit to obtain an arrest warrant, my client's information was substituted for the other Ashley Chiasson's information. And so, a warrant was issued for my client's arrest." Chiasson spent 28 days in jail in January and another week in jail last month. During the course of the ordeal, she lost her home. A similar situation happened with the same sheriff's office last year with a 17-year-old young man. Bonderud says there's obviously a lack of communication in the office. "As I understand it, two totally separate groups of Clay County Sheriff's officers, who apparently don't talk with one another. If the second group had only spoken with the first group of investigators, they would have learned that there was great progress being made towards my client's complete exoneration." In a statement, Clay Country Sheriff Rick Beseler (above) has apologized to Chaisson and admitted that deputies used shortcuts in the investigation. Bonderud has sent the sheriff's office a letter of intent to sue, as required by Florida law. Bonderud says the whole experience has been incredibly taxing on Chiasson. "She's having a real hard time recovering. She's stressed out. She's suffered financial losses. She's having a hard time getting back on her feet."

Hi everyone,
With the visual refresh going live this week I thought I would take the time to write an article explaining a bit more about our front-end architecture and how we are making the Marketplaces responsive.
Currently the Envato Marketplaces' are 7 years old, and as we work on new and existing features we are taking every opportunity to bring the front-end code inline with our modern coding practices. In most cases this is a complete rebuild of a module's HTML and CSS.
While we are still a while off making every page responsive the hard work going towards this goal is having massive benefits straight away. As we progressively update, modularize and responsify our front-end code we are freeing ourselves from any legacy front-end constraints, enabling us to ship new features and design changes much quicker, and eventually a mobile friendly Envato Marketplaces.
Great move,!
And btw, I'm wondering that envato will create a mobile apps for IOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
I think that'll be great.
I know there are already several apps on envato extras.
But they are just too limited.
But, Imagine that we can reply user's comments on the go, get notification for each sales, new review for our item(s), chit-chat on envato forum that the existed apps can't.
+100 for moving towards responsive
Responsive will be awesome when browsing on the go. All your small changes are starting to come together. Thanks for keeping us posted in the community, as you can tell we have some passion in here
This would be awesome
Keep up the good work guys. I for one am enjoying seeing all the changes here lately, appreciating that they are small steps toward a bigger goal.
Can't wait to see it all come together.
Thumbs up
Finally.. cool.

As of Saturday, January 14, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Never judge the fight in a team by the ugliness of its record. Because Drew didn't fall into that trap, it survived a frenetic Friday finish for a 51-49 victory at Stockbridge.
"People can think this is a three- or four-team race if they want to, but it's definitely not," Drew coach Jarrod Davis said, alluding to the Region 4-AAA standings in which Eagle's Landing, Henry County and his Titans (13-3, 6-2 in the region) have separated from the rest of the pack.
Stockbridge (5-9, 4-4) hardly played like a team losing its sixth straight game, though that was the result. The Tigers fell behind 23-5 in the game's first 12:34 as Drew played pedal-to-the-metal defense, gambling fearlessly in the passing lanes and tempting the Tigers to throw up ugly, long-distance shots — which they did.
But Stockbridge settled down, overcoming the first hurdle by cutting the deficit to single digits by halftime (nine points at 25-16).
"We had to adjust to their tempo and once we did that, we were fine," Stockbridge coach Bryan Lamar said. "Once we got over that initial push, I thought we did a good job. I expected to win. I know we can compete with anybody."
The Titans tried to restore the game to blowout status, bolting to a 14-point lead again late in the third quarter as Derrick Frye — who led Drew with 22 points — completed a three-point play to make it 41-27 with 1:21 left in the period.
The Tigers came up with some defensive stands of their own. That led to opportunities on the offensive end and, as Trevin Joseph began to find the range, their deficit kept melting away. Nathaniel Green, who had missed ugly early, didn't give in and his persistence led to the short jumper that drew the Tigers even at 47 with 2:37 to play.
"Coach Lamar has got them playing hard as I don't know what," Davis said. "He made some good halftime adjustments and once they had the momentum, it turned into a good high school game."
Frye answered Green's shot with a layup 12 seconds later that gave Drew the lead for good, though the outcome — and the game's timing — was still in doubt.
The score remained 49-47 into the final seconds, when the Titans double-teamed Green and got a steal that led to Eloka Olisa's layup with 10.6 seconds to go.
Joseph, who led all scorers with 23 points, was fouled shooting a 3-pointer and went to the line for three shots. He made two, bringing the Tigers to within 51-49 and forcing them to foul.
How long it took them to get that foul was a source of contention for both teams. The clock ran down to 0.6 seconds before Cory Graves went to the line, but the officials ruled that two full seconds should be placed on the clock and Graves awarded two free throws.
Graves shot one, missed, and players scrambled after the loose ball not realizing it was a two-shot foul. The clock ran down to 1.1 seconds before Graves shot his second free throw, and when he missed that one, too, the Tigers had 0.9 less on the clock to attempt their low-percentage, last-ditch heave.
Not that Davis thought it should've gotten that close.
"We've got to do a better job finishing," he said.
The Drew coach credited "some seniors who've been in this gym before and learned from it" for the Titans' poise under pressure.
"They understood what they were doing," Davis said. "Tonight was a good indication of good senior leadership."
Stockbridge got some good senior leadership out of forward Leon Prunty, but they didn't get enough of it because he was in foul trouble all night.
"That hurt," Lamar said. "Mentally, he was the most prepared to play. We talked to him about attitude and focus and gave him a personal challenge, but unfortunately he got into some foul trouble."

We had an outstanding tour guide and a small group of 7. The only problem was the huge crowd inside the palace. It would have been much nicer if we could have been picked up and delivered to our hotel.

I prefer to know who will be with me in the delivery room when the action starts! HOWEVER, if the better doctor is in a group practice, I will make a tradeoff and let go of my solo practicioner idea. I have heard that Dr. Dicey Gay Lee might be a good option as well as Gaylon Brunson and that the doctors at AR women's center are good too (Dr. Wyatt, Garner, and Hutchinson). Can you share your experiences and recommendations (and warnings too if necessary)? Any help you can offer is GREATLY appreciated.
Recommendations for Solo Practitioner OBGYN?

I'm currently 34 weeks with baby #2 and 38 years old with GD. Dr. Richard Wyatt was my doctor 9 years ago when I had my daughter. He has been my doctor for about 15 years. He took great care of me the first time and has been super concerned this time. With my daughter, my water broke at 39 weeks and I was in labor for 26 hours. He asked me about a c section 6 hours before I gave birth. But I told him I wanted to keep going unless there was a problem and the baby was in dangerous or we could see it wasn't possible and he was totally okay with it. Hope this helps you.

Hi Momtoprincessalison,
Thank you SO much for such a detailed response. This is exactly the type of information I need. It really helps to hear about a personal experience when you are seeking a new doctor. Because Dr. Wyatt is in a group practice, is there a big chance that someone else will deliver for you if he is not on call? I am not sure how group practices work...I saw on his website that they rotate call with doctors outside of the clinic? How does this work?

Dr. Garner is my OB. LO was born in July- 6 weeks early. I actually delivered at St. Vincent because that's where I work, but I loved Dr. Garner. He is very professional, allows time for questions during visits and does not rush. I also liked that he would ask my husband if he had any questions. All the nurses and staff in the office were very pleasant during my visits. Dr. Hutchinson actually delivered LO- missed Dr. Garner by 30 min. It was the first time I'd met him, but he was very professional and patient with a good bedside manner. I would highly recommed either of them.

Sue Stanfield is like many another person who, after a long, careful search has at last found the job she'd been hoping and praying for: Director of Hands of Hope food pantry. She could talk all day, in her excited, animated way, about how she loves the work and the people she works with and the people they help.
And she never seems to tire of taking visitors on a guided tour through the building, showing the small waiting room, which is crowded four days a week with people who would often go hungry without Hands of Hope; then Beth Grindle's small, intricately organized office; and then the food–selection area and the stuffed warehouse.
Talking and touring, Sue is bright-eyed with wonder that her job could be so ideal for her.
However, being Director of Hands of Hope is not a new job for Sue Stanfield. She's been doing it for 27 years, ever since Victory Life, the sponsoring church, was, as Sue puts it, "just a double-wide trailer."
On the August day the food pantry opened in 1989, 18 families showed up. In the September just past in 2013, Hands of Hope moved 154,000 pounds of food, and 858 families selected food from its shelves and bins. The total number of food distributions to local households in the preceding nine months was 29,279.
"The need is getting greater all the time," Sue says. Beth reports that as many as 68 new families have come to Hands of Hope in a single month.
The food pantry has had its present location on the northeast corner of 12th and West Main in Durant for just over 12 years. Until that time, it was on the church grounds on University Blvd. When the pantry was displaced by fire in 2002, the saved food supply was moved to a church-owned facility in Boswell. Daily for three hot late-summer months, the food would be hauled into Durant "in a horse-trailer and distributed under shade trees."
Hands of Hope Looks Toward the Future
The present building, opened to end the Boswell-to-Durant-to-Boswell hauling, will soon be remodeled and connected to a large warehouse that Hands of Hope will manage for the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank as a pick-up station for smaller food pantries throughout the southern Oklahoma area.
It will contain many refrigerators and freezers so that more meat and other perishables can be made available.
"Right now, parking and freezer space are our two biggest problems," Sue says.
The remodeled facility will have a larger waiting room and shopping area for clients. The new facility and parking will occupy the entire block on Main Street from 7th to 8th. During remodeling and construction, Hands of Hope will be housed in the old White's Garage on South 9th.
And the entire facility will be air-conditioned for the first time. Beth continuously shows a smiling, friendly face except when someone asks her about the lack of air-conditioning in the present building. Then the smile vanishes, the corners of her mouth sag, and she's not so cheerful any longer. The staff from office to warehouse, indoors and out, paid and volunteer, do their jobs year-round without air-conditioning, cooling or heating.
Groundbreaking for the new facility will be held very soon.
Staff and Volunteer Work Force
Hands of Hope has a few paid staffers: Stanfield herself, two warehousemen, and office manager Beth Grindle. It often also has a few community service workers (individuals required by a court judge to work for free a specified number of hours for some charity following conviction for an offense).
One person who did community-service work at Hands of Hope found the experience so positive that he later returned and hired on as a paid worker.
But volunteers compose most of the food bank's labor force, numbering 15-25 people at a time.
All members of the staff are looking forward to having more space. The areas now used for waiting room, offices, and warehouse are inadequate for the parts they play in the overall operation.
Beth Grindle's Organization
The pantry serves between 800 and 900 families a week, about 250 a day, and is open four hours a day four days a week, plus 4:00-6:00 pm on Monday.
At food distribution times, the number of clients waiting to be served is often too many to fit into the waiting room (which has only 28 seats), so some must stand in line outside (no matter what the weather) until a slot inside opens up.
In such cramped quarters, it is only through careful organization that the pantry is able to operate smoothly. To keep the line of clients moving efficiently, Beth developed a system of numbered tags and color-coded disks.
The organization begins at the front door, which is kept locked on service days. A volunteer oversees the waiting room and unlocks the door to let another client in when there is a vacant seat.
At the check-in counter, each client presents a plastic identification card with a bar code in which identification and number in that household are embedded. An attendant swipes the card with a scanner, then gives the individual a numbered tag (indicating his/her place in line) and two colored disks, their differing hues indicating the weekday of service and the number in that household. Disks and numbers are surrendered at checkout to be used again.
Providers for home-bound people pick up food for clients who can't get to the pantry themselves.
The system now used has been developed through considerable trial and error. For instance, Hands of Hope had earlier tried stocking a series of shelves with food items and letting clients "shop" in those shelves, but that approach was labor-intensive and required closing down the line when re-stocking was needed. With the pallet system, clients choose foods in the warehouse itself, eliminating that extra step of moving items to shelves.
Clients take shopping carts as they enter the pantry and follow a designated route through the warehouse, passing pre-loaded pallets of canned and packaged foods. Signs at each pallet indicate how many of each item a client may take (based on the number in that household).
When one food pallet empties, a forklift quickly removes it and brings in another. In addition to the pallets, the shopping area includes shopping carts, boxes, and wooden bins holding items such as bread, crackers, and fresh produce. Meat is available from freezers.
Helping People
"Personal choice is very important," Sue stresses.
Hands of Hope initially tried distributing standardized boxes of food put together by the staff, but soon learned that some items were thrown away or went unused because clients' families couldn't eat certain foods or did not have facilities to cook them. Now clients select from within a category of canned vegetables or packages of pasta the items that their households prefer.
Not only does the personal-choice system cut down on waste, but it allows clients to feel more "in control" of their families' meals. It's part of the pantry's philosophy of respecting clients as individuals.
Along the route from waiting room to pantry service area is a prayer room (actually a prayer corner), where clients may step out of line and pray with an attending pastor if they desire, but no one urges them to do so; the prayer room is available only on request.
Although Hands of Hope Is a ministry of Victory Life Church, its purpose is simply to feed and not to proselytize. Clients aren't given religious handouts or preached to.
"When people come to volunteer," Sue explains, "one of the first things I say to them is 'Don't judge. Just feed. Don't judge; just love and feed.'"
When Victory Life Pastor Duane Sheriff first brought up the idea of a church-sponsored food pantry 27 years ago, Sue wasn't interested until a friend referred to it as a "ministry." Then, things clicked, and she came to view the pantry as a means of serving the needs of fellow human beings.
"I didn't know a thing about running a food pantry when I started," Sue laughs. "It has been very much a matter of learning on the job."
Trying to meet individual needs includes communicating with them by whatever method works best.
For Latino clients with limited English, a speaker of Spanish is available to assist.
For those with hearing problems, a volunteer deaf interpreter who knows sign language is there on site to help. Deaf clients know to come at the time she will be working.
Some clients don't read well and so have trouble deciphering the signs in the warehouse that indicate how many of a certain item a client may take. Volunteers who monitor the pallets are trained to notice and offer help to anyone who seems not to understand a sign.
Volunteers Offer More than Food
"People who volunteer here have to be committed," Stanfield notes. "They have to show up when they're scheduled to be here. But I'll find a spot for anyone who's ready to help."
Hands of Hope volunteers have included paraplegics and people who are blind, oxygen-dependent, and/or elderly. (One man volunteered at the pantry for several years and finally retired at age 95.)
Sue always stresses to volunteers the importance of helping clients retain their dignity in what is for many a difficult situation: having to ask for help.
One of her favorite anecdotes is about a man who came to the facility incognito, assuming that getting aid from a food pantry had to be a demeaning experience. Sue was leaving on "a bread run" that day when she passed a large man in bib overalls who was coming in. On returning, she learned that the man had asked for help with the application required of clients, saying he didn't have his glasses. A volunteer guided him through that process and helped him choose foods. While checking out, the man broke into tears.
"I really came to see how you're treating these folks," he admitted, then presented Hands of Hope with a $100 donation because he was so impressed that clients were treated with respect.
Each Friday, Hands of Hope receives the order Sue has placed online that week with the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank in Oklahoma City, in semi-trailer trucks (one of them a freezer).
The Durant Wal-Mart also regularly donates foods, especially meats and breads, that are nearly out of date.
Victory Life Church, as well as groups within the congregation, contributes to the pantry, with individuals either giving cash or specific foods that Sue has indicated are needed at a given time.
Donations and volunteers from the Durant community are also greatly appreciated, of course.
"Cash donations are especially welcome," Sue points out, "because they let me purchase foods to fill whatever gaps we have. And it's a cost-effective way to contribute, because I can buy food cheaper than individuals can at a grocery. That's the power of buying in bulk."
Even with the expanded new quarters Hands of Hope will occupy, she fears some folk may not get the help they need," especially some elderly, who need everything but ask for nothing."
She's also concerned about the working poor, particularly since food stamp allotments have been cut. A household doesn't presently qualify for help from the food pantry if someone in it is working.
Concern for others is, in Sue Stanfield's own words, what has kept Hands of Hope going for 27 years: "I worry about people who are really hurting."

Following a year of grief, Evelyn Sweeney is finally ready to move on. Pondering her new path in life, her mind drifts to her first love, George MacAllister.
When the lives of these two women cross, they discover that one heart-shaped ring binds their stories together. But will the results be a rekindled faith and new hope? Or will it lead them both back into the darkness they've fought for so long?
Jessica wants to escape from the father of her son and decides to take her son down to Santa Cruz for the week. Evelyn is a year into being a widow after forty years or marriage and in her sixties when she decides to look up her old flame from forty years before. Nick is a firefighter who longs for his own family. The lives of all these characters dovetail around George MacAllister. Ms. Kyle does a wonderful job of getting all these characters lives to unfold as each is told separately until they all meet. "The Heart Stone" is a wonderful, charming romance. The themes of letting go of past hurts, questioning whether you can be forgiven and trusting again is explored with a deft hand by Ms. Kyle. Ms. Kyle does an outstanding job of bringing her characters to life and you really want their romance to succeed. I am already looking forward to more from this talented author.

The Heart Stone lets us meet characters who are asking "Can I let go of that hurt?" "Can he forgive me?" "Is it right to love again after my husband dies?" and finding that God, as the author of love, doesn't want them to shut love out.
Evelyn needs to find the man whose heart she broke years before, Jessica needs to release her fear of Jacob's father and open her heart to the godly man who wants to help her.
Exploring the themes of forgiveness, trusting again and moving forward after loss, this book will touch the heart of anyone who has walked in those shoes.
"I found the stories I was most drawn to deal with women's issues, particularly self-identity; so writing women's fiction was a natural fit for me. I love writing about characters who connect or reconnect with someone from their past, whether they are friends, family members, or long lost loves." Sherry Kyle said, in an interview, and that is what she has wonderfully succeeded in with this novel.

Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder
Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder
Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder ($70.00 for 0.51 oz.) is a "highlighting bronzer for the face and body." It combines a "highlighting beige and a pink bronze" to "enhance the complexion while warming the skin with an iridiescent glow."
It's an oversized bronzer housed in a wooden compact that slides open (held together by three magnets). It has all of the hallmarks of luxury with engraved detailing on the outer cover with the Guerlain initials and logo, along with the intricate design of the bronzer itself. The center of the bronzer is a muted gold, while the outer portion is a rose-tinted bronzy brown. Together, they create a soft tan bronze with a golden metallic sheen. It's more of a sheen than shimmer, but it's not a very subtle sheen–I mention this because many of Guerlain's products have a softer shimmer and sheen, but this powder has more sheen than Meteorites or the like. The powder has a soft, smooth, very refined texture that feels like silk moving across the skin.
Worn, it imparts a glowy sheen (I wore it on the tops of cheeks and softly brushed around the temples) that's a soft, golden bronze. It worked well paired with a blush, too, though it could be worn alone for something very bronzy. It also has fantastic wear; it stayed glowy and smooth for eight hours before starting to fade away. The compact itself is done very well, though it's not the most secure packaging and wouldn't be my favorite item to travel with. For $70, at least they give you half an ounce of bronzer, though–not many will get through that!
The Glossover
Guerlain Terra Inca Sublime Radiant Powder Review, Photos, Swatches
|It's a nice highlighter-bronzer mix for those wanting a very glowy, golden beachy bronze coloring. If you prefer a more natural bronzer, you might consider the regular Terracotta line, which has more matte finishes.

One must think about where one wants to be and if one's way of life resonates with something deep within, it's only then that every single day of the experience is fulfilling, being a sponge-soaking it all in. So, decide what you truly want to be part of your life story. Start with what makes you happy.
You're in college only once; you're only a student for a while, yet these years of our lives seem to be most defining about who we are. This growing phase contains our most vivid memories, things we realise we've learnt that we'd never forget — some call them moments of impact; this is the phase that we're growing into our own and really looking inside (and outside to the world) answering big questions: What do I want to do with my life? Where do I want to be? Who am I really? This is exactly where I was and this is why I decided to set out and seek.
Having completed three years at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, Bangalore, studying Product Design, I decided to pursue my senior and final year making use of an incredible Exchange Program (through Srishti) with the University of Michigan - School of Art & Design, Ann Arbor.
The process required sufficient planning and paperwork along with patience in application, approval of portfolio and GPA scores and with the guidance of my advisors from both Srishti and UMich I had no doubts on where I wanted to be.
With over 40,000 students, 200 undergraduate majors, 100 doctoral and 90 master's programmes, known for its various achievements in every field, spread over 712 acres of beautiful diverse Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan is easily one of the finest educational institutions in the world. Having come from institutions with small student bodies (The School KFI-Chennai, Srishti), entering enormous university town Ann Arbor was overwhelming. With the big blue and maize Michigan 'M' plastered everywhere, on signs, cars, hoardings, shops, t-shirts, and even shoes I was slowly getting used to this brand-America university. The School of Art and Design however was distinctive, merged with the Taubman College of Architecture, locked in picturesque North Campus, truly a hub of creativity.
Through the year I involved myself in a variety of work: multidisciplinary live-projects, social entrepreneurship and outreach, industrial design, documentary filmmaking and so on. There's so much to take in and adjust to, a lot of change, but it's an exciting change; one where when you get up on a frosty Monday morning, you've got class at 8:30 a.m. (even though you went to bed only at 4:30 a.m. completing that assignment), you're living on some coffee and a bagel, running through snow to get to that critique session — you're finally inside, take off your winter coat, sit down, take a moment-breathe, begin focusing on the class, your professor in deep discussion with your peers on semiotics and the "importance on where the form language you create in your design models come from" and you just know it — you know that this is what you love doing and this is where you are meant to be; right here, right now, and nothing's worth more than this feeling. I felt that everyday.
Working in the Ceramics and Wood studios late into the nights, working the laser cutters and CNC machines at the Fabrication labs, sleeping on the couches, being woken up by the Janitors for classes (I carried toiletries in my bag!), continuing with the grind all over again — the Art and Design studios are dangerous places for those who loved their work, I was thoroughly engaged!
Campus life
Another interesting aspect was my living accommodation. I stayed in a Co-op, definitely a unique model, embracing the diversity of cultures and ethnicities. Started in 1932, Inter-cooperative Council provides quality housing where students from all over the world come together, live as a community, sharing responsibilities and sharing fun (Co-op parties were crazy!).
Going to another country, across the world, studying, living, interacting with different people, places and environments is a significant choice and can be life-changing on our outlook and exposure. One must think about where one wants to be and if one's way of life resonates with something deep within, it's only then that every single day of the experience is fulfilling, being a sponge-soaking it all in. Because if nothing draws you to the place, then what would you take from there? What do you want to learn about the people, culture and most importantly the design? What is their design philosophy and how do they live? End of the day it's all adding to the person you are, so this university you choose will become a part of you. So, decide what you truly want to be part of your life story. Start with what makes you happy.

The moderators do a good job. They stepped in when there was an antisemetic remark I agree, A spirited argument is good. Brow beating is not. While what you say is true...you don have to read it, I wonder, actually I taled to 8 Sailnetters at a get together last Sunday for brunch. Almost all of them had something to contribute about the Bounty in opinions. Almost al of them said they didnt contribute because they didnt want to get skewered by the zealots in the thread. So how many other people do you think that encompassed.
While it isnt a Victorian culture in here and doesnt need to be, losing peoples opinions just becauise of the tone of postings which may provide different insight and perhaps a new view in a learning experience isnt necessarily a good way to go either. I am not without fault for contributing to that, but as far as Ive seen I am the only one to openly admit that. The rest defend their tone vociferously and yes zealously.

Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Sunday announced a new operational strategy for the protection of Islamabad by April 15 which will involve joint patrolling by the Rangers and the police.
Faced with flak after the suicide attack on the district and sessions court, he had called for an improved strategy for the capital. At a high-level meeting attended by top government and police officials, Mr. Chaudhry Nisar said the government would provide necessary funds to start this system of joint patrolling by Rangers and the police making it efficient and responsive, according to a statement.
He said that the Rangers have been given this extra responsibility to make Islamabad a safer city by ensuring security to the life and property of every resident and as a measure to give extra confidence to the people.
The minister gave directions for the immediate purchase of patrolling vehicles along with the recruitment of trained retired army personnel in the police. He also directed the police to train some of its personnel on the pattern of an Elite Police Force. The Minister also asked the Federal Investigation Agency to improve its working and gave directions that strict action should be taken against those officials who have been found guilty of involvement in facilitating human trafficking including their removal from service.
