Customer Reviews for Large Windows Yellow / Cream Patterns Roman Window Shades
By Kat from Minneapolis, MN
Fabric color/pattern is beautiful, but overall, a little too stiff for my liking. I ordered and received fabric samples, and finished product was a match, but I though edges would be sewn, not just clean cut.View this product
"beautiful high quality"
By customer
I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.View this product

Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration
Last Updated: 7/7/2008
At the age of 14, I started having serious hallucinations and blackouts. I'm half African American and half Native American, and I didn't try to get help because, in both communities, they called that "going to the white man." But I became an outcast, because my symptoms got so bad that none of my friends wanted to have anything to do with me.
Instead, I lived with these symptoms for four years. My mental illness got so bad that I couldn't cope with school and they asked me to leave. I went to Miami to live with my father, but he threw me out; and from the age of 15 until I was 18 I lived on the streets of Miami, with constant hallucinations and delusions.
At 19, I joined the military. But I was still sick and, after basic training, they gave me an honorable discharge and directed me to get mental health treatment, so I did. After taking medication and seeing therapists, I went back to work two years later, as a cook. Four years after that, I got an associate's degree from the Restaurant School of Philadelphia and became a chef.
I worked as a chef for about 15 years. But there was a lot of stigma around mental illness in the restaurant business. Every restaurant I worked at, I saw other people disclose about themselves and they wound up being badly harassed and losing their jobs. So I hid my illness.
In 1995 I started working part time for the Chester City Consumer Center . After attending the Center for six months, I had asked the director if there were openings and she said she had wanted to hire me for the last six months. I'm still at the Center, now as its director, and it will be 10 years in November. Working with the Mental Health Association of Southeastern Pennsylvania, which is out there advocating for consumers, has helped me. Until I started working here, I felt like no one really cared.

Since 1989, the Department of Health has been ranking cardiac surgery programs in New York State to provide patients with an objective guideline for selecting a cardiac surgery program. The formula used to rank hospitals takes into account data on the severity of illness seen in each institution�s patient mix, and provides each hospital with a measure of �expected mortality rate� based on the overall health of the patients treated.
While achieving the lowest risk-adjusted mortality rate in the State, Winthrop�s expected mortality rate was among the highest in the State, indicating that its cardiac surgeons are effectively providing care to the most critically ill patients. These include the elderly and patients with
underlying complications and illnesses that are expected
to impact on their ability to recover from major surgery.
�This is gratifying recognition of the efforts of our entire cardiac surgery team,� said William C. Scott, MD, Chairman of Thoracic-Cardiovascular Surgery at Winthrop. �These statistics verify - to our patients, the general public, and the cardiologists who entrust their patients to us for surgical care - that our program is second to none in
the State.�
�It is the teamwork, experience, dedication, and skill of the entire staff in our Institute for Heart Care�s cardiac surgery program that make the difference, and these statistical results confirm that difference,� said Daniel P. Walsh, Winthrop�s President and Chief Executive Officer.
In addition to annual rankings, the Department of Health also provides data on the performance of the State�s 33 open-heart surgery programs over a three-year period. From 1996-98, the most recent years for which statistics are available, Winthrop�s risk-adjusted mortality was the lowest in the Metropolitan region. Its coronary artery by-pass outcomes surpassed all other major medical centers in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester.
�We have a very special program here,� concluded Dr. Scott. �This achievement recognizes not only the technical skill of our surgeons, but also the significant contributions of all our nursing, other professional, and support staff who deliver pre- and post-operative care to our patients. I�m very proud of all they do to make our program so special.�
The State reports on outcomes for patients undergoing coronary artery by-pass surgery only. However, a large number of patients are undergoing increasingly complex open-heart surgery procedures such as valve replacements and simultaneous by-pass and valve replacements. Last year, Winthrop�s cardiovascular surgeons performed nearly 1,100 open-heart operations.
Its cardiac surgery team is also on the cutting-edge of newly emerging techniques, including minimally invasive open-heart surgery, and �beating heart� surgery, which spares patients the trauma of being placed on a heart-lung machine. They have also pioneered the use of �artificial heart� technology as the only Long Island surgeons with experience in implanting the Left Ventricular Assist Device. This equipment assumes the pumping function of the heart�s left chamber, providing patients with end-stage heart failure with a window of time to wait for a suitable donor heart to become available for transplant.
Winthrop�s cardiac surgery program is a pivotal component of its Institute for Heart Care. For additional information, please call 1-800-443-2788.

iHerb Customer Reviews
For me, the texture and flavour of this bar is not very pleasant. It's not bad, but there are much better bars to be bought (and made at home). The texture is sort of crunchy and a little gritty, and the chicory flavour is a bit overpowering for my liking. The espresso flavour is, however, strong enough. I would also like these better if they had more protein, but I thought I'd give them a shot since I otherwise liked the look of them. I wouldn't buy them again, but I will finish the box - probably by crumbling them on top of yogurt or something, rather than eating them alone.
While this is not the best tasting flavour, it still works!

Hi Everyone!
I'm gearing up for a week of amazing things and if you knew what was coming up this week, you may wonder why I'd be so excited.
Well, I and a few others are surrounding a friend who is really fighting a major battle in her life and I'm not excited about that, in fact it weighs heavy on my heart as I question God and petition Him for His Grace and trust Him for His answers,
This is where the excitement come in
He Always Shows Up!
He is Always Faithful
He Is God
Through this experience with my friend, I've seen God do incredible and amazing things and I look forward in anticipation for His presence.
Your Prayers are Appreciated.
I just finished listing my ebay offering for this week
But, I gotta tell you, I'm so excited about listing this set of handmade hang tags.
They are so sweet and feature three ladies of the 1917 current fashion in their wonderful hats.
They are sweet little pieces using those 1917 newspaper clippings I've been having a ball with.
There are 3 in the set, each with black cords for hanging and, in the
ebay listing, I've included some ideas for other uses for them.
Click below to check it out.
And, just when I thought the giveaway had been sent,
the day after I received the lovely package from Christy Meyers of CC's Whimsies,
This little gem was stuck in my door when I arrived home yesterday
A wonderful, signed and numbered print from the artist herself
Thank You, Christy, I'm honored
Love this and love the message

Wide-eyed and smiling, the four-year-old twins looked up at me. This was their first flight, and their own dad (my husband, Jay) was the pilot. The boys held my hand as they jumped up and down like Mexican jumping beans, hardly able to contain their excitement. Just then, I looked at that long, dark runway and wondered if everyone noticed that I was not my usual enthusiastic self....
I thought, "Okay --- All four of us are flying together. What if we need to make a forced landing? Are we going to crash? Is our will up to date?" As a daughter of a pilot, I should have known better! I was surprised at the thoughts that inundated my mind. After all, I started flying with my dad at age four!
...A well-trained pilot, a sound aircraft, and a deep trust in God -- what was I worried about? I tried to get a grip on my thoughts to keep them from drifting.
I took a deep breath, said a prayer, and summoned my girlhood courage as I looked up to a brilliant blue sky. After a quick drink of water in the small terminal, I found the family sitting near the fence in front of the runway...
"Boys, I'm taking you for your first plane ride today," Jay announced as the twins snuggled next to him on the bench that Saturday at our local airport.
We took off.
We flew.
We landed!
I share this story because it reminds me so much of the common fears that moms face as they embark on homeschooling. Fear. Doubt. Feelings of inadequacy. "Will I fail? Will I ruin my kids? What if we crash?"
So, I'm here to encourage you to dismiss those thoughts as soon as they arrive. Remember that you are ready. You will succeed!
Just like our flight that beautiful Saturday afternoon, our eleven years of homeschooling ... there might be a little turbulence here and there ... but the plane will land. You'll do fine!
For other encouraging blogs, please see Life Lessons Learned From Telemann, Fact #1 About Homeschooling and 1,976 Empty Seats.
Enjoy the ride.

Windows is pretty unlikely to get viruses and malware if you don't run IE or
Outlook/Outlook Express and firewall the crap out of it. I never get
anything on my windows system at work.
Users being highly computer savvy does a lot to protect against malware.
That said, generaly internet access on linux is not done as root, which
limits the impact of malware somewhat. Also, the software is generaly
written with security in mind, and fixes are usualy relased faster then
microsoft. But lack of it being targeted by malware authors does have a
signifigant amount to do with it.

The recently retired Sag Harbor Post Office worker on sponging stamps, her favorite customers and life after the P.O.
When did you begin working with the post office and where?
My first job with the post office was in Farmingdale as a carrier. I did that for four months and then I got the job in Massapequa in April of 1979. From there I transferred from Jericho and from there I had put in to be transferred out here. I was moving out here so I kept coming to the Sag Harbor Post office. I finally got the job at Thanksgiving time in 1987. We [with her late husband Dominick Dolloso] bought property in 1984 and had a house built. And the house was fixed and finished in '86. So I was living here and driving to Jericho.
When you first started working at the post office, in 1979, do you remember what the cost of a stamp was?
I think it was like 15 cents. Then all of sudden one year after another it seemed to keep raising quickly.
What are the biggest changes you have witnessed in the last 30 year working in Sag Harbor?
When I first started out here we didn't have computers, and there was no adding machine. I had to use stamps a lot. If it was a package that cost $3 I would have to put out all the stamps, sponge wet them and put them on the package. And then I had to add up the purchases with a piece of paper and a pencil. We also had books to look up a zone if you had a package and then weigh it and price it out from looking through a book. And now, everything is computerized – it's an improved and faster system.
And also there used to be three routes and now there are six routes. Carriers, when I first started, had to use their own vehicles. Most of them had station wagons then. Now some of them have SUV's.
What year were computers introduced to the Postal Service?
I want to say sometime in 1992, we had a basic computer and then eventually we had an upgrade, probably ten years ago. That was the newest version with touch screens – so it did simplify life. You could look up information faster; and of course I remember when you had to lick the stamps, now we have the peel off stamps.
What was your favorite part of working at the post office?
My favorite part was probably the people. My co-workers and I had some good laughs. I loved the customers, the ones who were friendly and would tell a joke or share a story about their family with me. So that was the nicest part of the job.
What was the most horrifying experience you have had at work?
There is this one customer that came in and it was 4:30, and she stopped in our office, she might have been moving. She came in with all these parcels – and even the post master told her that we had to close at five. But she just kept bringing in parcel after parcel. The post master told her she only had until five, but she started screaming and yelling. So we ended up staying until probably six o'clock helping her.
Were there any other funny memorable moments?
We also used to have a carrier that had a car, but he wasn't known for his driving skills. Well a customer of ours called and told us that a driver drove over some ducks in her yard. It turned out they were plastic ducks, but they were in the yard, so that still wasn't very good that he drove onto the lawn.
I also used to have this sweet old man that would come in and hand me his bank books, instead of his postage. And when I talked to the girls in the bank, they told me that 'that's okay, he comes in here and hands us his mail.'
Has anything changed specifically this year, in light of the economy? I heard the post office is now going to be closed on Saturdays.
Yes I guess they are having cutbacks, and cut down on personnel. So I know they are trying to shorten routes, but they are going to raise the stamp again in May.
Speaking of cutbacks, have you lost anyone out of the Sag Harbor office?
We were supposed to lose one clerk; but I retired, and then maybe another girl will be leaving in three months or so.
Did that play a part in your decision to retire?
I thought of it, I could retire in 2009, but it did cross my mind. I already had my 30 years in January. The union, as far as I knew they were going to send her out or another clerk if I didn't leave.
I'm sure you can recognize many of the regular customers, how many people do you know by name from working there?
I think that we have 2900 boxes, and I would say that I know a third of them. Now a lot of time I don't know somebody's name, I just know their box number. I've gotten to know some of the families because of their parents and some of their children. So I've seen quite a few families grow up and bring their own children in too.
Had you ever thought of transferring to another post office here – like Bridgehampton or Southampton?
At one time, I was thinking of transferring to Sagaponack, because another girl I worked with in Sag Harbor transferred there. It's a really quite small little post office. One time I was thinking of going over there because it was a little quieter than Sag Harbor.
How did you celebrate your retirement?
At work they had a cake for me and the carriers gave me some lottery tickets. And the post office gave me a watch. And some of my co-workers took me to Bobby Vans. And some of the people I used to work with took me to the Inn Between, Buckley's just Friday night in Hampton Bays.
And now, with all this free time, how will you spend your retirement?
Well I'm in a quilting group they call the Unhampton Quilters. I haven't really been quilting much lately; I've been working and everything. And I want to start doing more traveling. And I want to start going to the beach more. A big dream of mine has been to go to Ireland; maybe this year or next year.

EESS Spring Seminar Series - Paul Koch, Professor and Dean, Physical & Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz
EESS Spring Seminar Series - Paul Koch, Professor and Dean, Physical & Biological Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz, "Shifting Baselines on the Antarctic Coast: Using Mummies to Understand the Vulnerability of Seals to Changing Climate", Abstract: To conserve biodiversity, we need to understand the vulnerability of species or ecosystems to anticipated climate change. Vulnerability is a function of exposure to climate change, sensitivity to the forcing, and adaptive capacity. Paleoecological records of the response of species or ecosystems to past climate shifts may provide critical insights into sensitivity and adaptability. I'll explore these issues for southern elephant seals, a high latitude species that will be exposed to large climatic and oceanic changes in the coming centuries. While they are extremely rare in the region today, southern elephant seals occurred along much of the southwestern coast of the Ross Sea, Antarctica, from 7000 to just 500 years ago. Elephant seals are scarce in the region today because land can only be accessed by passage over large, land-fast ice shelves. The presence of elephant seals, as well as raised beaches formed by wave action, indicate that the western Ross Sea coast lacked such shelves for much of the Holocene. My colleagues and I have explored the response of elephant seals to this major environmental change. We used ancient DNA to reconstruct shifts in seal abundance, stable isotopes to understand changes in seal foraging ecology and Ross Sea oceanography, and osteometrics to understand population characteristics. I'll explore the environmental factors beyond the change in ice shelves that may be driving changes in elephant seal ecology and Ross Sea oceanography. I'll end by considering what the response of southern elephant seals implies about their vulnerability to future climate change and offer a few highlights from our ongoing work on mummies from three seals that are still common in the Ross Sea today - crabeater seals, leopard seals, and Weddell seals.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed new measures to give property tax relief to homeowners who were affected by Hurricane Sandy.
In a statement from his office Thursday, Bloomberg said the tax initiatives would apply for those "whose homes were severely damaged" during last month's storm.
Specifically, severely impacted homeowners would receive a three-month, interest-free "grace period" on property tax bills from the city from Jan. 1 to April 1 of next year, and would also receive tax rebates. The rebates first need approval from the New York Legislature.
"Those who suffered severe damage face a long period of uncertainty and considerable expense in making decisions about rebuilding and returning to their homes," said Bloomberg. "We want to do all that we can to ease their heavy burdens."
The grace period applies to some 3,000 residential properties that received a red tag from the city, meaning they need extensive structural repair before they can be inhabited. The average property tax fee that would be ameliorated is around $506.
The Finance Department is also working to ensure that assessments for 2014 reflect post-hurricane conditions.

Defective Thermal Cyclers
I recently became aware that a certain manufacturer's products manufactured between 2005 and 2007 were defective and there was no recall.
What should I do, if anything? My concern is there are a number of thermal cyclers in use that are flawed. Since the technology was licensed, the problem may not be limited to one manufacturer.
(I am not in the science field whatsoever.)

Request Login ID
Request Login ID
You need a login ID and password to electronically file your organization's IRS Form 990-N (e-Postcard).
Exempt Organizations:
If you are filing or assisting someone who is filing, you will need the organization's employer identification number (EIN). The EIN is a 9-digit number with the following format ( xx-xxxxxxx ). When you enter the EIN on the next page, the system will create your login ID based on the organization's EIN. The login ID will be the EIN (without the dash) plus a two digit number (i.e. xxxxxxxxx01). Your login ID will never change. If another user requests a login ID for the same EIN, the last two digits of his or her login ID will be different (i.e. xxxxxxxxx02, xxxxxxxxx03, etc).
If you are a professional preparer or you are assisting more than one organization, you can request one "Preparer" login ID that allows you to submit Forms 990-N (e-Postcards) on behalf of multiple exempt organizations. After you select "Preparer" on the next page, you will be prompted to enter your personal login ID. Your login ID will not be based on the EIN of an organization.
Once you have completed the login ID request process, you will receive an email containing an activation link. Click on the link to activate (and use) your login ID. The e-Postcard website will

About My Bungalow
Curious if my house is a Sears "Modern Home No. 2008, The Somerset" style. It has the bay window off the dining room and very similar layout. It was built 1919 in a railroad town of Laramie, Wyoming.
Favorite Details
Original windows, wood floors, charm and sweet aura of hard-working and loving families!! The kitchen is small but we have maximized with pull out cutting boards and small decorative table. I love the original light fixtures, door hardware and doors!
Lessons LearnedCreate your own spaces. We also remodeled the basement to provide space for the kids.
Jackie Craven, About.com Architecture, says:
Your bungalow is delightful and the size and layout is, indeed, similar to the Sears Modern Home No. 2008, The Somerset, mail order house plans. However, the Somerset is front-gabled, while your house is side-gabled with an entry porch at the front. Possibly the original floor plan was remodeled. Or, possibly the builder was inspired by the Sears plan, but did not follow it exactly.
If your house was built using a Sears mail order house kit, or a mail order house kit from one of the other catalog companies, you'll find physical evidence such as labels on the rafters or plumbing fixtures. For tips, see: About Your Mail Order House.

THE discovery that genes can be "silenced" using a technique called RNA interference is creating a stir in medicine. And now it seems the technique is even more powerful than thought, able to switch off genes permanently by physically altering our DNA.
This could open up new avenues for fighting diseases, and perhaps even explain the workings of our cells. "So far we have only shown this for one gene, for cells in a test tube," says Kevin Morris at the Beckman Research Institute in Duarte, California. "But I'm optimistic that it has wider implications." His team is already planning to adapt the technique to shut down the
When genes are switched on, they are copied into messenger RNA, which is then used to make the protein. RNA interference, or RNAi, relies small pieces of RNA called siRNAs which either trigger the ...

This meeting will take place in a private home. If you're interested in attending, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
While working in a deli owned by a larger-than-life foodie, a young Michael Paterniti encounters what was then considered the finest cheese in the world - Paramo de Guzman. Too poor at the time to buy a taste, Paterniti instead vows to one day meet this fascinating, magical cheese again. Years later, Paterniti, with family in tow, makes good on his vow by traveling to the rustic Spanish village where the cheese is produced.

What's in a name: Pettinato Beach
Where is it?
Pettinato Beach is located at Beach 8 at Presque Isle State Park.
What's the story?
Early on a summer day, Lake Erie seems calm. Beach-goers dip their toes in the water at Pettinato Beach while lifeguards keep a lookout.
There's no greater tribute for a man who devoted his life to lifeguarding at the peninsula.
Frank Pettinato made a 56-year career as a Presque Isle lifeguard -- mostly as chief lifeguard -- and also coached water sports at Academy High School. From 1936 to 1992, the tough-as-nails Pettinato was a notable figure in the community as an outspoken safety advocate. He also mentored many other former lifeguards, including U.S. fighter pilot Col. John Boyd.
The beach was renamed in his honor in 1983. Pettinato died Oct. 10, 2000, at age 87.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Do you back the D-backs?
A blog is supposed to be written based on the opinion of the writer. Allow me to break the rules because this blog is about your opinion.
What is it about the Arizona Diamondbacks that has your attention?
Actions speak louder than words. Every topic selected on Doug & Wolf is chosen by your actions and not your words. What sports do you watch on TV? What do you buy tickets to see? What play-by-play do you listen to on our station? What previous topics were brought up on our show that spiked our ratings?
We get bombarded with requests to talk about different sports but if there aren't actions that actually back up those requests, a lot of weight isn't given to those requests. This is not meant to sound offensive, but we are not a charity. This is a business. If we are talking about a sport, team or topic that does not interest you, you flip the station. When people flip, we lose ratings. Lose ratings often enough and people (namely, me) lose jobs.
If skateboarding suddenly becomes a sell-out draw at either of the arenas and television ratings explode, we're going to talk about it at least once an hour. A great example of this is the Coyotes. A few years ago our show barely discussed hockey, but this year attendance and ratings kept trending upward. Correspondingly, so did our Coyotes coverage on the show.
In the month of April, the D-backs were atrocious. Every game they were finding different ways to lose. The ratings on TV and radio showed you didn't care to go through the pain with them. The Doug & Wolf show responded by going heavy NFL Draft, Suns and NBA playoffs in April. I'm a baseball guy. As much as I'd like to talk D-backs for four hours, your listenership is more important than my opinions. I haven't given up watching the D-backs, but I was under the assumption that we weren't going to be talking much more about them through the rest of the year.
In the last two weeks, my assumption has proven to be wrong. I'd like to know your opinion as to why you've come back to the D-backs. Lately, ticket sales are up. Walk-up crowds have increased. Ratings are going up for Diamondbacks baseball broadcasts. You are interested again in watching and listening to the Arizona Diamondbacks. I'm thrilled, but I have to know one thing: why?
We all know this is a fair-weather sports town. Everyone's a fan of our local teams when they win. However, most "Arizonans" drift back to their original hometown team when a local team goes in the tank. It is not normal for one of our teams to put themselves into a playoff position that isn't "mathematically eliminated," but is "mathematically improbable" while you grow more interested.
This is great for my profession because the more loyal you are, the better for sports radio. Truth is, it's also the better for you because the more loyal a fan base is, the stronger their voice is in the future of the organization. No franchise will ever admit that, but if a loyal fan base turns on ownership, management or the players, change comes very soon.
Your eyeballs, ears and wallets have spoken loudly for the last two weeks. Tweet me @doug987fm or e-mail me here and answer one question: why did you come back and "back the D-backs?"

Tesla owner has a meltdown: Breaks his own car before crashing
A Tesla Model S owner, who was driving along the Pacific Coast Highway in California earlier this week, caused a traffic jam when he stopped his Model S electric supercar in the middle of the road. Not only he stopped his Tesla Model S in the middle of the road, but he also started dancing without any clothes, in full public view.
Once he was done with dancing, his beautiful Model S caught his attention. He now started jumping on the car, broke the glass, and started driving again. Only this time, he was driving dangerously, and still without any clothes. He soon crashed in a MINI hatchback.
All this was being filmed by Teddy Bliss, who has now uploaded the same on YouTube. He says that the full drama lasted for about 30 minutes. Though the fire brigade and ambulance were the first to arrive, they were not able to stop the Tesla owner. He could only be stopped once the police arrived, but by that time, he had already crashed into another car. He was later taken into custody.

The Need for Volunteers
Harrison County CASA Program, Inc. offers a volunteer opportunity like no other. As officers of the court, CASA volunteers are empowered to make a lifelong difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.
CASA is the only volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens as officers of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers typically handle just one case at a time-and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that children need in order to thrive.
The Volunteer Commitment
People who give their time to CASA advocacy come from many different places. Some have years of education and professional experience working for children and families. Some have themselves grown up in the foster care system and felt the sorrow of having to move from home to home.
Being a CASA volunteer does not require any special education or background, simply the desire to help abused and neglected children find safe, permanent homes.
So what does it take to become a CASA volunteer?
- The first step: Every volunteer passes a background check and participates in a 30-hour training course.
- After successfully completing the training, the volunteer is assigned his first case. A volunteer's average time commitment to a case is approximately 10 hours per month.
- Volunteer advocates are asked to dedicate themselves to a case until it is closed. The average case lasts about a year and a half.
- Advocates are supervised every step of the way and always have resources readily available.
Volunteer Commitment Top Ten List
While CASA programs vary somewhat from state to state and community to community, the following are typical duties of a court appointed special advocate volunteer:
- Conduct an independent assessment by reviewing all pertinent documents and records and interviewing the child, parents, social workers, foster parents, teachers, therapists, daycare providers and other relevant persons to determine the facts and circumstances of the child's situation. To do this effectively, volunteers spend considerable time getting to know children and gaining their trust.
- Determine the thoughts and feelings of the child about the situation, taking into account the child's age, maturity, culture and ethnicity and degree of attachment to family members, including siblings. Also to be considered are continuity, consistency and a sense of belonging and identity.
- Seek cooperative solutions by acting as a facilitator among conflicting parties to achieve resolution of problems and to foster positive steps toward achieving permanence for the child.
- Provide written reports at every hearing which include findings and recommendations. The report documents the extent of the volunteer's investigation, lists each source of information and includes sufficient facts to justify the recommendations.
- Appear at all hearings to advocate for the child's best interests and provide testimony when necessary.
- Explain the court proceedings and the role of the CASA volunteer to the child in terms the child can understand.
- Make recommendations for specific, appropriate services for the child and the child's family and advocate for necessary services which may not be immediately available.
- Monitor implementation of case plans and court orders, checking to see that court-ordered services are implemented in a timely manner and that review hearings are held in accordance with the law.
- Inform the court promptly of important developments including any agency's failure to provide services or the family's failure to participate.
- Advocate for the child's interests in the community by bringing concerns regarding the child's health, education and mental health, etc. to the appropriate professionals to assure that the child's needs in these areas are met.

Forget Kim! Kendall Jenner Says Kourtney Is the Most Stylish Kardashian
Kim Kardashian might be the most famous Kardashian sister, but that doesn't mean she's the best dressed!
Little sister Kendall Jenner — an up-and-coming model with her own penchant for pretty things — told ELLE magazine she thinks her eldest sibling, Kourtney, has better style than her more renowned sis, Kim.
"I love Kourtney's style," Kendall told ELLE, but admits both sisters have their specialties: "Kim's more fun to go shopping with because she can take you to the huge stores and get you fun stuff, but Kourtney's better at finding cool things like vintage and putting them together."
As for who looked the best when all three of her socialite sisters donned the same outfit from their recently-released Kardashian Kollection? Kourtney told Us Weekly that honor belongs to Khloe.
What can we say? This whole family knows how to work it!

FEELING groggy because of lost sleep? Blame your genes. People with two copies of one variant of a gene that helps control our body clocks turn out to suffer worse cognitive deficits after sleep deprivation.
Researchers led by Malcolm von Schantz of the University of Surrey, UK, recruited 12 volunteers with two copies of the "long" version of the gene PER3, which contains a longer stretch of repetitive DNA, and a dozen with two copies of the short version.
People with the long genes tend to be night owls - late to bed and late to rise. After staying awake all night, this group only scored half as well on cognitive tests as their "short" counterparts (Current Biology, DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2007.01.073).

"We were looking for some race car invites for our son's 2nd birthday. All of the ones we looked at (online) were bulky and too busy.

I also like how you can add a photo to the back of the invite."

ARC, ARC Runners' Club, Condura Skyway Marathon, Corregidor Marathon, full marathon, fun run, half marathon, LSD, marathon, marathons, Milo Marathon, run for a cause
Here is a list of runs I would not miss as the year comes to an end and the new year begins. While more runs may be added in the coming weeks, these are the ones that I really would not want to miss. In fact, I have already registered in some of them.
CommUNITY Long Distance Run.
Organized by A Runners Circle Phils and ARC Running Club, the LSD will be held on October 19, 2014 in Ternate Cavite. As its name suggests, it will be some kind of a group run for the ARC Runners. I will think of it as a good opportunity for my own 'balik-loob' with ARC, especially because it has been a long time since I ran with these guys. It would also be nice to meet the new members of the Club. Just thinking of the run brings good memories of all those Thursday runs in Manila.
On the other hand, the run is also "for a cause" so part of the donations (the joining fee is aptly called a donation instead of just registration fee) will be used for the Club's outreach program. So that makes it all the more interesting, a better reason for joining.
Pinoy Fitness 21K Challenge
Happening in November 16, 2104 at Bonifacio Global City, the event is part of the regular runs hosted and organized by Pinoy Fitness. Like ARC, Pinoy Fitness is another running family that made me want to keep running in the past three years. I have already missed the previous events that they organized (due to some pressing matters during those times) so I have to make it sure that this time, I will be there.
Again, as suggested by the event title, this will be a harder challenge as there is a set cut-off time. Before June of 2013, the standing challenge for me then was to finish a half-marathon in under two hours. I was already very close to the target (my best time is 2 hours and 3 minutes) but then the school year opened and running was a luxury I did not have. So the goal was never reached.
I don't, however, expect to reach that goal during this run. But I shall be expecting myself to at least beat the cut off time of 2 hours and 30 minutes (which was actually my time in my very first half marathon three years ago).
38th Milo Marathon – Finals (Half-marathon distance)
For December 2014, I am thinking of registering for the half-marathon distance of the 38th Milo Marathon (Finals). I've already missed the Manila eliminations and it's not likely that I will register in the unfinished provincial stages so I might register for the Finals. Unlike the other runs on this list, however, this is one run that I can miss.
Corregidor Marathon 2015
I have always thought of Condura Skyway Marathon to be my 'come back' marathon after my long hiatus from running. But I cannot miss the Corregidor Marathon again (I've already missed the first one) so I have to register this time. Technically, that makes it the 'come back' marathon. And strictly speaking, if I run this marathon it would seem unwise to be running another marathon (Condura) after just two week. But that is ok because the uniqueness of the event actually makes it just perfect for the training plan I have in mind. Since there will be no time limits for this event I will just treat it as the last LSD. It's even made better by the fact that the terrain provides enough uphills (or probably too much of it) and downhills that will be helpful in preparing for what would be a rolling skyway two weeks after.
Happening in January 17, 2015, the run will go through the roads around Corregidor Island.
Condura Skyway Marathon 2015
If I may use what others have already coined and used to often, this is supposed to be my 'runniversary'. This is why it has become the end and my running year and the start of another one. This is also why I really don't want to miss this. For me it is the culmination of my one year of preparation. (Well for this time, it's actually just six months since I only started my serious training this August.)

Xi'an Famous Foods - spicy Chinese lamb burgers, noodles, soups
Woorijip for cheap and fast (but pre-cooked) Korean food
I would advise against going to Carmine's (sorry simon). I'm from Europe as well and almost any cheap (as well as expensive) Italian restaurant I've been to there has been far superior to Carmines. I mean, they make their Tiramisu with whipped cream and I don't think it contained even a hint of mascarpone, how can you call that stuff still Tiramisu? Unless they have changed 180 degrees since my last visit I would not recommend going there.
Sorry I cannot contribute something more useful here - just wanted to save you from Carmine's.
Thanks for all your suggestions, I'll definitely try some of them. A friend also suggested Minca, they have a variety of pork, chicken and veggie broths and also chicken as a topping.
Just wanted to add this to the list if someone else is interested.
I would like to introduce one of my friends to the deliciousness of real ramen but she does not eat pork.
Do you know of any place in the city that serves tasty pork-free ramen? I remember eating super-flavorful beef ramen once but that was in Kyoto, a bit far away for just a quick dinner.
Thanks for your help!
If you thought the first floor of the Golden Shopping Mall (profiled yesterday) in Flushing, Queens, was cramped, try heading downstairs.

Nicolas Mahut – Florian Mayer
Since doing well in Montpellier about 10 years ago, Mahut has failed once and again to do something big here, even though his French and playing at home, where come of his compatriots often thrive the most.
Mayer's game is better suited for indoors, and he has won their only previous meeting on a surface like the one here, while Mahut made it 1-1 in h2h when winning outdoors on hard court.
Mayer has already dealt with one big, big server in Gilles Muller in the first round, which makes me think he can also overcome Mahut.
Jarkko Nieminen – Paul-Henri Mathieu
Mathieu has been away from the game a long, long time, struggling to get back from injury, and even though he won his first match, one has to wonder how much he's up for.
Nieminen is a fine indoor-player, and also got off to a good start to the year by taking his 2nd career title before the Australian Open. He leads Mathieu 3-1 in h2h, and that was when Mathieu was fit. I'm going with the Nieminen again.
Ivan Dodig – Guillermo Garcia-Lopez
Yesterday Dodig proved a winning bet and let's take him on again. Like I said yesterday he's the defending champion here, and thereby has a lot of points to defend in the ranking.
En route to his title last year he took down Garcia-Lopez on his way. The latter doesn't appear to be in better shape this time.

Merger mania
CNET News.com examines
the mad rush to create
the few multifaceted
telcos meant to dominate
in the new century.
Talks between the two companies heated up during the past week, in the wake of SBC Communications' proposed $16 billion acquisition of AT&T. Reports leaked out on Thursday that Verizon had made an informal bid for the company.
Verizon isn't the only company interested in MCI. Last week, Qwest Communications International offered to buy the carrier for $6.3 billion, according to reports.
This is not the first time Verizon has explored acquiring MCI; the Bell considered buying MCI four years ago, when it was called WorldCom. According to testimony this week at the fraud trial of former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers, Verizon proposed a merger back in 2001, but the deal was abandoned because WorldCom executives feared that Verizon would uncover the ongoing fraud.
Like AT&T, MCI's long-distance business has been declining for the past couple of years, but Verizon could still benefit from the company's long list of corporate customers. Verizon could also use MCI's national and international Internet Protocol networks to reduce costs in its existing business.
Today, Verizon and the other Bells must pay connection fees to long-distance carriers such as MCI and AT&T to carry traffic between their own geographically dispersed regional networks. But if Verizon owned MCI's network, it wouldn't have to pay these fees. In addition, Verizon could eliminate operational redundancies in areas where the two companies' networks overlap.
The rapidly consolidating telecommunications market could result in a new type of phone company.
Traditionally, phone companies sold voice services and little else. But the telecommunications provider of the future will need to offer a broad suite of services that includes voice, video and data over both wired and wireless infrastructures. Analysts believe that pairing local and long-distance phone companies will help these carriers reduce expenses so they can focus on developing new networks to carry these services.

Food That Makes You Gain Weight
8 Reasons Wheat Is Making You Gain

The Wheat-Weight Connection
Image: Thinkstock
It's been drilled into our heads that whole grains are heart-healthy and essential to a diet that keeps us slim and satisfied. But the wheat toast you opt for over a muffin or bagel in the a.m. may not be as smart of a dietary decision as once thought. In his best-selling book Wheat Belly, preventative cardiologist William Davis, MD, argues that the world's most popular grain, found in everything from lager to licorice to lunch meat, is destructive to weight loss—and overall health.
According to Davis, the compounds found in wheat are responsible for appetite stimulation, exaggerated rises in blood sugar, and the release of endorphin-like chemicals that get the brain hooked on breads, pastas, and crackers, while increased wheat consumption can also be linked to higher incidences of celiac disease, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and schizophrenia.
Related: Eat to beat diabetes. This 2-week meal plan can help you drop up to 13 pounds!
If you think this talk about wheat sounds like a new spin on the gluten-free fad, it's not so simple. While wheat is the dominant source of gluten in the human diet—gluten is what gives dough the ability to be stretched, rolled, and shaped into bagels, pretzels, and pizza crusts and is the culprit underlying inflammatory damage to the intestinal tract in those with celiac disease—it also contains a unique carbohydrate called amylopectin-A, which sends blood sugar soaring higher than table sugar or a candy bar ever could.
This isn't your great grandmother's wheat—or waistline—we're talking about. Amounts of wheat's destructive compounds have increased over the past 50 years as the grain has been hybridized and crossbred to be resistant to drought and fungi, produce higher yields per acre, result in better baking consistency, and cost less to produce. Not surprisingly, the increase in wheat in the American diet parallels obesity rates that have nearly tripled since 1960.
We took a close look at Wheat Belly, chatted with Dr. Davis, and discovered eight ways that wheat could be wrecking havoc on your weight loss efforts and how going wheat-free can help you slim down.

But then again, if you even have to ask about two bikes that are so entirely different I don't know if the KTM is the right choice. The 25% pavement would sell me on the EXC. But then I consider having to slide a feeler gauge under a valve a fair trade for the extra power and top shelf suspension. I learned a long time ago that no matter how long the service intervals are or who made the bike you still end up working on it every singe time you hammer one offroad.
I dont want to sound cocky, all dirt bikes are great and its a matter of opinion what one likes. I have had Xr 600's for all my riding life (22yrs) I've hammered it ripped chains off it doin wheelies but never needed routine valve and tricky stuff. Just change the oil evewry 1500 km and its as reliable as a guide dog!
Well, technology is great! but when it lets you down, yr dead in the water!! though like every thing, its always a matter of if you like it buy it

STARTUP WEEKEND: Wayne Brown: They'll lose a weekend, but what will we gain?
Wayne Brown is the managing director of Grey Possible and a judge at Startup Weekend London, which is challenging teams to come up with new startups business in just 54 hours. It takes place at Google Campus from 12-14 July.
"This Sunday I have the pleasure of judging at the London Startup Weekend – Creatives Edition.
At the event, teams of designers, developers and entrepreneurs will get together to answer a brief: 'How could a startup change the advertising industry?' Loose and liberating, if also a bit daunting.
In one sense, the last thing this industry needs is another identikit start up. Does it need more high-profile senior executives departing big jobs at large agencies with a view to getting rich quick by, ultimately, selling their lean and hungry startup to a holding company?
In this case, I think we're talking about a different type of startup; one that could bring something genuinely new to an industry that at its core looks largely as it did in Don Draper's era (barring the ubiquitous proliferation of Apple branded technologies and lack of pre-lunch time whiskey).
This weekend could be the chance to see some genuine innovation.
Although innovation on our core product is hard to achieve, it has often puzzled (if not entirely surprised) me that an industry with creativity at its heart has found it difficult to use these creative powers to transform its business model.
Whilst there are some rare examples of agencies doing things differently, in the main the agency model is a simple business, and pretty much universally charges its clients based on the time they put into solving their problems.
Ironically, a big area of opportunity for innovation for the industry is the process of delivering innovation itself (in this instance, I'm defining innovation as business transforming ideas, beyond communications). Especially in the more traditional agencies.
Digital agility leads agency start-up culture
Having recently jumped from a pure play digital agency to a more integrated set up, I think one of the core reasons digital agencies had a healthy future was based on their superior ability to innovate and deliver transformative ideas, particularly in technology-based products and services. Most tend to have established cultures of innovation that communications-focused agencies struggle to rival, both because of the technology skills gap and because clients pigeon-hole communications agencies as producers of advertising.
It will be interesting to see if anyone tackles this challenge at Startup Weekend: can they show ways in which agencies can innovate on their clients business problems, away from their core business of creating their advertising?
How might they do this? Is it in the structures or approach? Or will they suggest that they need to forget about their clients altogether, and start using their undoubted creative and strategic firepower to invent solutions to meet needs that their clients haven't even thought of yet?
Maybe they'll simply identify that agencies should lift the whole startup model, to see if their staff can invent ideas when their minds are encouraged to wander from the important client work that pays their wages.
Unfortunately, there aren't many agencies that are as cash-rich as someone like Google with their famous "20% time" rule, which means employees spend one day a week on projects outside of their job descriptions.
Commercial pressure in agencies is constant, so innovation will more likely be cultivated after hours. Which is why borrowing the Startup Weekend idea might be just the trick. I'll order in the beer and pizzas now!

Heavy Rain Yesterday, Now Decreasing ChancesAugust 19th, 2014 at 8:45 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
The clouds got very dark, and then the rain moved in yesterday. We had street flooding over part of the region. Here was one example of that from Shirl Johnson in Virginia Beach.
The rain really dropped over that area in a short period of time. My weather watcher Donna in Blackwater had 1.3″ of rain in a span of about an hour. Greg in Currituck, NC had 0.9″. Both of these folks didn't need any rain. However, my weather watcher Don in Toano had a quarter of an inch. Also, Doris on the lower Eastern Shore had a half inch. Both of those regions did need some rain. Here were some of the reports from the rest of the area:
This was all prompted by a pocket of energy in the mid levels as well as an area of low pressure at the surface. The low is still sitting near our region this morning.
It will slowly push east and offshore today. For a while it looked like the low would push away by midday and allow for some drying this afternoon. However, the models have been trending a little slower for that to happen. So while the rain chances do look to drop a bit this afternoon, they probably won't drop much until the late afternoon/early evening. Highs will be in the mid 80s. Winds will be northeasterly at 5-10mph.
Tomorrow the front should push away, and the low should move offshore. So we'll see quiet weather for Wednesday. Highs will be in the 80s. Then late Thursday into Friday another system will move into the region. Heavy rain will be possible once again. At least the weekend looks quiet for now.
The waves are still fairly low today at the oceanfront. They are running around 1ft. However, the waves are forecast to increase a bit tomorrow. They are currently forecast to pick up nicely by the weekend.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2012
Varicose veins are common during pregnancy and partly due to the hormone surges women experience, said vein specialist Dr. Maged Mikhail. However, the problem can be treated or prevented if expectant mothers educate themselves about varicose veins, he said. .
"Up to 40 percent of women develop varicose veins during pregnancy, many who never had a vein problem before," said Dr. Mikhail. "Fortunately, there are methods to prevent or decrease the symptoms of varicose veins during pregnancy."
Pregnancy is one of the main risk factors for developing varicose veins. Pregnant women are more likely to have vein disorders due to a 50 percent increase in blood volume and the growing uterus putting pressure on leg veins, which can cause them to enlarge. Women who have a family history of varicose veins are most likely to develop them during pregnancy. Varicose veins can get worse with each successive pregnancy and may itch, throb, create a burning sensation, or cause leg fatigue.
Most commonly found in the legs, varicose veins are visibly bulging blood vessels which can be caused by a number of variables. They develop because blood in the legs works against the flow of gravity to return blood to the heart where it is re-circulated by arteries. Tiny, one-way valves in healthy veins prevent blood from flowing backward, but in varicose veins, the walls of the vein stretch and prevent the valves from working properly. Blood then leaks backwards and the vein bulges because of pooled blood.
Mr. Mikhail has several recommendations to prevent or minimize development of varicose veins during pregnancy:
"After giving birth, varicose veins will usually improve within three to four months, but sometimes the problem persists. A number of minimally-invasive treatments for varicose veins are available which will allow you to immediately return to normal activities afterwards," said Dr. Mikhail.
Dr. Mikhail is a Registered Vascular Technologist with more than 24 years of experience in private and academic practice. He is board certified in critical care medicine, pain management and anesthesiology, with certifications in cardiac and vascular ultrasound.
For more information about leg vein disorders, visit The U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute website at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/vv/
