Suicidal thoughts—your own or a friend's—are cause for serious concern. Suicide is the second ranking cause of death for college-age students, and all warning signs must be taken seriously. A person who is suicidal often feels depressed, lonely, and isolated from friends and family. A change in sleep patterns, loss of interest in activities and friends, and changes in lifestyle are some additional indicators of suicidal tendencies. If you find yourself or a friend exhibiting these behaviors, seek help immediately!

The return of the ladylike structured bag
While the latest handbag styles have trended toward large slouchy bags with big chunky hardware, grommets and more, we are now seeing a resurgence of the more ladylike structured handbags. These bags have a vintage feel with a modern twist. Like anything in the fashion industry, if you hold onto something long enough, it will eventually come back into vogue.
Some great examples of these revived handbags with fabulous 21st century style include:
- The Dooney & Bourke Florentine Flap Satchel: The Flap Satchel has a very traditional form reminiscent of the structured handbags of the past, but what is different and better about this handbag is the leather. The Florentine's Vachetta leather is casual, yet elegant, with a rich beautiful texture that is both natural looking and sophisticated, and with a patina that becomes more and more beautiful with age. The stunning but subtle gold hardware Dooney has chosen adds a distinguished elegance without overpowering its amazing leather satchel bags.
- The Big Buddha Mia Handbag: With its bell-like shape, distinguished handles, zipper closure and big bow on the front of the bag, this new style from Big Buddha epitomizes the ladylike trend. It has a distinctive shape that is both soft and feminine. The long shoulder strap that comes with the bag gives you the option of wearing it cross body, adding a lot of versatility to this bag for the modern woman on the go.
- Harveys Seatbelt Bags Stella Hobo: Although it does have the name hobo attached to it, there is not much "hobo" in this handbag! With a feminine teardrop shape that comes in both small and large sizes, and elegant silver hardware, this satchel style handbag brings you back to the 1950s and 60s with a great vintage look that is a little retro, very functional, indestructible and super chic.
I believe absolutely in the power of women today: we can do and be anything we choose. I also believe that we, as women, can still be exquisitely feminine no matter what we do, and that we should embrace that part of ourselves. So jump on board and try out this latest fashion craze. Mom and Grandma would be proud!

Look closely and you'll see Barry Davis in sandals, shorts, and a Hawaiian shirt!
Look closely and you'll see Barry Davis in sandals, shorts, and a Hawaiian shirt!
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
You might want to turn the sound down a little on this one. I think the mic is actually in the dude's mouth. Quite annoying, but notice the nice union guy towards the end.
Here are some more nice union protesters. I think this one is in Atlanta. I couldn't imagine what the news would do with this footage if it were a tea partier doing the finger waving. I'm just glad the news is only manipulated on Fox.
And one more thing. Did you know that most Federal Employees don't have collective bargaining rights for pay and benefits? Remember a year or so ago when Obama himself froze the pay for federal employees? Doesn't seem like he minds doing what Scott Walker is suggesting. Why then does he claim that governors are attacking unions? I think it is probably because most people don't know or haven't thought about it.
Funny you say that about Federal workers not having collective bargaining rights. I heard Sean McVeigh Hannity talking about that very thing today. What a strange coincidence!
Did President Obama put that policy into place, or has that been a long standing policy? Not sure if Sean McVeigh Hannity clarified that one yet.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Gee, upon close inspection, that IS pretty scary stuff. In fact, the first video reminds me of the tea sackers kicking the woman in the head at that one rally (eeven though I recall people saying that it wasn't "that bad").
But, the second video is the terrifying video. One guy is giving the finger (reminds me of Dick F'you Cheney), while another union thug is urging the guy to stop and keep moving forward. Derned union thugs.
However, the REAL terror in this video? COMMUNIST propaganda!!! Oh my goodness! Where is McCarthy when the tea sackers need him most!
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Your nice little names for a group of people and certain individuals are doing a lot to damage your credability. If a woman was kicked in the head at a TEA PARTY rally then it should be condemned but citing once stupid act does not make up for all the dumb acts from the Union individuals.
You also bring up how the right is say communists......it is pretty easy thing to do when the protesters are using a symbol that has it's roots in the communist party and socialism. I guess they need to do their research first.
Does it really surprise you that the Unions are not playing nice.....i mean with their great history of of following the rules.
Quinn: Your avatar is life changing.
To avoid criticism say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
Bottom line is that I don't play the Sean McVeigh Hannity strategy of deflect everything onto democrats and not take responsibility for one's own actions.
In other words, the videos that were posted in reply to me were not from Madison, so what does that have to do with the fact that Bill Orally and Fixed Noise deliberately tried to make people think that this violence was happening in Madison, which it was not?
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.
Oh and one other thing did you happen to know Bill O'Reilly is a member of a Union and actualy said that both sides should compromise. Now wasn't a Fox News member punched? I did see him get pushed around and someone trying to push his camera out of the way. Then there are many other videos of the very calm and peaceful protests there in Madison
But, should we be surprised about Rush Koresh Limbaugh? After all, he sure loved using the services of the ACLU a few years back!
As for the reporter getting "punched," turns out to be another Faux news story. See the video and the accompanying transcript.
UNI Panthers...Because it's just right.

Moms - how often do you masturbate?
I'm curious - how does having children change your masturbation habits? When, How often, Where?
Most Helpful Opinion
Random... I don't really have the time anymore. I still have the drive, but sex is so much faster and I don't have to focus so hard on the task at hand. If I got sex as much as I wanted I would masturbate less, but my husband is never in the mood. I guess I masturbate about half as much as before I had a child.
Does hubby know you masturbate?
Yea... He doesn't care.

Re: Elise Tamaela knocked out and put on a drip by opponent's father
This is getting weirder and weirder every day... Mihai Barbat is pressing charges against Elise via the ITF, Elise just received an official email... Really wondering what that man is thinking? Does he want to save his access to tournaments or does he really think (in his own head?) that he's the one being a victim? There are (literally) a dozen of witnesses who all have seen (and some even testified at the police station, incl. the referee) what happened. The hospital has given an official statement of Elise being injured. Even Karen has confessed to the press that her father hit Elise.
If I was such a low life as he is, things would have gotten out of hand right now. But he's lucky that we want to solve this in a decent way: in court if it's necessary. No need to get all physical like he did.
Just can't express how I feel right now...
This must be one of the strangest weeks in my life, let alone Elise's... It's an upside down world...

Gossip Girl on Extra airs every Thursday! Click here to find out when to catch me on your TV. XOXO
It's not every day I mention Denise Richards (uck), but after just talking about her in my latest post, I figured I'd keep going. Hopefully she's got a hold of her own anger management because I hear her ex husband Charlie Sheen has kicked her and their two daughters out of the house he bought for them. Apparently the two had a falling out, and ever since then, he and his porn star fiancee (double uck) have been plotting this move. Do you feel any kind of sympathy towards Denise or do you live by the motto, what goes around comes around (and know it's never a pretty sight?)
Check out my latest Gossip Girl on Extra segment to see what else has been keeping me and my minions talking this week. You know you love me. XOXO

This is wee-makingly exciting: W1A, the follow-up to Twenty Twelve, and Rev are back on TV screens within the week.
Twenty Twelve was the mockumentary starring Hugh Bonneville and Jessica Hynes that followed the Olympic Delivery Team in the run-up to the London 2012 Games. As well as predicting cock-ups to the extent that we started to think writer John Morton had a time machine (the countdown clock breaking, a coach carrying officials getting lost on the way to the Olympic Park), it spawned a mountain of catchphrases. We really think that.
In W1A, Bonneville's Ian Fletcher takes up his new role as the BBC's Head of Values just as the corporation also hires Hynes's clueless Siobhan Sharpe to inject some PR 'savvy'. David Tennant provides his deadpan narration again (this Independent article includes an example that had more than one of us snickering over our laptops). But what we don't know, and what nobody's saying, is whether Olivia Colman is back after Twenty Twelve's emotional cliffhanger ending…
One place Colman's definitely back is in Rev, filmed around St Leonard's church in Shoreditch. She plays the wife of Tom Hollander's put-upon vicar, in what's possibly the most atheist comedy about religion we've seen. This series adds to the excellent cast (including Miles Jupp on punchable form) with Joanna Scanlan and Vicki Pepperdine, always a sign of quality. We're not sure why Rev's dry wit hasn't found a bigger following, but now's a good chance to see for yourself.
So that's all good.
W1A starts on Wednesday 19 March, 10pm, BBC2. Rev starts on Monday 24 March, 10pm, BBC2.

Denver A/C repair can be complicated and finding the parts can be difficult according to Lynn of Brothers Plumbing Heating and Electric, "Many people get frustrated when their AC breaks. Some people try to repair the AC themselves. Some are successful but most are not. We recommend saving your time and letting professional A/C repairmen get the job done right the first time."
Summer time is especially busy for Brothers Plumbing Heating and Electric because of rising temperatures and increased air conditioning use by residents of Denver. "We get a lot of calls for air conditioning repair in the summer, especially in the beginning because the air conditioning hasn't been run all summer and sometimes parts wear out," says Lynn of Brothers Plumbing Heating and Electric. "We recommend the best Denver A/C or air conditioning repair we can for the situation. Most of the time an air conditioning system can be repaired but sometimes the air conditioning must be replaced. The $30 off air conditioning installation coupon can really save people money."

I made plans with a couple of family members two weeks ago for a helicopter ride with Lake Superior Helicopters. Mr. Monson told us to be at Sky Harbor Airport at noon that weekend as the rides were on a first come, first served basis. We showed up early and nobody was there. I called Lake Superior Helicopters and nobody answered the phone. A few minutes after noon I got through to him and he said they were having mechanical problems with the helicopter and they'd be there in an hour, hour and a half. I said thanks and goodbye. Hell of a way to run a business.
Hot debate. What do you think? 22 16
So…you were told to be there at 12:00. Due to Mechanical issues the helicopter couldn't be there by 12:00. You spoke to Mr. Monson at 12:00 and he notified you that he wouldn't be able to be there until later. You didn't sit around for hours waiting and there was good reason the helicopter wasn't there. Try to understand that there were extenuating circumstance and quit your whining.
Hot debate. What do you think? 20 14
Like Dan, I would be pretty frustrated if they didn't bother to inform me in that situation. They couldn't have bothered to take 2 minutes to make a phone call? That's just terrible customer service.

I guess that would depend on if someone actually had a reservation/appointment.
If the rides are on a first come, first served basis, that seems a little doubtful.
Would they even have a person's phone number to call them if they didn't have a firm registration?

The problem is they didn't know if there were three people or 30 waiting at the airport for rides because nobody from their business bothered to show up at the time they told customers to show up. And apparently they didn't care. That was my beef with them.

Were any of you folks down watching the tall ships come in this year. Wonderful sight, well, except for the buzzing helicopters. If I recall, the chopper involved in the Island Lake incident was in the area of the ships and seemed to be flying in a responsible manner. Luckily nothing happened mechanically to them at that event. However, another helicopter, tail number N145DM, was doing acrobatics just to the West of the tall ships and was repeatedly hovering below mast height near the ships, and passing very close to private boats in the harbor. It is legal to fly just about anywhere with a helicopter UNLESS passengers or those on the ground are endangered. If N145DM had mechanical trouble during the tall ships event, similar to that experienced by Mr. Monson over Island Lake, clearly there would likely had been fatalities. N145DM take note.

Good catch on the tail number. I saw two helicopters that day. I checked my photos of the tall ships event and, yes, it was N145DM that was doing the dangerous low flying. I saw the other helicopter further back. The story listed the owner as Lake Superior Helicopters. I ran the tail number at http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N145DM.html and it lists Jauss Aviation of Duluth thus my confusion about which was doing the responsible flying and who wasn't. It was definitely N145DM in my photos hovering about 2/3 of the mast height close to the tall ship. Not good.

You know, I could swear I wrote something about Legion of Super Heroes, before, but I can't find it now. So it's possible that I just imagined the whole thing. I have a very active imagination, you know. (Some of my previous imaginings include such far-fetched scenarios as being all caught up on the laundry and neither of the children getting sick for the entire winter. Ha!)
Anyway, if I had talked about Legion, it most likely would've gone something like this: Wah wah wah, I am sad about Teen Titans being cancelled, but there is a small chance that Legion of Super Heroes will fill this hole in my heart.
(I'd like to tell you it would've made more sense than that, but I'm afraid that's pretty much what I would've said.)
I don't know if they've truly filled the hole, but they are just the kind of entertainment that someone who, say, grew up on Super Friends and later enjoyed Teen Titans might really get into. Its roots are in "old school" comics, while still bringing in plenty of what makes a modern kids' show appealing.
if you haven't seen it, don't take my word for it—check out the recent interviews over at CBR's The Comic Reel.
First, producer James Tucker talks about how gratifying the project has been:
"Having worked most of my animation career on the DCUA shows, I wasn't expecting the fan reaction to be so positive," Tucker told CBR News. "I was thoroughly prepared to stay away from the message boards for the duration of the series, but I couldn't help myself and peeked the Sunday after the premiere. One of the most gratifying things about the positive response has been the amount of parents who say they are enjoying the show with their kids. 'Legion' is the perfect property to do a light-hearted, child friendly take on and I'm glad we didn't over think the premise or mess around with the formula too much."
And then he reflects on one of the differences between Legion and Titans:
"I think it's the fact that this is a group made up of the best of the best. Not anyone can be a Legionnaire. In the comics in particular, it was a grueling process just to be accepted. So in that way it's probably the only book that mirrors what it feels like to be in high school, on the cusp of adulthood and striving to be the best, and fit in with your peers. Oh, and also all the crushing that goes on between the members really echoes the feelings of being teenagers. Titans, on the other hand, originally, was about sidekicks who formed their own group to get out the shadows of their mentors. That has more to do with parent/child relations. I suppose Legion is the idealized version of teenhood in a structured high school setting, which is something that was a particularly good fit for the kind of show KidsWB has wanted for a while."
Next, Story Editor Rob Hoegee weighs in on the important matters:
When asked how he chose which characters to focus on, Hoegee, explained, "It's a lot like casting a sitcom. You look at who works well together and go with it. We knew Superman would always be standing at the center, so a large part of the decisions were based on creating a team around him. They needed to be equally iconic. One look at them should give you a pretty good idea of who they are and what their power is – or at least set your imagination off to work. I love all of the characters, but Bouncing Boy and Brainiac 5 I have a special fondness for."
And he finishes out the interview with a teaser, so take note if you're a fan:
"Lots of new characters, that's for sure," he said of what to expect. "We've got a two-part season finale that promises to be a real knockout. We actually get a bit epic in the last three episodes, with writing duties split between Amy Wolfram, David Slack and myself. As far as hints, I've noticed in the fan feedback to our 'Timber Wolf' episode many were wondering why we set the story on the planet Raal instead of Zoon. This wasn't an oversight. You'll find our why in episode 9."
I dunno. It all sounds good, and we do enjoy the show. But I can't help feeling that it would be even better if they added in a super hero monkey. Right? Who's with me?

I had no issues with that move, so maybe it is something simple.
Did you open that library, instead of the default one it installed?
I assume that you see no images defined, instead of images that are defined but LR can't find the files for.

"Long Tail" Redux: App Store Boom a Bust for Store Apps?
("Unique" by Hamed Masoumi, licensed under Creative Commons)
On Monday, TiPb Senior Editor Dieter Bohn debuted his new bi-weekly feature, TiPb of the Avalanche, by asking about the iPhone App Store and the "Long Tail" business model.
Looks like he's not alone. PCalc developer James Thomson (via Daring Fireball) recounted his struggles with Apple's new policy of listing Apps by original release dates, ignoring update dates, and forcing older Apps to the frozen hinterlands of the last few pages in a list growing well past 5500. Under the old model:
Sales started to slow down over time, but with each of the 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 updates they went back up into the stratosphere as PCalc moved to the front page of the Utilities section again.
And now?
As it stands, the App Store is too crowded to find anything if you don't know exactly what you are looking for by name.
So while, according to Apple Insider, the App Store may still be climbing faster than iTunes Music did, GigaOm is pishing the posh on the iPhone bump in general.
During Apple's Q4 conference call, Steve Jobs said that the App Store would reach 200 million downloads today spanning over 5500 Apps in 62 countries. How will Apple's (continuing?) tweaks on App Store organization help or hinder developers moving forward? And will they, as Dieter is suggesting, have to start putting as much time, money, and effort into marketing as they do coding? Or are there no easy answers?

"Long Tail" Redux: App Store Boom a Bust for Store Apps?
Who is the Jason Thomson guy, and why is he getting all my press? :)
How incredibly embarrassing! My sincerest apologies, James. I've corrected the article and regret any free publicity this Jason character might have received at your expense :(
OK, James - we had this conversation via email, and I sent Apple feedback.
I agree the recent changes (and original policies) of the App Store suck big eggs.
Your PCalc has evolved incredibly since the first iteration.
Yet, I can't even see "what's new" by using the advanced search.
You and others have been hosed.
I hope more folks complain to Apple - in a nice way of course...

"Awful staff who swear at customers and lie. Worst place I've ever experienced. "
By Bathspa | Saturday, November 17 2012
Awful staff who swear at customers and lie. Worst place I've ever experienced.
This is a good place for young people and students, good music and a reasonably good atmosphere!!
It is a decent night-out if you are too drunk to care about the awkward atmosphere. Seems to have gone downhill in recent years and is full of "young" people. If your looking for a good night out with good music, look elsewhere.
This club have a good atmosphere with a good range of music. I have been here a few times and can really have a good dance. The age range is normally students but you do get the odd older person.
It may not be the slickest of nightclubs, but the music's always fun and there's always a good atmosphere. Been there on plenty of nights out and always have a good time.

Art and Craft
Myths and Fictions
Social Structure
Making of beautiful carpets, painted wooden vessels and silver articles are, however, the speciality of the Monpas. The people of the second zone are expert workers in cane and bamboo. The Apantanis, Hill Miris and Adis make beautiful articles of these materials, which speak eloquently about their skill in handicrafts. The second cultural zone occupies the central part from East Kameng in the west to Lohit in the east. The third zone is formed by the southeastern part of the territory.
Wooden masks are also carved by the Khambas and Membas of West Siang. The Khamptis make beautiful religious images figures of dancers, toys and other objects. Very beautiful wood carvings are made by the Wanchos of Tirap. In fact the Wancho area is the Chief center of wood carving. Wancho wood carving was earlier associated mainly with head hunting and human head dominated everything that they made. But now-a days veriety of subjects are included. They are invariably free standing. Minute observation on the details will reveal that the Wancho wood carver had deep sense of proportion, inspite of the fact that they give much attention to the head.
Silver ornaments are a speciality of the Mishmis. The Idu Mishmi women wear silver fillet necklaces with lockets and beautiful earring. The Sherdukpens and the Khamtis at one time were also renowned for silver work. The Apatani women wear nose plugs made of cane which are an exception with the other people of the territory.

If you have read my book or have been a reader of this blog, you know that I am committed to the idea of connecting my classroom. I have seen so much deep learning, both expected and unexpected, come from connected learning that I now think of connecting as an option as I consider teaching methods for most classroom topics.
We've done a lot of connected work with numeration in mathematics this year, but measurement and geometry are part of my curriculum as well.
Karen Lirenman, who teaches in Surrey, British Columbia and I were teaching measurement to our students at the same time this year, so we decided to find ways that our classes could help each other to learn these concepts. Fortunately, both Karen and my curriculum focus on the comparative aspects of measurement and the ability to use the language of math in this area rather than on exact centimeters, grams or milliliters.
Instead of having my student just use this language with the others in our own classroom (although there was plenty of that as well), we played games to compare and talk about the concepts with Karen's class.
First, we compared length. Each class had chosen a number of items that embodied the idea of length– either long or short. During our call, one student from each class chose an object from this collection and held it up to the camera for the two classes to compare. I had two cards: one had "shorter" written on it and the other said "longer". Each time we played a round, I shuffled the two cards and randomly chose one to hold up. Then, the students in both classes had to decide which of the two items met the criteria on the card. We kept track of which class had the "winning" item. A couple of times rulers had to come out in both classrooms, but usually we were easily able to tell. Fortunately for both teachers, we ended in a tie and all of the students felt contented and successful—and had practiced the very skill we wanted to teach.
(If I were to do this game again, I would skip the competitive aspect, which did not have any real purpose. Before I had this epiphany, we did play this game on Skype with an American class and my class "lost" very badly. I had to cope with a very grumpy group of competitive boys—an experience I have no desire to repeat.)
We also compared the weights of two objects. We both set up a balance scale in front of our computer's camera and then students took turns holding up two items. All of the students in both classes would predict which item they thought would be heavier. One of the teachers would say, "Hands on your head if you think the crayon is heavier, hands on your lap if you think the marker is heavier, one hand on your head and one on your lap if you're not sure." (This meant that everyone could participate—no excuses!) Then, with the predictions in, a child would put one item in the bucket at each end of the balance scale to see which item was truly the heaviest. This was more popular than the longer/shorter game because everyone could cheer.
Our last measurement Skype call was about comparing capacity. We played this game in the same way as the heavier/lighter activity, but this time, a student held up two containers and everyone had to predict which one would hold more beads. Once the predictions had been made (again, with hands on head, hands in lap or one of both) one of the containers was filled with beads and then those beads were poured into the other container. If the second container overflowed, the students told us that the first container held more and could explain how they knew that. If there was still space in the second container when all the bead had been poured in, the students could explain how they knew which one held more as well.
All of three of these games could have been (and were) played with only the students in each classroom, but practicing these skills with another class made the exercise more engaging and motivating for the students and taught them that other students are learning the same skills that they are. Karen and I both grew as educators as we bounced ideas off each other and prepared for our calls.
Our geometry units are coming up and we are planning to help the students learn those skills while working together again. Have you done this? We've got some ideas, but we're open to others…

Does this work with I phone 5
As I phone 5 has different connections ,will
I be able to use it as well as my I pad2 .
- Asked by Duncan T
JBL OnBeat Loudspeaker Docking Station
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Both Yes and No.
Yes since:
There are available Lightning Adapters to fit iPhone 5. But you cannot swivel it to landscape mode as there is a chance that the adapter might fall off.
You can also use the 3.5 mm cord to play your iPhone. but the services will be limited. No charging whatsoever. Just for listening purposes.
No since:
As mentioned, iPhone 5 uses lightning connector. This one is fitted with the old connector.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2005 Three soldiers assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force were killed Jan. 17 while conducting security and stability operations in Iraq's Anbar province, military officials reported.
No other details were provided.
One insurgent was killed and another was wounded after they fired on a vehicle and tower at a Multinational Force Iraq base gate in Tikrit on Jan. 17. Soldiers of the1st Infantry Division guarding the tower returned fire. The body of the dead insurgent was taken to the Tikrit hospital. The wounded insurgent fled, avoiding capture.
Near Baqubah today, one Iraqi police officer was killed and three others were wounded when anti-Iraqi forces attacked a police station with mortars at about 11:14 a.m. Seven mortar rounds exploded in the vicinity of the police station. The officers were evacuated to Iraqi and coalition medical facilities for treatment.
In central Baghdad, at least six Iraqis, including two Iraqi police, were wounded by the blast of a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device that detonated about 8:50 a.m. today. The suicide bomber died in the blast. A Task Force Baghdad explosive ordnance team was dispatched to the site to conduct a blast analysis.
Also in the Baghdad area, soldiers from the Iraqi army's 3rd Division defeated and captured 10 attacking insurgents Jan. 17 during a security patrol southeast of Rabia. The Iraqi soldiers overcame an initial attack by two improvised explosive devices, small arms and automatic weapons fire before defeating the insurgents.
In the Mosul area, multinational forces killed five insurgents in two separate incidents Jan. 17. Three insurgents were killed while attacking with rocket- propelled grenades and mortar rounds in southwest Mosul. Multinational forces shot and killed two more insurgents who were staging another attack later in the day.
While patrolling in the north Babil region south of Baghdad on Jan. 17, Task Force Baghdad soldiers found three improvised explosive devices.

Are These Hershey's Spreads the New Nutella?
Look out, Nutella. These new spreads from Hershey's (chocolate, chocolate hazelnut, and chocolate almond) are pretty awesome. More

Like Leandra Palermo, Serious Eats' resident cereal obsessive, Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme is one of my favorite chocolate bars. When I saw a box of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream Cookie Mix ($2.99), it was as if the supermarket's harsh fluorescents transformed to a soft white light, and the muzak pumped over the sound-system momentarily changed to a chorus of sweetly singing angels. Clearly, I had to try it. More
Let's start with what I don't know, which is practically anything about the history of this bar (the internet is not forthcoming). Here's what I do know: a Hershey's Extra Creamy Milk Chocolate Bar was available for purchase at my local Walgreen's in San Francisco, sitting right next to a pile of regular Hershey's Milk Chocolate bars. So here's what I did do: a comparative taste test. More
Milk chocolate often gets dismissed as the immature younger sibling of dark chocolate, but we are not ashamed of loving it. When good, milk chocolate melts on the tongue like butter. Of the ten brands we tried in a blind tasting, see which were the most butter-melty, which had weird notes of beef jerky, and which belong only on s'mores. More

Between Bayonetta, Army of Two, and Darksiders, January hasn't been wanting for big-name releases. Keeping that streak running through the end of the month, January's final week has on tap high-profile console exclusives for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.
With BioWare's fantasy epic Dragon Age: Origins still on the mind of many role-playing game fans, the Canadian studio is already returning with the sci-fi offering Mass Effect 2. Available for the Xbox 360 and PC, it picks up where the acclaimed original Mass Effect left off, taking back up with Commander Shepard as he recruits a new crew in his ongoing quest to halt the Reapers' threat to the galaxy. The Mass Effect 2 Collectors' Edition will be available for $69.99 on the Xbox 360 and $59.99 on the PC--$10 more than the standard edition price.
SOCOM veterans Zipper Interactive will deploy its new military action game MAG exclusively on the PS3 this week. The multiplayer-only online shooter features up to 256 players in a single game. Each player will assume a different rank on each side, viewing the battlefield according to his or her station. Commanders will see the action from a top-down view from which they can direct lower-level soldiers, who will see from a first-person point of view on the front lines.
The Wii actually has a pair of high-profile titles hitting this week: Grasshoper Manufacture's No More Heroes 2: Desperate struggle and Capcom's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. The former sees players again assuming the role of the spastic Travis Touchdown three years after he ascended the ranks of the United Assassin's Association. Meanwhile, Capcom's cross-brand fighter draws from more than 20 characters that populate the game publisher's and Japanese anime production house's respective character stables.
For further details on the week's games, visit GameSpot's New Releases page. The full list of downloadable games on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live Marketplace, and the Wii Shop Channel will be revealed later this week. Release dates are based on retailer listings and are subject to change.

As of Wednesday, August 15, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Ju'Wuan James got a piece of advice from his high school football coach two years ago that changed his life.
"Coach Sphire sat down and talked to me after my sophomore year and said I think it's a better route for you on the offensive line," the North Gwinnett senior recalled. "I see a future ahead of you. It turned out to be a good decision."
A former basketball player turned tight end, James took the advice from Sphire and has blossomed into one of the top offensive linemen the country.
The four-star recruit is the No. 1 ranked offensive tackle in Georgia. Recruiting services Scout.com and ESPN have him rated the No. 8 offensive tackle in the nation.
At 6-foot-6, 305 pounds, James has grabbed the attention of college coaches, committing to Alabama in May.
"You know what a major tackle looks like in major college (football) and on Sunday's and (it looks like Ju'Wuan)," Sphire said.
With all of his success it's hard to imagine James has only played one season as an offensive tackle.
He grew up playing basketball from the time he was 6 years old in New Jersey. When he moved to Georgia he turned in his basketball shoes for football cleats.
"That was the main thing up there. When I cam down here it was football, football, football. So I ended up playing, starting in the seventh grade," James said.
He played tight end in youth ball and entered high school as a 6-foot-4, 240-pound freshman. James was a tight end on North's 2007 state finals team as a sophomore, but after the season Sphire talked to him about a position change. A move that could pay dividends in the long run.
"At first I wasn't liking it all. I love catching the ball and running routes," James said. "Just the fact of thinking about sitting there and just blocking someone the whole time, the whole play it wasn't getting to me. But it turned out to be good. After a while I started to get the hang of it and I liked it."
Added Sphire: "Ju'Wuan is that basketball guy that wants to be a tight end to accepting the fact that his body demanded he be an offensive lineman."
James started last season at offensive tackle as the Bulldogs went 10-3 and reached the quarterfinals of the state playoffs. Because of James' size he attracted the attention of college coaches. But it wasn't until January when he was invited to the U.S. Army All-American Combine in San Antonio that his recruiting stock skyrocketed. James was named to Rivals.com's first team offensive line after an impressive workout.
"We were doing one-on-ones and the first guy I went against was the No. 1 end in the country there," James said. "I went against him and I didn't necessarily win, but he didn't win either. I felt like if I can stick with him, I can stick with anybody else. So after that I was feeling good and that gave me the confidence level."
James received college scholarship offers from some of the top programs in the country, including defending national champion Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and Tennessee. But the senior committed to Alabama where he will join fellow lineman Austin Shepherd in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
"It's pretty cool. A lot of people go to college and don't know anybody. It's hard to fit in, but we'll come in together, work hard and push each other," said James, who will graduate from North in December and enroll at Alabama in January.
Because of his size and athletic ability and the fact that he's still learning to play offensive tackle, there's a whole lot of potential for James at the next level and beyond.
"It's just raw ability right now," Sphire said. "I don't think he's anywhere he needs to be fundamentally, which is scary."
Being ranked one of the top offensive linemen in the country still baffles James sometimes. When he started playing football he never expected it would one day help pay for a college education. Of course that wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for some good coaching advice.
"When I hear it, I thank God every time that I'm fortunate enough to have people look at me that way," James said. "I never expected to do that. I was just a kid playing football for North Gwinnett and it turned out to be a good choice."

PANDAS Symptoms
PANDAS is a term used to refer to Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Strep. It is believed to be an autoimmune disorder that is triggered by a Streptococcal infection, typically in the form of strep throat. Symptoms that resemble those in obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD in children appear or made worse during or shortly after this infection.
When an infection occurs, the body releases natural antibodies to fight the infection. With this condition, these antibodies will begin to attack the body and its systems, especially certain parts of the brain that cause PANDAS symptoms. This is a pediatric disorder, with the first onset occurring before puberty.
Symptoms of PANDAS are similar to those of OCD in children. The child may have anxiety, irrational fears or phobias, intrusive thoughts, and repetitive behaviors. Other mental symptoms include some of the following: regressions in behavior, such as separation anxiety, trouble sleeping, and difficulty in concentrating. Some of the physical symptoms include tics, enlarged pupils, problems with fine motor skills, such as with handwriting, increased urination, and even some problems affecting short term memory.
PANDAS symptoms will have a rapid onset that occurs close to the time of a strep infection. Symptoms of PANDAS will vary over time, sometimes getting worse and other times improving, until the infection if completed cured. The body cannot fight this infection itself, so a doctor must be consulted so the child can be treated with the proper antibiotics.
There is no diagnostic test for PANDAS. However, there are tests to detect the presence of strep bacteria, which can help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis. It is important to differentiate between PANDAS and typical OCD. OCD will remain steady over time, while PANDAS has a rapid onset that will come and go until the infection is eradicated. However, the symptoms will gradually begin to improve once antibiotic treatment is started.
Often the symptoms of OCD will persist even after the infection has been completed treated. In those cases, children can benefit by the use of traditional OCD therapy which may include the use of counseling and certain medications. In severe cases, patients may need to have a plasma exchange to remove remaining antibodies from the blood. This will be performed in the hospital, but occurs rarely.

Reports this week that Foreign Direct Investment into our country doubled last year to US$387 million brings good news at a time the economy is thirsting for capital injection.
The economy needs to build on the momentum for Zimbabwe to claim its fair share of the investment cake.
FDI inflows form one of the major pillars on which the economy should lean. This is clearly enunciated in the Medium Term Plan.
Sectors such as mining, tourism, retail, transport and services have remained attractive to the investor.
However, before we begin to beat our chest about the latest figure, it would be critical to put it into perspective.
While the current receipt is a significant improvement from the US$166 million registered in 2010, Zimbabwe is still performing dismally in terms of attracting investment.
An economy our size should be receiving billions of dollars worth of investment annually given the huge resources at our disposal.
The country is endowed with natural resources that should leave an investor with no choice but to invest.
Inflows that have come this way are a small fraction of the U$S6,3 billion received by southern Africa and the US$42,6 billion that the entire continent registered.
Smaller economies such as Mozambique managed to rake in US$2 billion while a quarter of that amount was a very difficult feat for Zimbabwe to achieve.
Where are we getting it wrong as a country?
Of course we cannot downplay the effects of the illegal economic sanctions imposed by the West and the negative reviews this country continues to get on the international arena regarding our ability to attract the discerning investor.
The global economic crisis has also ushered stiffer competition for the fewer dollars that investors set aside to beef their portfolios.
But barring these impediments, the strides made in terms of economic growth figures in this country have not been matched by deliberate and aggressive efforts to lure the investor.
Furthermore, the investment approval process has remained unnecessarily long despite assurances two years ago that this would be a thing of the past.
The one-stop shop under the Zimbabwe Investment Authority is still to materialise. It still takes 49 working days to approve projects, a figure that will be reduced to five once the facility is in place.
We are told that this process will take at least 18 months which effectively means the new system will become operational in 2014.
Zimbabwe has not fared well on the Global Doing Business Index and it will need to work on the business environment to start attracting meaningful investment.
However, for this country all hope is not lost. We have seen investors from China, India, Italy, South Africa, Germany and the United States, among others expressing eagerness to set up shop in this country.
Let us harness this interest as we seek to improve the current business conditions and the general investment environment.
As we await the one-stop facility, there is more we could be doing as we seek to attract higher levels of investment.
Ensuring macro-economic instability, political harmony, policy consistency and other such facets will make this country more attractive to investors.
The rate of inflation has largely remained in the single digit territory while investment opportunities abound, mainly in the mining sector.
These factors, buttressed by an easier project approval process, will see Zimbabwe register more investments.
It would be critical to avoid such pitfalls as the inconsistency noted in the Essar deal to revive Ziscosteel. Such bleeps and blunders scare away investors.
Furthermore, perceptions surrounding the indigenisation policy will need to be managed well to attract investment.
It is no secret that most investors are finding the policy unpalatable but the onus is on the Government and other stakeholders to raise awareness on the objectives and implementation matrix surrounding indigenisation.
Zimbabwe is a good product that just needs proper marketing.
The economy needs to create jobs, generate wealth and consequently alleviate poverty. FDI has a role to play in ensuring that this materialises.

Next-gen Flip camcorder to boast Wi-Fi
Cisco will launch a new Wi-Fi-enabled Flip digital camcorder to go on sale in the early half of 2010, Pocket-lint has learnt.
The new model will be the first to leverage Cisco's networking technology since it bought Pure Digital in a multi-million dollar deal in early 2009.
Details are thin on the ground at the moment, but we've been informed by a Cisco spokesperson that the new model will feature "a large screen that slides to reveal the record and menu buttons underneath" allowing users to see what is going on when they are recording video.
The screen itself won't be touchscreen however, presumably in an attempt to keep costs down.
Owners of the new pocket video camcorder will be able to record video footage and then upload it straight from the camcorder over Wi-Fi networks both private and public, a feature currently being offered in some DSLRs.
We will keep you posted.
