Gopaldhara Silver Pearls
It took some testing for amount of tea and brewing time, but then it all came together and the glorious first taste, the amazing sweet bloom, and the long-lingering delightful aftertaste really "hit" us. Today, I started with a lot of tea (7.7 grams for 24-25 oz pot) and brewed over 4 minutes at 205 degrees. Good, but strong and not subtle. I lowered it to about 5.8 grams for another of the same pots and brewed just under 4 minutes. Magnificent! Something I never want to be without (I just ordered a pound).

Tree-Sits in Berkeley to Save Oaks
Activists Take to the Trees to Defend Oak Grove
For Immediate Release
Contact: Zachary Running Wolf (cell in the tree) (469) 544-9756
Activists Take to the Trees to Defend Oak Grove
Berkeley, CA -In early morning hours of Saturday, December 2, one University of California (UC) student and at least 2 local residents, including former mayoral candidate Zachary Running Wolf, climbed and occupied trees in a grove of Oaks that UC plans to cut down. UC is planning destroy this majestic grove in order to build a parking lot and sports training facility. This unique eco-system, the last grove of coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) in the Berkeley lowlands, is protected by municipal code. However, UC, the largest landowner in Berkeley, claims they do not have to obey city laws and codes.
The California Native Plant Society said "This site is of great value as a gene bank for Coast Live Oak." Environmentally this area is important habitat for a myriad of different species that have been pushed out of their nearby oak woodland habitat by development, primarily due to UC expansion. With the ongoing devastation from Sudden Oak Death Syndrome keeping this grove intact becomes even more important.
This tree-sit action is being taken after the university ignored the concerns of residents, students, scientists, the Berkeley City Council and many others. Community members have, for years, been frustrated by the University's apparent disdain for citizen input and local opinion. "Having old trees and open spaces is important to the health of our community and children. I just don't see how an institution supposedly dedicated to teaching good stewardship of the earth could even suggest cutting these trees." said local resident Danielle Chase.
The planned cutting of the precious oaks has brought hundreds of alarmed local residents and university students to speak out against this destruction and degradation of local wilderness. After exhausting many other avenues, Running Wolf decided to take direct action because UC is stonewalling community, student and even City of Berkeley efforts to find workable solutions. "I'm not coming down until these trees are protected." said tree-sitter Running Wolf.
The tree occupation is ongoing, located between Piedmont Avenue and Memorial Stadium on the UC campus. For more information and to speak to the tree-sitters directly call (469)-544-9756.

Err, we guess a Christmas party is a pretty good spot to announce to your nearest and dearest that you're having a baby. But to be honest we're a little surprised at the reports that Jessica Simpson did just that at Daddy Joe's holiday shindig on December 11th, mostly because we weren't sure that they were all back on speaking terms after all that divorce drama. But we guess things are all good between everybody, and according to Celebuzz, Jessica took the occasion to confirm that she's indeed expecting for a second time!
"As Jessica and her husband were about to leave the party somebody asked her, 'How's the baby?'an guest at the Santa Monica party told the website. "And she boasted, 'Which one?! I'm pregnant again!' She was so happy, smiling and giggling." Rumors of the pregnancy with fiance Eric Johnson leaked a few weeks back much to the dismay of the folks over at Weight Watchers,who are apparently furious at the prospect of losing their celebrity slim-down spokesperson.
The singer hasn't publicly confirmed or denied the reports of her latest pregnancy seven months after giving birth to daughter Maxwell Drew seven months ago. But that doesn't mean much considering that she pretty much waited until the baby was actually emerging from her body to officially announce she was pregnant last time! OK, not really, but it was pretty close! Even if she is actually expecting another child, we probably have a long way to go before she officially announces it to the press.

Hi All,
I'm Michele La Porta.I'm new to SIP and mobicents.For our
project prototype we will need to code a SIMPLE Resource Adaptor and
some sbbs/services.Let's focus on RA.I think SIP RA is our
starting point.
Should we extend that module?
if so should we just need to add SIMPLE related
events/messages as defined in rfc 3428?
Create a new module SIMPLE RA from scratch using SIPRA as
Why not provide both interfaces, that's one of the JAIN SLEE strengths, it's not a SIP only Application Server :-)
One of the core concepts in JAIN SLEE is the Activity Context (AC), which is an abstract concept for a sequence of events. You can, and usually you do that, define a mapping from the AC where the related events are fired to SBBs entities (instances), and in those entities you can persist instance data in CMPs. You can also define a SBB Activity Context Interface to bind data to ACs, and through this you can share data between SBB entities. I recommend you a reading of the JAIN SLEE specs, which are the most valuable document for a JAIN SLEE developer.
Hi Eduardo,
I agree with you, and that's exactly what I was trying to do - the problem I see with SIP/SIMPLE is the following:
suppose I'm using the sip-wake-up example,
if end user is using 3CX, the message the SBB gets is "10 Wakeup!"
but if the client is Xten the SBB gets "10 Wakeup!"
using other clients... I have no idea! :-)
Furthermore, I did some debugging, and I noticed that from time to time Xten sends messages such as:
I found in a RFC that this kind of "state messages" are part of SIMPLE, but the problem is, again, that different SIP clients sends different messages
How am I suppose to handle the parsing of the message if the format differs based on the client being in use? can you see my point?
P.S.: slowly I'm going through the spec :-)
I've never tried to get those messages [b]into[/b] JAIN SLEE, but perphaps you can filter/adapt the message from the MESSAGE Request headers and/or, if it's xml, from the namespaces declared.
As an example, you already found that you can forget about messages that are XML documents with root element named isComposing, and have a default namespace that is urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:im-iscomposing ;-)
That is SIMPLE extension to indicate that the sender is typing, XMPP also have something similar.
Anyway, don't think everything works in the XMPP world too, since some clients still do not support all JEP extensions, others simply ignore those and focus on the IETF standard, and others still use some things from the old Jabber.
Welcome to the nasty world of IM and Presence.
Usually when a softphone shows an XML message it means it doesn't know how to handle its content, even if specs says to drop those "unknown" XML documents/elements.
Soo ... it's easy to write an SBB that works with all clients if the standards (including extensions) and clients are mature, such as XMPP. Regarding SIMPLE, imho clients are still prototypes, and the standards are evolving a lot.
Hi all,
so if I understood correctly, if you had to provide a service through instant messaging to a broad audience, you would rather provide an XMPP interface instead of a SIP/SIMPLE?
A thought that came up in my mind in the last few days: I might need to have a Session for IM, the way we have a Session in the http/servlet world - I mean, a way to relate the message the client is currently sending to my SBB with messages sent before.
Does it make any sense? The idea is to have my SBB acting like a state-machine and going from a state to another one upon receiving a message... therefore I need to store somewhere a state and link it to the user who is sending the messages.
What would be the best way to develop that in SLEE? hashtable or something else?
Thanks for your time
for the XMPP route, take a look at the Google Talk Bot example
Hi Ivelin,
I already did - it's a great example and Eduardo helped me a lot explaining to me some of the points which I had not fully understood at first
As a matter of fact I already built a simple demo XMPP service (firstname.lastname@example.com) - unfortunately it's only in italian at the moment :-)
talk to you soon
SIP Resource Adaptor already supports the request methods used in SIMPLE, which are PUBLISH, SUBSCRIBE AND NOTIFY.
What do you really want to do, a presence server?
We need to send/receive instant messaging so I think the sip operation method is MESSAGE.
Our prototype should be able to send/receive SIP/SIMPLE message, convert to SMPP format and viceversa.
SIP MESSAGE is also supported by the JSIP RA.
Looks like what you need fits as a JSLEE Service acting as a gateway, using both the SIP and SMPP RAs.
Hi again,
yes is exctly what we need. I wrote a simple SIP/SIMPLE client based on
The resulting mobicents output is:

Looking at SipResourceAdaptor/Mobicents source code I understand that javax.sip.dialog.Request.MESSAGE is already declared on SIPRA descriptor:
event-jar.xml (event-definition)
resource-adaptor-type-jar.xml (event-type-ref)
From mobicents logs I see during SIPRA installation:
EventTypeID[javax.sip.dialog.Request.MESSAGE#net.java#1.2], #40
but it seems Request.MESSAGE is not managed on SipResourceAdaptor or Mobicents
on line 653 of SipResourceAdaptor there's an event filtering on
on line 964 of SipResourceAdaptor there's a drop for not registered events.
My ideas are still not very clear about this topic.How can I register this events?Any advice?
Events are registered to RA (its akward to say so) during service installation process.
Slee Container goes throuh installed service sbb descriptors and extracts informamtion:
RAImplID->EventsReceivedBySbbs->ResourceOptionsForEvents (more or less)
and passes that information to RAs.
I think for now only sip and xmpp ra have this function. To simply say ras have list of services subsribed for events ra fires.
So if ra is about to fire some events it checks if that list lenght is greater than zero, if it is, it fires this event, otherwise it doesnt (sip ra prints that information "EVENT IS NOT GOING TO BE RECEIVED, DROPING).
SIP METHODS and list following shows only which methods are handled as events. For instance if You declare some method of Yours it will be considered as EXTENSION (another SIP method to handle everything that is unknown).
So the cause may be:
So possibly your sbb doesnt declare RA Link in its sbb-jar.xml
However is this client of Yours deployed as a service in mobicents (better to ask stupid questions :))
Hi All,
I found a working SIP/SIMPLE softphone at
I did some changes on SIPRA/SIP-SERVICE
public void onMessageEvent(RequestEvent event, ActivityContextInterface ac) {
trace(Level.INFO, "Received MESSAGE request");
try {
Request request = event.getRequest();
ServerTransaction serverTransaction = event.getServerTransaction();
processRequest(serverTransaction, request, ac);
} catch (Exception e) {
trace(Level.WARNING, "Exception during onMessageEvent", e);
public abstract void incrementNumberOfMessage(long value);
With these changes I can send/receive message.What i see is on mobicents logs:

On mobicents management console I see number of message are incremented
Services -> Usage Parameters -> Parameters Sets -> NumberOfMessages
I find the 3CX softphone quite good as well, at least it was the only one I could use to run some examples I wrote based on the SIP-RA.
One thing I wonder is: since the 4-5 softphones I downloaded should all support SIP, how come they behave so differently?!
I mean: using 3CX the SBB was receiving the message in clear text, using another (e.g. X-ten) the message was in xml format, with some others I didn't even manage to send the message to the SBB (even if the configuration steps were pretty much the same).
Is it so difficult to write SBBs which are able to provide services to any SIP client? with XMPP, IMHO, it looks easier to serve different clients (of course all of them supporting Jabber) - am I wrong?
Differences in impl?
Someone needs some features and embeds msg body in xml along with some properites.
See this - this is branch id from invite and cancel TX - shoudl be the same, but bol sipphone doesnt care:
I dont have any idea why we lack those lines, it should be there...

Photos from Inside a Polynesian Bungalow
These images happened to fall off a truck while I was walking around Disney World last week. They definitely are not the result of renting a pontoon boat, docking next to a bungalow, and hopping over a fence. Because that would be wrong.
Here's the living room. I like the furniture choices – lots of natural woods and textured surfaces. Also notice how the couch faces the lagoon view, not the television.
Here's the kitchen. Small, but functional enough to cook a light dinner if you wanted. I would have opted for a larger window over the sink instead of that decorative cupboard.

Guests Can Purchase DVC at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort Soon
Ed. note – Disney has not released points charts or pricing information for this Disney Vacation Resort yet.
Good news for those of you who are looking into purchasing DVC at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. You may begin to do so soon! Sales for the Disney Vacation Club property go on sale for current Disney DVC members on January 12. They'll then go on sale for everyone else beginning February 9 .
The first phase of this property is scheduled to open on April 1 with the introduction of the Bora Bora Bungalows and the first connecting Deluxe Studios.
DVC Merry Member Mixer Brings Holiday Cheer
The trees and garland are up all over Epcot. The holiday music wafts through the air as you enter the gates. It's a balmy 85 degrees. Feels like…winter?
Even with the heat, many families were standing in line in their holiday finery and heavy winter sweaters for the first DVC Merry Member Mixer of the year. Located at the World Showplace between Canada and the United Kingdom, this event is held during the holiday season for DVC members and their guests. It is a tradition for many families to enjoy holiday cheer at this free event.
I brought my personal self-described expert on all things holiday-related (my four-year-old daughter), and into the winter wonderland we went.
As you enter through the snow, make sure you are nice to Santa's elves standing outside. One had the naughty list, and one had the nice list – I didn't look to see which list I ended on, but my daughter was assured she made the nice list….so far.
TouringPlans #Everywhere – I'm Going to Vero Beach Resort!
Many, many months ago an article was posted announcing the coolest project ever. A group of Touring Plans bloggers was going to take the Disney universe by storm, dropping one of us in every location around the world for a first of its kind blogging event. It's called TouringPlans #Everywhere, and much like all of you I was looking forward to reading about it. Imagine my shock and absolute delight when I was invited to join the event by heading to Vero Beach! I'm still pinching myself, and the best part is I get to take you all with me!
So what have I done to plan? Well, I suppose writing this article is a start. To be fair, I'm planning a vacation to Tokyo Disneyland first that has been taking up most of my time. Also, since Vero Beach is just a couple hours away, it doesn't feel like a vacation that needs a ton of planning. It feels more like a beach weekend where you don't pack more than your bathing suit. I don't want that to make it sound like I'm not excited, though. If you can believe it, when I'm heading to Vero Beach it will be the only Disney location aside from Hong Kong I haven't visited! So let's take a look at what's there:

The Magic, The Memories, and Merch! November 2013 Photo Report of the Disney Outlet Store
Today is not just any day. Today is Black Friday. The official beginning to the Christmas shopping season. A day of bargains, lines, and
absolute terror excitement. There couldn't be a better day to lather ourselves up in pixie dust, strap on our Jessie cowgirl hat, and put on our Mickey Mouse "Hang Loose" shirt as we head out for our monthly photo report of the Disney Outlet Store.
You may remember last month that the outlet stores started selling 2013 merchandise at a deep discount, and this month a whole bunch of 2013 branded items joined the clearance rack including pins, graduation hats, basketballs, and laptop covers.
Disney World Community Hall FAQ
Did you know that there are places at Walt Disney World where you can paint pottery, play Monopoly, shoot some pool, borrow a movie, get in some Wii time, or just kick back and, you know, relax? All that and more happens at the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Community Halls.
Where are the Community Halls located?
At Walt Disney World, the Community Halls are located at:
- Animal Kingdom Lodge (Kidani)
- Bay Lake Tower
- Boardwalk Villas
- Old Key West
- Saratoga Springs
There are also Community Halls at the DVC facilities at Aulani, Hilton Head and Vero Beach, but I'll be talking specifically about WDW.
What do the Community Halls look like?
Picture a basement rec room or the hang out center at your local YMCA, only cleaner and brighter. I mean this description in the best possible sense, the Community Halls have a low-key, make-your-own-fun vibe that just says "old-fashioned Americana vacation." They're the polar opposite of the candy-colored perpetual motion of the theme parks.

Rain amounts vary widely
Posted by Lucy
Widely scattered rain storms moved slowly across Lyman County Sunday afternoon leaving varying amounts of rain fall behind.
National Weather Service observer Charlie Bowar reported 1.35 inches of rain at Kennebec.
Local reporters to the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow network (CoCoRaHS) in Lyman County reported as much as 4.18 inches two miles south of Kennebec to .28 north of Presho near the Chris Madsen ranch. Judge Jessop had 3.18 inches southwest of Presho, but only .38 south of Reliance along the White River.
Temperatures last week reached a high of 96 degrees at Kennebec on Thursday and Friday but high humidity levels made it feel much warmer.

Canoeing/Boating, Hamburg
4 Reviews
4 Reviews
Hamburg as a city is a city with maritime flair. There is the harbour, the Alsterlake, lots of canals throughout the city. The canals are great for canoeing and rowing. On Alsterlake you can rent a small sailing boat and have a day off...
Look here for addresses:
East of the harbour there are many places for relaxed canoeing and kayaking tours.
Especially one quiet branch of the Elbe, the Dove Elbe, is very popular for watersports. At one part of it, they somtimes have motor boat races. But most of it is relatively narrow and quiet.
Equipment: You can hire kayaks on the Dove Elbe.
Right in the center of Hamburg you find the Alster lake. Here you can hire sailing boats and rowing boats.
Should you want to go sailing, you should keep in mind that the winds are treacherous! Due to the buildings around it, the wind often comes from unexspected directions!
You also can go canoeing through the upper Alster and its tributaries and their connecting canals. This gives lots of possibilities for nice relaxing tours.
Equipment: Boats can be hired at several places.
Although the Elbe has a lot of ocean going commercial vessels goming in and out of Hamburg, it also is possible to enjoy water sports like sailing, kayaking and canoeing.
Of course you have to keep out of the main traffic route! People on those big cargo vessels might just not see you... !!!
So, for a relaxed boat trip it is best to stay just on one side!
Before you go, you also should get information about the tide schedule! Plan your trip according to the tide. Otherwise it might become a little frustrating, when actually the pedestrians on Elbufer-Wanderweg (scenic walk along the Elbe) are faster than you ;-)

Originally written on Bronx Pinstripes | Last updated 1/16/13
Before the season begins with the Red Sox on April 1 at the big ballpark in the Bronx, the Yankees will play an exhibition game at the United States Miitary Academy in West Point N.Y. Major League Baseball announced the Yankees and Army will play a 2 p.m. ET contest on March 30; no other details have been released yet. According to Yanks beat writer Bryan Hoch, the Yankees also traveled to West Point for exhibition games back when Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth were still playing. Yankee Stadium, of course, has been the host of multiple Army Football games, so the relationship between the two American institutions is long and distinguished. A day before they head to West Point, the Yanks will get a good look at Rafael Soriano in a Nationals uniform, as they play the Nats in D.C. for a preseason tuneup.

Re: Disappointments in doom 3
Yeah that is too bad. Personally I wasn't expecting much in the gameplay department because, let's face it, id's never delivered much. I just wanted to run around blasting dynamically-lit demons from hell, and that's what I got. I really don't play a lot of single player FPS's anymore either since Deus Ex ruined video games for me several years ago*. I do still play Doom 1 and 2 a lot with the ZDoom source mod, and they're still a blast. I guess the last really complex single player shooter I played was Half-Life, which I loved. Anyway, since it was just a bunch of crappy knock-offs and multiplayer games since then, I thought Doom 3 was a breath of fresh air (I'm a fan of single player FPS's). So complaining about having to switch between your gun and flashlight for the first few levels seems kinda silly to me, but hey, like vampireuk said, that's your view on it. I just hope you all learn from this and don't start freaking out about Half-Life 2, because it very well could have just as many little tiny faults that will be more noticable because of your monumental expectations. Just try to have fun with what you get, it's not that hard.
I don't want to hear about Far Cry anymore. I haven't seen a more overrated game than that since Halo. Yes, it has a different setting which is green, blue, and bright. Yes, it uses some nice-looking DirectX 9.0 features. Hell, I love the missions. It's awesome how you can approach them any number of ways. However:
-The story sucks. It's terrible, don't try to deny it.
-The actual game engine, aside from the pixel shaders and draw distance, is not revolutionary or impressive when compared to others (especially the Unreal 2 engine), INCLUDING the lighting.
-It runs like crap on all but the highest-end machines.
So come on, let's be reasonable. No more Far Cry comparisons.
*In my opinion, Deus Ex is the best video game ever made, and nothing has come close to its excellence since it was released.

In minor mode, a II chord in first inversion sometimes appears NOT with diatonic scale degree 2 in the melody, BUT WITH chromaticized (lowered) scale degree 2 ("flat" 2 in some keys (c-minor, g-minor, etc.) "natural" 2 in keys like c# minor, f# minor, etc.). In figured bass notation, the result is a lowered sixth above the bass or "Neapolitan" sixth.
In root position, the Neapolitan chord is a major triad whose root is lowered scale degree 2 ("flat" 2 or "nat." 2) Because of its distinctive position a semitone above the tonic, the Neapolitan chord is sometimes called Phrygian II.
Can you hear the Neapolitan Sixth Chord in the following musical excerpts?

Davis Center opened its doors during the 2007–2008 academic year to a campus that had anticipated its arrival for a number of years. The construction of the new building took nearly two years and the of cial opening, in concert with the opening of classes in the Fall of 2007, was scheduled to coincide with the University Convocation. The Green Carpet Opening on August 26, 2007 launched an incredible year for the Davis Center. The journey began under a beautiful full moon, and it was an adventure shared by many! We have learned a lot and achieved even more in spite of only a partial scal year of operations. The value of environmental stewardship was recognized when we received Gold LEED Certi cation from the U.S. Green ® data that captures overall programming and meeting use, food service programs, retail and service tenant activity, efforts to be great environmental stewards and social justice educators, academic outreach efforts, and other general information that will create a portrait of our rst partial year of operations. We have worked hard to operate as true to our values and mission as possible, and we are planning to use this report as a frame for planning for our second academic year and rst full scal year of operations. Please read this report with an open mind and don't hesitate to give us feedback. We are all working together to develop a truly unique part of the UVM campus. Building Council.

The rst year of Davis Center Operations has been a whirlwind of activity and major learning curves. By the end of summer 2007 a brand new staff of 75 students working in a variety of frontline and behind-the-scenes roles as well as a new Operations staff, custodial staff and developing physical plant staff all set out to ride the opening wave of the Davis Center. While the year got off to a rough start with the end of construction taking longer than expected, we were up and running the rst semester with many items un nished due to construction and AV issues. It was not easy, but we learned a great deal. In addition to learning we have an amazingly dedicated staff, we learned that we needed additional staff to help meet the needs and expectations of the campus. An additional scheduling coordinator was hired mid year, which has made a signi cant difference to our overall success. Processes and procedures continue to be ne tuned and developed and we are now looking to hire one additional staff member to help with the overwhelming volume of event support and coordination that is needed as well as an additional custodial team member to help keep our building beautiful and clean. A new building requires lots of breaking in. We have spent a great deal of time and money improving event and lounge spaces in a number of ways such as: installation of a full sound system in Brennan's Pub & Bistro, sound in the Livak Fireplace Lounge, additional portable and xed AV equipment for the building, installation of art rails to display artwork throughout the building, protective chair rails in meeting and lounge areas, modifying water fountains to include water bottle lling stations, setting up storage areas to better meet the needs of tenants and student organizations, and creating a physical plant zone staff and Davis Center custodial staff break and meeting room just to name a very few items. Between our student staff, of ce staff and custodial staff, the building is covered 24 hours a day and on average, we are open to the public 17 hours a day. This adds up to nearly 5,750 hours that we are open in a given year. Being the new crossroads of the campus, we are an extremely busy place. Recently added door counters recorded over 155,000 people coming and going in the month of May alone and just over 60,000 in the slower summer month of June. In the rst ten months of being open, over 3,000 meetings and events took place in the building. This past spring an online post-event survey was initiated to collect feedback from people hosting events in the building so that we can better assess where improvements are needed and where we are succeeding. This data has been critical in our process for continual improvement and will be an ongoing tool as we move forward to help us track our progress.

This fall, the DC hosted the Translating Identity Conference (TIC). In January, the Davis Center participated in UVM's Equity Day, which coincided with the campus-wide celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This spring, the remembrance of the 20th Anniversary of the 1988 Waterman Takeover raised awareness on campus.

Staff members separate all pre-consumer food waste for composting. In full swing, an average of 6 or 7 carts of food scraps are picked up everyday. The carts, weighing an average of 200 pounds each, are used to collect over a half-ton (1,400 pounds) of food scraps per day during the school year. Food scraps were collected by a private hauling company, and taken to the Intervale Compost facility in Burlington. All total, about 98 tons of food scraps were diverted for composting. The infrastructure at the Davis Center was designed to accommodate many waste streams for recycling. The loading dock features a large selfcontained compactor where recyclable cardboard, mixed paper and cans and bottle are stored prior to pickup.

Davis Center opening in the Fall of 2007, Sodexo contracted with three local vendors who saw a lot of action in the dynamic second oor Marketplace. The creative juices were owing from the local food creations at Capers to the authentic Indian Cuisine at Sukhi's, to the fresh salads and homemade soups making up Stocks and Stems. As we encountered an ever-changing population, so too did the concepts in the Marketplace take on a life of their own. Students missing the Round Room wanted more sandwich options, and we delivered at the 590 Main Street sandwich station selling over 18,000 sandwich combos. Sukhi's was also a favorite, selling over 9,000 entrees. We also sold over 15,000 cups of coffee. New World Tortilla made themselves known to students by selling over 62,000 burritos from their location during the year. Students can attest as they waited in line for their favorite Thai Chicken Burrito. Ben and Jerry's proved to be a favorite dessert stop and sold over 25,000 scoops of ice cream and gave away 4,920 cones on free cone day at the Davis Center (an impressive 615 scoops an hour). Brennan's Pub & Bistro came alive during the semester as the bugs were worked out of the sound systems and televisions popped up on the walls. Music is always a presence as well as live entertainment. In the spring, Brennan's had the rst WOW Hot Wing Eating Contest sponsored by the University Programming Board (UPB)— a tradition that will surely continue. Students proved that chicken tenders are still #1 as they ate over 13,000 tenders and also purchased 11,000 burritos and 7,000 Dudley Burgers. Beverage purchases are huge at the Davis Center— 54,021 in Bottled Beverages and 44,475 Fountain Drinks.

The way that they've done it—one grilled cheese at a time. By selling gourmet grilled cheese, FeelGood provides not only a delicious lunch for the campus community, but a means of connecting UVM students with the developing world. All of the money taken in by FeelGood is contributed to The Hunger Project (www.thp.org), an international organization that seeks to sustainably end world hunger by empowering people to be the solution to their own hunger. In order to send 100% of their earnings to THP, UVM FeelGood relies on local businesses like Klinger's Bakery, Shelburne Farms, and Vermont Base Waters for donations. Along with some help from the Student Government Association, since its inception UVM FeelGood has contributed over $70,000 towards the sustainable end to world hunger. UVM FeelGood is one chapter of FeelGood World that, since its founding in 2004 at the University of Texas, has spawned grilled cheese delis all over the country.

Shortly after, the Computer Depot, a full-service UVM COMPUTER DEPOT Staffed by Enterprise Technology Services (ETS), UVM's authorized reseller and service provider of Apple and Dell computer products gained great visibility this year. Chittenden Bank, Underground Copy: Print & Mail, and Growing Vermont, a student-run business carrying local products, followed.

This student-run business features socially-responsible and local products. The store does double duty—it educates on the positive impact of buying locally and is a learning laboratory for the next generation of entrepreneurs. G R O W I N G V E R M O N T : V E N D O R P R O F I L E Barnoire Furniture & Cabinetry Barnoire is a local crafter's company responsible for the unique look of the Growing Vermont store. Reclaimed lumber from local barns created this rustic look. Growing Vermont current has a selection of "rustic" mirrors and furniture created by Barnoire for sale at Growing Vermont. Barnoire Furniture and Cabinetry was born in 2001, when an inspired client commissioned Raphael Groten (UVM Class of 1996) to build an office armoire out of her old dismantled barn. In jest, this piece was dubbed to be in the style of "barnoire" (barn + armoire = barnoire). Since that time, Barnoire has designed and built a wide range of unique pieces. Through the reuse of old barns and buildings, Barnoire has created aesthetic, functional furniture and cabinetry. By recycling old wood they not only conserve precious material resources, but also preserve the history of Vermont and New England's cultural heritage.

1911 - 2012
Ina Fogarty died at her home in Walla Walla on the morning of Dec. 20, 2012, at the age of 101. Born Sept. 4, 1911, Ina was the youngest of eight children born to Claus and Ida S. Peterson of Moscow, Idaho.
She graduated from Moscow High School and the University of Idaho and later obtained a teaching credential from the same institution. In the 1930s she taught business subjects at Troy High School, Moscow High School, and also Walla Walla High School (1938-39). While teaching at Moscow High School she met a fellow teacher, Joseph J. (Jerry) Fogarty, whom she later married (Dec. 28, 1940) at her parents' home in Moscow.
During World War II, Ina lived in Twin Falls, Idaho, while her husband Jerry headed the night school at the Minidoka Project for Japanese Americans forcibly relocated from their homes in the Pacific Northwest. As a result of this experience, Ina sympathized with Japanese Americans and had several close friends in this community.
In 1944, when the Minidoka project was closed down, Ina and Jerry moved to Walla Walla, where Jerry had been appointed a professor of education at Whitman College. She lived the rest of her long life in Walla Walla, though she retained close ties with Moscow, where her mother; two sisters, Ellen and Agnes; and a brother, Robert, lived for many years. Her sister, Alice Zaring, lived in Walla Walla and another sister, Jennie Newland, lived in Ritzville, Wash. All preceded Ina in death.
When her three sons had reached school age, Ina resumed her teaching career at Walla Walla High School in 1956. She taught business subjects at Wa-Hi until retiring in 1966. After her husband retired from Whitman in 1970, they were able to travel extensively in Europe and the U.S. Jerry died in 1998. Ina prided herself on living independently and until the last two years grew vegetables in her garden and packaged her spicy dried hot peppers for her friends and relatives. When she could no longer live completely on her own, she was greatly aided by her son James, who lived close by in Walla Walla.
Her niece Sally Powers and her husband, David, helped to manage Ina's finances. In her last years she also had the assistance of a number of dedicated caregivers, particularly Mary Gonzalez and Santana Senior Home Care.
Ina is survived by her three sons, James R. Fogarty of Walla Walla, Richard Michael Fogarty of Bremerton, David Fogarty of Berkeley, Calif.; and a granddaughter, Nadine Fogarty, of Oakland, Calif. She is also survived by her nieces, Sally Powers of Ritzville, Roberta Thompson of Santa Cruz, Calif.; and nephews, Max Peterson of Salinas, Calif., and Robert Peterson, Jr., of Moscow, Idaho.
Ina's kindness, generosity, humor and strength of character will continue to inspire her family and friends. Donations may be made in her name to the Blue Mountain Chapter, American Red Cross.

IVF update: Stim day 6
Things went really well today. I actually had my Dr do my ultrasound this morning and she was more than willing to give me all the details that I wanted. I didn't even have to get rude with anyone.
As of right now I have 20+ follicles. All ranging in size from 12mm to 15mm (with the exception of a few crazy 24mm runaways) WOOHOO!!! I am so excited, not only to finally have some specifics, but also because my ovaries are stimming like rock stars. Hummm, does that even make sense to compare my ovaries to rock stars? Probably not, but you get my point. I will be 30 at the end of the month, and just figured my ovaries wouldn't produce as many follicles this time. They are definitely proving me wrong though.
My meds have been reduced again to about 37.5iu of Follistim (yes, I have to divide one 75iu vial in half. Fun fun!) My next appointment is Monday at 8:45am and as of right now it looks like ER will be on Wednesday 2/16.
Remember how I wasn't feeling any pain in my last post? Well apparently my ovaries read that post too because they are now REALLY tender. I can barely even sit down today. My jeans have been retired until after ER because I can't take the pressure on my waistline. I'm living in yoga pants these days, which if I am being totally honest is not that big of change from my every day life. I love me some yoga pants!
Hopefully only 4 more days until Egg Retrieval!!! WOOHOOO!!

Those are fantastic numbers! WOW! You ARE a rockstar!
I can't wait to find out how many fertilize. And I assume you will freeze some for another baby later?
I wish I had 20 follies!

Whoah! That's a great haul. Make sure you drink plenty of water and avoid hyperstimulation. Good luck with fertilisation and transfer!
