There are few teams in hockey as loaded offensively as the Pittsburgh Penguins. The trouble for the Penguins is, there are plenty of teams better at the other end of the ice. Following two first-round playoff exits, including a six-game loss to Philadelphia last spring, Pittsburgh is hoping a renewed focus on defense will lead to the franchise's fourth Stanley Cup. The Penguins led the NHL in scoring last year, and that was with star center Sidney Crosby limited to just 22 games due to concussion-like symptoms. Yet Pittsburgh was a middling 17th in goals allowed. The defense got even worse in the playoffs, when the Flyers scored 30 goals in six games. The short training camp hasn't allowed Penguins coach Dan Bylsma to tweak the team's system yet, but the players say they need to be more responsible defensively.

I just got my BFP today!!! I have been taking fertility blend for 1 month, I believe I had low progesterone( I was spotting a week before AF since I stopped BC) I have read others who have had MC after stopping vitex suddenly. Has anyone taken Fertility blend and got a BFP?? What did you do next?? Help
Afraid to stop taking Fertility blend/ Vitex after BFP

I'm dying to know...anyone??
oceonlady77-what did you decide to do?
I've read numerous posts from other women who were taking Vitex (a.k.a. Chasteberry, found in Fertility Blend), they got their BFP, and continued to take Vitex throughout their 1st trimester and some even through their whole pregnancy with no problems and had healthy babies! I think the reason there are warnings against taking Vitex during pregnancy is because there's not enough clinical evidence to cover their butts if someone tried to sue them over a miscarriage while taking Vitex. Personally, I think it's safe. I am taking Vitex (just started a week ago) and I've decided that once I get my BFP, I'm going to continue taking it through my 1st trimester... just until the placenta takes over with the production of the progesterone.

Keith Boyd is a ten year old with many aspirations. Although he was born with Cerebral Palsy, a condition that affects his mobility as well as his ability to speak, he doesn't let that stop him from dreaming of the possibilites! He has been on an amazing journey in the last decade.
One of the highlights is having the honor of attending The Little Light House, a tuition free Christian school for children with special needs from ages two to six. During his time there he was learning and preparing for elementary school, but the most notable moment was when he received his high-tech eye gaze computer, which is a speech generating device. It opened up his world, he was finally able to participate in life by making his own choices. A truly life-changing moment! The opportunities he was given, and the love that he was shown, helped build his confidence and shape him for a successful future. Keith continues to be an active Alumni, attending events and raising funds to help support The Little Light House.
Since graduation, Keith has attended Skelly Elementary where he has been in class with his typically developing peers. He enjoys school and puts a lot of pride into his work as well as the relationships he builds.
Aside from school, he has been a guest speaker at the University of Tulsa on several occassions, speaking to students in the Speech and Language Pathology department about his experiences with developing skills on his communication device. His story has also been covered in different media outlets, such as Fox23 news, News on 6, Tulsa World, and Tulsa People Magazine.
Some of his interests are baseball, fishing and boating, surfing the internet, and spending time with family and friends. He loves adventure! He also spends a lot of time coming up with business ideas and has his heart set on owning his own businesses one day. Currently he is the CEO of Keith's Ice Cold Lemonade Stand, if you want to see what is happening, feel free to check it out on Facebook.
Recognizing Boyd's entrepreneurial spirit, local franchised Chick-fil-A Operator and Thrive15 mentor Arthur Greeno reached out to Keith's parents to ask how he could make the lemonade stands become a reality. Greeno enlisted the help of other Thrive15 mentors, who helped create a website for the lemonade stands and secured local sponsors and media partners for the initiative. Additionally, Greeno secured donations of lemons and tea for the stands.
"I knew I had to meet Keith when I heard his story," said Greeno. "I was so inspired when he shared his business plan with me that he had written with his eyes. Many people dream big, but to take action is very admirable."
"Thrive15 was honored to provide Keith the tools he needs to succeed in business," says Thrive15 CEO Clay Clark. "Keith reminds us that it doesn't matter what your circumstances are, you can thrive if you are diligent."

Most recent Sermons on Sermon Cloud All Time
Sermons about Friendship
Order By:
Recent | Downloads | Amens
Loving as Jesus Loves
I can remember a deeply theological discussion in grade five where a friend, with a recent Sunday school lesson in mind, declared that he loved a particular girl in a Christian sort of way. The more he talked though, the more it seemed that not hating her passed muster as a Christian kind of love. So when Jesus tell us to love one another, what precisely does that mean? Today we take a look to find out. The written summary of this sermon can be read at https://goo.gl/UNl0FA
The Me in We: Friendship
Lesson Aim: To grow in understanding God's vision for intimate friendships.
Jonathan and David
The missing link in most people's spiritual lives is an intentionally formed, well developed inner circle. Developing that circles take a lot of commitment and effort. This week we will look at what Jonathan and David did to go deep and strengthen their relationship.
Iron Sharpens Iron - Proverbs 27:17
When we work with each other, we become better people. We need to be consistent in our friendship, use candor in our discussions, and compassion in our challenges.
Gifts of the Season
During the Christmas season, many of us seem to be looking for that perfect gift. Sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of chaotic shoppers trying to get the best gift for the best deal. This seems to have become the nature of the Christmas season. When we stop and reflect on the gifts from God and the gifts of the season, it sometimes seems evident that the gift that is lacking is the gift of peace.
The Best Friendship Ever
Because God is a triune and eternally relational God, we as His image-bearers have an intrinsic need and longing for friendship. We will only find true fulfilling friendship when the love of God motivates us to love God and love one another.
The Best Friendship Ever
Because God is a triune and eternally relational God, we as His image-bearers have an intrinsic need and longing for friendship. We will only find true fulfilling friendship when the love of God motivates us to love God and love one another.
The Connected Life
What are the implications of the statement made in verse 14 that Jesus "made his dwelling among us?" We know from the Gospels that He taught the truth of the Father and He touched the lives of many, but not just through His words. Jesus physically touched people - He healed lepers and cripples; He raised the dead and healed many from disease; He fed thousands of people and made wine for a wedding. He became connected to those around him. He knew the people next to Him by name, not because they came to Him, but because He went to them. At All Saints we are called to be Ambassadors of Christ, spreading the good news of salvation not only to those who enter our doors, through worship and sermons, but also to those in our neighborhood by loving them, showing empathy, and being real, however we can. As we engage in ministry, and in this whole idea of relationships, how do we create a connectedness where you and I can love and be loved, where we can know and be known, where we can serve and be served, where we can celebrate and be celebrated?

Crysis demo - what score should it get?
Remember the scores Bioshock and Orange box are getting? Did they really deserver those scores?
If Crysis does not get a 10/10 then I'm really at a loss as to what people want or expect.
And if the scores are reduced cause of poor performance complaints, the crappy stuff Bioshock had didn't seem to effect its scores much... lame FOV, widescreen, no FSAA, etc..
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I'd give it an 11 really. It is so head and shoulders above other games it's not even funny. The people that are complaining about performance and not being able to turn the setttings up seem to be disregarding the fact that even on XP with high settings this is still by far the best looking game out there.
The nay sayers also seem to be forgetting about many of the things that were said over the last 6 months or so....
"it will take PC hardware 18 months to catch up with game."
"The game will run very smoothly on high settings with todays hardware"
It looks great, runs great and is amazing fun.... and the best part: it's just a demo covering only the 1st level.... this game is going to be amazing :D
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
Well, I didn't like Far Cry, and Crysis seems basically just like Far Cry with prettier graphics so I wasn't hooked at all.
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I voted 10.
1. Brilliant graphics
2. Varied gameplay
3. Avoidance of the old run n gun formula, tactics are needed here
4. Nice control implementation, this could have been pretty rough
5. A new level of melee (Hold em by the throat and beat them) never gets old :D
6. Looks like EVERYTHING is destructible
7. Anything that can't be picked up would be too heavy anyway..the chickens crack me up!
I'll probably add a lot more to the list after playing the full game..I just love this demo!
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
Besides the graphics I don't think anything is that amazing about it. Not even the story. I think it will get a big pass because of the graphics but then again its too soon to judge the whole game based on the demo. Going by the demo I would give it a solid 8.5-9 though.
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I vote 9
The Game engine still needs to be optimized for better performance with lower specs
If the final game is better optimized then i will vote 10
Congratulations to the German company CRYTEK
The Crytek engine abilities are superior from the Unreal Engine
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
amazing graphics, nothing really new gameplay wise overall so I wouldnt give it a 10.
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I gave 9 cose of lame nightvision its future who uses such crappy gear where is thermal goggles :thumbdwn:
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I voted 7.5
I don't see the beautiful graphics, I see leaves on trees that are a lot more low res than the pics and movies we were fed a year and a half ago.
I see a lot of aa needed, but bad performance even without it.
Nothing new brought to the table regarding gameplay.
It's not a horrible game, it just doesn't blow me away in any aspect.
I still feel Gears of War is better graphically and in gameplay. Multiplayer as well. Much more detailed textures, the chainsaw..Gears for graphics and online - area 51 for single player.
Crysis is too unoptimized and not original enough to justify the frustration of playing it at 25 fps at high.
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
9.5. It has the graphics, the gameplay, replay value, great AI, great physics, SP and MP. This game deserves at least the scores of Bioshock but it actually brings a lot more the table, incl. huge mod support and I'm sure dev support will be good too, unlike other devs that abondon their games after release..
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
Whoa. Holy fanboy threads. "CRYSIS DESERVES A 10 JUST FROM THE DEMO!!" How about we wait to see what the full game offers first.
It's going to be a good game, but the controls need a little polish. Sometimes I get stuck in prone, because I'm caught on some sort of physics. Also, trying to enter a boat from the water is a trial of frustration.
Re: Crysis demo - what score should it get?
I'm going to wait for the game to come out before I vote :p Demo's don't really give the full feel of the game. Looking forward to it though!

I now use the separate tub, but my tanks still foam! I wonder if the Photoflo formula changed at some point in the recent past? Alex.

When I was 9, I decided I was either going to be a bank robber/surfer or play in a rock n roll band. I'm not brave enough to ride the big waves and not radical enough to rob banks, so here I am with a guitar in my hand. I think my mother is very happy with that call. As a kid, I gravitated toward three things: songs, swagger and spectacle. When I turned 11, I got a bright red Gibson Les Paul, which I took all over my hometown of Birmingham, AL– talent shows, birthday parties, middle school dances, and all the other glamorous gigs you book when you're a kid who just wants to play all the time. I was enamored with over-the-top rock stars that were pushy and unapologetic because they were that good. I was drawn to the weight and chops of Jimmy Page and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the soul and grit of Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder. I couldn't get enough. As the fascination grew, I quickly started writing my own songs. At 19, I quit school, started a new band, played every dive in the Southeast for 50 bucks and beer, and eventually signed a giant record deal with Epic Records in 2005. We spent lots of their money making a big record, opening big tours, and believing big promises. The wheels eventually fell off and we realised this isn't about overnight success. You have to grind it out for a LONG time. You have to work your ass off just to get by. You have to keep paying your dues and keep paying your dues and keep paying your dues. In 2008, I decided to go solo and take the DIY route. It was time to own it. The thrill of any success and the weight of any failure would be on my shoulders. I wasn't going to hide behind a band or pretend it wasn't my name on the marquee. I was ready for another season. I recorded The Fire EP in August 2008 and the reset process was in full effect. I self-released 7 more EP's over the course of the next year and a half. I toured in my car, shared bills with some incredible artists, and made some new friends. I had a couple of songs placed on Grey's Anatomy and made it to number 1 on the iTunes singer/songwriter charts a few times. By May of 2010, I had a list of 30 tunes that I still hadn't recorded. With the help of fans, Pledge Music, and producer Paul Moak, I had the team and the resources to make my first full- length album. I headed to Nashville to make Now You're Free, a record I had always wanted to make full of anthemic rock songs with heart. After touring that record, I was dying to do something a bit more stripped down. I wanted to make a record full of the residuals—full of what's left on the canvas after you strip it all off. I had parted ways with everything. My relationship with my management/agency was on the rocks, my personal life was a nightmare, and the song output was at an all time high. That's when I decided to make a record for me. No pressure, no rules. I decided to be an artist again. No business, just art. That's where A Banquet For Ghosts began. I gave everything I had to that record. Every note, every lyric, every imperfection – they're all part of a bigger story. A story I need to tell. So here I am. 29 years old and still climbing the ladder. Partially because I love it, partially because I'm addicted to it. I still tour in a van. I still rummage through the gummy worms at 4am fuel stops. I still look out the window for hours because I can't sleep in a moving vehicle. I still miss home. And I still dream. A wise man once sang, "I know it's only rock n roll…but I like it." I hope you do too.

This is the second time I ordered something from Wayfairs,and my second review. This item is bigger than expected, so be careful when ordering it. [...]When I received it I realized the base to hold the plates did not fit properly and it was not going to be able to hold such a heavy plate. So, we decided to buy a super strong glue for metal, and we glued the base, so that way the plate would stay on the base without breaking. It brought an screw but that was not big nor strong enough to hold all that weight. It looks fine at one of my hall entrance tables , [...]

When ospreys returned to breed in Scotland, this ancient Caledonian pineforest is where they chose to come. The Loch Garten Osprey Centre provides fantastic views of these magnificent birds on the nest, as well as close up views thanks to our non-invasive CCTV camera.
This oasis of calm is just 10 minutes from the centre of Belfast. We manage the lagoon to create ideal conditions for wading birds and ducks in autumn and winter, and for breeding terns in summer.
If you haven't been to Dungeness, nothing can quite prepare you for this landscape - mile after mile of shingle, wild and weird! Dungeness's position, jutting into the English Channel, makes it ideally placed to watch for migrant birds arriving or departing.
This is the place to witness two of the UK's great wildlife spectacles: tens of thousands of wading birds wheeling over the mudflats, or packed onto roostbanks and islands in front of our hides at high tide, plus the dawn and dusk flights of skies full of pink-footed geese.
Blow away the cobwebs with a bracing walk along the cliff top path - you can see the Isle of Man on a clear day. In spring and summer, you'll want to stop at our three viewpoints to marvel at the largest seabird colony in north-west England.
This remote headland has spectacular displays of wild flowers, including sea campion, thrift and spring squill. In spring and summer, thousands of seabirds nest on the cliffs. In August, look out for great yellow bumblebees.

Americans and obesity seem to go together these days like KFC and angioplasty, so it only makes sense we continue to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining good health.
Do you have a new, unexplained rash? Turns out that your iPad may be the culprit. Experts are saying that the tablets may contain nickel, one of the most common allergy-inducing metals.
An ongoing investigation by the Food and Drug Administration has prompted Consumer Reports to urge parents not to use spray-on sunscreen on or near children.
When your power goes out, there are a few health concerns to take into consideration. At the top of the list is your refrigerator- make sure that you keep it closed as much as possible. Every time you open the door, air gets in and raises the temperature several degrees
A new Study out of Northwestern University in Chicago shows we can undo the damage we've done to ourselves over the years.
I came across this article and had to share. I am one of those people who is NOT 'naturally' fit. I mean, I eat one cheeseburger and I start to look like the Michelin Man. So, those people who seem to always be fit; what do they do differently? Let's answer that.
One of my pet peeves at the gym is when people leave the treadmills running while they leave for a quick break, I don't get that. This is a good example of why to NOT do that.
This works, I tried it last night.
Man, I can't believe that it's already been three weeks and nine treatments for me at Life Spa 360! The time has gone by extremely fast, and I went into my appointment yesterday hoping that the numbers would reflect the way that I'm feeling which is... well... skinnier!
Hi guys! It's come time for another update as to what's been going on with me, cold laser therapy, and the awesome folks at Life Spa 360!
If you've never heard of Cold Laser Therapy (CLT), then I'm about to tell you about something that you have always wanted, but never knew existed. CLT can be used for a variety of problems, such as inflammatory conditions, but at Life Spa 360, they focus on fat reduction and body contouring.
I had my initial consultation and first treatment on Monday using LumiSlim at Life Spa 360, and I wanted to fill you in on the process and the results that I'm already seeing.

Loved seeing this in a Monterey Newspaper. Congratulations to Kim Reeder!
Reeder tosses no-no for Ohio St.
John Devine County clipboard
A decision to give up swinging the bat is paying immediate dividends for Kim Reeder.
Giving her full attention to pitching, the Ohio State sophomore tossed her first collegiate no-hitter last week.
Reeder followed that up with a two-hitter in the Magic City Classic, earning all-tournament honors for the Buckeyes.
Earlier this spring, Reeder earned wins against Cal and BYU, both of which are in the Top 25.
Reeder is 5-2 with a 3.03 earned run average. Last year she was named the top scholar athlete in softball at Ohio State with a 3.8 grade point average.
Reeder pitched Notre Dame to three Central Coast Section titles, compiling more than 80 wins in her prep career.

27 year old man | Seattle, WA, USA | Seeking women 21-30 within 5 miles
My name is David, and I am an easy going guy who likes adventure, traveling, learning new things, gardening, running and tough mudder races.
I'm currently working as a child educator in a Parent Education center and a program coordinator for a non profit serving homeless youth. I'm looking for someone to share adventures with and explore the city. Or go on the ferris wheel! I also enjoy trying to dance. I've taken some Lindy Hop classes and had a great time, and wouldn't mind going with someone again. A great night out could look like dinner, dancing and drinks. It could also look like a movie and some waterfront walking. The Seattle waterfront is one of my favorite places in Seattle. I've been training a lot for an up and coming Tough Mudder race. Fitness is a fairly important aspect of my life, as in overall self care. I also want to run a half marathon and eventually a full. Anyway, if there is anything else you would like to know, just ask!

The administration move will strike some critics as too broad of an assertion of executive power, intended to keep some counterterrorism actions outside of the realm of the courts, said Matthew Waxman, who served in the Bush administration and now is at Columbia Law School.
The administration will face criticism that, contrary to its pledges of greater transparency, it is following the Bush Administration in trying to shield controversial counter-terrorism programs from court and public scrutiny.
"It is seen by some as not just an attempt to assert executive powers, but to make those powers unreviewable," Waxman said. "The Obama administration will face criticism that, contrary to its pledges of greater transparency, it is following the Bush Administration in trying to shield controversial counter-terrorism programs from court and public scrutiny."
But the argument has found success in the courts.
Recently, the administration successfully got a California case challenging an aspect of the Bush administration's "extraordinary rendition program" dismissed by arguing that if the suit were to go forward in open court, it would jeopardize national security.
Awlaki was born in New Mexico in 1971. He left seven years later for Yemen but returned to the United States to attend college at Colorado State University. He obtained a master's degree at San Diego University and later enrolled at George Washington University, but did not complete a Ph.D. program there. He is married with three children.
"He's clearly someone we are looking for," CIA Director Leon Panetta, a defendant in the suit by Awlaki's father and the rights groups, told the Wall Street Journal in March. "There isn't any question that he is one of the individuals that we're focusing on."
Officials say Awlaki may be linked to other terrorism plots in the United States. He has been tied to Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, the accused gunman in the November 2009 shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.
"We take direct actions against terrorists in the intelligence community," then-Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair told the House Intelligence Committee in February. "[If] we think that direct action will involve killing an American, we get specific permission to do that.
"Whether that American is involved in a group that is trying to attack us, whether that American is a threat to other Americans -- those are the factors involved," Blair said. "We don't target people for free speech. We target them for taking action that threatens Americans."

Veteran NFL referee Ed "Big Guns" Hochuli appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated this past month, likely becoming the first NFL official to grace the 'cursed' cover.Nobody in the history of humanity has ever uttered the "L" word regarding sports officials. Over the years, NFL officials have slowly but surely been gaining more recognition and fame. Growing up, the only official I ever "knew' was the legendary Red Cashion. That was because of Red's special way of announcing decisions to the crowd. Cashion especially got a great deal of joy letting the home team's fans know about decisions that benefited their club."FIRST DOOOWWWWWNNNN!" followed by an enthusiastic first down arm signal. In my memory, he's the only ref who could actually pump up a crowd. I loved this guy, he was awesome.Instant replay went completely away for many years.

the cardinals needoffensive linemen, no qb could survive with the line they had last season, fix the Oline & work with the qbs they have & draft a qb in 2014
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 2/12/13
Kevin Kolb was a hot commodity filling in for Donovan McNabb against the Baltimore Ravens in 2009 and playing lights out. Kolb's first NFL start was against the New Orleans Saints due to a continued injury to McNabb. He threw for 391 yards on 31 completions and made his second start in place of McNabb, throwing for 327 yards and two touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kolb became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for more than 300 yards in each of his first two career starts. Kolb was traded to the Cardinals in 2011, and Arizona thought they were getting their quarterback of the future. Yesterday seemed so long ago, Following a quarterback battle, Kolb lost his starting position to John Skelton for the 2012 NFL season. Kolb originally signed for 6 years / $62.11 million with the Arizona Cardinals. He is making $9 million in 2013. That's a high number that team president Michael Bidwill would like to get under control. "It's a big number and given the productivity and the questions about durability and everything, that's something that I think the reality is we need to sit down and discuss," team president Michael Bidwill said in interview with KTAR, via Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic. var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cardica, Inc. (Nasdaq: CRDC) today announced that it has surpassed 25,000 deployments of its proprietary PAS-Port® Proximal Anastomosis System during on- and off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries. The PAS-Port system creates a secure connection, or anastomosis, between a vein graft and the aorta, the main artery in the human body, during CABG procedures and was first shipped to Japan and Europe in 2004 before receiving US FDA market clearance in September 2008.
"I use the PAS-Port System in all cardiac bypass procedures as it saves me time in the operating room and allows me to perform less invasive MIDCAB surgeries," said Darien Bradford, M.D., cardiothoracic surgeon at Texas Healthcare. "Importantly, this is the right tool for my patients as it is reliable and the grafts connected using the PAS-Port device have been shown in clinical studies to produce the same patency as hand sewn sutures."
The PAS-Port system allows a surgeon to complete an automated connection of the bypass graft vessel to the aorta (known as a proximal anastomosis) without the need to clamp and manipulate the aorta. The common method of completing a proximal anastomosis in CABG surgery often requires that the aorta be clamped and utilizes time-consuming hand-sewn sutures. When the clamp is released, tiny blood clots or particles from the aortic wall can be released, which can then travel to the brain and cause stroke and other neurologic complications. In addition, the PAS-Port's unique design allows for a comparable take-off angle when compared to hand-sewn sutures, and enables normal blood flow as the PAS-Port's implant design does not introduce metal into the lumen. "Since its international introduction in 2004 and FDA clearance in 2008, our PAS-Port system has been used by hundreds of surgeons to

Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo Travel Guide
For many, Monte Carlo is synonymous with its lavish casinos, a staple of the area for more than a century and a half, and no trip would be complete without a trip to the betting tables. Live out your James Bond fantasies at the Casino de Monte Carlo, a glitzy 1910-built complex that features slot machines, French roulette and private rooms for craps, blackjack and more. Then, take your winnings and get a taste of the thriving nightlife Monte Carlo is known for.
Monte Carlo isn't all about the gambling, however. Visitors can glimpse the principality's medieval history with a tour of Le Rocher ("The Rock"), the old town that's still home to Monaco's government entities and the Grimaldi family's royal residence. Thousands also make the trek to the 19th-century Cathedral of Monaco to pay their respects to Princess Grace. Travelers looking for things to do in Monte Carlo will find plenty of opportunities to wander. Spend time soaking up the sun along its Mediterranean shoreline, or stroll through its Jardin Exotique, home to the World's largest collection of succulents and cacti.
There's plenty of horsepower in this collection of 100 vintage automobiles, including a 1903 De Dion Bouton and a 1929 Bugatti—an appropriate exhibit in a city famous for its annual Formula 1 race.
You'll find most of the usual high-fashion suspects—Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Cartier—near the Casino de Monte Carlo.
The 19th-century Romanesque-Byzantine cathedral constructed of white stone from La Turbie is the final resting place of the former Princes of Monaco as well as Princess Grace.
Princess Grace opened the housewares shop in 1966, and it remains the place for locally handcrafted Monégasque and Provençal items, such as embroidered tablecloths, hand-carved frames, and colorful ceramic platters. Best yet, all proceeds go to charity.
Order a milky pastis or the traditional Monte Carlo Imperial—made with gin, white crème de menthe, lemon juice, and champagne—and watch the sun set on the Bentleys and Lamborghinis clustered around the casino across the plaza.
Built in the 16th century on the site of an ancient fortress, the official residence of Monaco's royal family overlooks the harbor and is open for tours June through October. Don't miss the ceremonial changing of the guard daily at 11:55 a.m.
Pick up porcelain candy boxes bearing Prince Rainier's personal seal at this shop, which is the official provider of Palace gifts. There's also luxury tableware and other decorative accessories by the likes of Moser Cristal, Valombreuse, Hervé Gambs.
Thanks to a recent $34 million renovation to the Salle Garnier, the spectacle of opera season in Monte Carlo rises to new heights.
During the day, a Zen-like atmosphere permeates the posh seaside restaurant. Come sunset, though, energy levels pick up with the pop of champagne corks, and DJs provide a pulsing soundtrack for late-night revelers who dance until dawn.
The official chocolate maker of Monaco since 1920 sells an assortment of handmade chocolates infused with lavender, pistachio, and orange packaged in elegant porcelain boxes, and Provençal specialties such as Calissons d'Aix, made from almond paste and a thin layer of icing.

Hostels as you might suspect host backpackers from all over the globe. We've had guests from virtually everywhere; from Paraguay to Poland; from Zanzibar to Zimbabwe.
People visit from the world over; they even come from beautiful downtown Grimsby! Where's Grimsby you might ask? Well it's about 60 miles down the road about 3/4 way to Niagara Falls!
We've just had a lovely young Soccer star from Grimsby check in while she was on a break from mid-term exams in her final year of high-school. It's what you might call an escape to the big city.
Now, Grimsby (as the name might imply) used to be quite grim! It is situated just off the main highway so it is not actually on the way to anywhere in particular.
It used to be considered a boring little town with both city limits signs on the same stick; but, in a time of soaring big city real estate prices it has swelled to a population of over 22,000 souls and serves as a "bedroom community" for larger cities such as Hamilton, St. Catherine's, Burlington, Mississauga and even Toronto.
Anyhow, lovely little Amy has come all the way from Grimsby to spend a bit of time in he big city.
She might not hail from the most exotic locale; but, you'll have to admit that she makes a lovely addition to both the hostel and Toronto!

I apologize if there is an existing post or sticky about this, but I couldn't find one. I have been on a dairy elimination diet for 12 weeks and am ready to do a dairy challenge. My 6 1/2 month old DD tested negative for an igE response, but I fear she has an intolerance. Anyway, does anyone have any dairy challenge tips? How much and what kind of dairy should I try this first time? How long will it take to get into my breast milk?
I'm not sure the proper way to reference other posts, but this has the details of my experience with this so far.
Mommy to my Lamb, born 9/22/2008 and my Penguin, born 2/21/2011
: HypnoBirthing Mama
First off, IgE tests on children under 2yo are problematic (in that they're not very accurate). What were the reactions like before you went on the elimination?
Your options would be to give it to them directly (not contaminating your milk, which could take up to 4 days to leave your system) or drink a glass of milk and wait. Some kids react during the very next feeding. My DS reacted exactly 24 hours after I ingested milk and then continued reacting for 3 more days. At the time, I didn't know of anything to mitigate reactions so it was just wait it out, which wasn't fun.
I wonder if you have something with no proteins in it (like something with just lactose in it, which is the milk sugar) if that would tell you more (like that she's only intolerant to the protein)?

|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Book description: Algebraic logic is a subject in the interface between logic, algebra and geometry, it has strong connections with category theory and combinatorics. Tarski's quest for finding structure in logic leads to cylindric-like algebras as studied in this book, they are among the main players in Tarskian algebraic logic. Cylindric algebra theory can be viewed in many ways: as an algebraic form of definability theory, as a study of higher-dimensional relations, as an enrichment of Boolean Algebra theory, or, as logic in geometric form ("cylindric" in the name refers to geometric aspects). Cylindric-like algebras have a wide range of applications, in, e.g., natural language theory, data-base theory, stochastics, and even in relativity theory. The present volume, consisting of 18 survey papers, intends to give an overview of the main achievements and new research directions in the past 30 years, since the publication of the Henkin-Monk-Tarski monographs. It is dedicated to the memory of Leon Henkin.

Bond and beyond: getting into bed with movie-makers is a risky play for brands
By Noelle McElhatton, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Wednesday, 24 October 2012 09:00AM
Unique is perhaps the best way to describe the Bond film franchise. As a UK-based series of productions, none can compare to the Bond movies' history, sexiness or global reach. Small wonder, then, that Heineken is one of the latest brands to fall under 007's alluring spell.
It is not the only one. In Skyfall, which premiered yesterday (Tuesday), Bond is seen with a veritable shopping trolley of brands, from Sony to Coke.
Good luck to Heineken, you might say, for having pockets deep enough to buy its way in to one of the biggest product-placement packages in film history.
For watch brand Omega and Bond, there is a clear dovetailing of high-end product and handsome male lead. This natural fit can be spread across advertising and other communications, as well as the obvious on-screen placement. For most other brands, however, just how relevant is a potential 007 tie-up - or, indeed, any movie partnership - to their marketing strategy?
It's a hard question to answer, as even brands with a pedigree of movie-related campaigns are reluctant to give precise details.
Overall, the effectiveness of most film/brand partnerships remains moot. The risk that brands take in allying themselves with movies, as well as celebrities and activities way beyond their core business, is a theme of this week's issue of Marketing.
While Bond may have limited appeal to brands that struggle to understand whether hard numbers match the glamour of the red carpet, there are some universal lessons from existing partnerships.
As with any commercial arrangement, the brand requires clear objectives and negotiating skills to stack the odds in its favour.
At the same time, the value of the deal is not just about the movie appearing in theatres, but all the other possible platforms.
Lastly, it's worth noting that even Bond has had his ups and downs at the box office. William Hill is offering odds of 5/6 on Skyfall being the highest-grossing film ever, but most Hollywood studios consider themselves lucky to have one hit in every 10 films.
It's a stark reminder that for any brand, getting into bed with movie-makers is a risky business.

Book Review/Giveaway: Little Jimmy Says, "Same Is Lame" Ends Apr 8th
Little Jimmy Says, "Same Is Lame" by Jimmy Vee
Little Jimmy is a small guy with a BIG mission… help people realize how special they really are. Why is everyone trying so hard to fit in when there is so much uniqueness to celebrate? Jump in and follow the miniature ringmaster through his circus-inspired world of weird, where normal is ordinary, and ordinary is boring. In these fun-filled pages you'll discover what makes you unique and why being different is actually cool. So hurry, hurry! Come one, come all! Step right up. Kids of all ages, shapes and sizes are welcome and special in Little Jimmy's wondrous and wacky world. Read this book and prepare to be amazed at what you see in the mirror the next time you take a look!
My Review: Little Jimmy is a five feet tall man. Little Jimmy Says, there is always an advantage of being tall. Tall people can hang pictures high up on the wall and some can dunk a basketball. But being short has its advantage too, like going under the limbo stick, wrestling and playing hide and go seek.
Whether you are made fun of wearing glasses, born small or big, having big or small nose, hair or no hair, having birthmarks or scars, doesn't make you a freak but unique.
The message in this book is very encouraging not only for children but for adults. Discover why being different is actually cool. Being different should make you feel proud. So no matter what, just remember that you are unique and that being different has its advantages. As Little Jimmy puts it "Same is Lame". The illustrations by Mike Motz are bright, bold and colorfully which helps tell the story.

Book Review/Giveaway: A Bird On My Hand. Ends Mar 23rd
About the Book: A child watches the chickadees by Grandma's cabin and sees those eating sunflower seeds from Grandma's hand. Will the chickadees back home ever learn to take the seeds from a human hand? Will the child ever have the patience to let them? A lovely story of enjoying the wild things, A Bird on My Hand has charming illustrations from a chickadee's point of view.
My Review: This is the story about a young boy who visited his gramma at her cabin. His gramma is known as the Chickadee lady because she calls out to the birds "Chickadee-dee" come to me. One by one, the birds fly out toward her to eat from her hand until all the sunflower seeds are gone.
His gramma tried to teach him how to hold out his hand steady while feeding the birds. "…. Make sure you don't pull away and scare my birds," she said. So he learnt how to feed the chickadees by hand. And when he returned home to the city, he filled the feeder with sunflower seeds and watched as the chickadees flew in and started eating the seeds. He was able to get the city chickadees eating right out of his hand, too.
This is a great educational book for children learning how to teach birds how to eat from your hand. The last few pages in the book gives information of which chickadees live near you, how to talk to them softly, how to hold your hand out flat.
How long chickadees live? How they survive sub-zero nights? How tiny their eggs are? This is a must for classroom teaching.
