I have a contact form on my personal website.
When I receive emails from the contact form on my site... the Email From area shows my full hosting name.
Is there a way to change this with PHP?
Thank you,

$headers = 'From: ' . $_POST [ "from" ] . PHP_EOL ;

I guess $headers is the part that I am missing... not sure what the PHP_EOL is... ??? i'm new, forgive me

Read: Steven Fogarty Is A Goal Scorer
At The Hockey News, Ryan Kennedy lists 2011 third round pick Steven Fogarty as someone who is on The Hot List.
Fogarty says that he is a team player, but that his main role is to generate offense.
He also says that he plans to attend Notre Dame after this season because "If hockey doesn't work out, I have a degree to fall back on and Notre Dame is the perfect place for that."
[jbutton color="red" link="http://www.snyrangersblog.com/category/steven-fogarty/" size="xsmall"]CLICK HERE[/jbutton] for more on Fogarty.
It seems like it could be a while before we get to see Fogarty as he will play this season in the BCHL and then possibly the next four at Notre Dame. There is a nice buzz about him and Gordie Clark saw him a bunch of times, so he has seen the potential that he has. Again, the Rangers did well the last time they took a center from Minnesota out of High School.

Who will replace Takahashi and Feliciano?
The Mets didn't re-sign Hisanori Takashi, and yesterday Pedro Feliciano declined to accept salary arbitration as he seeks a multi-year contract.
I see Pat Misch being a useful part of the bullpen next season. He is actually more effective and pitches better against right-handed batters, not lefties. But, he could certainly slip in to the the role once filled by Feliciano and Takahashi, while also standing by for the occasional spot start.
Yesterday, the Mets re-signed 30-year-old LHP Mike O'Connor to a minor league contract with an invite to Spring Training. He was 5-2 with six saves and a 2.67 ERA while striking out 70 in 70 innings for Triple-A Buffalo last season, during which left-handed batters had a .289 OBP against him.
The bullpen needs helps, but I just don't see Sandy Alderson being the type of GM who will give a long-term deal to relief pitchers, which is probably why Takahashi and Feliciano are not likely to be back next season. Instead, I see him rotating the roster throughout the season and relying on guys like Misch, O'Conner, low-cost, journeymen free agents and minor leaguers.
There is also a lot of talk among fans and reporters about whether to use Oliver Perez as a left-handed specialist – assuming the team is unable to move him before Opening Day. I think this is a terrible idea.
"Perez sometimes drops his arm angle here and there," an NL talent evaluator told Andy Martino of the Daily News. "It might be interesting to have him drop down all the time against lefties."
That's fine. But, he is a total loose cannon on the mound. I mean, when the wheels come off, as they do VERY quickly, man, oh man, do they come off – and that is the last thing i want in a bullpen specialist, and especially with runners on base. Basically, for this to work, the bullpen coach will need a crystal ball.
By the way, I do think Perez will be in St. Lucie for Spring Training. I have yet to speak with anyone in the know who feels Alderson will cut Perez before Spring Training. I think he'll try to trade him, so to at least get something in return, but he will almost certainly struggle to find a match. At which point, it makes little economic sense to just release him, at least not before he throws a pitch in Florida. That said, if there is no role for him, and it becomes an uncomfortable situation for everyone involved, I do think Perez could be released before Opening Day.
For more reasons to be skeptical about Perez in the bullpen, check out Ted Berg's post on Ted Quarters.

First of all, I would like to thank Skeet for sitting down and showing me the ins and outs of mtp-target hosting. If you have not played mtp-target before, well, visit www.mtp-target.org for more info and downloads.
Simply put, mtp-target is a fun little game where you pilot your "pingoo" through the air and onto a variety of targets, something very similiar to ski-ball, except that other players can knock you off the target, which makes it a bit like bocce ball.
Part of the fun is that this game is a multiplayer game, and can be played against bots or humans, in local games or over the internet. I found that sometimes the two servers that are always available over the internet produced too much lag for me. Too much lag in this game is when you start getting pings over 200. Your Pingoo starts acting a bit irradically, and if you are serious about the game, it will get you pretty steamed.
So the panacea to this is to host your own game and invite others to play. I was able to play a few games with SkyNet by directly connecting to him, but I saw no way to open a server to the public.
And now, how to create a public server. First of all, I host this game from an xbox, so the specification of your equipment do not need to be very high (700MHz Celeron, 64 MB ram).
This HOWTO is generally platform independent.
Start by getting the mtp-target tarball(or .exe I guess > ) at: http://mtptarget.free.fr/download.php
Enter into the mtp-target folder, to the mtp-target/server directory.
Add a file named 'mtp_target_service.cfg' in this directory and add the following lines:Code:live@xebian:~/mtp-target/server$ ls MTS_0.log launch.sh mtp_target_service.log clients_count.stat log.log mtp_target_service_default.cfg connection.stat mtp_target_service replay data mtp_target_service.cfg
This file overrides mtp_target_service_default.cfg and also holds player stats for people who have played. You will need to change the number for ShardId to something unique. Mine happens to be 201, so if you were to try to start your server with yours at 201, you would receive a message from the master server about a bad ShardId.Code:RootConfigFilename = "mtp_target_service_default.cfg"; ListenAddr = "<INSERT YOUR IP HERE>"; ShardId = 201;
By default, port 51574/TCP is the port the server listens to, so make sure to have that open.
This alone will allow you to get a server started.
There are a variety of other things that you can edit in mtp_target_service_default.cfg that will help you to make your server unique, such as the welcome message, # of players, and levels played. Everything is well commented.
You that you have your server going, you go online, log in to mtp-target, and you see....Gah! Just an ugly IP address representing your server! If you have a static IP, you can find Skeet one way or another and ask him to name your server. If you do not have a static IP, DO NOT BOTH HIM ABOUT THIS. Once you IP changes, the name will be lost, and you will have wasted his time. This brings up another good point. If your IP does change, be sure to go back and edit your 'mtp_target_service.cfg' appropriately, otherwise, you will be very lonely .
That wraps it up, Have fun!

"I was in somebody's office and there was a magazine on a table and it just said, 'God Is Dead', and I suddenly thought about 9/11 and all these terrorist things and religion and how many people have died in the name of religion," Ozzy describes. "When you think about the tragedy that's happened throughout time, it just came in my head. You'd think by now that their God would have stopped people dying in the name of, so I just starting thinking that people must be thinking, 'Where is God? God is dead' and it just hit me."

Great tire for Illinois. Great in wet weather. Excellent in snow and mud. I can safely drive in 2 wheel drive in the winter with these. I also got 58000 on my last set and I never rotated them.

We just put these tires on yesterday and talked my wife into a little wheelin to try em out. First please ignore the snow and tread wear bars as I had to put something down.
There is no snow and we barely have 40 miles on them but this I can tell you.
We purchased the Destination MT after careful selection and tone of review reading. We have found, that besides looking terrific, its road characteristics are excellent even at highway speeds.
I have always run BFG TA/KO's because of how they wear and handle in most conditons, but what turned me off to the BFG's was that once they are half way down on tread, they suffer greatly in the mud and snow
The Destination makes you feel like you are riding on a cushion of confidence. I know that may sound weird but that is the only way I can explain it. There is so much tread that it separates you from the road but without sacrificing the intimacy you must have to off-road confidently.
We took it up some very steep grades on severely rutted and rocky roads up to Mt. Union Prescott, AZ. We never had to engage the front diff. We didn't even spin! I inspected and there were no missing lugs or tread damage of any kind.
I will write more after this monsoons around Aug during archery deer this year and tell you how they did in mud.
As far as I am concerned these tires rock and were worth the money

Creighton Men's Soccer Earns NCAA Tournament Bid
OMAHA, Neb. – The Creighton men's soccer team earned a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the 21st time in 22 seasons when pairings were announced on NCAA.com on Monday.
Creighton (9-8-2) will host Western Athletic Conference Champion Seattle (10-8-4) in a first-round match in the 48-team tournament on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. CT. The winner of Thursday's match will travel to No. 2 seed Washington on Sunday at 7 p.m. CT in Seattle.
Creighton, 7-1-1 at home this season, is 11-1-0 all-time in NCAA Tournament matches played at Morrison Stadium. The Jays were one of five BIG EAST squads to make the 2013 NCAA field joining No. 6 seed Georgetown, No. 9 seed Marquette, Providence and St. John's. CU owns a 2-4-2 record against fellow NCAA Tourney teams this season.
The Jays came into Selection Monday at No. 17 nationally in the latest RPI released by the NCAA on Nov. 11. The Bluejays' at-large selection is their first since 2010 after CU claimed Missouri Valley Conference Tournament titles resulting in automatic bids in each of its final two seasons in the league.
After competing in back-to-back NCAA College Cups, Creighton is now 28-17-6 overall in the NCAA Tournament all-time. The Bluejays have advanced to at least the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in six of their last 10 appearances. The Jays have made five total NCAA College Cup appearances (1996, 2000, 2002, 2011 and 2012).
Elmar Bolowich is the head coach of the Bluejays. He has guided his teams to five consecutive NCAA College Cup appearances (Creighton – 2012, 2011 and North Carolina - 2010, 2009, 2008) and won a national title with the Tar Heels in 2001. This will be Bolowich's 18th NCAA Tournament appearance as a head coach.
Creighton ended the season in Providence with a pair of 2-1 setbacks to the Friars in the regular-season finale and a BIG EAST Tournament quarterfinal match. All eight of CU's downfalls have been decided by a single goal this season.
The Jays, with a 4-6 record over their last 10 matches, played the sixth-toughest schedule in the nation as of a Nov. 17 NCAA report. Creighton compiled a 4-5-2 mark against Top 50 RPI teams this season and did not play a match against a single team with an RPI below 150.
CU ranks at No. 39 nationally with 31 goals this season. The Jays rank No. 40 in total assists with 29. As a result, the Jays stand at No. 41 in the country for total points heading into the tournament.
Seven Bluejays claimed a spot on All-BIG EAST Teams this fall following the regular season. CU senior Zach Barnes earned All-BIG EAST First Team Honors. Junior Jose Ribas along with sophomores Brendan Hines-Ike and Timo Pitter claimed All-BIG EAST Second Team accolades. CU senior Bruno Castro won All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention recognition. Creighton freshmen Fabian Herbers and Ricardo Perez secured spots on the BIG EAST All-Rookie Team.
Seattle (10-8-4) claimed an automatic NCAA tournament bid by winning the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Tournament championship game over San Jose State 2-1 on Sunday afternoon in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Redhawks also claimed the regular-season WAC crown with a 7-0-3 record. Seattle is one of two squads making their NCAA tournament debut this season; Quinnipiac is the other. Creighton has never faced Seattle in men's soccer competition. CU sophomore Brendan Hines-Ike's brother Ian is a midfielder for the Redhawks.
Should Creighton win its first-round contest, it would set up a second-round match with the No. 2 seed Washington (14-1-4) Huskies for the second consecutive season. Last year CU defeated UW 4-2 in a second-round match at Morrison Stadium after the Huskies defeated Air Force in a first-round contest. Washington claimed its first Pac-12 title since 2000 on Sunday.
Current UW head coach Jamie Clark coached one season at Creighton in 2010 before moving on to Seattle. Clark went 13-5-2 with the Jays and claimed the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title that year. CU is 6-2 all-time against Washington with a 2-1 record in Seattle. Creighton fell 3-0 at Washington in the schools' first NCAA meeting in 2006.

Authorities say Allison Flagg was taken to the hospital with burns, not considered life-threatening, after she attempted to extinguish a fire that destroyed a cabin Sunday afternoon.
HARRISON, Maine (AP) _ Authorities say a woman suffered second-degree burns to her face in a fire that destroyed a log cabin in Harrison.
The blaze was reported at about 2:30 p.m. Sunday and the home was totally engulfed by the time firefighters arrived.
Two people in the home at the time escaped, but Allison Flagg was taken to the hospital with burns that are not considered life-threatening.
Chief Dana LaPlante says the fire broke out in the kitchen and Flagg apparently tried to extinguish it before fleeing.
The blaze does not appear suspicious.
Crews from Harrison and six surrounding communities tackled the blaze.

By TERRY WILLISGuest contributor
Last week I was in Helper on a photo assignment. Photo assignment sounds so professional. Anyway there I was cruising around Helper at 10 in the morning looking for people doing whatever they do at that time of day.
I found a lot of what you would expect. There were many people dong a bit of yard work. Some were working at their own homes; others at places of employment.
What was missing as I drove all around the winding streets of Helper were the kids. I went by the schools, parks and playgrounds. I gazed into backyards as best as I could from my car. I looked at the paths leading up into the cliffs and bluffs that surround Helper. Not a child to be seen.
It seemed odd to me that at the coolest part of the day there were no children out to play. Not one child riding their bike. No sprinklers being run through. The swings and slides at the park seemed abandoned.
I know there are kids living in Helper. I have seen them at other times, but that day there was an unnatural lack of even one child out being a kid.
Where were they? I don't know. Ten o'clock seems a bit late for sleeping in. Maybe they were watching cartoons or playing video games. Maybe they are all off to day care because their parents have to work.
I have noticed the same phenomena in our neighborhood. I know we have kids because I see them gathered at bus stops during the school year. But during the day our neighborhood is as quiet as a mouse.
I have a hard time getting my grandkids to go out and play because there is nobody else around. Occasionally we see a few kids with bikes or scooters whiz by, mostly in the evening. But for the most part the kids are invisible.
I remember my mom sending us out of the house in the morning and we weren't to come back in until lunch or if we needed to use the bathroom. Then it was back out until supper.
We gathered in groups and played games in each other's backyards. Our yard hosted some of the most cut throat games of croquet you ever saw. When it was too hot to run around, the girls all played Barbies next to the boys having a war with their GI Joes.
We had bike races and pushed the limits with our home made skate boards constructed out of our metal roller skates. We made forts in the woods and rope swings that could send you crashing into the side of a huge cottonwood if you weren't careful.
We usually weren't.
Do we give our kids the same freedoms to play and explore as we used to? It doesn't seem like it. We have cocooned them with helmets, rules about stranger danger, and put them in camps. They stay home during the day so we can keep them safe. Backyards are all fenced in to define our spaces.
There will not ever again be summers like I had as a kid. In some ways that is good. We have learned a lot to keep our kids much safer now. But in many ways it is sad, too. We learned a lot about taking care of ourselves in those carefree days of summer. We learned to socialize, follow rules not imposed by our parents, and take care of each other.
The kids of today will learn these lessons too, but I'm not sure they will have as much fun doing it.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 67 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicknamerulesarecrazy Great bag but not great durability i've had this bag a little over a year and it really does fit under most airline seats. It's functional and it holds a lot. My one complaint is durability. The black piping was chipped up very quickly and one of the handles is already starting to pull out. I don't travel with it in rough conditions. I use it only for business trips and yet within a few months there were multiple nicks and gouges visible in the black piping which detracts greatly from the appearance. I'm now looking for a replacement that will be essentially the same but more durable April 4, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by DallasMary Field tested and not-so-good: dreams dashed I've been looking forward to having this bag for quite a while and thought it strange that opinions varied so widely. Must be a quality control issue at the plant, I thought. But it's really not well designed. I'm returning mine. The bag itself seems to be average to good quality construction. HOWEVER, all the wonderful pockets (except the water bottle) open inward and there is almost no give to the fabric. So -- a magazine or tall bottle or Kindle, for example -- do not fit very well in the pockets. And certainly not when you try to zip the bag closed as the outside front pockets curve AROUND the main compartment. So the available packing space is very small. It's hard for me to believe someone packed for a trip of several days and got everything in. The bag looks good and I really wanted it to work but it just doesn't. The tote bag is stiff, the handles are too short for me to pull the bag up against my body under my arm, and the very light wear of one day at a conference produced a tear in the side of the bag. May 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by IntermountainWest Perfect for both my moms I purchased this roll-a-board for my 80-something mother after a disastrous trip when her beloved carry-on that was not wheeled got the best of her. She continued to travel with it until she succumbed to cancer. After her passing we gave it to my husband's 80-something mother who loves it as much as my mom did. The primary reason for their delight in the bag is that they can manage it without a struggle. It really does hold quite a lot so it is a boon for all those necessities and a bit of clothing "trip insurance" if your checked baggage goes missing for a day or two. The tote has not bee all that popular since it can get pretty darned heavy. Additionally for our petite moms, the bag is so large it nearly drags the floor! Both our moms were/are regular travelers taking 3-4 trips a year including an international one here and there. The luggage has stood up well for 5 years with that schedule. It does show wear, particularly around the zippers so I don't think would do well long-term for a frequent traveler. It is modestly priced compared to a lot of luggage so replacing it every 100,000 miles or so might be an option. September 29, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by Zone1 Flimsy Zippers Breaking While I like the fact that this bag is small enough to carry my essentials, roll along, and fit under my seat, it has some issues with cheap zippers. After using my bag for maybe half a dozen times, the back of a zipper just broke off. When I examined the pieces, the back looks like a small piece of PLASTIC--major functional design flaw! Since it was a 2-zipper flap, I still had one that could be used to close it. One trip later, the zipper on the tote bag did the same thing! Lest you think that it was a stress issue from overstuffing the bags, let me say that these bags were NOT overfilled. This company needs to upgrade their zippers--they look sturdy on the outside, but when you look at the backside of the zipper, it's a piece of junk. I have another bag which is similar, but a bit larger and by another company which I have been using for dozens and dozens of trips and has held up fantastically. As much as I like the colors and pockets on this one, I will NOT be buying any more for myself or my family members. It would not be worth the price if it were half of what it is listed for, because of the zipper problem. I do believe that Travelsmith should be addressing this issue with the manufacturer, as many people won't bother to write a review and therefore we probably represent a much larger segment of customers. July 17, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Adriana Take Duct Tape With You A major zipper broke on the first day of a three week trip to Central Asia. I flapped around until I found some duct tape in Uzbekistan. The bag was replaced. A side zipper broke last week on another trip. The suitcase is now at the Luggage Repair shop having the zipper fixed for $27.00. When I return from my next trip I'll send the bag back for a refund. Too bad, because the size is perfect. You just can't trust the zippers and you can't pack the bag very full as pulling on the zippers breaks them. April 1, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ouili OK with reservations I have had this bag for over two years and use it quite often. I particularly like the large compartment that isn't subdivided by trying to tell me where to put what. I like that the bag does fit easily under the seat in front of me except maybe not on the aisle seat. The water bottle holder doesn't hold my stainless steel bottle which is a bit fatter than the usual plastic bottles. The zipper pulls came off immediately - quite an annoyance. I will be ordering the "Spinner" since I know that four wheels are better than two. I also consider the Spinner to be a better value with its included tote. November 29, 2010
Rated 3 out of 5 by DocD Doesn't fit under many/most airline seats! Great bag but being 14 inches wide will NOT properly fit under anyairline seats except for the middle one--i.e. n o aisle, no window. seats work! Also bag does not take advantage of the 18 1/2 inches deep space inder seat... Much btter wold be a 4 roller bag 13 inches wide, 18 to 181'2 inches long ("high") and no more than 9 1/2 inches thick July 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by DancingToast Pretty Good I've had this for three years. The rolling tote is great. I haven't had problems zipping it up and using the pockets at the same time, but I never pack the main compartment tightly. The pockets are great. They really help organize things. The telescoping handle works, but is a bit flimsy... it flexes from side to side. The shoulder tote is large but the straps are very uncomfortable when the tote is full. They cut into your shoulder if you have it on your shoulder, and they cut into your hand if you're holding it by hand. The strap for attachment to the rolling tote is thin and doesn't keep the shoulder tote in place. It'll swing off whenever you take a corner. Finally, one of the corner seams on the shoulder tote has started to come apart. I really don't like the shoulder tote. This product is a good value for the price. November 29, 2010

USA TODAY -- Police in a central Florida town say they are investigating an incident involving George Zimmerman after his estranged wife reported that he was threatening her and her father with a gun.
Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce last week.
CNN quotes police as saying that Zimmerman is in "investigative custody." Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell told the Associated Press that Shellie Zimmerman called police shortly after 2 p.m. on Monday. Bracknell says Zimmerman hasn't been arrested and officers are at the house trying to determine what happened.
Orlando TV station WKMG reports that Shellie Zimmerman's parents, David and Machelle Dean, live at the home.
WKMG's SKY 6 helicopter of the scene shows at least a half-dozen police squad cars outside the house.
In the divorce petition, Shellie Zimmerman says she and her husband separated a month after Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting black teenager Trayvon Martin last July. The verdict sparked protests across the nation.
Zimmerman has been pulled over at least twice for speeding since his acquittal.

This week we focused on gamification and mobile social gaming. So I thought I'd end the week by highlighting a couple of really fun Microsoft Tag implementations that brought a little game (both literally and figuratively) to their users. They are also both terrific examples of custom Tags.
A Real Plum of a Game Board
Red Plum has not only been using Tag to drive bargain hunters to its virtual initiatives, but it's also used some great custom Tags on the pages of its coupon circulars thanks in part to Track the Tag. Last month when the company went to the BlogHer event in San Diego, its booth had an awesome looking game board that used smaller Tags to create one giant Tag.
Attendees who went to Red Plum's booth could scan the Tags to opt-in for email coupons and newsletters. Red Plum also used branded landing pages for prizes that dynamically changed on the backend as prizes were won. Even with a booth location that was less than optimum, Red Plum was quite pleased with its capture rate.
Think Mobile, Act Local
To drum up business and build engagement among residents and visitors, local businesses in Forsyth County in Georgia have launched a "Discover Forsyth Scavenger Hunt" that will run all this month. "Hunters" earn points by scanning TagMe! posters that enter them into weekly prize drawings as well as the grand prize drawing for a Chromebook computer. The points increase users' odds of winning. They can also earn additional point incentives on the "Discover Forsyth Scavenger Hunt" Facebook and Twitter pages.
The Tag campaign came about because the small businesses did not want to do daily deals, but instead wanted to reward loyal customers. The Customer Loyalty program is being done in tandem with the scavenger hunt and is designed to complement the "hunter" experience. Users are given incentives to make purchases and unlock more rewards.
Both Red Plum and Forsyth County did a great job getting their gamification on. How would you use Tag to gamify a campaign? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

Thoughts: Drury for Marleau
Greg Wyshynski of Puck Daddy has a thought today (NOTE: NOT A RUMOR) that the Rangers and Sharks should swap captains for a variety of reasons.
Marleau, 30 next season, has one year left at $6.3 million before becoming a UFA. Drury, 33 next season, is signed through 2012 at a robust $7.05 million cap hit.
The deal would make financial sense for the Rangers, jettisoning a contact that — in hindsight — is regrettable, in exchange for a pending UFA. You don't like losing a character guy like Drury; but Marleau in a John Tortorella system could be a revelation, if the pressure of playing in New York doesn't crush his soul.
Drury is a player that Wilson's already pursued before as a general manager. He's captain material;
he's a different kind of offensive center than Marleau; and when he's healthy, he's been a dependable playoff performer.
Rotter: It's finals week here so I don't have much time to ruminate on this but this would be one interesting move to make. While I love the way Drury plays and the little things he does and his leadership are probably invaluable, the Rangers need scoring and Marleau could provide that. It is my thought that Chris Drury or Scott Gomez will be moved in some way, shape or form this summer. San Jose would be interesting for Drury too because rumors during the summer of 07 were that he wanted to sign with a west coast team and his leadership ability could be what San Jose needs to get over the hump.

Shopping for spring clothes has to be up there on my list of favorite things to do. The prints, colors and designs of warm weather clothes always seem to brighten my day. Especially when I am shopping for spring items for Princess P. One of my favorite children's clothing websites that I always turn to for fun and trendy designs is Tea Collection.
It is hard to believe that Tea Collection started out in 2002 with only three pima cotton sweaters. Today, they offer two full assortments, Tea Collection and Daily Tea. Each line is available in more than 400 stores and boutiques throughout the U.S. and abroad. The tagline for Tea Collection is "for little citizens of the world", which celebrates the beauty found in cultures around the world.
After browsing through the airy designs and festive prints that make up the girls Tea Collection spring line, I was thinking of ways to purchase Princess P a whole new wardrobe without C finding out. Luckily, Tea Collection saved me from getting into a bit of trouble when they agreed to send me an item to review.
One of the things that Princess P seems to always be in need of is pajamas. So I was elated when I opened package from Tea Collection to find the Tossed Butterfly Pajama Set in milk. This adorable short sleeve/shorts pajama set is made from luxurious pima cotton that is brushed inside for extra softness. The outside of the pajamas feature a fun print that Princess P loves and the cozy design allows her to sleep comfortably. The Tossed Butterfly pajama set from Tea Collection washed and dried beautifully without fading or losing its shape. These fun pajamas make getting ready for bed a little less of a hassle.

A dream to be a mother is an important one. But the dream to be a mother of a healthy baby is the best one. So you should have a look on some of the important baby health remedies in pregnancy.
Banana is very nutritious and easily affordable and available fruit. It is common in all seasons and is liked due to its numberless health benefits. High blood pressure scientifically called as hypertension is a very common health disease of the current era. Although, person with hypertension can lead a healthy life, if high blood pressure is managed and cured properly. To cure the high blood pressure the most important thing is the management of diet. Another important thing is to pick the one factor from so many factors which are causing high blood pressure.
Banana is very beautiful, delicious and precious food item. It is one of the fruits which keep the body healthy and has countless health benefits. Even calories in a banana makes a huge difference. During pregnancy a number of changes occur in the body of the mother and to overcome and to manage the whole period of pregnancy a barnacled and healthy diet is necessary. During the nine months of pregnancy the weight of the mother increases and the nutritional requirements of the mother also increase because the fetus also has to get the nutrition from the mother's diet. So to keep the pregnancy normal and to provide the enough nutrition to the fetus, it is essential to give a balanced die tot eh mother.
Good source of calcium
Banana is a good source of calcium, potassium and many other essential nutrients. Banana is a good source of calcium. Calcium is the basic requirement to make the fetus muscles and for bone development.
Folic acid
A banana is a good source of folic acid, which is the essential element for spinal cord and the nervous stem development of the fetus. It also protects from the premature birth and also lessens the complications of the birth.
Reduces the anemia and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are two very common complications of the pregnancy. In the first trimester of pregnancy the lady suffers from these complications. The iron and potassium content of the banana protect the lady from these and reduces the anemia and vomiting to a great extent. Although both these cannot be completely ended because these show the normal fetus development. After the first trimester these are ended by themselves.
Cures the constipation
During the nine months of pregnancy, constipation is a very common problem of the digestive system because the growing fetus and takes the more space in the mother's abdomen and the intestines of the mother suppressed under the fetus and the space and area of the stomach also lessen due to the growing body of the fetus. Under these conditions constipation is very common and the mother feels uncomfortable. The fiber content of the banana reduces the constipation and keeps the intestines soft and working.

Baby Bee SPF 30 Sunscreen Stick

Strengths: Inexpensive.
Weaknesses: Many products have potent fragranced formulas; several formulas packaged in jars, which compromises their ingredients.
With humble beginnings in the town of Bangor, Maine, Burt's Bees is a brand focused on natural-themed, earth-friendly skincare. Unfortunately, in many cases, this also translates to less than beneficial formulas as not all of the natural ingredients used are helpful for skin.
Many of the plant extracts and oils used in these products, including orange oil, cinnamon oil, clove oil, lemon oil, eucalyptus oil, pine tar, alcohol, lime oil, and balsam peru, are problematic for skin and present a significant risk of irritation or a sensitizing reaction. Both the intriguing philosophy and inexpensive products are attractive, but it takes more than that to establish reliable products that are good for skin. It's also important to consider the potential benefit (or potential harm) of the ingredients used.
There are some formulas to consider among the brand's offerings, but some to be wary of—see our individual reviews on Burt's Bees products for more details.

MONTREAL, QC–Five different North Country Falcons (Ross DeLaBruere, Ryan Paul, Chase LaCourse, Adam Viens, Quinn Nelson) suited up for the Black Ice Black midget select team a few weekends ago, and along with the rest of the team, went undefeated in tournament play, coming back across the border with the championship trophy and individual gold medals.

Lake Region standout Donna Lawson wrapped up her collegiate basketball career at Lyndon State College this season.
Donna started her college game at Keene State in New Hampshire, but found the setting in direct opposition to her basketball preferences.
"Keene was not a good fit," she said. "The coach and I did not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, plus I was a little home sick, so I transferred to Lyndon."
Upon arriving at Lyndon, her career took off.

AUGUSTA, ME–Corrina Cota, Taylor Morley and the rest of the U-16 Vermont Shamrocks will once again get a chance to compete for the Tier II National Title.
Cota and Morley, who were a part of a North Country team that competed for the D II title just days before, would play a big part in the Shamrock's success over this past weekend.
After falling a little short in their quest for the gold last season, the girls are taking an even better team to San Jose, California from April 2nd through the 7th for what they hope will be a better experience.
Ryan Hryckiewicz is finding success on the west coast, winning the first annual "Shoot The Moon" Event at the Mountain High Resort, just outside of Los Angeles, CA.
Ryan, and the second place winner, Will Mayo, hopped in Mayo's car and hit the road, just days before the event.
"Approximately 4 or 5 hours of planning ahead went into it," Hyrckiewicz said.
Upon their arrival, they visited with sponsors, competed in the event, and won.
Hryckiewicz, and his Switch Back Rodeo 9, walked away with the win and $2,000 cash for the Men's Open Snowboard Division.
Mayo finished second.
BURLINGTON – With the first girls hockey state tittle in both program's history on the line, the North Country Falcons and the Harwood Highlanders stood at their respective goal lines, ready to do battle for Division Two's ultimate prize.
A little over two hours later it was over.
A game filled with great saves, excellent scoring chances, hard hits and cagey coaching ended with Hayley Martini defeating Mikaella Doran 3:40 into overtime to give Harwood a 1-0 win and the program's first state title.
SOUTH BURLINGTON–The last time North Country and South Burlington met in the play-offs at the Cairns Arena, the game went into double overtime and the Falcons came away victorious.
This time around, the game went into triple overtime, and unfortunately for the maroon and blue, the Rebels were able to avenge their 2012 loss, winning 3-2 to advance to the Division I state championship game against CVU.
Said NCU coach Andrew Roy, "They gave everything they had, and I could not have possibly asked for more, and I am very proud of the performance they gave.
WHITE RIVER–Hartford got off to an 11-0 start in the first, and although Lake Region would battle back, making it 26-26 in third, the Hurricanes were just too strong, as they cruised to the 60-39 quarter-final win.
"They played tough defense, and as much as we tried to prepare the girls for it, we struggled early in the game before settling down," said LRU coach Mark Tinker. "Hopefully it is a good learning experience for the ones coming back, and an unfortunate ending for the ones that are graduating."
While both games ended with identical 3-2 scores, the fortunes of North Country's two hockey teams were as different as night and day.
The good news is that at least one team will make an appearance at the Gutterson Field House, as the girls won their semi-final game against Middlebury.
For the boys, they fell just short in their journey to the finals, losing a heartfelt game in triple overtime to South Burlington.
Updates to come online, and the full stories will be in Monday's Express on the 11th of March, 2013.
WHITE RIVER-The Lady Rangers lost to Hartford 60-39 in the Division II quarter-finals on Friday night.

|The 2 portions of the book seem to be almost identical but there are some differences. Some of this may be due to the use of different names and titles in the different languages for the same content. The same sections sometimes appear in a different order.

In the Yiddish TOC there are some things that don't seem to appear in the Hebrew TOC: Resurrection by MA Tenenblat, The Song from the Kigel by Lothringer, Elendman's Love Letters from the Ghetto, and Memories by Abraham Weber. The content of the Abraham Weber sections are probably the same though the titles are different.

|EWU Wins FCS Title
|Written by The Sports Network
|Saturday, 08 January 2011 09:59
Quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell threw three touchdown passes in the final 17 minutes as Eastern Washington rallied to beat Delaware 20-19 victory for its first FCS National Championship at Pizza Hut Park.Delaware (12-3) blew a 19-0 lead and had its final drive halted when wide receiver Mark Schenauer caught a nine-yard pass from quarterback Pat Devlin but stumbled to the EWU 30-yard line -- one yard shy of a fourth-down conversion. Among the disappointed fans was U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, a Delaware alum who sat five rows behind the Blue Hens bench.
Eastern Washington's winning drive came with controversy. Trailing 19-13 with just over 3 1/2 minutes left, the Eagles needed to go for a first down on 4th- and-1 from the Delaware 23. Freshman back Mario Brown bulled his way to the 22 and the officials signaled a first down with 3:29 left.
The Delaware sideline challenged the placement of the ball, so the game was stopped for its first video replay. Officials then moved the ball back six inches and re-measured whether the Eagles had a first down. The ball just made it, but Delaware coach K.C. Keeler argued that the first-down chains which had been moved prior to the challenge were improperly placed.
"That's disappointing," Keeler said. "We're in a championship ball game and we have a spot with three minutes left to go in the game that dictates who wins and loses. And usually I don't really complain about things like that, but that one hurt. It really did."

Eragon (Inheritance Cycle #01)by Christopher Paolini
Nominated for the American Library Association 2003 Best Books For Young Adults Award
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"In the first volume in Paolini's planned Inheritance trilogy, 15-year-old Eragon discovers an odd blue gemstone while exploring an infamous stretch of forest. It is a dragon egg, fated to hatch in his care. Eragon quickly develops a psychic connection with the female dragon that emerges, whom he names Saphira ('His emotions were completely open to her mind, and she understood him better than anyone else'). Eragon narrowly escapes doom with Saphira's help, but the uncle who raised him is killed, setting up a robust revenge/adventure tale. The scope quickly expands: Eragon turns out to be the first of a new generation of Riders, a lodge of legendary dragon-riding warriors killed by the evil King Galbatorix. As a result, he becomes the focal point in a war between Galbatorix's forces and the resistance efforts of the Varden. Paolini, who was 15 years old himself when he began this book, takes the near-archetypes of fantasy fiction and makes them fresh and enjoyable, chiefly through a crisp narrative and a likable hero. He carries a substantial Tolkien influence — fanciful spellings of geographical names, the use of landscape as character, as well as the scale and structure of the story itself. But his use of language dispenses with the floral, pastoral touch in favor of more direct prose. The likeness does not end there: the volume opens with a detailed map of Paolini's world, and ends with a glossary and pronunciation guide for his invented language. An auspicious beginning to both career and series." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"An authentic work of great talent." The New York Time Book Review
"An impressive start to a writing career that's sure to flourish." Booklist (Starred Review)
"[A] solid, sweeping epic fantasy..." Kirkus Reviews
"Paolini manages to combine his own characters with prototypical plot developments in relatively original ways, and makes up for all the scene-setting with a rousing battlefield payoff. That should be enough to satisfy the insatiable appetites of hardcore fantasy readers..." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"The empathetic characters and interesting plot twists will appeal to the legions of readers who have been captivated by the Lord of the Rings trilogy and are looking for more books like it." School Library Journal
"Paolini takes a little Tolkien, a little McCaffrey, a coming-of-age quest, and combines them with some wicked good storytelling....Fantasy buffs will find themselves immersed in a world of magic and sword fighting...eagerly awaiting Book Two." KLIATT
"Full praise to Eragon, and I want more! A winner...tip of the hat to young master Paolini." Anne McCaffrey, author of the Dragonriders of Pern series
"[A] vigorously written high fantasy epic....Legacies etched in stars and dreams guide his steps in this enchanting adventure. Eragon is highly recommended for dedicated fantasy enthusiasts." Midwest Book Review
"A promising new author finds his literary legs in this engaging story....Overwritten action sequences and occasionally forced dialogue do not detract too much from the interesting and entertaining tale." VOYA
"Christopher Paolini
"The magical journey of Eragon...should appeal to Lord of the Rings fans and Harry Potter readers. Like many fans of fantasy books, I can't wait until Paolini's next book comes out." San Antonio Express-News
This deluxe edition of Eragon includes an excerpt from Eldest, the next volume in the Inheritance trilogy; an exclusive foldout map of Alagaesia; never-before-seen art by the author depicting Zar'roc, Eragon's sword; and an expanded pronunciation guide to the Ancient and Dwarf languages.
Now in paperback!
Fifteen-year-old Eragon believes that he is merely a poor farm boy — until his destiny as a Dragon Rider is revealed. Gifted with only an ancient sword, a loyal dragon, and sage advice from an old storyteller, Eragon is soon swept into a dangerous tapestry of magic, glory, and power. Now his choices could save — or destroy — the Empire.
The exhilarating fourth installments in this thrilling epic for middle graders!
The kingdom of Lyssia remains ravaged by war. Drew, the rightful heir to the werelord throne, is locked in battle against Ratlords and Crowlords, when the unexpected return of the evil wereserpent, Vala, throws the war into an entirely new direction. As the battle lines change, so does Drews friend Hector, who embraces his powers of dark magistry and transforms into Drews most dangerous enemy yet. The Wolf and his allies have never been in graver peril.

Pendant, garnet (natural) and sterling silver, 41x6mm rectangle with 5mm faceted round. Sold individually.
All products (except FREE items) apply to your discount level.
More Details.
Item Number: H20-3511JE Have a question about this item?
Lovely to behold, precision-faceted garnet gemstones of exceptional clarity and rich color. Cast sterling silver packaged with anti-tarnish paper to maintain long-lasting shine.
The deep, glossy red color of garnet resembles the juicy seeds of a pomegranate, which is perhaps why its name is derived from the Latin word for pomegranate seeds, granatum. In Greek mythology, a pomegranate was often given as a gift of passion and associated with eternal love. In ancient history, travelers wore garnet gemstones because they were believed to light up the night and provide protection from nightmares and accidents.
Garnet is the official birthstone of January. The rich red stone mixes well with gold-colored metals and the soft pink colors of pink sea "opal glass," Peruvian pink opal and rose quartz gemstone beads.

Carbon County Commissioner Mike Milovich talks with Senator Bob Bennett during a reception that was held as part of the business conference on Thursday evening.
Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) encouraged hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs in Utah to stay positive about the economy as he kicked off his ninth annual Rural Business Conference in Price where the focus was on job creation and economic growth in the energy sector.
"Job creation comes from small businesses, not from Fortune 500 companies," said Bennett. "But it's those small businesses that grow that have the potential to become Fortune 500 companies. The government must do more for this sector of the economy and recognize that small businesses are the key to igniting our economy.
Nearly 520 small business men and women from 67 cities and 22 counties in Utah attended the conference at the Carbon County Event Center on Friday. More than 50 organizations and businesses were also on display during the business exposition, giving attendees the chance to network.
Steve Appleton, CEO of Micron Technology, was the keynote speaker and addressed the conference about tactics and values he believes will help make small businesses successful. He encouraged attendees to set realistic expectations, to build relationships, and to persevere. Micron is one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductors, and with Intel Corporation, jointly operates IM Flash Technologies in Lehi to manufacture memory used in various computer and communications devices. When he became CEO of Micron at age 34, Appleton was one of the youngest CEOs in the Fortune 500.
The conference included various workshop sessions on budget-friendly strategies for marketing and sales, building a home-based business, acquiring small business capital, community economic development, developing social media strategies and rural business growth.
Bennett also led a discussion on energy development alongside Kevin Book, managing director of ClearView Energy Partners. The two discussed the policy and economic impacts related to climate change and energy development in a local, national and global setting and took questions from the crowd.
At the opening session of the conference, Bennett was given the key to the city of Price by Mayor Joe Piccolo.
