The Carbon High girls basketball team will begin the post season this weekend by hosting a preliminary game against Canyon View High from Cedar City on Saturday at 7 p.m.. The preliminary game will determine whether the Dinos will compete in the state tournament which is to be held February 28 through March 2 in St. George.
It is expected that the Dinos will defeat the Falcons on Saturday and move on to the state tourney next week. The Dinos have finished the season with an 8-0 record in region eight competition and 18-2 record overall this season. The Falcons on the other hand completed the season with a 11-9 overall record. Simply by comparing numbers, it looks as if the Dinos have the upper hand, but for those who have watched the Dino team compete, their skills speak for themselves.
According to Dino head coach Bruce Bean, the Carbon girls have a good chance of defeating the Falcons and advancing to the state championships. "Canyon View is a young team that has only four seniors. They are not big in size, but they are quick. They don't seem to like to run the floor much, therefore we will play heavy defense against them. Although they have not had a huge season, they have been playing better lately and we are ready for them," explained Bean.
The head coach for the Falcons is Steve Hodson who has lead three separate Cedar City boys basketball teams to state championships. Despite this fact, the Dinos realize that by numbers alone, they are a better team than Canyon View.
"I don't expect Canyon View to score many points Saturday. Hopefully, our defense will see to that," explained Bean.
The winner of Saturdays game will meet the winner of the Bear River and Judge Memorial game which is also to be played this weekend. It is expected that Bear River will walk away victorious along with the Dinos. This match up will be quite even with Bear River finishing the season with a 18-3 record, quite similar to Carbon's season record.
"I suspect that Bear River will walk away with the win this weekend. This will be good competition for us in the state tournament," explained Bean.
The Dinos team this year has a good chance at finishing in the top three at the state championship, if not possibly even clinching the championship and bringing it back to Carbon High. The last time the Dinos captured this honor was in 1997, and supporters and team members alike agree, it is time for the trophy to return to Carbon County.

Well, this just might be an EXTREMELY WELCOME addition to my system.
Benchmark DAC2 HGC Digital-to-Analog Converter Sweepstakes
According to the company:
Benchmark has just raised the bar with the new DAC2 HGC, defining a new reference. With over 15 new features, the DAC2 HGC packs more processing power in the same DAC1 series form factor.
The DAC2 HGC is a reference-grade digital to analog converter, stereo system pre-amplifier, and headphone amplifier with infrared remote control. It supports D/A conversion of PCM sample rates up to 192 kHz, as well as direct DSD conversion. Other features include sample rate and word length display, UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation, asynchronous USB Audio 2.0, polarity switch, home theater bypass, bi-directional 12V trigger, additional analog and digital inputs and outputs, digital pass-through, and high-efficiency low-noise power supplies.
The DAC2 HGC builds upon Benchmark's highly successful DAC1 family. Every DAC1 subsystem has been redesigned and upgraded to achieve higher performance. The DAC2 HGC includes an updated version of Benchmark's highly effective UltraLock™ jitter-attenuation system. DSP processing is 32-bits, DSP headroom is 3.5 dB, sample rate is 211 kHz, and jitter-induced distortion and noise is at least 140 dB below the level of the music - well below the threshold of hearing. Benchmark's UltraLock2™ system eliminates all audible jitter artifacts.

Published: 22 June 2011
The Managing Director of Belfast International Airport, John Doran, has made a direct appeal to MPs on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee to do all they can to end the unfairness of Air Passenger Duty.
Mr Doran, who was giving evidence to the Committee at Stormont, said APD was a regressive tax that placed Northern Ireland at a serious disadvantage to the Republic of Ireland.
He said that of immediate concern was the future of the successful Continental Belfast-Newark route where the airline was bearing the burden of APD at the rate of £60 and £120 per economy and business passenger respectively.
Mr Doran told MPs: "APD is bad for airlines, bad for passengers and tourism and bad for NI plc.
"It threatens what is already there and makes the job of attracting new carriers enormously difficult. And without new routes and new services, we will not be able to properly and adequately exploit tourism. "Direct access into and out of Northern Ireland unlocks all the potential in both the tourism and aviation sectors. The equivalent of APD in the Republic of Ireland is being withdrawn which means that the gulf will widen even further if nothing is done about it.
"APD also has an impact on attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Several US companies located here have said that the Belfast-New York service was pivotal when it came to deciding to invest here. If we lose our one and only direct trans-Atlantic link because of APD, serious damage will have been done to the drive to attract lucrative, mobile investment.
"We can fix this problem. We can remove the disadvantage and unfairness and I would appeal to you today to make the strongest possible representations to Treasury to see that Ministers take the appropriate action.
"Ideally, we'd like to see APD as a tax raising power devolved to the Assembly, but in the meantime, steps have got to be taken to create a level playing pitch with the Republic of Ireland".

Nov 14th 2008 Playing WAVE multichannel audio from a browser
Most programs can create multichannel WAVE audio files, but they fail in creating in such a way that they are actually playable in multichannel. I used Mathematica, Audacity, Matlab, Amadeus Pro, and Ardour, to create the sounds and they sound good when I played them from within the application, but when I exported it and played with Quicktime, all the channels were collapsed in only two. Audacity is especially deceiving because you can change the parameters in the preference panel to let you record multichannel files, and when you export, it actually asks you for the mapping of tracks and channels, however, when you listen to it using quicktime, it doesn't work.
These programs are saving the file with WAVE PCM format instead of WAVE Extensible format. See the differences here:
My Solution:
Generate your files with 6 channels in Audacity (btw, I don't know if it will work with more channels) and keep in mind the standard distribution of the channels:
1. Front Left – FL
2. Front Right – FR
3. Front Center – FC
4. Low Frequency – LF
5. Back Left – BL
6. Back Right – BR
use mctools to convert them to WAVE Extensible format:
This toolkit works in Windoze and Mac, it comes with an utility called copysfx that does exaclty that:
your_prompt$ ./copysfx -t4 inputFile outputFile
(type only the name of the command for help instructions)
I found useful this tcsh script for batch processing:
foreach f (`ls /the_full_path_directory_where_you_have_your_files/*.wav`)
./copysfx -t4 $f $f.wav
Save it as toWAV-EX.tcsh, give it execution permission (chmod -744 toWAV-EX.tcsh) and execute from the mctools directory with tcsh toWAV-EX.tcsh
Your converted files are going to be in the same directory of the originals, and have double 'wav' extension. Change the name as you wish.
Voila! Now you can play it from Quicktime and therefore from the browser (I worked with Safari and Firefox). Also, be sure your card is multichannel!!! and for me it worked using JackOS to route the audio, I don't know if you can achieve similar results without it.
that's it.

Atlantis Adventure: What We Thought of the Atlantis Kids Club
AKA's youngest club-goers (all lil ones must be potty trained), will love the Imagination Station's fully-stocked grocery store and life-sized Victorian dollhouse. Its Wizardology reading room is filled with adorable pods for kids to cozy up with a favorite book, while a talking tree "reads" books aloud. There is also a performance room with a dress up area (complete with photographers that snap pictures to show off to mom and dad later) and interactive projected floor games (dodge ball, fish catching, soccer goalie, etc.) and an arts and crafts room where tots can complete both digital and live projects.
It might be hard trying to pry your older child's hands off of all of the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers that line the Game Room. Mac stations fill the Computer Room allowing kids to safely browse the web and compete in online games against other club-goers. And the Arts and Crafts Room is filled with projects specifically designed for the more mature crowd.
To see where the club could use some improvements and how much it will cost you,
The state-of-the-art AKA seemingly has enough activities to keep kids' hands (and minds) busy while parents enjoy a lil R&R of their own, but given the location of the club, I was disappointed to find that most of the activities were indoors. While there is an outdoor play space (complete with life-size versions of Scrabble and Candy Land, a ping pong table and a basketball hoop), it had to be sought out, which is pretty hard to do when you are surrounded by fancy technology.
The staff did tell me that lunch and snacks are often eaten outside, but given that most families visit the resort as an escape from cold-weather locales, I would love to see more activities that involve the kids exploring the aquariums, beach and dolphins that make Atlantis such a great destination.
In terms of pricing, the morning and afternoon sessions (3 and 4 hours each, respectively) cost $45 each, with lunch and dinner options available for an additional fee. There is also an hourly rate available. For families who want to enjoy the resort's outdoor activities together during the day, but are looking for some time for mom and dad to experience one of Atlantis' celebrity chef restaurants and the casino, the $60 evening session (from 6:30 – 10:30 p.m.) is the same price as the babysitting service, but a lot more fun than sitting in your room with a strange caretaker.

University Communications & Marketing is here for two purposes: to effectively market the University with the most outstanding projects imaginable and to make your life easier.
Everyone has a role at the University; yours may be to train employees, teach our students or manage one of the many amenities on campus. Ours is to help the University communicate with one voice--internally and externally.
Maybe you aren't sure what marketing pieces you need, but you want to spread awareness about your program, department or the University as a whole. We will work with you to define your audience, the appropriate messaging and methods for reaching that audience and help you establish goals to measure the effectiveness of your marketing campaign.
Whether it's online or print, TV or radio, billboards or even buses, we have experience spreading the word about Southeast and its programs in advertising.
Everyone is a designer, or at least everyone has an idea about design. Our designers have 60-plus years combined experience and the degrees and knowledge to back up that work. We would love to take that talent plus their understanding of how your project fits into the bigger picture at Southeast to help you communicate your message to your audience.
Do you have a story to tell? Do you have a faculty member with an incredible breadth of knowledge on a subject? Sharing our stories and our experts with media outlets is key to showcasing all the good work the University undertakes.
Sometimes the best way to market your program or department includes the use of photography, a web video or maybe a commercial. We have talented storytellers who can share your vision in a visual form. What our team does not do is provide event photography. With thousands of marketing pieces produced every year, the need for great photography and video is, well, great. So our team has to be focused on those projects that market Southeast instead of documenting events. If you have need for an event photographer, we can provide a list of freelance photographer suggestions or lend you a camera for the event.
We may not all get their humor or their references, but one thing is certain, our web team has both the know-how to help you communicate your message online and the technical expertise to make it work. In an increasingly digital world, they are key to marketing your messages.

To promote the upcoming Muv-Luv summer anime, which is dubbed Total Eclipse, Miyata's promotional art appeared along with a magazine interview with the anime's director. Online, people noticed that the art looked very similar to the work of others. It looked traced. It looked ripped off.
In Japan, numerous popular anime and game blogs pointed out the latest similarities. This isn't a first for Miyata as he's previously been accused of tracing. Morever, this isn't a first for the developer of the Muv-Luv games. Last fall, the company had to apologize in a live internet stream for tracing.
This time, it wasn't just an apology. Ixtl, the company working with the developer on the upcoming Muv-Luv anime, issued a statement, announcing that Sou Miyata will no longer have anything to do with the company.

Tyson Damron catches a ball during a legion game in Colorado.
The Helper American Legion team opened it's season as they traveled to Vernal. The team took on Uintah in a doubleheader. Helper won the first game 10 to zero and played very well. In the second game Uintah put up more of a fight, but Helper held on to win 10 to seven.
Coach Jeff Cisneros was pretty happy with the team's start.
"Overall our pitching and defense was great and we really hit the ball well for it being the first game of the year." he said. " All of our pitchers got at least two innings and everyone got a chance to play and contribute"
Hayden Basinger got the win on the mound in the first game. Helper scored a pair in the first, three in the third, three more in the fourth. They finished it off with a pair in the fifth inning.
Beau Rich and Kash Jewkes each had three hits in the first game. Hayden Basinger, Daniel Peczuh, Kenny Seals and Chris Coleman all had two hits.
In the second game, Helper played another solid game. They let Uintah come back in the last few innings and tied things up. This game went nine innings, but it was Helper who came out on top by three.
"Again our pitching was good and our defense was pretty solid. We did not hit as well as we did in the first game but some of our younger players got some valuable time and it will pay off as the season goes along," commented Cisnoeros.
Colter Moore picked up the win on the mound this game. Colter is from Fremont High School and will be attending Emery High next year.
"Colter is a player that will really help us out is some different areas this summer." explained Cisneros about the new face on the team.
Wrapping it up, Cisneros said, "Overall I was very pleased with our effort against a good Uintah team. Uintah will once again be playing as a independent legion team this summer and should have a good chance to make the state legion tournament. We have the Alumni game on the sixth and we open up our league play at home Monday night the eighth at 7 p.m. against Taylorsville."

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Men's Basketball team used hot shooting in the second half to pull away from Illinois College 79-61 on Saturday in Flood Arena and move into a four-way tie for first in the Midwest Conference.
An 8-2 run by the Blueboys from the 11:17 mark to 6:54 gave them a 20-14 lead. But Beloit responded with a 17-7 run to close out the half and take a 31-27 into the lockerroom.
The Buccaneers came out of halftime with a 13-3 run to move up 44-30 five minutes in and IC never got closer than eight the rest of the way. The largest lead was 20 points at 79-59 with 13 seconds left on Marcus Ford's long three-pointer.
Beloit shot 58.2% for the game, 65.5% (19-29) in the second half.
James Lazarcik finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds, 16 points and ten boards in the second half, while Grant Henricksen and Ahmad Shamsid-Deen added ten points each. Chris Bremner, Tyler Butke and Steve Dowden all had nine points.
The Bucs only have one day before they're back on the court, hosting Wisconsin Lutheran College on Monday night in The Flood in their final non-conference game of the season. Tipoff is at 7:00 p.m.

Former Indian River star running back Curtis Dukes has left the Penn State football team, coach Bill OBrien announced at a press conference earlier this week.
Indian River coach Cory Marsell, who coached Dukes when he was the Times Athlete of the Year in 2008, said that he has not spoken with Dukes since the decision was announced.
Marsell did say that it was brought up as a possibility in a conversation with Dukes before Christmas break, and said that Dukes was waiting on his final semester grades to determine whether he could potentially leave the university with a degree.
Dukes would be a redshirt senior should he seek to continue his collegiate career at another program. Due to Penn States NCAA sanctions, he would be able to transfer without sitting out the usual one-year waiting period.
Marsell said Dukes was also considering seeking out potential interest from NFL teams. Those were his two options, as far as I know, Marsell said.
Dukes was the leading returning rusher for the Nittany Lions entering the 2012 season, but rushed for just 98 yards and didnt receive a carry after the Sept. 29 game against Illinois.
Dukes told the Times in October that he was unhappy with his decreased playing time and unsure of his future after the season.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- As workers strike and the Hostess corporation closes, more than 18 thousand jobs are in jeopardy nationwide. In Biddeford alone, 370 jobs are called into question.
As the city braces for the economic impact of the national liquidation, city and state politicians are planning to mobilize the state's rapid response team.
"I'm confident that the Governor and the administration will see the need and work together," said Senator Barry Hobbins, as he visited with workers on the picket lines Friday morning.
"This is about people, not politics," he said.
And it's also about assetts -- as local officials see the state of the Hostess facility as the silver lining to the situation.
"That's why we're hoping with city and state efforts as this unfolds, we can atleast hold this up as a jewel among bakeries, and use that to attract other investors," said Biddeford Mayor Alan Casavant.
He said the plant is just 13 years old, and is one of the most modern and efficient Hostess plants in the country.

This is in response to an article by Richard Shaw titled "Parents protest change in teacher move at Castle Heights" (Sun Advocate Sept. 9, 2008).
First of all, this article seemed very one sided and seemed only to reflect the concerns and opinions of the parents of Castle Heights Elementary students. It appears that only one person was interviewed other than local radio personality Keith Mason and his wife, and that person was only concerned about the long term affect or removing his child from a teacher he'd only known for three weeks.
Keith Mason on the other hand, seemed to make it a case of Castle Heights vs. Wellington Elementary problem. He is quoted as saying, "Many feel that Castle Heights is being penalized." He is also quoted as saying, "To ask Castle Heights kids to sacrifice when Wellington is the school with the problem seems inappropriate. Castle Height is paying the price for Wellington."
Well, that entire quote seems inappropriate to me and does nothing to fix the problem at hand and only causes to divide the communities.
There was no interview with any of the parents or staff from Wellington Elementary or any mention of the continued overcrowding in the other grades in that school. There was no mention in the article that the first grade at Wellington lost a first grade class last year and the students were divided between the remaining two classes. There was no mention that the 4th grade classes at Wellington currently has over 30 students in each class. And, there was no mention in the article about the children that are bussed daily from Price to Wellington Elementary. The article however, did mention that a number of students attending Castle Heights Elementary are from Wellington.
Why is this issue being turned into Castle Heights vs. Wellington Elementary when it is all one school district? If anything, it should be parents vs. school district.
All parents from all schools in the district need to band together and force the school district to address the problem face on and fix it. Continuing to turn a blind eye to the ongoing problem will only make it worse. Eventually the problem will get even more out of control and affect all the schools in the area not just one or two.
Don't make this into a school vs. school problem. That only divides us and does nothing to fix the problem.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Derek believes in medicine as social justice. Growing up gay in rural Minnesota provided him important, poignant perspective into the struggles of stigmatized populations. Derek struggled with his sexuality in school, in church, at home, and even in his doctor's office. The community in which he was raised believed that homosexuality was deeply wrong and could be "cured." Lessons learned from coming out during that time provided Derek with great insight into the multiple, varied issues with which many minorities grapple. During college, Derek co-chaired the GLBTA student group, helped establish a GSA at a local high school, and actively fought to remove a Reparative Therapy movement starting on campus. After an internship at District 202, an LGBT youth center in Minneapolis, Derek started his career in HIV at the Minnesota AIDS Project. Two years later, he took a position at the Red Door Clinic, Minnesota's largest HIV/STD clinic, where he provided HIV testing and counseling services. At the clinic, he developed unique online outreach programming, ran a syphilis elimination project called "StopSyphilisNOW" and facilitated several inpatient and outpatient support groups for gay and bi men living with HIV and struggling with addiction. His work has given him insight into how stigma, mental health, and minority stress contribute to the unique health disparities experienced by LGBT people. The powerful role a physician can play inspires Derek to become a doctor - not only an exemplary diagnostician but a compassionate healer for those marginalized by their sexuality or gender. He plans on using his education at University of Washington Medical School to found a public health clinic offering culturally-specific medical and mental health care for the LGBT community.
Point offers mentorship, leadership development and community service training to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) students.

UK researchers develop technology to produce biodiesel using bacteria
April 25, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
Researchers from the University of Exeter,UK, have developed a method to produce biodiesel from E. coli bacteria, the university announced. The technology, which is still being trialed, produces biodiesel that is almost identical to conventional biofuel, the university says. The E. coli bacteria naturally turn sugars into fat, to build their cell membranes. Synthetic fuel oil molecules can be created by harnessing this natural oil production process. "Replacing conventional diesel with a carbon neutral biofuel in commercial volumes would be a tremendous...

Rustic Potato Bread
After college I spent a brief stint making lattes at an upscale grocery store in Seattle. I worked early, early mornings with a few fun gals and one very crazy guy, learned all of my regulars' drink orders and got to taste bread from all of the best bakeries in town. It wasn't a terrible way to spend my transition from college to real life but after about six months I had my fill and was on to bigger and better things, namely moving to New York. Now there's no shortage of delicious bread in NYC, but when I am missing home and needing a little comfort I whip out my Macrina Bakery cookbook and make my favorite bread from my latte days.
Rustic Potato Bread
adapted from the Macrina Bakery & Cafe Cookbook
yield one (seriously) large loaf
1 1/4lbs russet potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
1/2c potato liquid (reserved from Step 1)
1T kosher salt
1 1/2t yeast
2T olive oil
3C flour (plus 1 cup for kneading)
1. Clean the potatoes thoroughly and cut into chunks. Put the potatoes, along with 1t of the salt in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cook the potatoes for about 10 min or until they are fork tender. Drain the potatoes and reserve 1/2 of the liquid. Let the potatoes and liquid cool for about 20 min.
2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm potato water and let stand 5 min.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, mix the cooled potatoes for about 1 min. Add the olive oil and mix for a minute more, then add the potato water and yeast mixture and mix until completely combined.
4. Switch to the dough hook attachment and add the 3C of flour and the remaining 2t salt. Mix on low to incorporate the flour, then increase the speed to medium and knead for 11 min OR if you are like me and are afraid that bread dough will kill your kitchen aid, knead by hand for 10-15 min. The dough will start out very dry and shaggy, but will become soft and sticky as you knead. I usually end up adding 1/2-3/4c more flour to the mixture as I am kneading. You want the finished dough to be smooth and tacky, but not sticky.
5. When the kneading is finished, form the dough into a ball and place into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a clean cloth. Set the dough in a warm spot to rise for about 45 min or until the dough is almost doubled in size.
6. Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently flatten and form it into a rectangle about 10'' wide with your hands. Then, roll the dough into a tight log, leaving about 1'' of dough on the end. Use your fingers to flatten this bit of dough and dust it with flour. This will create a decorative top and allow the steam to escape from the loaf while baking. Wrap the loaf, seam side down in a floured kitchen towel and let it proof for 45min. This recipe makes a HUGE loaf of bread, so you might want to split it and make two smaller ones.
7. While the dough is proofing, preheat your oven to 400º and fill a cup with 1/2c water. Carefully unwrap the loaf and place it, seam side up, on a baking sheet. Slide the baking sheet into the hot oven, then toss the water into the bottom of the oven and quickly shut the door. The burst of steam created will give the finished loaf a nice crispy crust. Bake the loaf for about 45min or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Let cool before slicing.
Don't be tempted to peel the potatoes! The skins give the bread really great flavor and texture. Before I got the Macrina cookbook I thought the little flecks in the bread were some variety of delicious herb that I just couldn't place. That said, if you wanted to fancy this recipe up with a bit of thyme or rosemary it would probably be pretty tasty.
I've never tried, but I think this recipe would make a pretty outstanding sandwich loaf (or two) so try it out and let me know how it goes.

That paragraph makes me wistful for my youth. Also for potato loaf.ReplyDelete
Oh yay! It's potato week at La Domestique and I love potato bread. I'm big into baking in a loaf pan for sandwich bread, so I will give this a try in my loaf pans. Leaving the skins on the potatoes sounds like a great idea.ReplyDelete
Jess - Potato fate! I hope the loaves are as good as I imagine! p.s. I love your theme week concept, great idea.ReplyDelete
I am so happy to hear about the whole skin potatoes going into this bread. I have a hard time getting rid of that tasty skin! Your post is perfectly timed, I was just given a recipe for my great grandmother's potato bread that no one in the family has been able to replicate. It's nice to know if the recipe falls through that I have backup!ReplyDelete
This looks really great! Yum!ReplyDelete
I fell in love!ReplyDelete
I'm making this right now. Can't wait to get to the part where I throw water into the oven. So exciting!ReplyDelete
Did you read my mind? Because I want to make bread. Never thought of potato bread though. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
I'm making this right now! It's been on my list since Spring when I discovered your blog. It's perfect comfort food with this weather we're having.ReplyDelete
What sort of yeast are you using in this recipe? I typically use fresh cake yeast, so I want to figure out the conversion!ReplyDelete

birthday gifts for husbands, happy birthday honey, Highlander, husbands, love, lover, new car, perfect gifts, pole dancing, power tools, presents
You know how you get those souvenirs that say "My friends went to Jamaica and all they got me was this stupid T-Shirt"? Well, it's Honey's birthday and four days ago he bought me a brand new car. Yeah ha! Exactly!! I had been thinking of the perfect birthday present for him, but thinking takes me such a loooong time and now I'm screwed. Now, the day is upon me and all I've got is this crummy post which I previously thought (again with the thinking) was perfect until I measured it against my shiny new SUV.
Highlander: Front and rear controlled air-conditioning vents.
My posts: Sometimes so full of hot air they could steam clean your carpet.
Highlander: 4 disc changer with MP3/WMA playback and auxiliary audio jacks.
My posts: Random WTF? moments embedded haphazardly. Does the sound of finger tapping as my point laboriously gets made count as music? I say yes!
Highlander: Driver, front passenger, rear, side, knee and freaking everywhere facing airbags. It's airbags galore PLUS a rear sensor so I don't accidentally hit a small building while backing out with this ginormous vehicle.
My posts: No reader safety. No padding for the content that can only be described as head on collisions in words. The only warning on my posts should say "Don't hurt yourself reading, but if you do it's your own damn fault."
There it is, FAIL. I'm a lousy gift giver and I blame it all on my husband's unrealistically high standards. BUT! Because no one has yet to invent a power tool with a 100 watt subwoofer that can barbecue a perfect rib and hook a pole like a pro in fishnet stockings, I offer this heartfelt, albeit meager post as a gesture of love.
If you would be so inclined, please help me celebrate my awesome husband by leaving a comment, +1-ing this post, Digging it, Pinning it or liking it. I'm sure he'd love it just as much as he loves me.
I leave you with this impossibly crazy, hopelessly stereotypical, outlandishly bold idea that may or may not save you from giving your husband the wrong gift on his birthday.
Happiest of birthdays to you, Honey. Thank you for being blind to my flaws, which are too numerous to count. Thank you for being MY best present every day of YOUR life. I heart you, dude! (and not just because you bought me a new car) ~ Bon
P.S. You're totally getting lucky tonight.

Kendall Scott is the co-author of "Kicking Cancer in the Kitchen", which can be found in local bookstores and libraries.
A printable version of Kendall's recipe for Banana-Pecan Pancakes with Chocolate-Coconut Drizzle can be found in the 207 Kitchen page of our website.
Banana-Pecan Pancakes With Chocolate-Coconut Drizzle
Brain boosting/ comfort food/ fatigue fighting and adrenal support/ mouth sore friendly/ vegetarian
While making pancakes on a busy weekday may not work well, spending a lazy weekend morning cooking and enjoying this delicious breakfast is well worth it. Using whole-grain flour, such as spelt flour, make these less processed and more nutritious, so you will feel sustained longer. The chocolate-coconut drizzle is made from coconut oil and raw cacao powder. The coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, which are known to improve metabolism and thyroid function, promote weight loss and boost energy.
Yield: makes fifteen 3-inch pancakes
11/2 cups spelt flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup real maple syrup
1 egg
2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil, melted
1 medium banana, finely diced
1/3 cup pecans, finely chopped
Fresh berries (optional)
Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Mix the water, maple syrup, egg and oil together in a small bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet. Stir until blended without over-stirring; mixture will be lumpy. Fold in the pecans and banana.
Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Drop the batter onto the griddle by large spoonfuls, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are nearly dry. Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve topped with the chocolate-coconut drizzle and fresh berries, if desired.
Chocolate-Coconut Drizzle
1/2 cup real maple syrup
1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
Whisk together the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Then whisk in the raw cacao powder. Drizzle over pancakes.
Annette's Tasty Tip: To save time, the dry ingredients in this recipe can be mixed in advanced and stored in the fridge.

Purchase Reason
This print is gorgeous. The gold embellishments make it even more so. It is absolutely amazing, and its size is perfect. It's a show-stopper; the focal point of my new living room. I bought this print as a housewarming gift to myself for my first solo apartment, and I am not disappointed. I managed to get it framed rather inexpensively (tip: don't mat it - a border just detracts from it) and it is definitely something I will keep with me for a long time. It's simply stunning. I couldn't be happier.
Purchase Reason
I was so excited to find this site. The prices for framed and matted artwork are wonderful! I love having so many different artists work available along with many sizes to choose from. I just received my second beautiful creation and am ready to order again !
This is the first time I've purchased a framed picture sight unseen. The frame I chose was perfect for this picture and it looks awesome in its location. What doesn't work about the picture is the glass. The glass is too shiny and I glaring and I am going to have to spend more money to replace it. I highly recommend the non-reflective glass.
Purchase Reason
This fits our bathroom decor perfectly. It's rich colors and splashes of gold brighten up the area beautifully.

It's the time of the year again for wholesome, family-friendly movies to be recognized for their value — in an industry that seems to favor depravity. On Friday, February 15, the 21st Annual Movieguide Awards were held to celebrate films that uphold the American values of patriotism and faith.
The Movieguide Faith and Values Awards are sponsored by the Christian Film & Television Commission and Movieguide, founded by Dr. Ted Baehr. This year's glittering event, also dubbed the "Christian Oscars," attracted a number of major celebrities, Hollywood executives, producers, writers, and directors. The event was hosted by Criminal Minds television star Joe Mantegna and daughter Gia Mantegna. Award presenters for the evening included Disney Channel stars Debby Ryan and Bella Thorne.
A number of worthy films were honored at the awards gala for their wholesome, Christian nature. Ice Age: Continental Drift earned a Crystal Teddy Bear Award for the Best Family Movie of the Year, edging out a number of other worthy contenders including The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Here Comes the Boom, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Ice Age: Continental Drift espouses important Christian themes, such as the importance of family and of sacrifice.
The Grace Award honors those actors whose performances "exemplify God's grace and mercy toward us as human beings." This year's recipient of the Grace Award is Andy Garcia for his performance in For Greater Glory, a film about the Mexican Cristero War. In the inspiring film, Garcia plays Enrique Gorostieta, an atheist and decorated general who accepts an offer to lead the National League for the Defense of Religious Liberty in the war. Though Gorostieta does not share the spiritual passion of those around him, he believes in the basic right of freedom and fights for it. For Greater Glory breaks from the typical Hollywood mold by portraying Christianity as heroic.

GOOP vs Chloe
Robin Marchant/ Getty
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chloe Sevigny -- don't these two seem like the most natural enemies since cats and dogs? Since Kelly and Brenda? Since Mariah and all other performers? They're both so pretentious but in slightly different ways, I can't believe these two haven't clashed before, but now it's happening and it's perfect. Full Story
Chloe Sevigny's New York
It's so exciting to be at the very start of a new year, full of possibility, opportunity, fresh starts, etc. Still …isn't it comforting to know that, while time may pass, Chloe Sevigny remains unchanged? That she'll continue to prowl the streets of New York dressed like a human slipper/sock? That she'll still appear completely miserable as she skulks out of luxury boutiques in Soho, even while draped in the pelts of the cast of Monsters, Inc. Full Story
14 in Hollywood
Chloe Moretz was born in 1997. 1997!!!! I had, like, a real JOB in 1997! Anyway, Chloe is 14. She showed up at the Saturn Awards this weekend in Burbank, CA and posed with a LOT of Try for someone her age. If you're a dude, and this is what's out there, how can you be sure that's legal? Also 14 and also posing, maybe with a little less Try, but Try-full all the same since this is a major fashion campaign for Miu Miu and you can't tell me that "natural" things happen on a photo shoot, please, is Hailee Steinfeld in her first ad for the brand. Full Story
Son in the audience
Yesterday at McMaster University, convocation for Humanities studies, class of 2011, a woman walks up to receive her diploma. From the audience, a loud shout: LOVE YOU MOM! YOU'RE THE BEST MOM EVER! It was Ryan Gosling. He was there for his mother. Here's Ryan with his ma and sister in 2007 at the Oscars when he was nominated for Best Actor for his work in Half Nelson. Full Story
Someone's face got fuller
I almost didn't recognise Hayden Christensen, here with Tilda Swinton and Chloe Sevigny in Berlin at the Hugo Boss show. Too much beer? Hayden's face normally has a few more angles. Dylan says it's democracy at work, that women aren't the only ones who lose their cheekbones at a certain age. Full Story
Chloe Sevigny got ripped!
Laura sent me this link today and it's become the best part of my day. She posited - is Cunnilingus the new Going Ugly? Sort of. Her words were more elegant. But the spirit is the same. Seems a lot of Oscar contenders this year have oral pleasure in common. Full Story
MET Best: Chloe Sevigny
The dress. For the person. It's exquisite. Yes she needs darker lipstick, but it's a very small detail in so much that was spectacularly right. And again bitches, we're not dressing YOU. We're dressing Chloe Sevigny at the Met Gala in Proenza Schouler with some cheeky Mormon hair, and a high collar, and green see through lace with an exposed bra, the most beautiful back, and weird chunky funk shoes. Full Story
Big Love Pant-Off
Ginnifer Goodwin and Chloe Sevigny attended The Met premiere of Armida at Lincoln Centre last night both in black pants. I wish Ginnifer's were a little longer. Who wins the Big Love Pant-Off? Goodwin, as noted yesterday, has signed on to work with Kate Hudson and Colin Farrell, among others, in the film adaptation of Something Borrowed. Full Story

Health Information Center
The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist and located below the ribs, one on each side of the spine, toward the middle of the back. Every minute, a person's kidneys filter about 3 ounces of blood, removing wastes and extra water. The wastes and extra water make up the 1 to 2 quarts of urine an adult produces each day. Children produce less urine each day; the amount produced depends on their age. The urine travels from the kidneys down two narrow tubes called the ureters. The urine is then stored in a balloonlike organ called the bladder. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra at the bottom of the bladder.
Male and female urinary tracts
In medicine, "imaging" is the general term for any technique used to provide pictures of bones and organs inside the body. Imaging techniques include conventional radiology, or x rays; ultrasound; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); computerized tomography (CT) scans; and radionuclide scans. Imaging helps the health care provider see the causes of medical problems.
Imaging can help the health care provider find the cause of
One symptom can have several possible causes. The health care provider can use imaging techniques to determine, for example, whether a urinary tract stone or an enlarged prostate is blocking urine flow. Imaging can help clarify kidney diseases, tumors, urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary retention, small bladder capacity, and urinary reflux—the backward flow of urine.
Before ordering imaging tests, the health care provider
These steps help the health care provider determine the possible causes of the urinary tract problems and what to look for in an imaging test.
The health care provider can use several different imaging techniques depending on factors such as the person's general medical history and urinary tract symptoms.
X-ray machines have been used to diagnose diseases for about 100 years. X rays of the urinary tract can help highlight a kidney stone or tumor that could be blocking the flow of urine and causing pain. For men, an x ray also shows the size and shape of the prostate—a walnut-shaped gland that surrounds the urethra at the neck of the bladder and supplies fluid that goes into semen. Conventional x rays do involve some exposure to ionizing radiation—radiation that is strong enough to damage some cells. Two common x-ray procedures include the injection of a special dye, called contrast medium, which shows the shape of the urinary tract.
Intravenous pyelogram (IVP). An IVP is an x ray of the urinary tract. Contrast medium is injected into a vein in the person's arm, travels through the body to the kidneys, and makes urine visible on the x ray. The contrast medium also shows any blockage in the urinary tract. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by an x-ray technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging; anesthesia is not needed. An IVP can help locate problems in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder that may be caused by urinary retention or reflux.
IVP image
Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). A VCUG is an x-ray image of the bladder and urethra taken while the bladder is full and during urination, also called voiding. As the person lies on the x-ray table, a health care provider inserts the tip of a thin, flexible tube called a catheter through the urethra into the bladder. The bladder is filled with contrast medium to make it clearly visible on the x-ray images. The x-rays are taken from various angles while the bladder is full of contrast medium. The catheter is then removed and x-ray images are taken during urination. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by an x-ray technician. The technician is supervised by a radiologist while the images are taken. The radiologist then interprets the images. Anesthesia is not needed, but sedation may be used for some people. A VCUG can reveal abnormalities of the inside of the urethra and bladder and is usually used for children to detect vesicoureteral reflux—the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder back into the upper urinary tract. A VCUG can also show whether the flow of urine is normal when the bladder empties, blockages from an enlarged prostate in men, and an abnormal bladder position in women.
Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. The transducer can be moved to different angles to make it possible to examine different organs. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. The images can be used to provide information that is valuable in diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases and conditions.
Abdominal ultrasound. In abdominal ultrasound, the health care provider applies a gel to the person's abdomen and moves a hand-held transducer over the skin. The gel allows the transducer to glide easily, and it improves the transmission of the signals.
The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. An abdominal ultrasound can create images of the entire urinary tract. The images can show damage or abnormalities in the urinary tract. Abdominal ultrasounds are also commonly used to take pictures of fetuses in the womb and of a woman's ovaries and uterus.
Transrectal ultrasound with prostate biopsy. Transrectal ultrasound is most often used to examine the prostate. In a transrectal ultrasound, the health care provider inserts a transducer slightly larger than a pen into the man's rectum next to the prostate. The ultrasound image shows the size of the prostate and any abnormal-looking areas, such as tumors. Transrectal ultrasound cannot be used to definitively diagnose prostate cancer.
To determine whether a tumor is cancerous, the health care provider performs a biopsy. For the biopsy, the health care provider uses the transducer and ultrasound images to guide a needle to the prostate. The needle is then used to remove a few pieces of prostate tissue for examination with a microscope. A transrectal ultrasound with prostate biopsy is usually performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient facility, or hospital by a doctor; light sedation and local anesthesia are used. The biopsied prostate tissue is examined in a laboratory by a pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases. The biopsy can reveal whether prostate cancer is present.
Transrectal ultrasound with prostate biopsy
Magnetic resonance imaging is a test that takes pictures of the body's internal organs and soft tissues without using x rays. MRI machines use radio waves and magnets to produce detailed pictures of the body's internal organs and soft tissues. An MRI may include the injection of contrast medium. With most MRI machines, the person lies on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device where the images are taken. The device may be open ended or closed at one end; some newer machines are designed to allow the person to lie in a more open space. During an MRI, the person is usually awake but must remain perfectly still while the images are being taken. A sequence of images taken from different angles may be needed to create a detailed picture of the urinary tract. During the sequencing, the person will hear loud, mechanical knocking and humming noises. The procedure is performed in an outpatient center or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed, though light sedation may be used for people with a fear of confined spaces.
Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA). An MRA is a type of MRI that provides the most detailed view of kidney arteries—the blood vessels that supply blood to the kidneys. An MRA can show kidney artery stenosis, which is the narrowing of a kidney artery that restricts blood flow to the kidney. Kidney artery stenosis can cause high blood pressure and lead to reduced kidney function and eventually kidney failure.
Computerized tomography scans use a combination of x rays and computer technology to create three-dimensional (3-D) images. A CT scan may include the injection of contrast medium. CT scans require the person to lie on a table that slides into a tunnel-shaped device where the x rays are taken. The procedure is performed in an outpatient center or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. CT scans can show stones in the urinary tract, obstructions, infections, cysts, tumors, and traumatic injuries.
CT scan
A radionuclide scan is an imaging technique that relies on the detection of small amounts of radiation after injection of radioactive chemicals. Because the dose of the radioactive chemicals is small, the risk of causing damage to cells is low. Special cameras and computers are used to create images of the radioactive chemicals as they pass through the urinary tract. Radionuclide scans are performed at a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. Radioactive chemicals injected into the blood can provide information about kidney function. Radioactive chemicals can also be put into the fluids used to fill the bladder and urethra for x ray, MRI, and CT imaging.
Preparations for an imaging test mostly depend on the purpose and type of test. In general, the health care provider will want to know whether the person is allergic to any foods or medications, is pregnant, or has had any recent illnesses or medical conditions. Specific preparations could include any of the following:
People undergoing an imaging test should listen to the health care provider's instructions carefully and ask questions if something is not understood.
After most imaging tests, the person can immediately resume normal activity. Tests that involved placing a catheter in the urethra may produce some mild discomfort for a few hours after the procedure. Drinking an 8-ounce glass of water every half-hour for 2 hours may help reduce the discomfort. The health care provider may recommend taking a warm bath or holding a warm, damp washcloth over the urethral opening to relieve the discomfort. A transrectal ultrasound may produce some discomfort. A prostate biopsy may produce pain in the area of the rectum and the perineum, which is between the rectum and the scrotum. A prostate biopsy may also produce blood in the urine and semen.
For catheterization or biopsy, the health care provider may prescribe an antibiotic for 1 or 2 days to prevent an infection. People with signs of infection—including pain, chills, or fever—should call a health care provider immediately.
Some people have reactions to the contrast medium or the sedatives, though the risks are generally low. Signs of contrast medium reactions include hives, itching, nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. Contrast medium can cause kidney damage in people with certain conditions, such as impaired kidney function and diabetes. In most people, the kidney damage has no symptoms and goes away within a week or so. In rare cases, contrast medium causes lasting kidney damage. Signs of kidney damage include
Reactions to sedatives are rare but possible. Signs of sedative reactions include changes in breathing and heart rate. People with signs of reactions to the contrast medium or the sedatives should call a health care provider immediately.
The results of simple tests such as x rays and abdominal ultrasound can be discussed with the health care provider soon after the test. Results of other tests such as a prostate tissue biopsy, MRI, and CT scans may take several days to come back. The health care provider will talk with the patient about these results.
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) has many research programs aimed at understanding, diagnosing, and treating urinary tract problems, including urinary tract stones, enlarged prostate, urinary incontinence, and kidney failure. The NIDDK also sponsors studies to improve diagnostic imaging techniques and devices. For example, current state-of-the-art methods using MRI techniques with rapid image acquisition rates make possible high-resolution, 3-D images of the kidneys. Semiautomated image analysis can determine kidney size and the location of cystic structures. MRI may also permit simultaneous estimation of kidney function.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Esman Foundation to fund free seizure clinics
Monday, December 06, 2010
Publication: Esman Foundation to fund free seizure clinics
The Saul and Theresa Esman Foundation recently provided funding to help save our free West Palm Beach and Delray Beach free seizure clinics. Due to county funding cuts, the clinics - running for over 35 years - were at risk of closing. Thanks to their generousity, hundreds of people with epilepsy can continue their medical care. After losing her husband, Saul, after almost fifty years of marriage, Theresa Esman created the Foundation to fund a spectrum of work in diseases such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer and, now, epilepsy. Without the support of the Esman Foundation, the Epilepsy Foundation would have had to discontinue these vital clinics. We can not thank them enough for their vision and kindness.
In recognition of their generosity and support, the Palm Beach clinic program will now be named "The Saul & Theresa Esman Foundation Clinic for Epilepsy & Seizure Treatment".
