Anterior vaginal wall repair (surgical treatment of urinary incontinence) - series
Normal anatomy
The vaginal opening lies just below the urethral opening, and just above the anal opening. The urethral opening, through which urine passes, leads to the bladder. The anus leads to the rectum. The vaginal opening leads to the vaginal canal, which leads to the uterus.
This procedure is used to repair the vaginal wall herniation that occurs with urethrocele, cystocele, or rectocele. This is occasionally performed to treat stress incontinence in women by supporting the bladder and urethra in its proper position, so it can function properly. As with most other surgical procedures, it is advised that you try medication and bladder retraining therapy first, before resorting to surgical treatment.
To perform the anterior vaginal repair, an incision is made through the vagina to release a portion of the anterior (front) vaginal wall that is attached to the base of the bladder. The bladder and urethra are then stitched into the proper position. There are several variations on this procedure that may be necessary based on the severity of the dysfunction. This procedure may be performed using general or spinal anesthesia. You may have a foley catheter in place for 1 to 2 days after surgery. You will be given a liquid diet immediately after surgery, followed by a low residue diet when your normal bowel function has returned. Stool softeners and laxatives may be prescribed to prevent straining with bowel movements since this can cause stress on the incision.
Women treated with this procedure have approximately a 60% rate of success in relieving symptoms. You should avoid activities that cause an increase in abdominal pressure, such as straining, sneezing, and coughing. Try to tighten your pelvic muscles when coughing or sneezing to support the bladder. You may need to urinate at least every 2 to 3 hours, or perform clean intermittent self catheterization (CISC), to keep your bladder from getting too full and putting pressure on the stitches. You should avoid any activities that require lifting or straining. You may need to take stool softeners or gentle laxatives to prevent constipation and straining with bowel movements.

We have just received word back from Lusaka, Zambia, where our latest gospel crusade was held. 384,110 decision cards were completed and returned over the four days of meetings! The local churches are now hard at work following up on the new converts and we trust the Lord for "fruit that remains." Please join us in praying for those who made a decision – that they will become faithful and fruitful followers of Jesus.

Me too! I love the necklace.
Thank you for making me go to your website to get these patterns, now I've discovered your plethora of free patterns and tools! My new favorite magazine.
The information in the Winter issue of Interweave Crochet states that these patterns will be available for free download until March 15, 2014 - the quote says "after March 15, 2014, patterns will be available for sale at InterweaveStore.com." Today is March 15, 2014 and I'm getting the message that " this item is no longer available for download". What is going on??? I purchased this magazine only yesterday. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth that the very first thing I try on the website doesn't work, and I have been given invalid information. Also it took me four or five clicks and repetitious pages to even get this far. It seems the only way I can get anything free is to join. Makes me hesitate to join at all.
Dottie Carroll
In the book it says AFTER March 15, 2014! The website says FREE until March 15! You have two different messages!!!! Cannot find the download button!!! I am not happy!
I tried to download this earlier this week and couldn't, I contacted thru the "contact us" email button and have yet to hear back. I want to download these patterns, and like the others, it is still March 15 and the patterns are no longer available.....??????
I too came to download the free Ebook yesterday the 15th,and it said ." this item is no longer available for download " .What happen? The information in the Winter issue of Interweave Crochet states that these patterns will be available for free download until March 15, 2014 - the quote says "after March 15, 2014.You should honor what you say.Myrian Primera
i am a knitter. try to keep focus and buy interweave and knitscene vogue others. i am biassed against crochet used to be heavy for large garmants. i do like recent trends tho. esp knit garments connected w crochet... i bought the winter 2014. the tunisian approach looks interesting. audrey twinset etcetera grest. my daughter who is linng up knit pieces wld very much like winterfrost wrap... and was willing to try to learn tog.. but i see tho i did buy the mag month ago that we are not able to dwnload. she liked the necklace also. since its like negotiating world peace getting access wld be much appreciated.
If you email me at email@example.com I will email anyone that wants a copy of the crochet lace ice book.
How can I now get this "Lace Ice" ebook?
It is May 6 now and I would like to get this ebook somehow, even if I have to pay for it (but I won't buy it from anyone else but Interweave). This is the first time that I noticed a pattern, that was shown in the project index in the back of the magazine, to NOT be in the magazine. I bought this magazine (Interweave Crochet, Winger 2014) and expected that, as usual, all patterns shown in the index would be in the magazine as is usually the case! So, I delayed and missed out. I'm not happy about this change.
How can I get a copy of this book since it is in the current issue of interweave magazine. Oh wait its sanmagazine that was suppose to be off the shelf on March 17 I guess I will have to to email interweave magazine
Hi everyone! These patterns will soon be available as individual patterns in our online store. I will put up the link here when it is available. Thanks for stopping by!
These patterns should NOT be listed in the pattern index of interweave crochet if you are not going to have them available. I bought the mag, but didn't see that the booklet was available only til March 15th. Geez.
It's so beautiful!!! I must make these!
I bought the e-version of the magazine solely for the Cirque Cardigan, which was shown in the index. Months later, when I have the time to make it, I expected to find the pattern inside. But to my surprise, I will have to pay extra for it - if, and when, it comes to the site.
Probably this will be the last time I buy the Interwave Crochet Magazine. From now on, I'll stick to the Interwave Knits, because so far I have not had any problems with it. Also, before buying, I'll ask if the pattern I am interested is in it!
Thanks for listening.
In the magazine it was stated the lace ice patterns will be available to download free until March 15, today is the 3rd and the free download is no longer available -- what's up? Very disappointed.

STATESVILLE, FEBRUARY 25, 2014 – Blake Koch, driver of the No. 35 MDS Transport Ford comments on racing at Phoenix International Raceway:
"I'm really excited to get into the Cup car. I'm looking at this as a great opportunity and an audition, too, to go to Phoenix and, first off, make the race and then, second, finish the best we can and learn as much as we can. And then go to Vegas and do the same thing. And we'll see where it takes me from there. I'm definitely very grateful for this opportunity and I'm going to give it all I've got.
"It's tough to get here and it's tough to stay here. Seats don't open very often. So, this could be a dream come true. I just can't thank the team enough for giving me this opportunity.
"Phoenix is the type of track where I could go there and realistically have a shot at qualifying top-20 and have an amazing weekend. I think I've raced at Phoenix more than any other track. It will still be a tough race to qualify for. I won't have many laps in the car before we actually qualify. But I'll just apply everything I've learned up to this point, put it all together and run the best lap I can."
JUST THE FACTS: Koch has one other Sprint Cup start (Charlotte, October 2013) in his racing career … He has nine career starts at Phoenix in the Nationwide and K&N West series.

I spent two and a half hours yesterday morning literally contemplating the birds and bees at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens. And of course, painting (which is the reason for this post!) I have watched this garden grow over the years that I have lived nearby, and it has become one of my favorite places to wander and paint. In fact, it has recently been awarded one of the "top 10 gardens worth traveling for" , and I feel really fortunate to be just down the road.
At the far end of the garden, through the "woodland walk", one can come upon this little scene; it is a sanctuary for birds, butterflies, bees, and maybe even a human or two:

I have really missed plein air painting. It takes me beyond "production mode" and more deeply into the experience of painting nature. After yesterday's session I made a resolution; my goal for the next 60 days is to paint en plein air once a week. There may be a week here and there that my mommy duties will have to take precedence, but generally speaking I think this is a manageable goal. So if you notice me falling off task, you have my permission to nag, or slap me with a wet noodle–your choice!Site Search Tags:

Hello, all. This is My Beautiful Ending, and I believe in redeemable characters. :D
I'm a Christian girl, and I love God with all my heart and I try to make him a part of everything I do. I sincerely believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died for my sins and was raised to life on the third day. I have repented of my sins and accepted his free gift of salvation because I believe this. It's the best decision I ever made. Incidentally, I just finished Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. Awesome book! I totally recommend it, even if you aren't a Christian.
Because of this, my stories may have stuff like morals, happy endings, hope, faith, love, and things like that. I dare you to read them anyway!
Guess what? I have a tumblr!!!! Where I may or may not post things from stories. Right now it consists of a lot of Doctor Who and Fringe. And randomness. Feel free to stalk: I post a lot of graphics for my stories there.

I have a one-time gift. A beautiful gift that many people are ridiculed for in this day and age. A precious gift that many people throw away. It's called "virginity", and I plan to not waste it on some jerk of a boyfriend who's just gonna dump me later. I choose to be faithful to my future husband, the man who will love me for the rest of my life, and to wait for the wedding day!!

"If you believe in God, copy-and-paste blah blah blah..." So what? What does believing in God mean? Lots of people, Christian and non-Christian believe He exists. Even demons "believe in God." What makes you so different? I, for one, don't merely believe in Him...I TRUST in Him. I don't just "believe in God"...I believe in JESUS! I believe He is the ONLY Way, the ONLY Truth and the ONLY Life and without Him there is no salvation! If you believe in Jesus and have His Joy in your heart, don't just copy-and-paste this into your profile...SHOW IT!
If you actually go around fanfiction reading these things, COPY AND PASTE INTO YOUR PROFILE!

Art Spiegelman - "What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?"
Presented by Celebrity Series of Boston at Sanders Theatre
May 9, 2014
Art Spiegelman's comics are best known for their scratch-board, illustrative style and controversial content. In his talk "What the %@&*! Happened to Comics?" he takes his audience on a chronological tour of the evolution of comics, all the while explaining the value of this medium and why it should not be ignored.
"… comics echo the way the brain works. People think in iconographic images, not in holograms, and people think in bursts of language, not in paragraphs."
—Art Spiegelman

Saratoga Pets can be globetrotters, "visiting" Paris, Hollywood, Hawaii and beyond, at the new Pink Dog Parlor resort.
"Individual suites are decorated for a destination," said Michelle Kennedy, owner of Pink Dog Parlor.
When Kennedy moved her pet grooming and retail business to a larger location, she added a boarding facility for small dogs and cats that don't fare well at traditional kennels.
"It's really designed for dogs that wouldn't do well in a boarding kennel; that just sit there and shake and shiver," said Kennedy. "[Here] they're in a home-like environment. It's less stressful and they don't have a bunch of barking dogs or large and overwhelming dogs."
The resort features an "Arabian Nights" suite, Paris, Hollywood, Hawaii, Nantucket, Adirondacks and others. Whole families of dogs and cats can board together to provide added comfort.
"There were dogs and a cat and the cat could be with them or in the cat room," said Kennedy. "I put the cat in the cat room for feeding so the dogs didn't eat its food but it could be with the animals it was used to being with."
Cats who aren't used to dogs will be perfectly comfortable in their own quarters, though, said Kennedy.
Pink Dog Parlor will debut its new resort feature during a Grand Opening event on Sunday, Sept. 18. from 1 to 4 p.m. There will be tours of the facility, an adoption clinic with Heaven Sent Animal Rescue, activities for the kids, cupcakes for humans and pets and grooming and obedience demonstrations.
Kennedy used to own a boarding kennel, so she said she knows the toll an unfamiliar situation can have on smaller pets.
"I found the small dogs were very unhappy in that situation. When a dog is very stressed it can become ill, stop eating," said Kennedy.

Laguna Beach Unified School District board candidates put their stances on the table at Thursday's forum at Top of the World Elementary. Incumbents pushed consistency and practicality, while newcomers argued they would bring a fresh perspective to the board.
The forum was hosted by the League of Women's Voters and Laguna Beach PTA.
Jan Vickers and William Landsiedel are the incumbents. Vickers, a former educator and artist, has served a combined 22 years on the board, starting in 1981. This would be her fourth term if reelected. Landsiedel, an attorney and college lecturer, has been on the board for four years and served a six-month term in 2006.
Tammy Keces most recently taught first grade at New Horizon Elementary School, a private Islamic school in Irvine. She was a volunteer Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) teacher at Top of the World in 2009, she said.
Dee Namba Perry is a retired teacher who taught at El Morro Elementary and Top of the World. She was also a speech pathologist at Thurston Middle School.
All of the candidates either had children or currently have children in the district.
For more information on the candidates, click here.
Should kindergarten be a full day?
The question was posed whether the candidates supported a half-day kindergarten or if they wanted a transition to a full day.
Both Keces and Perry were in agreement that a full day would allow more instructional time and argued that although the children get tired, they'd get used to it over time.
Perry argued that as a teacher she barely had 45 minutes of instructional time in a half-day schedule after calculating time spent in the library, recess, snack and using computers.
Vickers said that although it seems that instructional time is shortened, other activities kindergartners participate in — such as using computers — is learning and shouldn't be counted as time outside the classroom. Like many student issues there is a "real mix of parent feelings" when it comes to lengthening the day, she said.
Some children are older in kindergarten and some kids are younger and not developmentally ready for that much instructional time, she said. If a change were to happen, it would require collaboration of the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, teachers and the new common core standards.
Landsiedel said he was torn on the issue and thought that children today already have enough pressure academically.
He said that the half day is strenuous on teachers and that it seemed to be enough for the children.
"Right now, I don't see a compelling reason to change," he said.
Improving programming
Incumbents Landsiedel and Vickers touted the success of PLC, or professional learning communities, where teachers gather together and discuss best first instruction — sharing what works best for their students and what to do when a student requires an intervention.

Annecy's MIFA: It's Business Time
by Marie Beardmore
Courtesy of Annecy.
It was the fortieth animation festival at Annecy this year and the tenth MIFA. Annecy stands alone as the place where animation art and business meet, says Vincent Ferri, manager, MIFA. "I'm doing my best to keep the synergy alive. We want to spread the word that Annecy is the only place where all sectors of the industry, the art and the business, are catered for." To this end, he wants to attract more investors, recruiters and directors, to increase both the talent pool and also attract those business people who may not have thought about animation before but now do so. He's particularly keen to attract more UK buyers and investors, who were somewhat thin on the ground this year. Next year, he's planning to keep the various Annecy events separate by issuing gold, silver (MIFA) and Bronze (festival) passes for Annecy, with the gold pass giving access to all areas. This year there was a charge for attending the MIFA which some felt was unfair and as a result didn't go in. Ferri reported strong MIFA numbers overall, though -- 670 companies attending the MIFA, as opposed to 575 last year, although there were less stands at the MIFA than previously. This year's Annecy 2000 event was held amid rumours of an unofficial boycott because of the controversial choice of Roy Disney, Walt's nephew, as honorary chair ("He stands against everything the festival stands for," said a source). Despite this, though, and the close proximity of WAC in LA, which might have affected figures, numbers attending Annecy were over 5,000 for the first time.

New Faces
There were some new entrants at the MIFA this year as well. For the first time companies from Thailand and Bulgaria were represented. Baltic Films also attended for the first time. The MIFA demonstrated an increased fusion between 2D and 3D; more shows are combining the two to produce innovative programming. Internet start up companies were prevalent, such as Timebox, a new UK animation company established just three months ago, which is one of a number of fast growing European animation companies that are taking advantage of the Flash technology to create animations quickly. Timebox made its debut appearance at Annecy this year and was pleased with the response they got in the marketplace.

In just three months of operation Timebox has created three shows: Millie Mop, Girl Uninterruptable-- 12 x 1 minutes for young adults about a girl who tells you exactly what she thinks, all of the time -- and The Bet,which is based on the short story by Anton Chekhov, and is a short film based on two men's disagreement over capital punishment which ends in tragedy. A third series is Dogho,a series about a dog who hates football and is always been dragged to watch it. All three shows have been built in Flash, which, says Sherif Choudry, producer, has meant they could be established quickly. A few years ago, Choudry, who has a business and computer background, says he wouldn't have attempted to build an animation company, but because of Flash has been able to seize the opportunity to work in a different industry. The components of Timebox are Choudry, who provides the overall business strategy, Anuk Teasdale, writer, and director, Mike Brand.
Timebox hopes to syndicate the Flash animations to short form entertainment specialists such as Atom Films, but they are also creating long form animation based on the folk tales of the world. The latter was the post-graduate subject for the company's writer/author, Teasdale, so there are literally hundreds of projects in the pipeline. Director Brand is of East European descent and this shows in his work, which has a distinct look and feel that is typically from that region. The company is now looking for investment from a third party to continue its expansion. It is also interested in providing service work, pre-production and Flash animation, and is willing to discuss ideas with creatives who want to see their work on screen.

It's Tuesday—market day. Idamane Supreme leaves her husband and children and heads down the dusty hill, past hundreds of neighbors milling around in front of their small homes. At 9 am, it's already starting to get hot.
The main road that leads into this Haitian village is teeming with life. Trucks, donkeys, goats and people are all trying to stay out of each other's way. Women and men display their goods on colorful cloths that line the side of the road.
Idamane works her way through the crowd, buying groceries for the week: rice, beans, plantains, oil, sugar and vegetables. She negotiates for a live chicken, which she carries home by its feet.
When she gets back home, she does something that only a few dozen other women in this village of 3,000 get to do: she pulls out a box, finds a spot in the sun and sets up a solar oven.
An Alternative Source of Fuel
This project is an example of how The Nature Conservancy is doing impactful work in a way that incorporates both the needs of nature and local communities.
Tilori lies on the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and the edge of the Sabana Clara Forest Reserve. As the trees around Tilori began diminishing, villagers began crossing into the forest reserve to gather wood for cooking, having to go further and further each time and disrupting the ecological health of the forest reserve.
The Conservancy worked with the Dominican Republic Ministry of Environment and developed an innovative agroforestry project in 2009. The project began with villagers planting fruit trees as a sustainable food and income source and fast growing woody trees that, once mature, could provide fuel.
In late 2011,in a joint effort with Solar Household Energy Inc., a second component was added: a pilot project in which 30 families in the Tilori area received a solar oven and an energy-efficient stove for evenings or cloudy days.
"50 goud [Haitian currency] of wood used to last us one week and now it can last us three weeks," Idamane says. "We used to go more often to get wood, and now we have to go a lot less often."

While a lawsuit over Knox County Schools' security equipment heats up, school leaders and local law enforcement have already been discussing security following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Here's a look at where security stands, and ways the police chief and the sheriff think it could be improved.
Keeping Knox County Schools safe - that's Officer Dennis Murphy's mission. He's one of 45 school security officers in Knox County Schools. Each is assigned to the district's middle and high schools, along with some elementary schools.
"Our school security officers are armed. They are well trained, and we do lots of joint training exercises with the Sheriff's Office and with KPD," Knox County Schools superintendent Dr. Jim McIntyre said.
The Knoxville Police Department has 17 officers on its force focused on school safety. They're spread out among the seven middle and seven high schools in city limits. Each middle school has one officer, and some high schools have two. Others officers keep an eye on the elementary schools.
The Knox County Sheriff's Office shares in that mission.
"Public safety and the protection of our children are the two most important things that we do," Knox County Sheriff Jimmy "J.J." Jones said.
KCSO has deputies dedicated to the seven middle schools and eight high schools outside city limits. Other deputies go between two or three elementary schools.
But the Sandy Hook shooting last December prompted a broader discussion about school security in Knox County.
"We can always learn more. We can always do better. We can always think about how we enhance those efforts and improve those efforts," Dr. McIntyre said.
"We're not talking about specific types of incidents. We're not talking about the Sandy Hook's. We're talking about everything that comes into play as far as the security of our children," Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch said.
That conversation comes down to physical tools, like monitoring systems, and the number of officers in each school. Currently, each Knox County elementary school does not have a full-time officer. Sheriff Jones wants to change that.
"We're talking about maybe adding 20 officers," Sheriff Jones said. "With equipment and radios and cars and those types of things, you're talking about roughly $2.2 million."
Sheriff Jones plans to make this request for the upcoming fiscal year.
To put an officer in each city elementary school, KPD would have to add 25 to its force. Chief Rausch says they will have to find the right level.
"It's not as simple as people just looking, and saying, 'Well you should just put an officer there.' It's not that simple. You have to think of deeper things, among educational processes and how does it play into the overall safety to the school," Chief Rausch said.
According to Chief Rausch, adding 25 more officers would require an upfront cost of about $2.5 million.
"Obviously the safety of our schools, you can't put a value on the safety for children. But you've got to be practical in your approach," Chief Rausch said. "I think we could cover it in a different way. I think we could do it in as few as five officers."
Currently, KPD's 17 officers cost the department about $1.35 million each year. For the Sheriff's Department, the annual cost comes in at $1,675,495 for its 24 officers. And Knox County Schools pays $1,355,173 per year for 45 school security officers.
Dr. McIntyre says adding more officers, like Officer Dennis Murphy, is something he will consider. The question is at what level, where and at what cost.
"I think those are all questions that we'll need to have a broader conversation and dialogue about with our school board, with our community, and certainly with Sheriff Jones and Chief Rausch," Dr. McIntyre said.
However, Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett said he won't consider any new funding requests for school security at this time. He wants the pending lawsuit over security technology, and any fallout, to be resolved first.
Knox County Schools is also planning a Community Forum to discuss school safety and school security. The meeting is set for Tuesday, March at 6:00 p.m. at Amherst Elementary School (5101 Schaad Road).

The 80 20 Rule suggests that a small number of causes often produces most of the results. This is a useful perspective for thinking about our lives in general and for your life in particular. For instance, a company might find that most of their business comes from just a few steady customers. Or a person might find that the first hour of every day is the most effective and the rest of each day just drifts by. Or a company might find that just a few salesmen bring in the bulk of its orders.
So how do we take advantage of learning what "produces" and what doesn't? You can hope Santa will bring you success and happiness, or you can be thoughtful and "hands on" about managing your life. (Actually, I do both.) That is, you can dream a lot or you can use the 80 20 Rule. (By the way, thanks, Kymberli Brady, of San Jose Stock, for the photo of me and the old man.)
The Magnolia Jazz Band is a typical business, I'm sure. If you're like me, you probably find that a relatively small number of factors in your life, or your business, have an enormous influence on everything else. In a minute I'll tell you why the 80 20 Rule matters to me and why it should to you, as well.
By the way, this imbalance between cause and effect appears in many fields — economics, government, business, technology — and people often discover the ratio of "results" to "causes" approaches 80/20, though of course it's seldom exactly that. However the ratio is a handy "rule of thumb".
Now, as 2010 winds down, many of us are using this rule of thumb to take stock of how things went for us during the year. Whether or not we know the 80 20 Rule by name, we apply it when we decide to emphasize the most effective influences in our lives or careers, and de-emphasize the rest, in order of ineffectiveness. We don't dwell on the specific numbers too long. Instead, we determine which factors worked out well, which ones fizzled, and act to enhance the former and diminish the latter.
Thinking about the 80 20 Rule is a useful way to prioritize and allocate our limited resources, like time, energy, health, attention, friends, or money. This is often an end-of-the-year exercise, but we really ought to do it at least several times throughout the year. However, applying the 80 20 Rule correctly can be tricky, as this interesting article from Lifehack describes, and see the handy "How To" list at the end.
Toward the end of every December I find myself reviewing the year's ups and downs. Same with you? I'm asking lots of questions these days, looking for the factors with the best "payoff". Every factor in my personal and business life is "on the table", so to speak. In my opinion, the more I consider, the better. Here are just a few of my questions. Are some familiar?
- Should I strengthen this habit, break that one, or develop a new one?
– Should I join this group or leave that one?
– Should I be a better friend to this person or separate myself from that one?
– Has my typical client profile changed this year?
– Should I continue this subscription or begin a different one?
– Should I continue advertising here, or does somewhere else look more promising?
– Should I market online more, with email, social media, or something new?
Do you ever manage a project? Well, who doesn't? Many of my colleagues either plan or collaborate on weddings and parties. The best of them surely understand how this rule applies to their events, and I discuss it in another blog about the 80 20 Rule.
In the meantime, I'm still thinking everything over, and whatever I decide, you can be sure the band will continue entertaining at weddings and parties nearly every day. If we can ever help you, please call us at 408-245-9120.

Carnival Miracle Cruise Review by PitaGirl: In love with the Miracle

In love with the Miracle
Although the Miracle is one of the older, smaller ships it has class.
The ship was in great shape and so was our cabin, 8128. The ship was easy to maneuver and get to know. I travelled with my husband and 6 yr old son. We all thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and my son loved Camp Carnival.
our cabin was very quiet and our steward, Espirato, was incredible. He is the best cabin steward we have had to date (this was our 5th cruise). Location of our cabin was near the elevators/stairs but just around the corner so there was no excess noise due to traffic or use of the stairs/elevator.
the fitness facility was excellent. never an issue with getting on the treadmills and the treadmills themselves ran smoothly.
Food. What can I say? it was excellent. this was our first time to try anytime dining and it worked out well. We tried to sit with Henry and his staff most nights but we were not disappointed when we were seated with Ahmad and his staff. Both took excellent care of us More and always remembered us and what we liked.
This was our first time stopping at Half moon cay and it was awesome.
overall this was an excellent cruise and sailing out of New York, although on the cooler side it was well worth sailing past the Statue of Liberty and experiencing a bit of NYC prior to the cruise departure. Less

Written Answers - Vocational Training Opportunities Scheme.
Thursday, 12 April 2001
Dáil Eireann Debate
235. Mr. Fleming asked the Minister for Education and Science if he will substantially increase the funding for the vocational training opportunities scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11292/01]
Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): The vocational training opportunities scheme, VTOS, was established in 1989 with the objective of providing second chance education and training opportunities for unemployed adults over the age of 21 and in receipt of an unemployment payment for at least six months. Participants in VTOS cease to receive unemployment payments and are paid training allowances of at least an equivalent amount. They are also paid travelling expenses, where they reside three miles from the centre and a meal allowance in line with those payable by FÁS.
About 5,000 people participate annually in VTOS at an annual cost to the State of £32 million. It has proved very successful in opening up learning and progression opportunities for people who have been marginalised by unemployment. For each of the years 1994 to 2000, the percentage of participants who completed the programme and who progressed to work or further education was 70% or more.
The Department's grant covers teaching and management costs, non-pay costs, and the payment of training, travel and meals allowances to participants. In relation to non-pay, the grant for such items as light, heat, rent, books and equipment and other general expenses is £15,000 per core group of 20 VTOS students.
A training bonus of £25 per week was introduced in September 1999 for participants who were registered as long-term unemployed prior to starting their programme, that is, 12 months, as an incentive to encourage greater participation of [1355] the long-term unemployed in education and training programmes.
A scheme of grants for child care for VTOS students was introduced in 1998 in order to facilitate the attendance of people who would otherwise be prevented from doing so by child care responsibilities. An adult educational guidance service has been initiated on a pilot basis, and a new management structure has been developed for the programme.
[1356] The development of VTOS features strongly in the back to education initiative, as set out in the recent White Paper on adult education, Learning for Life. Under this measure, £1.027 billion will be provided under the national development plan over the period of the plan for the development of a number of programmes, including VTOS, which will involve a significant expansion of part-time options. The resources for the programme will be examined in that context.

Oakley Overload Gloves $0.00
The Oakley Overload Gloves are built to armor your hands if you ride in rocky, abusive terrain. That said, they offer lots of protection, but it comes in the form of a durable design and Oakley's tough, yet flexible Unobtanium rubber. Without losing your sensations on the bars and shifters, they'll give you the confidence to blast down the trail at warp speed, knowing that even if you come off, you'll still be able to sign the consent form for the ambulance service if necessary.
They have a Clarino palm that's doubled in high wear areas, like the heel of the palm and around the inside of your palm and down the thumb where your hand grips the bar. This gives them extra abrasion resistance and helps them last longer without decreasing your ability to grip the bar and have control in tight situations on the trail. Oakley adds gripper silicone on the fingers to add grip when you need fine dexterity for opening trail maps or cinching down your pack buckles.
The back of the hand is covered with an assemblage of Spandura, mesh, and Unobtanium -- all together creating a look that screams Oakley and shields you from potential bumps and bruises. Compared to their lighter weight Factory and Automatic Gloves, these Overload Gloves have a sturdier build, and they also have a wrist strap to cinch down the fit. The solitary concession to creature comforts is the terry cloth panel on the thumb that's perfect for wiping your brow or the sweat from your eyes on sunny rides.
The Oakley Overload Gloves are available in Black or Sheet Metal and come in four sizes from Small to X-Large.
- Mesh body breathes well as you climb back up to the top of the bike park
- A soft terry nose wipe helps keep your face and goggles clear of mud, blood, and a gross combination of the two
- A small hook-and-loop strap locks the glove down tight for a consistent fit

Oakley Overload Glove
Good gloves. Not great but definitely good.
Subpar Quality?
I bought these gloves because they looked thick and durable so I could use them when I XC and DH. The quality of the materials used is great, including awesome gripper strips that will not rub off immediately. Two rides in, no crashes, and there is already a whole between the thumb and pointer finger though. I am having them exchanged (H&R customer service rocks) and went a size up this time. I hope this pair will last longer...

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. - Summer is the perfect time to get social, whether it's online or at an outdoor patio.
You can use that social time to your advantage, as well, by making it a networking opportunity.
Kevin Vick, with the executive search firm D-H-R International, sat down on KARE 11 Sunrise with some tips to make the most of summer networking.
Among his top tips, Vick recommends targeting formal networking events that align with your industry, interest and experience.

About the MitraClip(R) Procedure
Percutaneous mitral repair with Evalve's MitraClip(R) device is performed by physicians in the catheterization laboratory. The heart beats normally during the procedure, and therefore does not require a heart-lung bypass machine. In addition to improving blood flow through the heart, the procedure may also relieve symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath that often affect patients with significant MR. After treatment, patients generally recover quickly. The MitraClip(R) device may improve quality of life and may help MR patients avoid or delay surgery, having preserved surgical options (valve repair or replacement) should surgery become necessary.
About Evalve, Inc.
Founded in 1999, Evalve, Inc., headquartered in Menlo Park, Calif., has developed a proprietary system which enables percutaneous repair of cardiac valves. The company's initial products are intended to reduce the risks, trauma and costs associated with current open, arrested heart surgical options. For more information about Evalve, Inc., and for an animated explanation of the procedure using the MitraClip(R) device, visit www.evalveinc.com. Evalve is the first portfolio company from the medical device company incubator, The Foundry (www.thefoundry.com).
The MitraClip(R) system is currently undergoing clinical evaluation in the United States and Canada.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Federal Reserve will take the small easing step of pledging to keep rates low for longer at the end of its two-day meeting this week, analysts said on the eve of the event.
At the moment, the Fed has said it expects to keep rates exceptionally low until late 2014. Economists say the Fed is likely to push this out until mid-2015.
"Extending the forward guidance is the least-costly option, and if their goal is to keep long-term interest rates low, it will do the trick," said Scott Brown, chief economist with Raymond James.
Economists said the Fed must be disappointed that their past efforts have left the economy still struggling to find its feet. The economy grew a feeble 1.5% in the second quarter and the unemployment rate remains stuck above 8%. See reactions to GDP report.
The central bank will hold off, for at least a few more weeks, on major stimulus such as more asset purchases, to get a better sense of whether the economy is in a soft patch or in deeper trouble.
"While the case for taking immediate action is strong, we expect the FOMC will hold off for now, preferring to observe whether the current slowdown is enduring." said Bruce Kasman, head of economic research at J.P. Morgan Chase, in a note to clients.
The Fed will get two more employment reports before its next meeting in mid-September, including the July report on Friday.
Job growth has only averaged 75,000 per month in the second quarter. Fed officials have indicated that this pace is unacceptable.
If the next two reports are equally sluggish, the Fed will announce a new round of bond purchase after its Sept. 12-13 meeting, Kasman said.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expect nonfarm payroll employment grew by 110,000 jobs in July, up slightly from 80,000 in the prior month. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 8.2%. See MarketWatch calendar.
The Fed will use its two-day meeting that ends Wednesday to review its policy options. It will release a statement at 2:15 p.m. Eastern. Fed Chief Ben Bernanke will not hold a press conference this week.
At the prior meeting in June, the Fed extended its holdings of long-term government bonds by $267 billion. Read Fed continues 'Twist;' Bernanke hints at more.
Analysts said the Fed move was designed to buy time and see how the economy developed during the fall.
But economic data took a turn for the worse shortly after the Fed meeting, putting more focus on further easing.
Bernanke himself gave no hints of imminent moves in two days of testimony on monetary policy to Congress earlier this month. But a report in The Wall Street Journal last week said the Fed was moving closer to action. As a result, most analysts are hedging their bets about the meeting this week, saying it is a close call that the Fed will remain on hold.

Cyracos® lemon balm extract is prepared from special lemon balm chosen for its high concentrations of hydroxycinnamic and rosmarinic acids. These active lemon balm constituents appear to enhance mood by modulating specific nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in the cerebral cortex of the brain.
Aside from relieving everyday stress and sleep problems, this plant extract may also offer smokers relief from the mental stress of quitting, aid in leveling mood swings, and help reduce the emotional hunger associated with dieting (or following a calorie restriction regimen for anti-aging purposes).
The Japanese have long known that L-theanine, an amino acid derived from green tea, is a natural relaxant that diminishes stress,(10-13) without drowsiness, impaired thought, or other side effects.
L-theanine produces calming effects in the brain in ways that have been compared to meditation, massage, and aromatherapy. L-theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness. In fact, studies show that L-theanine enhances the brain's ability to concentrate, learn, and remember.(14-20) L-theanine increases GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that not only induces relaxation but also produces a sense of well-being.(21) L-theanine may normalize levels of dopamine, a critical brain hormone that is depleted by various stress factors.(15,21,22)
Research shows that L-theanine has numerous health-enhancing effects, including promoting healthy cognitive function. In studies of neurons in cell culture, L-theanine reversed glutamate- or other neurotoxicant-induced neurotoxicity, a major cause of normal brain aging.(11-22) Based on an enormous amount of published data showing the multiple beneficial effects of lemon balm extract and L-theanine, Life Extension has combined these potent but safe nutrients into a formula called Natural Stress Relief.
Note that the amount of L-theanine in this product is double that of most L-theanine standalone supplements. The reason for this potency increase is reports of greater benefit when at least 200 mg of L-theanine is taken.
Beware of Imitations: The L-theanine used in Natural Stress Relief is Suntheanine®, the only pure form of L-theanine protected by 40 internationally recognized patents and scientifically proven in clinical studies to be safe and efficacious. Independent laboratory analysis has verified that certain other products on the market claiming to contain "L-theanine" are only half L-theanine, the other half being a different form of theanine known as "D-theanine" which has not been scientifically evaluated in published studies.

Rick Wagoner wants to make your next test drive more fun
Filed under: Car Buying, Etc.
Actually, it's not Rick Wagoner all by himself, but the ex-GM chairman is working with a team of tech entrepreneurs who make up Tred, a new test drive concierge service. Tred is still in beta, but the idea is that you pick the cars you'd like to test drive, schedule delivery by concierges who are working to get positive feedback from folks like you and then try out the vehicles you're considering on the roads you know.
There's been good in-roads for Tred in the Seattle area for both dealers and shoppers. How Tred manages to convert a delivery service that's asking for feedback into actual profit will be something to watch. Ask our auto-test fleet people, delivering cars is a time-intensive undertaking that requires people and insurance above and beyond the lot attendants at most car dealerships. Also, dealerships themselves can offer this kind of service, especially a multi-line dealer group, and they've got a book full of relationships from which to start.
In other words, Tred may have a long road to … tread. We'll be watching.
