Dr. Ottavio G. Nepa's Ratings
I lived with chronic backaches for most of my life. Other than over-the-counter meds, slouching was the only way of attempting to relieve some of my pain. Acting on a referral, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Nepa, of the Atlas Chiropratic Center. I found his staff to be extremely warm and friendly. At the end of my first visit, I knew that I had finally found what I had been searching for, a kind, caring, compassionate doctor, one who has dedicated his life to helping others live their lives, pain-free and I am happy to say, that I am one of them, thanks to Dr. Nepa. He recently added two massage therapists to his practice, so if you are looking for tension and stress relief, treat yourself to a massage at an affordable price, you'll be happy you did.

A friend recommended Dr Nepa when I was getting no relief for my debilitating sciatic pain. One previous doctor even suggested surgery. Through Dr Nepa's persistence, patience and compassion my sciatic pain has been relieved WITHOUT surgery.Dr Nepa is very thorough and knowledgeable and his entire office staff is very friendly and accommodating..I have been a satisfied, pain-free patient for several years.

After a terrible skiing accident where I broke my right shoulder, I had extreme pain in my neck and back. I also suffered from headaches everyday. I was in pain for 2 years, receiving treatment from several MDs and chiropractors, but nobody could stop the pain. Some doctors even made the pain worse. Then I met Dr. Ottavio Nepa (chiropractor), and after performing 2 painless adjustments, I was almost completely pain free. Within 3 weeks of my first treatment I was, and remain, pain-free from my accident. Dr. Nepa uses special painless and gentle techniques when adjusting my neck and back. I thank God I met him over 10 years ago! If you have chronic pain or migraines, THIS IS THE GUY!

Dr. Nepa is wonderful! I suffered from neck pain for years and was reluctant to visit a chiropractor, but I am so glad I finally did! He put me at ease and helped me so much! My neck pain is history and he has since helped me with arm and back problems. I am always confident he will offer the best solutions!

EAST PROVIDENCE – And so, Alex Butler and his East Providence High squad was left with this: With nothing left to play for other than pride and principle, the Townies played free and easy Wednesday night while at the same time providing defending state champion St. Raphael Academy with all sorts of fits.
By no means did E.P. run away from the challenge at hand. The Townies stood toe-to-toe with the defending champs until the very end of an eventual 58-55 Saints win that demonstrated to Butler that his team was not ready to enjoy the rest of its February vacation.
"Over the past few days I've looked at the scores of the teams that wouldn't be going to the playoffs. All of them got rolled," Butler stated. "We came out and played hard."
The Townies, who wrap up at 5-13 in Division I-East, certainly earned the respect of Saints veteran mentor Tom "Saar" Sorrentine. "They had us on the ropes. Those [E.P.] kids played hard. They had nothing to play for and gave us a game."
It was a close-knit affair until the dying seconds when the Saints (14-4, Division I-East) got some slight separation thanks to coming up with some stops on the defensive end. With the ball and trailing 53-52 after a timeout with 1:08 to play, East Providence quickly attacked the rim with senior Victor Adewusi missing at point blank range. The Townies secured the offensive board with the ball quickly thrust into the hands of John Vaughn, who was positioned along the right wing.
In keeping with the defensive scheme Sorrentine recently introduced to his players, two Saints quickly swarmed Vaughn, the idea being to cut off the Townie's ability to dribble out of traffic or pass the ball off. Eventually Vaughn lost the battle with the ball popping into the arms of SRA junior Charles Correa, who fed senior Cesar Mejia for a layup with 36 ticks remaining.
East Providence's next possession also ended with SRA taking the ball away. A theft by Davon Roberton occurred when the senior knocked the ball towards Correa. The end result was a trip to the foul line with Correa knocked down both to make it a five-point game with 24.9 seconds flashing on the scoreboard.
In keeping with the theme of the night, the underdog Townies refused to go quietly into the night. A 3-pointer by Nick DeBarros cut St. Raphael's lead to 57-55 with 6.2 seconds left. Correa then hit the first of two shots from the line to make it a 3-point game. He missed the second, which left East Providence in scramble mode as the final precious seconds ticked off.
Correa was the game's high man, registering 22 points while knocking down three 3-pointers. The Saints also received a big effort off the bench from John Cooney, a sophomore who amassed 10 points while hitting three shots from downtown. DeBarros led E.P. with 13 points on four treys while leading scorer Jawaan Lyles added 12 points.
The first half boiled down to 16-minute exercise in weathering the storm. The home team bolted out to a 17-6 lead as SRA began the contest just 3-of-16 from the floor with eight turnovers. Behind Correa and Cooney, the Saints were able to shoot their way back into the contest, the pair combining for six makes from deep over a four-minute span. Such proficiency sparked a 19-0 SRA run and allowed the visitors to take its first lead of the game at 25-22.
Instead of completely caving in, the Townies regrouped to take a 33-29 lead into halftime. The pace slowed down considerably in the second half with the teams trading opportunities to seize control. A 3-ball from freshman Graham Lynch put SRA up 39-38 with 10 minutes remaining.
Jumpers by Vaughn and Lyles helped the upset-minded Townies pull even at 51-all before a free throw by Adewusi pinned SRA in a one-point hole with 1:55 left. Junior Abdou Bah picked a fine time to record his first hoop of the contest, cleaning up a Jordan Peguero miss at 1:33 to reclaim the lead for the Saints.

Look and look again
Regular visitors to this blog and my website will see that there is a new banner and new photos. These were all taken in my garden recently at the first sign of spring. The close up of the bee is my favourite. Scanning the garden with the camera I zoomed in on a shrub and saw the bee. Focused on the bee I saw pollen dust and hair; garden life in detail and depth I hadn't seen at first sight.
I love taking photographs and with a digital camera there is the freedom to 'have a go' and decide at the end if the photos are worth keeping. The camera lets me see in a different way. Through the viewfinder I capture a framed version of what I saw with my eyes but as a segment, one view of the whole, and by moving the camera left or right, or up or down, I can see more views, each time reframing what's there, taking out and putting in; creating and discovering anew.
In writing (and other creative pursuits) we do that too. We look and look again, closing in then panning out, depicting and portraying new worlds and characters with colour and dimension. It's a freedom we can enjoy in most areas of creativity. We can have fun trying, experimenting, and seeing what happens. We are free to discard or keep. We might reject a piece at first but keep it and coming across it later discover it holds the seed of something new.

Frederic Peters has announced the forth development release of the GNOME 3.8 desktop environment.
The development of the GNOME 3.8 is progressing nicely and the developers are pumping even more changes into the desktop environment.
As stated in the announcement, this current release of Gnome, more precisely GNOME 3.7.4 ( the name of the development version of the 3.8 branch), has been delayed for a few days.
"This got delayed by a few days as we were waiting for tarballs but here is GNOME 3.7.4, it has many new things. Still this is a development release and we had to do it while missing some important tarballs, most importantly we had to do with an older tracker tarball, and that makes building gnome-boxes, gnome-documents, and nautilus impossible," said Frederic Peters.
As usual, GNOME 3.7.4 comes with a lot of core and app updates, such as Anjuta 3.7.4, Cheese 3.7.4, Evolution 3.7.4, and File Roller 3.7.2.
Other major new versions include Gedit 3.7.3, Gnome Boxes 3.7.3, Orca 3.7.4, Rygel 0.17.6, Vinagre 3.7.4, NetworkManager 0.9.7.995, Clutter 1.13.4, Empathy 3.7.4, Eye of Gnome 3.7.4, Evince 3.7.4, Gtk+ 3.7.6, Files (former Nautilus) 3.7.4, and Vino 3.7.4.
One of the most interesting new features added to Gnome 3.7.4 is a new Search function. Described as a "just type" system, uses will be able to expand the search beyond the Gnome Shell, including Documents, Downloads, Dropbox, and so on.
Check out the official announcement for a complete list of updated packages, accompanied by their appropriate changelogs. As you would imagine, the number of updated packages is much bigger and we only provided some highlights.
The next development release will be 3.7.5, and it's planned for February 4, just after the Developer Experience Hackfest and FOSDEM.
Download GNOME 3.7.4 right now from Softpedia. This release is a snapshot of early development code. Although it is buildable and usable, it is primarily intended for testing and hacking purposes.

The north country has unique circumstances to take advantage of, because of the many farmers in the region that have excess production, excess land and the capacity to start thinking about the integration of community-supported agriculture U.S. Rep. William Owens told attendees at Forest, Farm & Fork: An Opportunity Symposium at Paul Smiths College on Monday.
I think we are uniquely set up for the growth of the CSA, particularly in this district. I have been seeing vineyards developing, orchards expanding, maple syrup production expanding and a regeneration in the dairy industry, the Plattsburgh Democrat said.
The symposium was sponsored by Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Franklin County and Paul Smiths College to discuss the 2014 Farm Bill and the opportunities the bill holds for the north country.
Owens said he was happy to be invited to speak at the symposium and one of the reasons was because there are many provisions in the Farm Bill that he believes can be helpful to local communities.
One such provision encourages food pantries to figure out a way to expand the availability of fresh foods in their respective communities, Owens said.
Another provision would encourage farmers to either sell or lease their land to a new farmer using incentives contained in the Farm Bill. The bill establishes loans and grants to help new farmers get into agriculture. It also calls for new farmer to enter into contracts with farmers markets or food pantries to sell their produce directly to these entities.
According to Owens, another of the Farm Bills accomplishments was enabling food stamps users to double the amount of fresh food they can purchase at farmers markets using their benefits.
Owens said he has had many interesting conversations with growers in Northern New York.
The growers are seeing crops that they could never grow 20 years ago that are now becoming substantial crops for the growers. Owens said this will increase the growers productivity throughout the year.
Owens said the bill was initially hard to pass due to issues related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program –– formerly known as food stamps –– and that most of the farm issues had been resolved when the time came to pass the bill.
Republicans had proposed cutting SNAP by at least $39 billion over 10 years, but House and Senate negotiators ultimately agreed to cuts totalling about $8 billion, or 1 percent of the SNAP budget, by closing a loophole that several states and the District of Columbia were using to increase SNAP payments to low-income households.
From my perspective there are always places you can take a little from, but $40 billion was simply ridiculous, Owens said.
Owens said moving forward with the provisions of the bill will create lots of opportunity, especially in this area, to grow farms and effectively grow the regions economies through that process.

The Wild Things Lightweight Bivy Shelter is an alpine-style shelter that a group of up to four could pull over their heads to hunker down against a storm or strong winds, or that an injured skier or climber could use as an emergency shelter to conserve warmth.
Unique to Wild Things' implementation is the use of super-light Cuben fiber-reinforced spinnaker fabric, bringing the weight of the shelter to a scant 3.8 ounces (108 grams), and allowing it to pack into a fist-sized ball.
Construction is simple - the shelter is essentially a large bag to pull over occupants, with a single vent opening and four small cord loops sewn into the bottom perimeter of the shelter for anchoring. I noted that the vent was not completely sealable, and that the loops appeared big enough for a pole, stake or cord, but not skis or ice tools; however, the design is still being refined.
Though the price will give some pause, the Lightweight Bivy Shelter's minimal packed size and weight make it a very appealing addition to the winter emergency shelter arena.
Note: Wild Things also makes a $150 blaze orange Silnylon Bivy Shelter that's slightly larger, has a tunnel vent with mesh and drawcord, and weighs in at 13 ounces (369 grams).

Audio Books on CUE
Does anyone know how to make CUE index Audio books on USB or SD card? I have several files of audio books (.m4b extension) but CUE doesn't seem to recognize them as Audiobooks. Do they have to be in some sort of folder/directory hierarchy before they are recognized as AudioBooks? As a work around, I got it to play using a playlist file but the problem is, every time I go back to it, the book starts from the beginning!

Re: Audio Books on CUE
Pretty sure you can change the .m4b to a .m4a and it would work. But don't expect it to pick up where you left off, this is usually handled by the host device, i.e. iPod. I just play audio books through my iPhone and it all works out.

The Research Centre for Japanese Language and Linguistics was created in March 2009 within the Faculty of Oriental Studies to function as an umbrella for research activities related to Japanese language and linguistics through the University.
The Centre also serves as a forum for publicizing teaching, seminars, lectures, and other activities of interest to Japanese linguistics, and as a point of access to information for prospective graduate students interested in Japanese language and linguistics. The Centre welcomes academic visitors to the University who work within Japanese linguistics.
In addition to the Centre's membership of staff and graduate students from the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the new Faculty of Linguistics and our visiting scholars, the Centre also has a membership of external affiliates who have a connection with the Centre and its members, for example through joint research projects.
A major research project hosted within the Centre is the four-and-a-half year project, 'Verb semantics and argument realization in pre-modern Japanese', which is a collaborative effort involving researchers working in England, Japan, and the US. However, the research of the members of the Centre is wide-ranging, from acquisition of Japanese as a foreign language to reconstruction of proto-Japanese morphology.

The Oklahoma City Council voted 7-2 on Tuesday to add sexual orientation to the city's employment nondiscrimination policy after a debate that lasted more than half of the council meeting.
Gay and bisexual Oklahoma City employees and job applicants now have explicit protection against discrimination in city offices. They already had de facto protection before the vote, city officials said.
The measure was sponsored by Ward 2 Councilman Ed Shadid. Ward 3 Councilman Larry McAtee and Ward 7 Councilman Skip Kelly cast the dissenting votes.
Lengthy debate
About 100 people packed the council chamber well in advance of the 8:30 a.m. meeting.
Usually only one or two dozen people come to watch or speak at the meetings, and those who come typically are concerned about an item on the agenda that affects their property.
The number of speakers for and against the measure was about even, though it seemed the majority of the people in attendance were against the measure. Some speakers were applauded when they finished their comments, and the applause was loudest and longest for those who spoke against it.
In general, speakers against the measure cited religion and opposition to adding a class not protected by federal or state law to the city's policy as their reasons.
Speakers in favor of the measure generally spoke about a desire for fairness and equality.
Some of the speakers came from Oklahoma City's suburbs.
The comments made by council members and those who signed up to speak reflected the emotional and polarizing nature of the debate. Shadid likened allowing discrimination against gay people to Adolf Hitler targeting groups for hate in Germany. Pastor Tom Vineyard, of Windsor Hills Baptist Church, cited a New York judge in saying more than half of murders in large cities are committed by gay people.

Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms
In Multiple Sclerosis, weakness usually appears because of the decreased central conduction which succeeds demyelination. Deconditioning itself occasionally causes weakness. Depending on the case, a strengthening program will help bring the muscle back to normality. Even if the muscle is neurologically weakened, it should be stimulated regularly to prevent atrophy.
Your therapist can aid you with strengthening your muscles by providing you with a routine which you can do on your own.
Not only exercise, but also medication can boost nerve conduction. Aminopyridines, potassium channel blockers, allow faster and more efficient transmission in the demyelinated nerves. These chemicals can be found in pharmacies. However, since the FDA did not yet approve the compound, its use is not recommended.

City officials are proposing alterations they say reflect the needs of businesses and visitors of downtown and Centertown, and business people and visitors say they like the plan.
Lisa Jamieson, who works at Old Things, 220 Washington Ave., thought the parking changes would bring more people downtown.
"They're going to feel that sigh of relief where they can spend a little more time here," she said.
Jamieson said there are times when customers ask if they can leave their purchases at the store while they continue to shop, as they want to be sure to cover the entire downtown before their two-hour parking limit is done.
"I think it would (be an improvement)," she said of the proposed changes.
The new ordinance language mimics the citywide overnight parking ban, and it permits the city's traffic engineer to regulate daytime parking by traffic control order.
Still, Jamieson said she is a little concerned about the prospects of more traffic downtown, which might turn some people away due to a lack of spots.
"It's always a two-way street," she said. "You have the good and you have the bad."
The new regulations amend daytime on-street parking limits from two hours to three hours for the following area:
— Both sides of Washington, Harbor Avenue to Fourth Street.
— Both sides of Washington, Sixth Street to Eighth Street.
— Both sides of First, Second and Third streets, from Franklin Avenue to Columbus Avenue.
— Both sides of Seventh Street, from Washington Avenue to Madison Avenue.
The daytime parking restrictions for the following public city lots will also be removed:
— Lot bounded by Washington, Columbus, First and Second streets.
— Lot bounded by Washington, Columbus, Seventh and Beacon.
— Lot bounded by Washington, Franklin, Seventh and Eighth streets.
Anthony Cunningham, who was visiting downtown on vacation from Detroit this week, said he thought the increase would give visitors like him more time to browse downtown shops.
"It will be nice, especially in the summer," he said. "People can grab food or drinks, and then shop for two or three hours without feeling rushed."
City Council approved a first reading of the proposed ordinance changes on Aug. 20, and will be asked to approve final language at a future meeting.

'Django Unchained' Mysteriously Pulled From Chinese Theaters
Despite being the second largest film market in the world after the United States, China still enforces strict censorship laws regarding what can and can't be seen in its cinemas. The latest victim of Chinese censors is Quentin Tarantino's Oscar-winning 'Django Unchained,' which was yanked out of theaters on the first day of its release.
'The Fast and the Furious' Director Will Helm 'Crash Bandits'

One of the big wild cards in 'Iron Man 3' appears to be Ben Kingsley's The Mandarin, a modern update on a politically incorrect comic book villain that most audiences aren't familiar with.

WFP supports Mauritania's most vulnerable and food-insecure populations through a country programme, an emergency operation and two special operations. These interventions aim to save lives and protect livelihoods in response to the ongoing Sahel food security and Malian refugee crises, in addition to reduce risks and build resilience among vulnerable groups. WFP activities have been developed in line with Government plans and integrate national capacity building to address food security, focusing on policies, hand-over strategies and trainings.
WFP's country programme (CP) supports the Government of Mauritania's efforts to address food insecurity and malnutrition through the promotion of sustainable hunger solutions. Programmed for 2012-2016, the operation focuses on food-based social safety nets in the areas of nutrition, education and livelihood support while creating partnerships to advance the Government's Poverty Reduction Strategy. Activities target the nine most vulnerable regions in southern and eastern Mauritania, marked by low school attendance, high food insecurity, malnutrition and poverty. The three components of the CP are:
(i) reduce the prevalence of underweight children and cases of acute malnutrition among children under 5 as well as pregnant and lactating women in vulnerable areas through targeted supplementary feeding and awareness activities;
(ii) improve access to primary education in vulnerable areas through school feeding;
(iii) and reduce risks and build resilience of vulnerable food-insecure groups affected by recurrent climate shocks through village food reserves and productive environmental rehabilitation activities.
In total, the country programme will assist 497,000 people over a five-year period. Of a total budget of US$ 76 million for the full operation, the country programme has received funding of only US$ 3.4 million as of 9 May 2012 and faces a shortfall of 96%.
WFP is responding to the effects of the drought and high food price crisis in Mauritania through an emergency operation. The operation was established based on the government's request for assistance to respond to the crisis via its plan "EMEL" ("hope"), and now covers approximately 56% of the EMEL plan not including WFP assistance to Malian refugees. The programme includes targeted cash transfers in both urban and rural areas, general food distributions in rural areas at the peak of the crisis, support to cereal banks (SAVS), food for assets activities, and the treatment and prevention of moderate acute malnutrition. Given the arrival of refugees from Mali since early February 2012, WFP has also added general food distributions for refugees and host communities to its emergency operation. In total, the operation targets over 620,000 beneficiaries, including more than 58,000 refugees and 30,000 members of host communities of the Hodh El Chargui region. The total funding gap for the emergency operation is US$ 22 million, or 45% of the planned budget through December 2012.
Finally, two special operations support and complement WFP's emergency operation. A regional special operation provides essential logistics augmentation in support of the Sahel Drought Crisis, meeting the immediate transport and storage needs for WFP, as well as the potential needs of the wider humanitarian community. The second special operation established the UN Humanitarian Air Services in Mauritania to provide a safe and reliable air transport service to the humanitarian community due to insecurity in the parts of Mauritania where beneficiaries are located, coupled with the long distances that humanitarian workers must travel to reach these localities. The regional special operation has a funding gap of US$ 4.7 million, or 84% of its total budget for operations through October 2012. Humanitarian air services have been funded at 54% and face a shortfall of US$ 850,000.
To support and enhance food security and nutrition activities along with information sharing, WFP is collaborating with the Food Security Commission and Action Against Hunger-Spain on the development of a national market information system. The EU funded project plans to elaborate upon previous market information analyses and use new technologies such as rapid SMS. Additionally, the project plans to regularly produce information on the availability, accessibility and utilization of food; produce reliable and high-quality information on food security in Mauritania; and provide a thorough analysis and dissemination of food security information through national frameworks.

Do you love this collection?
Will you be collecting all the pieces?
Do share!
6/14/13 9:50 Nadia:
So pretty! I think I might get the quad and the mirror from this collection.
6/14/13 9:51 Sara:
FINALLY! I've been waiting for them to do Ariel so I've held off on buying anything from the previous 2 collections. I'm gonna get the bigger eyeshadow pallete for sure and likely the mirror. I just held off on hauling 2 of the half price eyeliners from Urban Decay to save my makeup budget for this stuff.
6/14/13 10:08 Kimmwc03:
I was awaiting this collection but I'm pretty disappointed in the colors chosen for the quad and the artwork on the cover of the large palette. I also do not like the green chosen for the mirror. Maybe I'm just being too picky. I may pick some items up if they look prettier in store. I'll also have to smell the perfume before I buy. The nail and lipgloss set look nice but I'm not interested.
6/14/13 11:18 diane:
thank you thank you thank you for the sneak peek pics!!! i've been impatiently waiting to see the colors inside the quad! i already ordered and received the storybook palette- stunning is an understatement. will be buying everything since ariel is one of my faves, the mirror is adorable! aahh!! so excited! <3 <3
6/14/13 11:56 Rebecca:
Today I am wearing: Fins, sea shells, and treasures untold. Love it! That nail polish will be mine
6/14/13 12:55 Cindy Ramirez:
I'm so happy they went back to a full palette of eyeshadow, rather then sticking a bronzer and a blush in there too. Makes me happy!
6/14/13 13:09 Tammie:
I WILL get the mirror, duh, and maybe also the lip glosses if they turn out to be nice!
6/14/13 15:50 Alyssa:
I'm really upset with Sephora and the way they handled this launch. I'm a VIB didn't receive an email, and didn't know it was for sale until Monday when I read a blog. I then thought there was something wrong with the site and was going back and forth with customer service because I was unable to purchase it only to find out it was already sold out.
I will be absolutely devestated if I miss the mirror and the quad!! Congrats to the ladies that got a palette.
Apparently they might have more when they release the rest of the collection.
6/14/13 16:32 Sara:
I'd imagine they will have a bunch more when the launch the entire collection. I don't recall the other 2 palettes selling out. I missed out on getting the palette earlier, but I'll just hold off until it's released. I saw it was released, hesistated until I could read a review, and then it was sold out… boo.
6/14/13 22:53 Nicole:
I'm a VIB, and I didn't get an e-mail. I don't think Sephora sent anything out to anybody. I found out from a beauty blog over the weekend. I'm sure the palette will be back in stock soon! It's worth the wait…the palette is stunning!
6/14/13 23:00 dia:
That quad is calling to me!
6/14/13 23:24 Nat:
Kind of off-topic, but Muse have you ever seen the anime version of Little Mermaid from the 1970s? The prince is an utter ass, it's hilarious – and the ending is more true to the original fairy tale.
6/17/13 11:41 Nat:
you can watch it all on youtube (although I think this version is a little bit cut, not the full length):
6/15/13 5:18 Fuu:
I liked Jasmine's more. I'm not loving these colours. I know they are doing classic Disney princesses (hoping Winter is Snow White!!) but I'd really love a Rapunzel palette>Golds, Pinks and Purples with a floral/light fruit perfume.
6/17/13 16:03 Nala:
Rapunzel and Snow White would be awesome! Hoping for Belle, though.
6/15/13 10:52 Butterdaisy:
This is truly the one I've been waiting for. My fave character next to Cinderella, no gold packaging in sight, and gorgeous colors I can work with. Nothing looks washed out at all. I want the polish (of Course), the compact mirror, and the roller ball perfume. The Part of Your World eyeshadow pallet seems nice as well. I LOVE the packaging for all these products.
6/15/13 17:27 Brandy:
Loving the color selection on the quad and storybook eyeshadow sets! As always you are the B.O.M.B!
6/15/13 19:02 Anna:
I love mermaids so much; I have to have the storybook palette. Literally if anything is mermaid related i need it.
6/16/13 7:40 Krystle:
I agree! I've been waiting for the Ariel collection! I'm so excited!!
6/17/13 16:05 Pamela:
Thanks for the preview, Muse. I think this is the only place I've seen the preview for the quad. It looks beautiful but I might just go for the full palette.
I heard a rumor that this is the last princess collection. Have you heard anything? I was hoping for Belle (the nerd princess!).
6/18/13 21:59 Heidi:
I love the colors in that quad!
6/20/13 0:44 Rosalinda:
Ahh I'm so going to get the compact mirror and the quad for sure..I wouldn't mind also getting the palette..Ariel has always been my favorite Disney princess..
7/8/13 15:37 Shayna:
I have the lipgloss set and perfume and I'm not a huge fan of either. The colours of the glosses are very pretty but I find them too difficult to work with (in terms of even coverage). As for the perfume, I'm not a huge fan of the scent, but that's more personal preference :).
7/17/13 21:14 Roxy:
Anyone have a review on the quad? I'm still debating whether I should buy it or not so any input from someone who owns it or has tested it would be greatly appreciated.

Busy travel expected Memorial Day weekend
by Sarah Fay Campbell
By Sarah Fay Campbell firstname.lastname@example.com
This Memorial Day weekend travel season is expected to be the biggest since 2005, according to AAA.
AAA predicts that 36.1 million Americans will travel more than 50 miles during the travel period, which runs from Thursday to Monday. That's a 1.5 percent increase from last year, the second highest number of travelers since 2000, and 2.6 percent higher than the 10-year historical average.
"A long and unusually harsh winter gave many Americans the travel bug," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. "Combine rising temperatures with signs of an improving economy, and travel for the holiday should hit a new post-recession high."
Improvements in several key economic factors are driving the prediction, according to Jenkins. "Consumer spending, disposable income, consumer confidence and the employment outlook are trending up which is welcomed news for the travel industry," he said.
Although more people will be traveling, 57 percent of travelers in the Southeast still need to finalize their travel plans, according to a recent AAA Consumer Pulse survey.
"Hotel and car rental reservations are filling up fast for Memorial Day," said Jessica Brady, spokeswoman for AAA Travel. "Now is the time to make your Memorial Day travel arrangements to ensure you get what you want for the price that fits your budget."
In Georgia, there are expected to be 1 million holiday weekend travelers, with nearly all of them traveling by automobile.
Travelers will likely be seeing slightly lower gasoline prices by next weekend, thanks to rising supplies, according to AAA. The organization expects prices to be similar or slightly lower than last year's national Memorial Day average of $3.63 though, of course, unexpected developments could push prices higher.
The national average fell two cents last week, according to Gas Buddy, and more price relief should be on the way. Refineries have completed their switch to summer blend gasoline, said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst for Gas Buddy.
"The blend costs more to produce, but will likely no longer be the reason for rising prices," DeHaan said. "This should help drive prices down in coming weeks as refineries boost production of summer gasoline and inventories rise."
The Georgia state average price on Friday was $3.634, down from $3.658 a week according, according to AAA's fuelgaugereport.com website.

Grandma's Advice: Leave that Yoga Class. ~ Lindsay Friedman
After a long week of school, work and publishing my own articles to elephant journal as a new intern, I confronted my first mental writing block. I sat at my computer editing articles, thinking of how I can create an original piece of my own.
My roommate walked in the door at 5:50 p.m. and said, "Let's go to yoga, but we have to leave in 10″. I declined, knowing how much homework I had, let alone a pitch to deliver to the elephant crew in the morning. Five minutes later, I reconsidered and we were off.
As we arrived to the yoga studio, we found out that our favorite instructor could not make it and had someone else fill in for her. My roommate Rachel and I were disappointed as we hit the mats, after rushing to make it to class on time.
The relatively new yogi began the class by telling us that her grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday on Friday. She asked her grandmother if she had any pearls of wisdom and her grandmother said, "I have no advice. I learned to not give people advice." The instructor then said, "So everyone, I have no advice for you. Now on to downward dog."
Rachel and I immediately looked at each other, trying to fathom the yogi's intention as we questioned why we even showed up to class.
I came to yoga that night hoping for inspiration and clarity, but my mind was clouded by the tone she set for our time on the mats. Was it that she was not prepared for class and it was the easiest thing to say? Did she want us to guide ourselves from within? What was her intention for the class?
Rachel (who is a yoga teacher) and I desperately tried to enjoy this class. The teacher would say, "We will now go to humble warrior pose. Hold it as you smile. Be gentle and soft, but focused." I didn't get it. For every pose she would advise us how to do the pose for about one long minute. Her advice bothered me. She began the class by telling us she had nothing to offer us, then she couldn't stop offering advice. Or was I just a tad bitter that my favorite teacher did not show up?
I kept peering at Rachel under my arms while in downward dog. We would make faces at each other or would go into child's pose to avoid having to continue our flow to the teacher's voice.
Rachel mouthed to me, "Let's just leave. I want to go" about a dozen times. I would say, "No we can't leave. I'm scared to leave." We went back and fourth for about five minutes, until I caved. I couldn't believe I was about to ditch the last half of class –– which is so not proper yoga class etiquette.
The voice of my grandmother –– who meditates daily and attends her weekly pilates classes –– popped into my mind. She always advises me to listen to my MBS –– mind, body and soul. I went to yoga to find an inner voice and I could not leave unsatisfied. My mind told me to endure the remainder of the class and take it for what it is worth. My body was indecisive. My soul told me to follow my intuition and follow some real advice.
When we were instructed to get on our backs for core strengthening, we saw it was our opportunity to leave without causing a scene. I sat up and pretended I was feeling dizzy. I felt like I needed a better excuse than, 'I can't take another second of being in here.' It was just a little unfortunate that my mat was up front facing the mirrors and next to my teacher. As I folded my mat she sat up with a puzzled look. I motioned that I was feeling sick and dodged straight for the door.
As the door shut we laughed with a rush of adrenalin. How rude of us… But suddenly my mind was clear.
Listen to my mind, body and soul.
The constant mental searching for something to pitch to the elephant crew, the time spent sitting on my computer reading interesting stories and playing on Stumbleupon.com was just the opposite of what I need to be doing. What I needed was to relax and be mindful to what is around me. What I needed was to recognize that a story does not need to be some momentous event, but just a refreshing moment of listening to your MBS.
Thanks, Grandma.

Glad that you are my yoga partner in crime Love the article!
Hi Lindsay!
Thanks for sharing! Wow – I can't imagine leaving mid-way through a class! What feeling do you think you left with the teacher and the other students? It doesn't seem like your teacher was putting anyone in any physical danger. I have been in similar situations, but isn't it really high expectations to think that your yoga teacher is always going to give you the articulation you need/want? I have so many times convinced myself that I was disappointed due to this or that, when in fact I believe it is those types of moments (when things aren't 'obvious') that I have the biggest opportunity to grow by turning inward. Just wanted to share. Thanks for being here! xoxo

Enjoyed reading your story, Lindsay.
I'm wondering about the sentence "We went back in fourth for about five minutes, until I caved."
Did you mean "back and forth"?
Please forgive me for pointing that out but I'm a stickler for typos (if it is one). If it's not a typo, I'm sorry.
I can completely relate. I have been there many times. Lately though I have tried to take a more loving, non-judgemental approach. I'm also a teacher and always tell my students that it's "their" practice I am just there as a guide. I think that is what is so great about yoga that if you have been doing it for awhile you can make it your own and still stay within the boundaries of the experience the teacher is trying to create. Some of those classes I would have liked to have left in the middle have turned out to be a deep yoga experience for me.
I do wish that people would stop having the attitude that the yoga teacher is there to serve them. We are there as guides, make your practice your own.
Wow! you missed an incredible opportunity to get over yourself! As a grandma and yoga teacher, I'd ADVISE you to stay with it next time. You could learn something about being compassionate. Every experience you have is not always about you; it is often an opportunity to teach in a subtle way… guess that comes with maturity, just sayin'.
I'd ADVISE all of us to avoid ALL CAPs.
' The teacher would say, "We will now go to humble warrior pose. Hold it as you smile. Be gentle and soft, but focused." '
What is wrong with that?
I mean if I use the same compassion in reading the instruction above that I used to read your article, it's not bad at all. Actually, I think it is awesome!
So much for making it your practice and surrendering into the postures. Teachers are there to guide you, not to be targets of your judgements. I hope the author took some time to look at her mind state concerning the class, yoga happens on and off the mat. And faking illness in class, not cool. Read the Sutras lately? They start with the Yamas.
I agree with you, Theyogiwarrior! I think there was a whole lot of judging going on. I kept thinking of the Yamas as I read this article, and I kept thinking….No, she won't really leave the Yoga class, will she? I was disheartened at the end, faking your illness, and leaving class, all because you sorely judged the Yoga Teacher. I am not here to point blame, I try and follow the Sutras, so I will just stop here. But, I am glad I am not the only one who had a raised eyebrow concerning this story.
Bob Carocari Yoga is about learning to be comfortable with discomfort ,not getting exactly what you wantDid you think you were in a candy store? .Suck it up,stay in the class and learn how to endure,and not insult someone who is doin the best they can.

Jean Slattery I concur-perhaps if you are unable to turn inward and find the seed of your yoga practice unless you have the "right teacher" saying the "right things" you should take a look at your practice…my guess is the issue isn't the space or the teacher…and I'm not sure how making fun of an instructor embodies the spirit of yoga…

RedLin Murphy No… I paid for the class and my time is important too. I'm going to yoga for my own reasons. And I go 6-7x per week. If the class is awful, I will leave. Then I usually speak to the studio director about why I left– and it's never been a problem. I don't make fun of anyone. But I'm not about to waste 60-90 minutes to be miserable.

Brandi Renee Mell As a yoga teacher, I let go of ego and realize that when people leave, it's NOT about me. All yoga teachers even the most amazing and experienced have seen people leave their class. However, as a yoga student, I would never and have never left a class early. Some of the worst classes have provided me with the best learning opportunities. And I always keep in mind, it's MY practice! If the teacher is not great, still MY practice. If you go deep into yourself, what the teacher is saying should hardly matter. This is the mark of a true yogi.

Kathleen Currie I find this piece offensive on many levels. The spirit of the author of this piece is exactly what I have a problem with in Modern American Yoga. Her attitude of judgement and ego is what fosters competition and division within the greater yoga community. It's incredibly disrespectful to make faces and snicker behind a teachers back –In her own class!–and to then leave class and lie about the reason why! While I have been in class with such juvenile practitioners myself, I am shocked that a well respected publication such as Elephant Journal would then hire such people to gloat about their cattiness in such a public forum. elephantjournal.com, please hold your interns and contributors to a higher standard, for the sake of the integrity of the entire yoga community!

It seems that people are negatively reacting to the intern's negative reaction.
I think that is funny, but also good.
Lindsay, I loved this story . . . . you told it well and kept my attention. I felt as if I was right there on that yoga mat with you. As for the people who feel the need to judge your behavior, I think they are really missing the point. This was a slice of life. Why analyze it?
I expect a yoga teacher to be evolved in her yoga practice. If she is — then she would not let her ego get involved in your action of leaving the class. If she allowed her feelings to get hurt because 2 people walked out — she is not a yogi.
If she was truly centered in herself, why would she care if you walked out?
If she's not centered in herself — why is she teaching yoga?
I loved the irony of how you listened to your grandmother and decided to walk out of the class.
And Lindsay, I hope you will keep writing. I look forward to hearing more from you!

In my opinion, you snarked out. She said she had no advice. Advice would be like," today is all about forgiveness. As we go through the poses we will see that as we move our molecules beg us to forgive. With warrior we stand tall ready to go to war and ready to defend our soul which longs for forgiveness. In warrior 2 we open our body and arms to bare our forgiveness vibes to the universe. In triangle hold firm in your role as a world forgiveness ambassador.. "
OR.. "I believe that we all ought to give up meat and processed foods for one week". Those previous comments would be advice.
She gave softening body energetic instructions, not like body muscular ones," drop the waist, tighten the upper thigh muscles" but she gave instructions for the poses.

College football: Weber hopes to snap losing streak at Cal Poly
San Luis Obispo, Calif. • Life doesn't get any easier for struggling Weber State.
After five straight losses, the Wildcats travel to Cal Poly on Saturday night to play a team smarting from a defeat that knocked it from the national rankings.
The Mustangs come off a 24-10 loss to Yale, which should put them in a foul mood against Weber State.
Last week, the Wildcats visited sixth-ranked Eastern Washington and lost 41-19.
Offensively, Weber State had its most productive outing since a 50-40 win over Stephen F. Austin in the season opener.
The Wildcats, who had scored 22 points in their previous four games, nearly matched that total against Eastern Washington.
Freshman quarterback Anthony Chipoletti completed 17 of 27 passes for 140 yards and one touchdown.
"It was good to see some of our young guys grow up a little bit against a very good team," said coach Jody Sears. "⦠[But] that consistency thing keeps popping its ugly head."
Sears knows the Wildcats must play better to have a chance against Cal Poly.
"They are one of the best rushing teams in the country," he said. "We are going to have our hands full. [Those] boys really have the triple [option] going. ⦠Our guys are going to have to play good ball and grow up."
Weber State at Cal Poly
O At Spanos Stadium (San Luis Obispo, Calif.)
Kickoff • 7:05 p.m. MDT
Records • Weber State 1-5, 0-2; Cal Poly 2-3, 1-0
TV • None. Radio • 1430 AM, 103.1 FM
Series • Weber State leads 5-4
Last meeting • Cal Poly, 45-23 (2012)
About the Wildcats • They have lost five straight after a season-opening win over Stephen F. Austin. ⦠They are 114th in the country in third-down conversions (25.5 percent).
About the Mustangs • They come off a 24-10 loss to Yale in the first game between schools from the Big Sky Conference and the Ivy League. ⦠They have lost to two Football Bowl Subdivision schools, Fresno State (41-25) and Colorado State (34-17).

Check out 20 of the most WTF moments in UFC history
WTF is a 'safe for work' acronym which represents a phrase that is not safe for work. NSFW is a 'safe for work' acronym that is also safe for work. This morning I woke up with the words 'Remember this: It's the Christmas store for adults' written on a piece of paper. That warranted a 'WTF' stare. Apparently yesterday's Zeus wanted to tell future Zeus something ridiculous and incoherent. At some point last night, my desire to convey a message was so great that it needed to exist within this reality in the form of a piece of paper. In retrospect, I'm not sure exactly sure what that means, but I'm assuming 'It's the Christmas store for adults' will somehow cure poverty and put an end to terrorism -- at the same time.
Check out twenty of the greatest WTF moments in UFC history created by our bud, Karim N. It's cool, none of them are NSFW -- or are they? Smh -- or am I?

They had some snapshots blown up to approximately 34-by-18 inches. There are six of them taken at various times in my life. I have since plastered them on my bedroom wall.
My favorite is a group picture of my siblings and cousins, 11 of us in all, which was taken at Higgins Lake when I was about 5 or 6. That means it was taken in about 1940. It's my favorite because it was taken at the happiest time of my life.
During the period from about 1940 until 1946, my father took his vacation at the same time as his three brothers, always at Higgins Lake.
In 1945, life in the United States was of the highest quality that if ever has been. The war was over, soldiers were coming home, everyone had a good job and, most of all, the population was rather sparsely distributed.
Higgins Lake was sparsely occupied and there was plenty of wild shoreline. There were practically no speedboats on the lake because people simply didn't own them.
The lake was pristine and clear. One could see fish on the bottom in 20 or more feet of water.
I remember going fishing with my uncle on what we called The Cut, which is a trout stream between Houghton and Higgins lakes where one of them empties into the other. I don't remember catching any fish, but I was impressed with the beauty of the stream itself. I was only about 11 or 12, but I was awestruck by the pristine quality of the stream itself.
I remember the drive up there from Saginaw. It was before expressways, of course, and we would meet a car every 10 minutes or so.
My dad stopped going to Higgins Lake in about 1946. I haven't been back there since. I don't think I want to go back for I'm sure it is nothing like I remember and I don't want to see the changes.
I'm sure that the citizens of Higgins Lake are proud of their current community, but I don't care to see the changes make in the 60 or more years since I have been there.
I read about people conducting campaigns to remove beer cans from various rivers and streams lately. I don't think I would want to see what The Cut looks like now.
The same thing is happening here. The population is growing too fast. My wife will not travel on Beacon Boulevard except early on Sunday morning.
I avoid it, too, and take Ferry Street or Sheldon Road instead of Beacon. I'm not alone. Many of the locals take those streets when traveling north or south for various errands because Beacon is just too darn hectic.
It's going to get much worse. The local politicians want to keep their boulevard, and it is nice and pretty, but I'm afraid they are going to lose their fight to keep it because the traffic is just going to be overwhelming. The bypass is going to do little to alleviate the situation.
I read in one of the e-magazines that the current generation of young adults (i.e., the children of the baby boomers) will not have as plush a life as their parents on the average. I hate to think what sort of life is in store for the current batch of infants.
I'm glad that I'm going to check out relatively soon because I don't want to see what sort of life it will be in 50 or more years. Maybe something will be done about the traffic, but I doubt it and I don't want to see it.
The problem isn't only with traffic. California and the Southwest is having trouble finding enough water and no solution is apparent. This is going to affect the entire population since many of our foods are grown in California.
Saginaw, where I grew up, has also changed dramatically in the past 65 years — and not for the better, in my estimation. The old orchard where we used to play and build "forts" is now a massive church, the golf course where I learned to play bad golf is now a shopping center, and the woods where we used to hunt frogs is now obliterated and replaced with houses. Grabner's dairy farm is now a Holiday Inn and a subdivision.
Ferrysburg, where I now live, is much like Saginaw was when I was a boy. I love it, but I hate to see what it will look like 65 years from now, and I'm glad that I certainly won't.
I agree with Thomas Wolfe, who wrote "You Can't Go Home Again."

Oshima Nagisa (Kyoto, 1932-2013)
Born in Kyoto and a graduate of Kyoto University, Oshima was a
leader of the leftist, Shochiku New Wave of young directors who
were inspired by French cinema in the 1960's. Within the movie industry,
he was always a strong supporter of the freedom of expression and
a critic of the commercialism of Hollywood and Japanese cinema.
In Japan, his most popular film was Night and Fog in Japan (Nihon no Yoru to Kiri, 1960), a critical look at the left-wing
in Japan.
He is best known abroad for three films: the controversial
French-produced In the Realm of the Senses (Ai no Korida, 1976), a study of sexual obsession based on a
true story; its 1978 sequel Empire of Passion (Ai no Borei), which won the best director award at Cannes; and
1983's prisoner of war drama Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
In keeping with his criticism of censorship and the theme of the movie, Oshima insisted that In the Realm of the Senses
feature unsimulated sex. For that reason, the film had to be sent to France to be processed. Japanese audiences have
been unable to this day to see an uncensored version of the movie.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence was an unusual film, not only because it was a joint Japanese-British production, but its main stars were better known for their work in other fields. Sakamoto
Ryuichi and David Bowie were established musical superstars with a shared taste for acting and the avant-garde, while the up-coming Kitano
Takeshi was one of Japan's most irreverent comedians. Kitano, of course, would go on to become a leading movie director in his own right. Also starring
British actor Tom Conti, the film was based on the novel The Seed and the Sower by Laurence Van Der Post and the music was composed by Sakamoto.
It is the story of two British officers in a Japanese POW camp
and the complex relationships that develop between them and their
gaolers. The prisoner's battle for survival becomes a battle of
contrasting philosophies and willpower as the Japanese try to
break their spirit.
The next decade saw the release of Max, Mon Amour with an all-European cast, and Oshima doing more work in Japan,
including two films and regular appearances on TV variety shows. Following a stroke in 1996, he cut back his workload drastically.
He returned with the period piece Taboo (Gohatto), which appeared in the Venice Film Festival in 1999 and reunited him with Kitano and Sakamoto.
He suffered two further strokes which left him unable to return to film making.
Oshima died of pneumonia on January 15, 2013.
Oshima's younger sister Eiko was also a producer on several of his films, including Dear Summer Sister
(Natsu no Imoto, 1972) and Taboo. She also worked with him as an actress, appearing in The Catch (Shiiku, 1961).

Disc Golfing in the U.S.A.
Golf discs used today are much smaller and heavier than traditional flying discs, 8 or 9 inches in diameter and weighing between 129 and 180 grams. There are a variety of discs used in disc golf and they are generally divided into three categories: putters, all-purpose mid-range discs, and drivers. Putters are comparable to the discs used in simple games of catch, such as the Wham-o brand Frisbee. They are designed to fly in a straight line, true to form, and very gradually compared to mid-range discs and drivers. They are used for tight, controlled shots that are close to the basket, although some players use them for tiny drives where trees or other obstacles come into play. Usually a pro carries 1-7 putters depending on their flight individuality. Disc golf is a sport I have been reading a lot about and hope to someday make disc golf something more familiar to my friends and family so we can all play together.
