Mermaid Tattoos & Mermaid Tattoo Designs
Mermaid tattoos have had a long and symbolic history in both Western and Oriental myth. Nearly ever culture that has lived near the ocean has presented some sort of tale about the mysterious women on the water.
For the Greeks and Romans, mermaids were beautiful creatures who lived near rocks at the shore.
They would sue their beautiful songs to lure unwitting sailors to their deaths. Mermaids are most known today because of reports from sailors of sightings. While this is more likely attributable to fatigue and the fact that women were typically not allowed on ships, the belief and mythology has flourished.
Sailors would commonly get mermaid tattoo designs in respect for the beautiful and mythical creatures that they often thought they saw. But sailors are always wary of them because the belief remains that their songs are able to bring an entire crew to their death by causing their ship to crash against the rocks.

Most of the symbolism that is found in mermaids today spawns from the ancient Greek belief that mermaids were the result of unions between Gods and sea creatures. Mermaids have always been closely tied to the Goddess of love Aphrodite (Venus to the Romans). Mermaids are said to signify feminine beauty and fertility. They are usually represented with long flowing hair which symbolizes abundant love potential. This is ironic because nearly all mythology involving sailors with mermaids will usually end in tragedy with the death of the sailor.
Today in nearly every culture mermaids are known for their ability to lure sailors to their death. But it is their beauty that continues to make them beloved and treasured mythological creatures.
Mermaid Tattoo Designs truly are a special and unique types of tattoo.
Mermaids are very popular tattoos among women and sailors for the represent both feminine beauty and the perils and wonders of the sea. Traditionally the common place for a sailor to get a mermaid tattoo was on his forearm, much like they way in which some men would get images of popular pinup girls.
Mermaids allow for a great deal of diversity in design, color and size. Most mermaids are done in colors because their fin, hair and ocean home make for bright colorful tattoos. Women will often get the tattoos done on their back, arms or ankles. While many men will go for the typical location of the forearm or the legs are a popular choice as well.
For men it is important to note that many mermaid tattoos can be a bit raunchy and therefore not well received by many women, which is something to consider if you have a significant other. On the other hand mermaid tattoos can be very sweet and romantic. A popular version is a mother mermaid with her infant child encircled in her arms and fin, which is a popular option by new fathers to represent the love they have for their wife and child.
If you are looking to get a typical sailor's tattoo, then the tattoo should incorporate other nautical themes. Many sailors with mermaid tattoos with incorporate anchors, ships or extravagant representations of the water. This was a common way to show one's dedication to the beauty and power of the ocean.
Celebrities with Mermaid Tattoos
Mermaids are also popular tattoo designs among celebrities. Musician and model Samantha Fox has a mermaid tattoo on her butt while Christina Ricci has hers on her left ankle. British television presenter Fearne Cotton has an old school 50's pin up girl style mermaid on her lower back.
Mermaids, despite appearing very feminine are popular tattoos among both men and women and can have a variety of different meanings for the person wearing them.

BetterBirth Doula and Midwife Training
Click here to see what our students are saying about their training experiences with us.
NOTE: We have partnered with the Community School of Midwifery in Utah to provide their students with exceptional clinical training and experience. CSM students receive their academics through on-campus education (with the option of distance education). During the course of their academic training, they do several placements with our clinical program. For more information on the Community School of Midwifery, see their website or call 801 882-7484 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. CSM students should keep in mind that BetterBirth will not be providing all clinical experiences required for graduation or NARM certification. Students will still have to obtain experiences with other preceptors. We expect to also have clinical blocks available to non-CSM students. If you are interested, place yourself on our waiting list and we will contact you as space becomes available.
BetterBirth offers high intensity, accelerated programs that will help you become an excellent doula or midwife. Midwife programs are based on the North American Registry of Midwives requirements to obtain the Certified Professional Midwife credential. In addition to the prenatal, labor and delivery, postpartum, and newborn experiences required for NARM, we teach, assess, and sign off skills in the Practical Skills Guide for Midwifery and NARM's Comprehensive Skills, Knowledge, and Abilities Essential for Competent Midwifery Practice Verification Form 201.
We offer two programs through which students may receive training: Workshop Week and the Clinical Program. We also offer CPR (via American Red Cross) and neonatal resuscitation (via the Helping Babies Breathe course of the American Academy of Pediatrics) classes. Our cardiopulmonary and neonatal resuscitation classes are accepted by the State of Utah for licensure as a Direct-Entry Midwife and by the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) for the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential. Please direct questions to email@example.com.
Workshop Week
This program is designed for midwifery students who want to take advantage of our amazing Workshop Week to learn and sign off skills, but do not want (or are not able) to stay longer and obtain clinical experiences. It is a jam-packed, 6-day, 8+-hour-a-day week of skills training on the most often-requested and difficult-to-acquire skills for student midwives. Workshop Week remains open to all midwifery students, including CSM and others around the country.View Workshop Week Classes
After you satisfactorily complete Workshop Week, we can sign off many skills on your NARM Form 201 or Practical Skills Guide. School-specific skills forms may also be signed.
During Workshop Week you and the other students will be practicing skills (including vaginal exams, catheterization, venipuncture, injections, IV placement, etc.) on each other. This is a requirement. We know it's not fun to have a midwifery student practice her first IV or urinary catheter on you. She feels the same way about you practicing on her. But neither of you will master your skills if you don't allow the other to practice. It is also important to understand how clients feel when you are performing skills on them. You really get a good sense of it when it's your turn to receive those procedures. If you are unwilling to practice on other students or have them practice on you, please e-mail us at email@example.com before you apply.
We have limited housing available at the training site on a first-come first-served basis for Workshop Week students including kitchen facilities. Cook your own meals and save! There is no need to rent a car (unless you want to or are staying off-site). If you are flying in, we recommend you contact Express Shuttle for transportation to and from the airport.
Workshop Week Dates
Planned Workshop Week sessions for 2015 are as follows:
February 23-28, 2015
March 22-28, 2015
April 12-18, 2015
May 10-16, 2015

October 4-10, 2015
October 25-31, 2015
November 15-21, 2015
December 13-19, 2015
We accept a maximum of 6 students for any Workshop Week. See our Calendar to see if there is space available on the dates you intend to come, and use our Application to apply. For cost and refund information, see our Tuition page.
Clinical Program
In our clinical program you will gain experience in both the home and birth center settings under the tutelage of several outstanding midwives. We practice according to the midwives model of care, and our goal is to make every birth a great experience for the family involved. We express our gratitude to the families who are willing to help our students by keeping their quality of care our number one priority.
We midwife clinical placements to enable students to practice the skills they have learned and to obtain clinical experiences required for DONA, CAPPA and NARM certification. During placements we try to get you signed off on as many skills as possible. There are three placement tracks: Doula, Midwife Assistant Under Supervision (AUS) and Midwife Primary Under Supervision (PUS). Students in the Doula Track attend births as a doula of clients who have chosen to have that service. Students in the Midwife Assistant Under Supervision (AUS) Track attend clinic and assist with prenatal and postpartum visits, and assist at births in both of our birth centers as well as at home. Students in the Midwife Primary Under Supervision (PUS) Track attend clinic where they assist with and lead prenatal and postpartum visits, and assist at and manage births in our birth centers as well as at home. About half of our deliveries are for clients on our midwife program, and primary track students should not expect to serve in the role of primary at these births (or at their associated prenatal and postpartum visits), although they are expected to assist even if they don't "need" the experience for NARM. Our primary track students serve as primary under supervision for the other half of our clients who have signed up for our student program. (We reserve the right to change primary assignments depending on our client load and the qualifications of the students.) Midwifery Track (not Doula Track) students must have completed a Workshop Week prior to their placement.
The number of clients who deliver with us varies from month to month. In addition, the number of clients who transfer for one reason or another also varies. Therefore, we do not guarantee any particular number or types of experiences during your stay, but we will try very hard to get you what you need. You are welcome to contact our Student Director (firstname.lastname@example.com) to find out how many clients are due during your placement.
Limited housing is available at our Orem location on a first-come first-served basis for students only (not for families).
See our Calendar for the dates on which clinical placements and workshop weeks are scheduled, and use our Midwifery Track Application or Doula Track Application to apply. For cost and refund information, see our Tuition page.
Things You Should Know
Keeping Up With The Schedule: Our program is intensive, and designed to get you skills and experiences as quickly as possible while making you an outstanding doula or midwife. You must be prepared to work very hard while you are here, and are expected to attend every clinic schedule and birth to which you are called. We reserve the right to not sign off skills, workshops, or experiences we do not feel you have satisfactorily completed. Once your clinical placement begins, you will be on-call 24/7 until it ends.
Bringing Families: If you are coming from out of town and intend to bring your family with you during your clinical placement, be aware that you must arrange housing for them. We can help you, but ultimately finding and paying for it are your responsibility. We are happy to recommend the following hotels in the area:
- Silver Mountain Suites (Provo, UT)
We will expect you to make your program responsibilities top priority while you are here.
Personal Transportation: If you enroll in our Clinical Program, you must have a car at your disposal at all times during your placement. You can expect to travel an average of 75 miles per day, although this can vary.
Coming Back: You must attend a Workshop Week prior to your first midwifery placement (assistant or primary) at BetterBirth. If you choose to return for more clinical experience, you need not repeat Workshop Week.
Do we break for holidays? We do not hold Workshop Week over major U.S. holidays, but clinical terms are held regardless of holidays. While we do not generally see clients for routine visits on holidays, babies are born every day of the year. Because of the tight nature of our schedules, postponements for holidays would negatively affect other placements and result in the loss of important birth experiences for you. Be sure to check the calendar carefully before applying for a placement that occurs over holidays that you must be absent for, and do not apply for that placement.

Hello. I'll explain my problem in few words.
I need to create a form to make a test from the admin interface. There's only one test. Users must to take the test and all their answers must to be save in the DB.
Questions in the test are all dropdown. They have a description and a set of options. Options have a value and a description. The value of each option is unique within all values (autoincrement id in the database). To save the answer I have to make the bean for the form, so it would be something like a class with UserId and AnswerSet
My classes would look something like this:
public class Question extends ActionForm{
private String description;
private List
public class Option extends ActionForm{
private int value;
private String description;
public class UserTest extends ActionForm{
private int UserId;
private List
I know how to make the form to the make the test from the user interface. What I don't know is how to make the jsp page to display the needed form and how to get the information in the Action so I can save the users' answers in the model.
It's very importan for me to make this so if you need additional information to answer this topic please ask me and I'll answer as fast as I can.

Katrina Bowden (Feb 13th, 2009)
Katrina Bowden's completed her smooth, side-parted hairstyle with a delicate headband.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Work a dime-size amount of lightweight styling lotion onto damp hair and blow dry two-inch sections straight with a paddle brush.
Step 2: Mist a one-inch vertical section of hair with styling spray. Avoiding the top half, wrap the section around a large curling iron, directing the curl away from your face. Hold for a few seconds to set the curl and then release and repeat until all hair is done.
Step 3: Lightly coat your fingers with shine serum and run through your hair to break up the curl. Mist with hairspray to lock in your look.

EDMONTON — There is a surety about geese flying that humans admire.
While waiting to catch a ferry at Puget Sound, poet David Whyte saw a gaggle of geese shoot up into the sky. It was an astounding sight and, seeing them, a collective sigh went over the crowd. The birds, with each set of wing beats, formed a faultless V, and were soon flying high on a strong current, in perfect formation.

He wanted to be a millionaire by age 33 but the Holy Spirit had a different plan for Robert Canton. Instead, the Lord wanted him to travel the world and heal millions in God's name.
To accomplish his mission, the Lord gave him the gifts of prophecy, tongues and healing. He also gives him daily revelations. Since 1991 Canton, now an international leader in the charismatic renewal, has travelled to 41 countries preaching the word.
OTTAWA — Two Catholic organizations have blasted International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda's decision to grant the International Planned Parenthood Federation $6 million in new funding.
In an Oct. 4 letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Bishop Gerald Wiesner of Prince George, chairman of the board of the Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF), expressed dismay that "the world's largest abortion provider and promoter" would receive a CIDA grant over the next three years.
Father Bob Bedard, the Ottawa priest who founded the Companions of the Cross more than 25 years ago, died peacefully Oct. 6 at the age of 82 after a long illness.
Bedard not only founded the charismatic order that has grown to include 40 priests, six religious sisters and hundreds of lay associates in Ottawa, Toronto, Halifax, Detroit and Houston, he was one of the leaders in the charismatic renewal movement and the popular host of the television program Food for Life for many years.
VANCOUVER — Strong families establish strong vocations. That was the message of Archbishop Michael Miller during the recent Altar Server Awards at Holy Rosary Cathedral.
"The first steps are taken at home," the archbishop said during his homily.
In a time when municipalities are weeding religion out of public places, the City of Edmonton has taken a different approach, encouraging understanding of all spiritual traditions, and giving thanks for the city's many faith expressions.
Each month a different faith launches an educational event to showcase its tradition. Displays depicting various faiths are rotated on a regular basis in City Hall.
MUNICH — St. Francis of Assisi appeals to believers and nonbelievers alike because they long for a world where people see each other as brothers and sisters, said the superior of the Franciscan convent in Assisi.
Conventual Franciscan Father Giuseppe Piemontese, custodian of the Sacred Convent of St. Francis, also said humanity yearns for a world where creation is respected as a gift to all.
Adam and Eve recently made an appearance on U.S. National Public Radio — not as guests, but as the topic of a discussion about their existence.
Morning Edition, a regular National Public Radio series, examined the current debate among evangelical Christians over whether the first couple actually lived or are characters in a Bible story that makes a point about God and his creatures.
REGINA — Senator Lillian Eva Quon Dyck's heritage is aboriginal and Chinese. Throughout her life she has fought discrimination and racism to achieve distinction as a university professor and appointment to the Canadian Senate in 2005.
Dyck told her story at the Luther Lecture Sept. 26 at Luther College, University of Regina.
When the Development and Peace controversy came to a head last spring with the cancellation of Father Luis Arriaga's talks in Ottawa, Michael Casey soon found himself taking fire from all sides.
As the executive director of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CCODP), Casey faced outraged reaction from his own employees and an online fight by lay supporters, who launched several blogs in French and English.

Jean Guesdon, the creative director currently working on Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, says that he and his team are excited to play the coming Grand Theft Auto V from Rockstar and Watch Dogs, the title created by another team at Ubisoft.
But the developer also believes that his own game can offer an experience that both titles, based in modern or near future worlds, lack.
He is quoted by The Official Xbox Magazine that,. "both of their universes offer something fresh and different! But when it comes to what we're doing, we believe our promise and setting are very different from both of those games."
Black Flag is piracy themed and will expand the naval battle elements that were introduced in the third full game in the series while also giving players missions set in the towns of the Caribbean.

|The Game Story:
|CHICOPEE, MA � The No. 7 Rutgers University men�s soccer team fell, 4-3, to Massachusetts Sunday evening at Szot Park in its final tune-up before the regular season opener Friday against the top ranked Hoosiers. Massachusetts junior Jeff Deren broke a 3-3 tie with less than six minutes remaining, netting his third goal of the match to capture the win. Scarlet Knight freshman Steve Loverso (Warwick, NY) registered what would have been the tying score, but the goal was ruled after the final whistle, giving Massachusetts the victory.
The Minutemen opened the scoring when Deren notched his first of three goals in the match. Sophomore back Rory Fitzgerald (Middletown, NJ) answered, netting his first goal of the preseason for the Scarlet Knights. Fitzgerald connected off a pass from sophomore Anthony Schiavino (North Hunterdon, NJ) to even the score in the 38th minute.
Just before halftime, Deren scored his second goal off a feed from Ptah Myers to give the Minutemen a 2-1 lead into the half. Massachusetts forward Yuri Morales opened up a two goal lead, scoring in the 49th minute.
Junior midfielder Josh Gros (Mechanicsburg, PA) brought the Knights within a goal, recording his second goal of the preseason for Rutgers. Gros scored off a penalty kick in the 75th minute.
Rutgers evened the score for the second time in the contest as junior forward Sherif El Bialy (Cairo, Egypt) netted his second goal of the preseason for the Knights, connecting on a free kick at the 79:11 mark to tie the match at three goals a piece.
Deren scored in the 85th minute off a pass from Derek Rhodes to lift Massachusetts to the 4-3 victory.
Senior goalkeeper Ricky Zinter (Penfield, NY) started the contest, notching three saves for the Scarlet Knights. Junior keeper Scott Conway (Aston, PA) played the entire second period between the posts, recording one save. Massachusetts goalkeeper Colin Burns collected six saves in the game, while Enzo Altomare recorded two.
The Scarlet Knights, playing without the services of senior tri-captains Guy Abrahamson (Livingston, NJ), David Boutilier (Sparta, NJ), Todd Moser (Fanwood, NJ) and sophomore Gustavo Mora (Asuncion, Paraguay) due to injury, managed 23 shots to Massachusetts� 13.
Rutgers will open its regular season Friday, Aug. 30, when they travel to Bloomington, IN to face No. 1 Indiana at 7:30 p.m. in the adidas/Indiana Tournament. As part of the weekend tournament, the Scarlet Knights will also play Butler on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 5:30 p.m.

Cosmopolis Teaser Trailer Online
Robert Pattinson stars in a typically bonkers Cronenberg project.
Now that Twilight is over and done with, Robert Pattinson has begun the process of branching out from sparkly vampire roles, and pops up in the teaser for David Cronenberg's latest film, Cosmopolis.
It's absolutely bananas, as you would expect from the Canadian director, featuring Pattinson as a young billionaire, who is haunted by paranoid delusions which may or may not be completely in his mind. The 30 second trailer shows plenty of Cronenberg hallmarks - body horror, bizarre sexuality and weird, fleshy creatures. He spends the majority of the time stuck in his limo, which is gridlocked in extreme manhattan traffic.
We're intrigued by this, and wonder how Pattison fans feel about this rather extreme change of direction, post-Twilight? There's no sign of a release date just yet, but we are very interested to see the final film, which also stars Paul Giamatti, Jay Baruchel, Sarah Gaydon and Samantha Morton.

Flaming Lips
The Flaming Lips and Sean Ono Lennon Cover the Beatles on 'Letterman'
All week long, CBS' 'The Late Show with David Letterman' has been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America with other musicians performing their songs. Last night, it was the Flaming Lips' turn, and they brought along a friend with a personal connection to the band, John Lennon's son, Sean Ono Lennon, on 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.'
Bob Dylan Isn't 'Trying Very Hard' These Days, Says Indie-Rock Star
Bob Dylan has entered the "rock 'n' roll statesman" phase of his career, in which just about every album he releases is showered with critical praise right out of the gate. But Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne sees Dylan's recent output a little differently.
Flaming Lips Cover Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'
Although they have a deserved reputation as one of indie rock's weirdest bands, the Flaming Lips have a classic rock heart. Literally. Just in time for Valentine's Day, they have released a limited edition 15-song mix, 'Songs of Love,' which closes with a cover of the Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love.'

Alicia Keys is more conscious of what she says than she used to be.
The soulful singer has faced public scrutiny for her relationship with rapper husband Swizz Beatz. Alicia recently publicly denied that she started dating him while he was still married to his former wife singer Mashonda Tifrere.
When she started in the industry Alicia had a reputation for being outspoken, but as she's aged she's realised she can keep some things to herself.
'I absolutely still speak the truth as I see it, but the things I say are scrutinised,' Alicia told Q magazine. 'Before, I would blurt out whatever I felt, now, I'm more conscious of how to construct my words, but I will always speak the truth.'
Alicia married Swizz in Corsica last July and their son Egypt was born last October. She is focussing on her family at the moment, but still finds time for creative endeavours.
The 30-year-old has acted in films The Secret Life of Bees opposite Queen Latifah and The Nanny Diaries with Scarlett Johansson, but doesn't consider herself to be either a singing actress or an acting singer.
'I'm an artist,' she insisted. 'Artists can do it all. They can sing, write, direct, act and be beautiful photographers.
Barbra Streisand and Gordon Parks inspire me in their artistic diversity.'

After being silent for a while (after that collab I did with my friend that sounded soooo good with all the extra sounds and engineering and exquisite sound mastering on his part - eeeep!), I wrote three songs in three days :)
The first is a weird text I wrote stream-of-consciousness, almost unconsciously, I think it's about shitty childhoods and long winters spent waiting to get older.
The second, I wrote and recorded in 20 minutes, cause I had no more time to do it and I really wanted to do it, but you can totally hear it's a rushed project, I wrote after reading creepy white guy. There were things I had to testify of :)
And then the third one, that I just finished, is a text I wrote in my Big Wisdom Year of 2011, where I vowed to learn patience and observation. I always wanted to make a song with this text but it never worked, until today, where I had this text in mind all day long and felt the need to do a song with it. Also I needed to be very vocal?!
Maybe tomorrow a fourth song will come out of me?
Oh I want to add something, a recommendation of a blog: London Lotta. I used to follow Charlotta's livejournal way back (probably around ten years ago). She became a journalist and a writer, and her blog is just so pleasant to read. She recently wrote a post about her anxiety and depression, which was so honest, well written and inspiring...

Enya is Not Cool.
Above, Waylon's iTunes Enya list, finally exposed.
Yesterday, the elephant staff sat in the back sunroom of Waylon's downtown Boulder home—ad manager Lindsey Block, two interns, Waylon and I—when there was a knock at the door.
Only a few minutes before, Waylon's iTunes had been blasting 80s ballads, his favorite late-afternoon work music. (Just wait until 4:30 rolls around and his top three shirt buttons spontaneously pop open while he sings along to "Eye of the Tiger.") But the shuffle had decided to switch to…Enya, all of us too absorbed in our work to notice.
Lindsey went to the door to let Jean, a prospective intern, in, and Waylon snapped to attention. He joked, "Oh no! I've got to find something cooler for us to be listening to."
We giggled. A short pause. Then Matas, our resident hipster-i'm-not-a-hipster/music authority intern, said softly, "I sort of like Enya…"
Another pause. It was my turn to speak up. I had suddenly been feeling so much more…relaxed. "Me too," I admitted.
One by one, we were nodding in agreement. We all, secretly, loved Enya.
It's true. I own an Enya album. Except it's saved in my iTunes under "Artist Unknown." Waylon, more ironicly, has Enya saved under "Enya is Not Cool."
Enya. She's like a soft wave crashing onto the sand. A storm-filled sky over the Scottish moors. Like lovers having make-up sex in moonlight, while weeping on each other. (Waylon offered that last image, but it turns out that everyone has his or her own—search Enya on youtube and you'll find montages of horses, budding flowers, anime superheroes battling evil.)
Personally, Enya reminds me of summer drives to the public pool. She was perpetually playing in my mom's tape deck. And of Ted, the first guy in my high school (ever) to come out of the closet. He walked the halls with Enya in his discman because it made him "feel calm," which I always sort of respected.
Enya is not cool. But chances are, you kinda like her.
Go ahead. Admit it.

Nope I don't "sort of like her" I love her…no really I love her music , why are we so adamant about not loving something peaceful and relaxing? Now I have to admit that in my yoga classes you will almost always here an enya song…Of course you might also hear the beetles, the stones, jimi hendrix, billy joel, chopin, dave stringer, krishna das…and some other slightly varied types of music… Enya is awesome….it's OK to love calm and beautiful as well as "cool" (although I'm not sure I can see "eye of the tiger as cool – campy maybe but cool??? hard to swallow)
to everything a season turn turn….enya may be the perfect music at certain times while metallic might be more appropriate at others —- like people all music has it's place and purpose stop the mindless judging and just accept and enjoy
marete, can you please explain why enya is 'not cool'? i don't get it. if you like it, it's cool to you, no? tah!
I love Enya too and I'm not ashamed to admit it!!!
I love Enya and I'm not ashamed!!
I will admit I enjoy the occasional Enya.
"Eye of the Tiger"?! Really, Way?
"Backwards couple skating only……grab a partner!"
I think this whole topic was covered well by the first season of South Park, was it not? 😉
(ok, ya… but I still might have some Enya in my playlist *blush*)
I have also always loved Enya's music. I am not ashamed to admit it either!
You were listening to Enya when you were visiting here in Virginia, Waylon. Had a known that Enya was not cool I would told you how much I like her. I like to think I'm incredibly un-cool. Now you've got me questioning myself!
"Eye of the Tiger"???? Gag!!!!!!!! ;0)
Hello there, You've performed a great job. I?ll definitely digg it and for my part suggest to my friends. I'm sure they will be benefited from this site.

Tales of the Cocktail Coming to Vancouver
For eight years Tales of the Cocktail has been bringing cocktail aficionados, from around the world, to New Orleans. What began as a small gathering of cocktail enthusiasts and professionals has grown to become the premier cocktail festival, serving as an annual meeting place for the world's most influential professionals.
For the first time, this internationally acclaimed cocktail festival is taking its show on the

its growing influence on the world cocktail industry.

incredibly passionate group of bar professionals. All this makes the city an exciting, well
deserving destination for Tales of the Cocktail, the global cocktail event," said Charlotte
Voisey, Brand Ambassador for William Grant & Sons and New Orleans Culinary and

REST in Practice
- Forum 7
So you've read the dissertation from Roy Fielding. You've seen the slides on slideshare. You know everything that you need to know about hateoas and you even know where the term "nein! nein! nein!" comes from. So now it's time to deploy REST into your new API and turns out: it's not as easy as it looks. How do we let someone login? How do we search through collections? And how do we do asynchronous operations? How do we send emails from your API? It's very tempting to fall back to what you know and sooner than later your REST interface is back to a XML-RPC or similar. This talk is not about telling you what REST is: it's about putting REST concepts in practice.

Maccabi Tel Aviv's Lior Eliyahu Traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves
Could another Israeli born player be NBA bound?
By: David Shear
Maccabi Tel Aviv Forward Lior Eliyahu is close to joining his country mate, Omri Casspi in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Eliyahu, who selected 44th overall by the Orlando Magin in 2006, was traded almost immediately to the Houston Rockets. On Tuesday, Eliyahu's rights were traded to the Timberwolves as part of a trade involving Chase Budinger going to the Timberwolves in exchange for the 18th pick in Thursday's NBA draft.
The 26-year-old is now expected to participate in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas where he will have an opportunity to showcase his skills and hopefully become the second Israeli born player in the NBA after Casspi.
Although Eliyahu has three years remaining on his Maccabi contract, he does have an NBA buyout clause and can leave for $500,00 this summer. There is a possibility that the Timberwolves could contribute to Eliyahu's buyout, but it's not expected.
The 6-foot-10, 232-pound Eliyahu averaged 11.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game this season for Maccabi.

The most extensive study of pollutants in marine mammals' brains reveals that these animals are exposed to a hazardous cocktail of pesticides such as DDTs and PCBs, as well as emerging contaminants such as brominated flame retardants.
Eric Montie, the lead author on the study currently in press and published online April 17 in Environmental Pollution, performed the research as a student in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution-MIT Joint Graduate Program in Oceanography and Ocean Engineering and as a postdoctoral fellow at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). The final data analysis and writing were conducted at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida, where Montie now works in David Mann's marine sensory biology lab.
Co-author Chris Reddy, a senior scientist in the WHOI Marine Chemistry and Geochemistry Department, describes the work as "groundbreaking because Eric measures a variety of different chemicals in animal tissues that had not been previously explored. It gives us greater insight into how these chemicals may behave in marine mammals."
The work represents a major collaborative effort between the laboratories of Reddy and Mark Hahn in the WHOI Biology Department, where Montie was a graduate student and post doc, as well as Robert Letcher at Environment Canada. Montie traveled to Environment Canada in Ottawa to learn the painstaking techniques required to extract and to quantify more than 170 different pollutants and their metabolites. He then brought the methods back to WHOI and performed the analyses in Reddy's laboratory. Reddy describes the methods as extremely unforgiving and explains, "This is not making Toll House cookies. The fact that Eric pulled it off so seamlessly is amazing considering that he did this by himself far away from Ottawa."
Montie analyzed both the cerebrospinal fluid and the gray matter of the cerebellum in eleven cetaceans and one gray seal stranded near

Besides proving himself to be a better quarterback than people thought prior to the NFL playoffs, Baltimore Ravens and Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco has showed a personality that nobody had really ever seen. He even made headlines with his poor word choice when asked about a cold-weather Super Bowl being played in his home state. These things happen when you are playing with great confidence. But his confidence might have got the best of him near the end of the Ravens second Super Bowl title, when he was ready to exercise terrible judgement on the last play of the game.
The Ravens had just taken a safety with 4 seconds left, to avoid setting the 49ers up in decent field position to throw a Hair Mary. This left the Ravens in a free kick situation, and the 49ers needing a return for a TD to win the game. Flacco, obviously tasting victory, was ready to do whatever was necessary to keep Tedd Ginn, Jr out of the end zone, even if it wasn't legal.
NFL Films had Flacco mic'd for audio for this year's game, and you can see and hear Flacco recruiting teammates to tackle Ginn Jr if he broke a return along the sideline, before settling on himself to do the dirty work. Here's the transcript:
Flacco: "If he starts to break it, go tackle him."
Pitta: "Really?"
Flacco: "I don't know … what else can … I mean, they might be able to get a touchdown on that, but I don't know."
Sensing he's not getting anywhere with Pitta, Flacco seeks to recruit others for his plan, turning to face center Matt Birk and offensive tackle Michael Oher.
"Hey, if he breaks it, if he busts this for some reason, tackle him; go tackle him … I don't know what the rule is on that, but …"
Birk: "Why can't you?"
Flacco: "I will — I'm going to."
Luckily for Flacco, he didn't have to take matters into his own hands. And that's a really good thing, because if he or anyone left the sideline to make a play, the referee probably would have award a TD to the 9ers, per the NFL Rule Book's Rule 12, Section 3, Article 3:
"Palpably Unfair Act. A player or substitute shall not interfere with play by any act which is palpably unfair. Penalty: For a palpably unfair act: Offender may be disqualified. The Referee, after consulting his crew, enforces any such distance penalty as they consider equitable and irrespective of any other specified code penalty. The Referee may award a score."
Still a great soundbite, though. Almost as good as Belichick telling the Patriots to let Manning throw the ball to Manningham.

Supreme Court hears psychologists on prison, video game cases
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on two cases in which psychologists provided testimony. In one, the court ordered the state of California to release 46,000 prisoners to relieve overcrowding that makes providing constitutionally mandated physical and mental health care for prisoners impossible. In the other, the court sided with First Amendment-rights proponents in ruling that fining shops for selling violent video games to minors is unconstitutional.
On May 23, in Brown v. Plata, the court ruled 5-4 to uphold an earlier ruling that California reduce its prison population in order to be able to provide its prisoners with adequate medical and mental health care.
APA and several other mental health organizations, including the American Psychiatric Association and California Psychological Association, submitted an amicus brief supporting the relief of prison overcrowding. The brief argued that overcrowding seriously obstructs mental health workers' ability to provide adequate care for mentally ill prisoners and that overcrowding may exacerbate existing mental illnesses or even induce mental illness in susceptible people. In the majority opinion, the justices cited the testimony of Craig Haney, PhD, a social psychologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who toured several California prisons to assess overcrowding and staffing. Haney testified that prison mental health workers are too overburdened to provide adequate care to inmates, which not only harms prisoners but also endangers the public once those prisoners are released.
"When prisons are unduly painful, they become harmful and the system begins to break down and fail," Haney says. "Prisoners can carry the consequences of that harm back out into the free world once they're released. I was very gratified to see the Supreme Court embrace that concept."
On June 27, in Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association, the court ruled 7-2 to reverse a 2005 California law that fined stores $1,000 for selling violent video games to minors, arguing that doing so violated storeowners' First Amendment rights. Psychologists weighed in on both sides of the argument. Some, such as Iowa State University psychologist Craig Anderson, PhD, argued that violent video games increase aggressive thoughts and behaviors, especially in young boys, and therefore are a serious enough health hazard to overrule video games' status as free speech. Others, such as Texas A&M International University psychologist Chris Ferguson, PhD, countered that the research thus far is inconclusive and that previous studies suffer from methodological flaws. (For a full report on the debate, see "Virtual Violence" in the December Monitor.
APA declined to submit an amicus brief due to the lack of scientific consensus on the effects of video game violence, though it did pass a resolution in 2005 expressing concern over the potential link between violent video games and violent behavior and encouraging increased media literacy for children so they can better understand virtual violence in context.
