Then she went off to college in Boston.
A few years later, she had dropped out of school, converted to Islam and was Katherine Tsarnaeva, wife of a man who would become a suspect in the deadly Boston Marathon bombings and a subject of one of the biggest manhunts in American history.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, two ethnic Chechen brothers from southern Russia, are accused of planting two shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon finish line last week, killing three people and injuring more than 200. Tamerlan was killed in a getaway attempt after a gunbattle with police. Dzhokhar, who was captured hiding in a tarp-covered boat outside a house in a Boston suburb and is hospitalized, was charged Monday with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill. Authorities have not released a motive, but two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to publicly discuss the investigation, told The Associated Press that evidence suggests the brothers were motivated by a radical brand of Islam.
Tsarnaeva, 24, has avoided the public eye since her identity became known Friday. On the rare occasions when she has emerged from her parents' Rhode Island home, she is dressed in the traditional Muslim headscarf, a hijab, and has refused to answer questions.
Those who know her and knew her husband describe her as sweet and dedicated to Islam.
Tsarnaeva grew up with two younger sisters on a quiet cul-de-sac in North Kingstown, a rural, wooded town a 90-minute drive south from the apartment she would eventually share in Cambridge, Mass., with her husband and his family. Her father, Warren Russell, is an emergency doctor whose Facebook profile lists his high school alma mater as the elite New Hampshire boarding school Phillips Exeter Academy and college as Yale. Her mother, Judith Russell, was listed on her Facebook profile as working at a social services agency.
Tsarnaeva attended North Kingstown High School, graduating in 2007. Her yearbook entry lists her plans as college and the Peace Corps. Her art teacher for four years, Amos Trout Paine, remembered her talent in painting and drawing and said she was at the top of her class.
"The reason why I remember her is she was very nice and very smart," Paine said. "She was ready to learn."
She had friends and was well integrated into class, he said, and did not seem to be interested in religion.
"There was none of that with her," he said. "She was neutral."
She went off to Suffolk University, and Paine did not see her again after that. He said he was surprised to hear she had dropped out of school and even more surprised to hear she was married to a man now accused of bombing the marathon.
"From how I know her, she's a really good person," he said.
Suffolk University said Tsarnaeva attended from 2007 to 2010 and majored in communications. Her lawyer, Amato DeLuca, said she was a student when she met Tamerlan Tsarnaev at a nightclub, introduced by one of her girlfriends. Tsarnaev, who had attended Bunker Hill Community College, was no longer in school, DeLuca said, and was seeing another woman at the time.
"They went out for a while, and then they stopped and then they went out again," DeLuca said.
Tsarnaeva knew nothing about Islam when they met, said her lawyer, adding he didn't know if marriage was a motivating factor in her conversion. The reason was that she is a believer, he said.
"She believes in the tenets of Islam and of the Quran," DeLuca said. "She believes in God."
The couple got married on June 21, 2010, a Monday, in a ceremony performed by Imam Taalib Mahdee, of Masjid al Qur'aan, in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, according to their marriage certificate, which lists his profession as a driver.
The couple had a daughter and lived with her in the Tsarnaev family apartment, which was shared over the years with his mother, Zubeidat, and father, Anzor, now divorced, and Dzhokhar, DeLuca said. He said Tsarnaeva rarely saw her brother-in-law there because he was living in the dorms at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev's relatives have said that in recent years he became a devout Muslim and prayed five times a day. DeLuca said the couple attended the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, although the mosque's executive assistant, Nichole Mossalam, said that Tsarnaeva had never been there to her knowledge.
Leaders at the mosque say Tamerlan Tsarnaev did attend and in recent months had outbursts during two sermons that encouraged Muslims to celebrate American institutions such as the Fourth of July and figures including Martin Luther King Jr.
Last year, Tsarnaev traveled to Russia for about six months, while his wife stayed in their Cambridge apartment. His aunt said he spoke with his wife every day using Skype and at times she would instruct him on how to observe religious practices correctly when he lapsed.
Tsarnaeva's lawyer said she had no reason to suspect her husband of anything and was focused on supporting her family, working 70 to 80 hours, seven days a week as a home health care aide. Her husband cared for their daughter when she was away, Deluca said.
But Anne Kilzer, a Belmont, Mass., resident who went with her daughters to the Tsarnaev home to get facials from Tamerlan Tsarnaev's mother, said when she visited the apartment Tsarnaeva was always there with the baby and her mother-in-law.
Kilzer, who had not been to the home since around Labor Day, when the mother told her she was leaving the country, described Tamerlan Tsarnaev as surly and intimidating and painted his wife as cowed and intimidated by him.
"She was a very sweet woman, but I think kind of brainwashed by him," she said.
She said Tsarnaeva seemed lonely and would bring out the baby for her to hold when she visited.
The apartment was so cramped and crowded, Kilzer said, that it would have been difficult for Tsarnaev to hide criminal activity from his wife.
"Maybe she'll provide answers for all of us," she said.
Federal authorities have asked to interview Tsarnaeva, and DeLuca said he is discussing with them how to proceed.
DeLuca would not provide details on what his client told him her husband was doing in the days before and after the April 15 bombing but said as far as he knew nothing seemed amiss to her in the days after.
Tsarnaev was home when his wife left for work the last day he was alive, DeLuca said. Police say he was run over by a car driven by his brother as he fled gunfire early Friday morning. His brother was captured later that night, wounded and bloody, in Watertown, 10 miles west of Boston; his lawyer has declined to comment.
DeLuca said she learned of her husband was suspected of being responsible for bombing the Boston Marathon the same way a lot of other people did: on TV.

This gentleman was taken aback by the bluntness of the question of whether or not he exceeded the age of 40.
A former Concordia Cobber by trade, Paul Wraalstad now works for NDSU as the Director of Operations in the Memorial Union.
After working for Concordia for over 10 years as the Director of Student Programming, this Norwegian decided to grow hooves and loose the husk with the new challenges that would come from trading campuses.
When asked what his favorite thing about working at NDSU, his response, "seeing all the great events put on by students."
He said that events are a large enhancement to the college experience, and that the Memorial Union functions very differently then Concordia's did in that way.
Some of his responsibilities at NDSU include making sure everything is prepared and ready for events. He makes sure the set up of tables, chairs and podiums are exactly the way they need to be.
One of his favorite events to tailor for is the Fashion and Design FABO event, because he enjoys seeing the students work.
Wraalstad said he did not always know he was going to be a Director for event set up, when he started in college he wanted to be a music teacher, but shortly switched to psychology.
What he currently does wasn't "ever on the list of things that came up on my career profile," he said. But he enjoys the fact that he aides in helping students understand how great the programs at NDSU are.
He said that NDSU is a really cool place for the students if they take advantage of it.
Paul Wraalstad is 43 years of age, and has not lost any of his zeal for making students college experience stand out.

Influence of photon recycling on solar cell efficiencies
Badescu, Viorel and Landsberg, Peter T. (1997) Influence of photon recycling on solar cell efficiencies. Semiconductor Science and Technology, 12, (11), 1491-1497. (doi:10.1088/0268-1242/12/11/028).
Full text not available from this repository.
A simple model of a homojunction solar cell is improved by taking into account the effect of photon recycling . The efficiency of converting solar radiation into electricity is studied as a function of the key variables. Some of these can be directly controlled, e.g. the semiconductor layer thickness and the surface recombination velocity. Other variables can be controlled indirectly, by doping, thermal treatments, etc: the internal efficiency of the radiative emission, the carrier lifetime and the minority carrier diffusion coefficient. For actual GaAs solar cells, taking photon recycling into consideration leads to an increase in efficiency of the order of 2%. The results we show are useful for the design and fabrication of solar cells based on wide-gap semiconductors.

1GAM Retrospective for January
I finished my first 1GAM (one game a month) entry: Play-Z! Play it and let me know what you think. My first month is over and I'm pretty happy with the result. I've got my one game for this month, however I stutter-stepped a bit with another idea at the beginning. I was asked to speak at a meetup to talk about making games in ImpactJS early in the month so I decided to kill...... Read More
Resolutions for 2015
It's a new year, time to make improvements. Last year I didn't set any goals, so there was nothing to measure, but I ended the year unhappy with what it felt like I got done. Time to fix that. I didn't have any data to look at to compare where I was with where I wanted to be. So this year my wife and I sat down on New Years Eve and shared our resolutions...... Read More

At a Rose Parade festival about five years ago, counterfeiters struck Pete Mogannam's deli while passing phony bills at more than a dozen stores in downtown Santa Rosa.
Mogannam's Fourth Street Market and Deli got stuck with a fake $100 bill. He later heard that 13 other merchants also had accepted the funny Benjamins.
"They always manage to get you when you're going 100 miles per hour," Mogannam said of the counterfeiters' method of coming at the busiest times of the day.
U.S. currency has become increasingly difficult to duplicate, with ultraviolet "security threads" and a color-shifting ink technology that was developed in Santa Rosa more than a quarter century ago.
But counterfeiters have also stepped up the sophistication of their craft. In one week in mid-October, the U.S. Secret Service office in San Francisco reported collecting $46,000 in fake currency.
"That's a low week," Special Agent Chip Roberts told a group of merchants last week in Sonoma. The weekly count is typically between $50,000 and $100,000, accumulated in the Bay Area and coastal region from Monterey to the Oregon border.
That may sound like a small hit on the economy, Roberts said. But it involves a large number of fake bills passed and plenty of businesses that suffered losses.
The Secret Service made a presentation Thursday to Bank of the West commercial clients in Sonoma. Stacey Scudder, the bank's Sonoma branch manager, said she wanted her merchants to learn ways to quickly and easily identify authentic currency.
With the coming holiday season, both law enforcement and banks are urging merchants to increase their vigilance for bad bills.
"There's more people out. There's more money changing hands," said Charles White, assistant special agent in charge of the Secret Service office in San Francisco.

A final push in housing battle in Uttlesford as consultation approaches
Posted: April 19, 2014|
A town councillor has stressed the importance of taking part in the final consultation of the district council's plan to build 10,460 homes by 2031.
At a Saffron Walden Town Council meeting last week, Cllr David Watson told members that only the objections made in this final consultation would be noted by the Planning Inspector.
Cllr Watson, who was one of the six Conservatives to vote against the Uttlesford District Council's (UDC) draft Local Plan, urged councillors to resubmit their opposition on the basis that the plan is "unsound".
He said it was essential that the town council provided "a proper response" that was "as comprehensive as possible".
The plan – which includes 1,000 homes in Saffron Walden and 2,100 in Elsenham – will go out for pre-submission public consultation between now and June on whether it meets the "four tests of soundness" as set out in national planning policy.
According to Cllr Watson, it is only the responses to this final consultation that will be considered, despite thousands of comments being made in other consultations.
Cllr Watson said: "We cannot stand by the destruction of this community.
"We must get all the objections to soundness together and put in one document."
Cllr Doug Perry, who also opposed the plan last week, emphasised the importance of pulling resources together to oppose the scheme.
Town councillors all voted in favour of responding to the consultation. At the next full town council meeting on May 15, members will agree a formal response.
Cllr Watson added that he believed the three major housing applications for Saffron Walden – which if approved would total nearly 700 homes – will come before the planning committee later this month.
The district council will release the agenda for the Wednesday, April 30 meeting on April 22.
If all three developments for the sites highlighted in the draft Local Plan were approved, Cllr Watson believes a judicial review could be made as the Plan has not been adopted yet.
The plan is expected to be examined by the Planning Inspector in October and formally adopted in early 2015.

San Bernardino County Retail Picking Up
For MORE thought leadership on economic development in the Inland Empire, click here to visit the County of San Bernardino thought leader page "Seize the Advantage in Southern California."
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA��The retailsector in the county is starting to pick up quite significantly�We have a couple of new developments that are coming to fruition.� So says Kelly Reenders, economic development administrator of the County of San Bernardino. GlobeSt.com exclusively chatted with Reenders in preparation for ICSC�s RECon event about the County�s retail activity, what ICSC attendees should know, and� what types of retailers are expanding/entering the market this year.
GlobeSt.com: What do you think ICSC attendees should know about the County of San Bernardino in general?
Kelly Reenders: The County of San Bernardino has a population of close to 3 million and a trade area of 22 million and counting. We have 24 cities and towns that are spread across the valleys deserts and mountains. We are the largest county in terms of geography with over 20,000 square miles. Our recovery has been a bit quicker than expected, our unemployment rate has come down significantly, we have seen a lot of infill housing starts, and our consumer confidence is going up. One of the county�s main strengths is that we continue to grow in terms of population, aggressively.
GlobeSt.com: Is the County�s retail sector ready to grow?
Reenders: The retailsector in the county is starting to pick up quite significantly�We have a couple of new developments that are coming to fruition. Majestic Realty has a project in Redlands called Mountain Grove at Citrus Plaza. Mountain Grove is a 47-acre sister project to the Citrus Plaza Shopping Center, which has been highly successful�it is just over half a million square feet, so it is a pretty large center. The opening for Mountain Grove is summer 2015.
We have a couple of the large shopping center projects and we are also seeing a lot of the smallcenters that have been repositioned, start to flourish.
One of the other projects is the phase three of Colonies Crossroads, which was just completed last year. The center is 162,000 square feet and has had tremendous leasing activity as the center is fully occupied. The property serves Upland, LaVerne, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, and Fontana.�
GlobeSt.com: What types of retailers are expanding/entering the market this year?
Reenders: We have seen everyone from Whole Foods, who is looking at a location in Redlands, to the German-based discount grocery Aldi, who is in the Midwest and east coast now�they are looking at California over the next five years and plan to open nearly 650 stores so we are confident some of those are going to land in our area. Smart & Final is still expected to expand more stores with us in the County and the Wal-Mart Superstores are still in play.
We are also seeing a big surge with ethnic supermarkets. When Albertsons or Ralphs are choosing to close some stores, we are seeing the ethnic grocers come in and take that space.
We still see activity amongst the convenient stores such as Circle K and 7-Eleven and we are seeing a lot of activity from quick service restaurants like Farmer Boys, Miguel�s Jr., Yogurtland, Five Guys, Menchie�s Frozen Yogurt to name a few.
GlobeSt.com: Tell me about the County's Vision.
Reenders: The County�s vision is to create opportunities for growth and to build prosperity within the County. Part of that vision is to create a pro-business culture between the public and private sectors to help continue the momentum of growth that we have seen. It helps shape how we plan for infrastructure and development and it really provides a road-map of predictability for somebody looking to invest in our market.
GlobeSt.com: How does this vision benefit the developer, investor and retailer?

Philadelphia's Amtrak Rail Line Becomes Outdoor Art Installation
The Takeoff Episode 03: Why Team and Culture Matter for Travel Startups Sponsored This content is created collaboratively with one of our sponsors.
Conversations with founders and CEOs on building the travel company of the future.

Skift Take
For decades Philadelphia's public art program has transformed barren spaces across the city, so it seems appropriate that they transform the most barren of spaces along the tracks.
Murals are often specifically designed to stop busy city residents in their tracks, forcing them to pause and, for a change, really take in their surroundings.
Spread out along five miles of rail corridor, the latest project from the City of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program, by Berlin-based artist Katharina Grosse, is intended to do just the opposite. Over the past two weeks, Grosse has used bright colors to transform seven sites between downtown's 30th Street Station and North Philadelphia Station. Using the train as a central vehicle, psychylustro is meant to be seen in motion.
This stretch of track into downtown sees 34,000 riders every day, including travelers heading to and from New York on Amtrak plus commuters on two lines of SEPTA Regional Rail and one New Jersey Transit line with service to Atlantic City.

Fit Facts: Fueling the body for your swim, bike and run. A brief physiology lesson.
By Dorothy Hamburg, M.S., Exercise Physiologist. USA Triathlon Level II Expert Coach, Clinical Exercise Specialist & Health Fitness Instructor (ACSM), and founder of Personal Strength & Training. She is also the owner of TriSportsTraining.com, a site dedicated to women specific triathlon training & coaching.
To understand how the body obtains the energy it needs to make it "go", a useful analogy for how a car and the human body obtain the energy to make them "go." In an automobile engine, the proper mixture of gasoline fuel with oxygen ignites to provide the energy necessary to drive the pistons. Various gears and linkages harness this energy to turn the wheels, and increasing or decreasing the energy supply either speeds up or slows down the engine. similarly, the human body must continuously be able to extract the energy from its fuel and harness this energy to perform its many complex functions.
During exercise, the ability to swim, bike, run long distances is determined largely by the body�s ability to extract energy from food nutrients and transfer it to the contractile elements of skeletal muscle. This transfer occurs through thousands of complex chemical reactions that require a continual supply and utilization of oxygen. Such oxygen-requiring reactions are termed aerobic. In contrast, anaerobic chemical reactions generate energy rapidly for short periods (less than 90 seconds in duration) and do not require oxygen. This rapid method of energy transfer is crucial for maintaining a high standard of performance in activities requiring all-out bursts of exercise such as sprinting in track and swimming, or stop-and-go activities like soccer, basketball, and tennis. Most activities are not purely aerobic or anaerobic, but are classified on an anaerobic-to-aerobic continuum. Depending upon the intensity and duration of the effort, these activities will use short-term, immediate, and long-term sources of energy derived from the foods we ate.
This energy is not transferred directly to our cells for biologic work. Instead, the chemical energy trapped within the bonds of carbohydrates, fats and proteins (the nutrients foods are made of) is used to produce the energy-rich compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through complex, enzymaticaly-controlled reactions. Carbohydrate is the only nutrient whose stored energy can be used to generate ATP anaerobically. This is important in vigorous exercise that requires rapid energy release.
For the sprinter who is exercising at a maximal level of intensity and for the weight lifter, an immediate energy source is necessary for performance. This comes from high-energy phosphate compounds (derived from ATP) and carbohydrates (glycogen) already stored in your muscles. During the first few seconds of an anaerobic exercise, ATP and its derivatives creatine phosphate (CP), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) work like tiny, supercharged battery packs to supply your muscles with immediate energy. After the first few seconds, the longer you can continue exercising, the more heavily your muscles will depend upon carbohydrate stores. When these stores are depleted, muscle fatigue and exhaustion sets in. When we eat in relationship to when we exercise is important.
The marathon runner, in contrast to the sprinter, is exercising at a submaximal intensity level. Exercise intensity is usually light-to-moderate and remains relatively stable throughout the exercise period. This "steady state" represents a balance between the energy required by the working muscles and the rate of ATP production through aerobic metabolism.
During endurance exercise, carbohydrate supplies about one-half to three-quarters of the body�s energy requirements. With prolonged endurance exercise, there is a shift to a greater use of fats as a primary fuel source. This results in a decreased rate of utilization of both carbohydrate(glucose) and muscle glycogen stores. Despite the fact that fats are predominately used by muscle during endurance exercise of moderate intensity, the rate at which fats break down to provide sufficient energy for prolonged periods of time cannot occur if your diet lacks adequate carbohydrate intake. It is therefore important to eat a well-balanced diet.
Nancy Clark, a sports nutritionist and registered dietician, recommends experimenting with the following guidelines to determine the right pretraining or precompetition meal for your body.
- Every day, eat high-carbohydrate meals to fuel and refuel your muscles so they�ll be ready for action. Doing a sprint triathlon on Saturday? Be sure to make a special effort to eat well the day before. Eating a high-carbohydrate dinner that includes pasta, rice or potatoes will help fuel your muscles for the job to come.
- Choose high-starch, low-fat foods such as breads, bagels, crackers, bananas, prior to exercising because these tend to digest easily, settle comfortably and maintain a stable blood sugar. Food eaten within an hour before exercise will keep you from feeling hungry; but it doesn�t significantly replenish muscle glycogen stores.
- Avoid sugary foods such as soft drinks and lots of fruit juice within an hour before hard exercise. The sugar may give you a short-lived "sugar boost", but you are at risk of slumping into a "sugar low" once you start your workout.
- Allow adequate time for food to digest. Your muscles require more blood during intense exercise than when at rest so your stomach may get only 20 percent of its normal blood flow during a hard, intense workout. This slows the digestive process. However, during exercise of moderate intensity, blood flow to the stomach is 60 to 70 percent of normal, and you can still digest food. The general "rule of thumb" is to allow:
- 3 to 4 hours for a large meal to digest,
- 2 to 3 hours for a smaller meal
- 1 to 2 hours for a blended or liquid meal, and
- less than an hour for a small snack (power bar or granola bar, piece of fruit), according to your own tolerance.

Heat have official DJ and chef (check out his Dwyane Wade breakfast wrap)
Charles Barkley should get comp'd everything for life in Dallas after he called the Miami Heat "a whiny bunch," and said, "There is something about that team that annoys me."
Only one thing, Sir Charles?
How about this?
The Heat's official DJ (yeah, that's right their official DJ) and official chef came with them to Dallas.
After Sunday night's victory over the Mavs, DJ Irie spun tunes in the booth at PM Lounge underneath the Joule hotel for team members and various VIPs who stayed until the wee hours of the morning.
On the ground floor of the Joule, the Heat's executive chef Michael Jacobs came to Charlie Palmer for a meal with several Heat players. The group feasted on scallops, salumi, quail legs, sirloin and filet–all washed down with two bottles of Ken Wright Cellars pinot noir.
Chef Jacobs does all the team meals for practices and game days. He regularly feeds the team breakfast and lunch.
His most popular item? Probably the D Wade breakfast wrap featuring ground turkey, homemade barbecue sauce, egg and cheddar cheese on whole wheat.

CAVIT raritiesby Tom Cannavan, 04/07
I visited the northern Italian region of Trentino in 2003, when I profiled the region's biggest player, the super-cooperative CAVIT.
Recently, CAVIT sent me some sample bottles of thier more rarified, premium-priced products to try, only one of which - the excellent Bordeaux blend Quattro Vicariati - I'd tasted before. These wines are available from
independent retailers in the UK and overseas. CAVIT has some wonderful grape material available to it through its membership of hundreds of growers, and this selection certainly shows that even a massive producer - CAVIT is responsible for
70% of all wine emanating from Trentino - can make truly interesting, unusual, hand-crafted wines.

Allegheny County qualifies for federal flood relief
Allegheny County was added on Monday to a list of 10 counties covered by a presidential disaster declaration because of June and July storms.
County Chief of Emergency Services Alvin Henderson said in a statement that the county met the minimum threshold of $4.2 million in costs for storms and flooding from June 26 through July 11.
The president's initial disaster declaration covered Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Crawford, Fayette, Huntington, Jefferson, Lawrence, Venango and Wayne counties. Much of that area was affected by storms in late June.
Gov. Tom Corbett has sought relief from storms that continued through late July. His request on July 26 included Washington County.
Storms on July 10 prompted local emergency declarations in 12 Allegheny County municipalities, including Elizabeth, Jefferson Hills, Lincoln and West Elizabeth.
On July 10 in Elizabeth, Fallen Timber Run and a feeder stream overflowed, damaging a section of Irwin Street and several homes.
Council president Monica Glowinski said the borough is looking at $30,000 in costs for flood recovery, not including labor.
In Jefferson Hills, borough officials estimated damage just to municipal properties at more than $200,000.
President Obama's declaration covers all local governments, police, fire and public works departments, emergency medical services, water and sewer authorities, school districts, hospitals, and certain private nonprofits.
Henderson said the president's action makes federal funding available to eligible local governments and private nonprofits on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and repair or replacement of facilities.
Henderson said reimbursable costs could cover damage to roads, bridges and public buildings as well as debris removal, personnel costs, vehicle and equipment use.
Emergency protective measures taken to protect life and property before, during and after the storms could be reimbursable.
Henderson said federal and state funding is available on a cost-sharing basis for hazard mitigation measures.
He said any organization that believes it is eligible for funding should call 412-473-2550.

A Food and Agriculture Organization project is working to reduce food losses in the Republic of the Gambia, where two years of crop failures and soaring food prices have left more than half the country's population without enough food. In a world where in 1 in 7 people go hungry, roughly one third of global food production gets lost or wasted. But FAO and partners are working together on the Save Food Global Initiative on Food Loss and Waste Reduction. Because if we are to eradicate hunger, everybody involved in food supply chains -- from producers to consumers -- must change management practices, technologies and behavior.
Indonesia's food market has changed in response to a changing and growing economy. The report examines changes in the food consumption pattern and measures the growth of modern food retail chains, packaged food purchases, and food imports in the world's fourth-most-populous country. The evidence suggests that Indonesians are moving toward modern global purchasing and consumption patterns, but more slowly than in some comparable countries. Barriers to foreign and domestic commerce, affecting the development of modern food retail supply chains, are important constraints on food market change in Indonesia. Further change in Indonesia's retail food sector will help determine future growth in imports, including from the United States.
This policy aims to provide redress and recognition to the rights of Small Scale fisher communities in South Africa previously marginalised and discriminated against in terms of racially exclusionary laws and policies, individualised permit-based systems of resource allocation and insensitive impositions of conservation-driven regulation. In line with the broader agenda of the transformation of the fishing sector, this policy provides the framewor for the promotion of the rights of these fishers in order to fulfil the constitutional promise of substantive equality. Indeed, in terms of our Constitution, the State is committed to respecting, protecting, promoting and fulfilling the rights of Small Scale fishers in South Africa.
In so doing, this policy discharges the State's obligation in terms of Article 1 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights to 'adopt legislative and other measures' to give effect to the rights enshrined in the Charter. In particular, this policy gives effect to the protection of peoples' rights to "pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have freely chosen" and to "freely dispose of their wealth and natural resources".

Pretend you're in business and your building needs a new roof. You look in the Yellow Pages under 'roofing' and find just two entries: 'Ace Roofing,' and 'Lonnie's Massage Parlor and Roofing Service.'
You want it done quick and you want it done right. Who you gonna call?
Sometimes the decision isn't so easy. Depending on what kind of service you need, you may not be qualified to make a decision. That's when you need a consultant.
Pretend you're an amateur genealogist. You've traced your family back to King Arthur's Camelot. Your umpty-seventh great grampa used to polish King Arthur's personal camel. You think that makes you somebody and you want everybody to know it, so you've written a book about your family. Problem is, nobody can read your book because you write like a baboon.
You know you write like a baboon because your golfing buddy is a copyeditor at the local newspaper and one day, over beers, he says: "You write like a baboon. There's no way you can fix that manuscript. Don't waste any more time with it. Hire a pro."
So you're shopping for a writer. You look in the Yellow Pages under 'writers' and don't find any. Your buddy says lots of writers advertise on the Internet. So you go to your computer and punch up a search engine. You query 'freelance writer' and get 7.2 million hits.
Why so many writers? The short answer is that it's Ronald Reagan's fault.
You see, before Ronald Reagan was president, lots of Americans did useful work in factories and mines and mills and places like that. Since Ronald Reagan was president, lots of Americans who once did useful work in factories and mines and mills and places like that no longer do useful work in places like that.
Americans who no longer do useful work found jobs in the service sector. Americans who never did useful work couldn't find jobs in the service sector, so they started their own businesses.
That's why we see minivans with signs that tout 'Cherie's Truck Repair and Pet Grooming,' 'Joe's Lawn Care and School for Flight Attendants,' or 'Lonnie's Massage Parlor and Roofing Service.'
Thousands of schizophrenic startups go broke every year. Thousands of schizophrenic entrepreneurs tire of spending money on schizophrenic startups that go broke every year, so they decide to become schizophrenic writers. That's why there are 7.2 million writers on the Internet and that's why it's Ronald Reagan's fault.
Truth is, there are lots of good reasons to become a writer. Here are a few –
Anybody can be a writer. All you have to do is call yourself a writer. Business cards are optional.
Being a writer is a great excuse to lay around the house and read books all day. If you'd rather watch TV, call yourself a journalist. Journalists claim they watch TV news because they have to keep up with current events. In fact, journalists watch TV news because they can't understand what they've written until somebody explains it to them.
Being a writer means you'll never have to work again. When your spouse calls you a deadbeat, just say: "Please, Honey! Don't bother me now. I'm thinking." If your spouse persists, lay on a guilt trip. Go ballistic and screech: "You're making fun of my schizophrenia again!" That always shuts 'em up.
Impress your friends. Awestruck, they'll come to you and say, "Gee! You're a writer, huh? I never knew your writing was that good." Your friends' amazement points toward the best of all possible reasons to become a freelance writer, which is –
You don't even have to know how to write! People who want to hire a writer don't know what good writing is. If they knew what good writing is they wouldn't need to hire a writer because they could do the work themselves. Think about it, Bonzo! Isn't that why YOU went shopping for a writer?
So there are 7.2 million freelance writers on the Internet. You've got a project. You want it done quick and you want it done right. Who you gonna call? 'Lonnie's Writing and Editing Service?' 'Cherie's Writing and Document Design?' 'Joe's Writing, Ink?' Ronald Reagan?
Reagan is dead, so call me instead. I'm a communications consultant. That means I know a writer who can screw your split infinitives together, cut off your dangling participles and get you a syntax rebate, and I'll give you that writer's name for $50,000.
You'll find me in the Yellow Pages. I am 'Deacon's Sewer Service and Communications Consultancy.'
Yes. I do take checks.

I accidentally put it away in a purse and came across it around 6 mo later. I was very disappointed to find that the gloss had gotten really thick. This was a beautiful gloss but it didn't last long. I know they have new colors now, hopefully a new formulation too. I'll probably buy another when I get the money, at $27 you have to budget for this gloss.

Nice gloss that provides a dazzling effect with its ultra fine multi-tonal shimmers. The top of the range texture is non sticky yet comfortable & moisturising.
The range comes in a good assortment of colours. My personal stand out colours & favs include Mirage(deep blue toned pink), Silex(Pinky Coral) & Delight(deep lavender). These colours vamps up my lippies or can also be used alone for a sheer wash of colour & sheen. Personally, I like to make the most of it by applying them over my lippies for the most stand out finish. Alone on my NC25 pigmented lips, it�s a little BLAH (I hate my natural lip colour =\).
The packaging is cute yet sleek & sophisticated looking with its plastic black cap & gold mid section. It�s slim & a little longer than a lot of other gloss tubes (i.e. MAC & NARS).

I have #11 Levres Scintillantes. Don't normally go for shimmering lipglosses but got this as a present. The way this lipgloss shimmers on my lips make them look very pouty and I've received lots of compliments when I wear this lipgloss. Very sticky and I need a mirror to apply and doesn't last very long so won't be repurchasing.

I bought my Chanel Glossimer in Bel Air (limited edition), a tad to dark for me. However, the colour can go on sheer and can be blotted. It smoothes my lips, hydrates them, and provides gorgeous pigmentation. I'd like to try some other lighter shades. Not sticky at all.

I have this in Syrop, a light coral pink. Great for summer. Love the glossimer formula as it's nonsticky, high shine, and fairly long lasting for a gloss. A good summer investment.

I have heard so much hype about these glosses that I finally broke down and bought one. It was about 29$ at Macy's and I tried a few on before selecting sarong, a pretty, shimmery nude.
The textures is great. Perfect really, not too watery or too gloppy. Your lips just feel nice. The sparkle effect is very subtle and pretty, not disco.
Shortly after I purchased giggle and spark. Giggle is a pretty pink neutral and spark is actually quite bright in the tube, but nice on.
I would suggest trying the colors out at a counter. You might be surprised how much you like the brighter colors when you put them on. They are way mellower than they look in the tube. Those with a hint of plum or purple were especially pretty.
These glosses really are the best. Too bad they are so darn expensive!

I am onto about number 4 of these - no. 46/Praline.
This is glossy without looking too young. The color lasts really well and does give your lips a faint tingle/plumping effect. It is a YLBB color that goes with everything. My coloring is fair skin with freckles and very dark brown hair.
The texture is not too sticky and I have never had this bleed or run into the creases around my lips.

Working in a cosmetic shop with all famous brands, I have been using all lipglosses, mascaras, skincare...everything possible! These lipglosses are the best you can get. They are very creamy and soft and stay on your lips for many hours without drying out. After applying the color is even on the lips unlike some other lipglosses that makes lines on lips. Even though these lipglosses are very shiny they still look very natural and make your lips kissable. Besides you can get almost all of the lipgloss out of the tube.

I love Glossimer, it's onle of my favorites because I love lip gloss but not always the feel of it, Glossimer feels like Chanel! It's smooth an silky and has the stickiness necessary for it so stay on, but it doesn't feel sticky or goopy. My only complaint is that they discontinued a bunch of my favorite colors!

Ryan Badolato was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect and a partial anomalous pulmonary venous return at the age of 13. He describes his experience and his open heart surgery at CHOP.
Growing up, I always thought I was a healthy kid. My height and weight were perfect and I was athletic. I had never broken a bone, had never had a cavity and always had perfect attendance at school. I finished my freshman year in high school in 2009 at the top of my class.
The week after the school year ended, I visited my pediatrician, Linda Barkasy, MD, at CHOP Primary Care in West Grove, PA. The visit was for a routine physical, but it turned out to be anything but routine.
When Dr. Barkasy listened to my heart, she heard a strange "echo" noise. She said I had a heart murmur and that I should schedule an appointment with a pediatric cardiologist. She told my dad and me that many children have heart murmurs and it was probably nothing to worry about.
Four days later, I went to the CHOP Specialty Care Center in Springfield for an appointment with CHOP cardiologist Alexa Hogarty, MD.
Dr. Hogarty ran several tests on me. One of the tests was an echocardiogram, and it took a very long time. That is when I first realized something might be wrong with my heart.
Dr. Hogarty told us that I had a hole in my heart and it needed to be fixed with a patch. I did not realize what my dad had quickly figured out — that a "patch" meant open heart surgery.
Open heart surgery
I had a hole between my left and right atria — a condition called an atrial septal defect (ASD). And, like many patients with an ASD, I also had a partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, a congenital heart defect in which one or more of the pulmonary veins are connected to the heart incorrectly.
My surgery was scheduled for July 14, 2009, less than one month after my diagnosis.
I held up pretty well over the next month, but my parents struggled with their emotions because their 13-year-old son — who seemed to be in perfect health — was about to go through open heart surgery.
There was one question about my surgery that my parents dreaded having to answer. The question popped up one night while we were out for dinner.
I asked, "How are they going to operate on my heart if it is beating?"
My dad told me they couldn't. I would be placed on a cardiopulmonary bypass machine during my surgery and the machine would do the work of my heart and lungs. His explanation of the procedure included a wonderful analogy of not being able to work on a car engine while the motor is running.
Questions about surgery
I soon got the opportunity to ask many more questions. Before my surgery, we visited CHOP to find out more about the procedure, to tour the Hospital, and to meet some of the cardiac staff, including Stephanie Fuller, MD, my cardiac surgeon.
Dr. Fuller was more than I could have asked for — she was up front with me and explained everything about my surgery. The night before my surgery, I got to choose what my dad made for dinner (barbecue chicken!). Inside, I feared it would be my last meal, but I knew I would be in good hands at CHOP.
I broke down emotionally on the drive to CHOP that Tuesday morning, but was fine by the time we got there.
My parents gave me two shirts before we headed up to the Cardiac Center. One said "I Survived Open Heart Surgery" and the other said "Chicks Dig Scars." They lightened my mood and helped alleviate some of my stress.
When it was time to change into my hospital gown, what was happening really hit me and I became very upset. I knew that Dr. Fuller was a great doctor and would do her best, but I still feared I might die.
My parents were allowed to stay with me as I was wheeled up to the doors of the operating room. After long hugs and many tears, my last words before I entered the OR were "Dad, don't let them do it."
For the next few hours, my mom, dad and grandparents sat in the waiting room, worrying.
After surgery
I can't clearly remember much from right after my surgery. Tuesday afternoon was mostly a blur, but I do remember bits and pieces. That first night in the Hospital was very difficult because I could not stay asleep.
My dad stayed at the Hospital with me, sleeping on a sofa next to my bed, and my mom was able to stay at the nearby Ronald McDonald House. I recall several relatives visiting me, but I was constantly dozing off.
The morning after my surgery, I had to start my recovery (sitting up, getting my chest tubes removed, etc.).
Kara Landrum, one of the child life specialists who had stopped by during my pre-op procedures to ask about my interests, surprised me with tickets for me and my family to attend a Phillies game three weeks later. The tickets were compliments of Lidge's Legion, an organization that Brad Lidge — who played for the Phillies at the time — founded to benefit CHOP. What an incentive! The thought of being well enough to attend a game so soon, and to meet Brad Lidge, was amazing.
That evening, I gathered up the strength to start to walk and was able to check out the teen activity area in the Cardiac Care Unit. Soon I was speeding around, and my parents urged me to take it easy. I spent the next few days watching ESPN and playing video games. I enjoyed the hospitality of the staff and especially liked the food. My stay debunked the myth that hospital food is gross!
Going home
By Friday, I was ready to go home. It felt so good to be outside again. When I got home, I was greeted by my dogs and my cat. When I was eating breakfast the next morning, I started to get sick, so my parents raced me back to CHOP right away.
I spent the day in the Emergency Department until it was determined that everything was OK and I was able to keep food and liquids down again. My appetite returned that night and I even requested pizza from my favorite local restaurant.
My surgery had gone very well. Dr. Fuller fixed the ASD and also did an anomalous vein repair. I had to take it easy for the rest of the summer, not swimming or riding my bike, but that was fine with me because my heart was fixed. I will never forget that summer, nor will I forget the people who made so many more of them possible.
Whenever I visit Dr. Barkasy now, I always thank her. She was the one who initially detected the problem with my heart and played a crucial role in saving my life.
The future
Today, I am a healthy teenager with a cool-looking "zipper" scar that I like showing off. I recently graduated from high school and plan to attend the University of Delaware next year, studying to become a history teacher.
Every year, I go in for a routine cardiology checkup, but I now know I have nothing to worry about. I am grateful to everyone at CHOP who offered support and took care of me during the summer of 2009.
Without them, the life I have now simply wouldn't be possible.
By Ryan Badolato, July 2012

Yesterday, I had the honor of delivering a luncheon keynote address at the LifeScience Alley annual conference and exhibition in Minneapolis. Despite the major snowstorm that swept the Midwest this week, more than 1200 people showed up for this annual gathering of movers and shakes in the life sciences industries.
On my way through the Minneapolis airport, I came across the ad you see to the right. I couldn't decide if it was brilliant marketing tied to recent events, or pure serendipity. In either case, it made me chuckle. It also aligned quite well with something I've been advocating for some time.
The entire nation has its eyes on Washington these days where Congress is debating the future of healthcare. No matter what you think about the debate or its likely outcome, one thing is clear. The days of practicing medicine on paper are rapidly coming to a close. Like it or not, physician practices and hospitals will need to go digital, or they will take a serious hit in how much they are paid. I'm sure some of my colleagues feel they will take a serious hit either way, and they may be right. The ROI on electronic records doesn't come from the digital information itself, it comes from what you do with that information. In other words…… it's what you do next.
Digital health information enables a different kind of practice. It lays the groundwork for a practice that is proactive and preventive rather than one that is reactive and only focused on disease after it occurs. It helps us achieve and measure benchmarks for best practices. It provides the data that measures quality and patient safety. It helps us reach out to our community and patients in ways previously not possible. It paves for the way for business models that are better aligned to control the spiraling cost of care while maintaining high quality. These are the rewards now being realized by some of America's best healthcare organizations; hospitals and clinics (many of them profiled right here on HealthBlog) that have been digital for some time. Hospitals and clinics that are already using and mining their digital health data to deliver better care. Like I said, it's not about the EMR….. it's what you do next that counts.
Bill Crounse, MD Senior Director, Worldwide Health Microsoft
I don't have a problem with encouraging physician and hospitals to go the EMR route; I actually think it's a good idea. What I do object to is this monetary punishment on those who don't go that route. For many of them, it's the monetary problem that's keeping them from going that way in the first place.
Maybe some of that health care money will go towards helping them get there. I actually know someone who can offer free EMR software, but the government says someone has to review it and authorize it first, and that cost is over $200,000; of all things! Can't have it both ways, if you ask me.
Unfortunately, I won't see your response, if there is one, since I don't register just to post comments, so I'll have to hope to remember to check back one of these days.
I have to agree with Mitch. Having been "electronic" for 7+ years and not received any sort of incentive, I do not care for what the government has planned. Unfortunately, the current "carrot and stick" approach is more harmful than helpful - it will bring in those practices with cash into the electronic sphere for the wrong reasons, and kills those practices without cash that simply cannot afford the cost.
It must be said that Microsoft has a large share of the blame for this reluctance of physicians to embrace technology, most of which is largely based on Windows, which does not provide the flexibility needed and tries to "nickel and dime" users. Unfortunately, since medical practice is stuck in a price-fixed situation for at least 15 years, it is simply unrealistic and immoral for a Medical Director of Microsoft to be preaching this sermon. If physicians had the pricing power of the free market, they would readily purchase whatever IT they deemed appropriate to increase their productivity and provide patient care more effectively. Current business model of price-fixed third party reimbursement cannot allow any innovation and will eventually lead to a two-tier health care delivery, just like in under-developed countries.
Mitch and Arvind,
Thanks for your thoughtful comments. I practiced medicine in the Seattle area for 20 years before joining Microsoft. Believe me, I understand the pain (and joy) of practice. It's a little unfair to blame Microsoft for the business model surrounding US medicine or for the current EMR certificaiton process. Furthermore, please don't blame the inflexibility of current systems on Microsoft.
I travel all over the world and have seen first-hand the low cost, highly flexible, intiutive solutions developed on our platform. I also know the hard work we've done to make our solutions interoperable with others. I have been one of the most vocal proponents for more affordable, commodity-priced EMR solutions especially for primary care. Because of Microsoft's deep investments in the industry, I'm beginning to see health solutions for hospitals, clinics, physicians, patients and consumers that will actually deliver on the promise of always available, truly transportable electronic health records.
Bill Crounse, MD
In the majority of the cases, we approach physicians who have had absolutely zero IT experience in their practice. Most physicians we run into don't even have computers in practice let alone practice management systems or EHRs. They are coming from a cold start, so it is unfair to say that Microsoft should share blame for the reluctance of physicians to adopt technology.
The value proposition should be first and foremost, productivity not government incentives. The use of an EHR should show an ROI through increases in productivity and more accurate medical coding. Equally as important is the quality of care improvement through patient records that can be passed from provider to provider. Providers can stay much more connected to patients and maintain continuity of care.
Government incentives should be the least of the concerns.

Let's Discuss
LOVE Oakville grocery and got the best picnic from there on our last visit. Can't wait to see the renovations and next visit I'm definitely planning to spend a bit more time drooling in the aisles. Beautiful pictures.
this looks so beautiful! (and i love your red shoes.) can't believe you guys are only 45 minutes from napa!
I love the red shoes, too! Can you share where you bought them?
This looks like such a fun trip. xo
That pic of your hubby and son is gorgeous!
Thanks!! They're a cute pair.
let the camera do the shopping, it's all you can do sometimes. nice to visit though, looks like a top place
We went there during our Napa trip this past September, and I cannot tell you how much I haaaaaaaaated this place. It was crowded, the deli counter was beyond slow (because they were so busy), and to top it off, I ordered a glass of cab to go with my $30 picnic that included the 30-minutes-to-get-a-sliver-of-cheese, and they. were out. of cab (!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
It was scarier than Wal-Mart on a Saturday. There, I said it. I'm sure if it hadn't been as crowded, it would have been pleasant, but it was, and I will never go back there.
Oh no!! That's horrible–yikes! There was hardly anyone the Sunday we stopped in but I know crowds in Napa can be the worst. I would have hated that, too!
This is one of my favorite places on earth. It's one of the things I miss most about California.

The nation's hotel chains are getting a bit pushy about their customer-loyalty programs these days. In an effort to promote their frequent-guest programs -- and populate their sparse customer databases with critical information -- the chains are making aggressive efforts to get business travelers to sign up. Some hotel chains are even rolling up such necessary business travel perks as free phone calls and Internet access into their loyalty program benefits to force business travelers to cough up the data.
According to chain representatives, their main objective for forcing travelers to sign on is to better serve their customers. But, not so suprisingly, they're also using the detailed data to better target their marketing campaigns to reel in more business travelers.

So I had been giving my horse ACV in their evening feed to help with flies. All was going well and the flies didnt' seem too bad! I thought it was working.
About 2 weeks ago I ran out. :roll: I keep forgetting to pick more up at the grocery store. I went out today and my horse are MISERABLE with flies I also noticed more flies on their poo......I'm convinced that it works to feed the horses the ACV.
I'm going to call the hubby and see if he can swing by and pick some more up on the way home!!! (unless I forget! )

During my loss of 135lbs and then years into maintenance, I *granted myself a doctorate in nutrition, in dieting memoir and self help. I read every book, spent four dollars on every magazine, and joined every group that promised they'd support me. I met fascinating people and heard stories and takes on life and loss that really changed me. They bettered me. But still, I wanted something more dynamic.
*you can have one, too.
In February 2010, the week of Valentine's Day, after three fantastic years in film, I left Hollywood and started writing a blog. My first unemployment check arriving in sync with my first blog comment.
I wanted the blog to be the place I could explain a life in food and through food. I had been big, small, and I knew that the only way to tell is to show. So I did.
I moved from Boston to Seattle without a job or a plan or even a good-looking suitcase.
My mum was disappointed. 'How can you leave film? Andrea, I think you're making a mistake.'
My dad was concerned. 'Sweetheart, you do whatever you want to do. But what's a blog? And, seriously, who will want to read it?'
I had no answers for them.
I just wrote.
I promised them, "It might not mean a damn thing to anyone. But I really want to do it, and that's enough. I guess what I'm saying is, I'm willing to risk it."
I decided I didn't ever want to prescribe readers a meal plan, or a set of rules to live by.
Instead I asked them to stay for dinner.
I showed them my breakfast bowl, my salad at lunch, and my dinner, and I thought- 'Well, I'm making it anyway, eating it anyway…might as well photograph it.'
I loved cooking and eating enough to snap an obscene number of photos of anything and everything edible in my home. I found something stylish, something sexy in every picture. I posted them for the world to see.
I knew I had things to say about gaining and losing and staying still that others might want to hear. And I knew that those things I'd say would not always make sense, not always be valuable to everyone at every point. But I also knew that, at the very least, putting my feelings on paper would be a catharsis of the greatest dimension. A full and complete and beautiful reconciliation with all that I've been and all that I am now.
And so I blogged. A year and four months of journaling food and reflections on fat and thin.
And really,
that was enough. I got comments and emails that made me glow from the inside out. The conversation, the staying for dinner, it made me the happiest I've ever been. I met all of you and you made my life fuller.
On June 5th 2011, a longtime reader of mine, someone I'd come to recognize and love through comments and brief emails, sent me a note:
"Andie, I am an assistant book buyer at a big corporation and, well, I've seen lots of bloggers getting book deals lately. I know you have a book in you and I would love nothing more than to read it. Would you mind if I sent the link to your blog to some publishers I know? I just want to share you with them."
Would I mind?
Could I mind?
I replied in fourteen seconds. I told her, in prettier, more articulate words: "I am so flattered. I would love that."
On June 8th, I woke up to an email from the senior editor and vice president at Simon & Schuster.
"Andie, a colleague passed your blog along to me. I really like your voice. Have you any interest in writing a book? I'd love to discuss it with you."
I replied in twelve seconds. I told her, in prettier, more articulate words: "Holy* $&*%, YES! I am very interested. I'd love to speak with you further."
*I left out the holy part.
She wrote back in a matter of seconds, and within ten minutes, my phone rang and the two of us began what would be an hour-long conversation that
could not have gone better.
I adored her.
The thing is,
I love writing. Picking words, designing language, and making my verbs as active as they can be. But I love speaking to someone, anyone, a world more. There's something disarming about a conversation. There's vulnerability and context and tone and I, well I just live and breathe for that.
We spoke, almost so comfortably that I felt uncomfortable. I did not know that it was essentially an interview. The greenness of me couldn't have known that this conversation would decide whether or not the girl who writes that 'stay for dinner' blog has a book in her. This editor was feeling me out. She knew, I'm sure, that lots of writers work well with words on a page, but she wondered, 'can that passion be palpable in real-time? Is there a story in you that's unique? A confidence in vision and voice?'
And I guess, the good news is,
I have a story. I believe it will be different and though probably manic and depressive all at once, it might, I hope, mean something to anyone else. Because when I lost the weight six years ago, I needed what I'm about to write in this book, and after I searched and searched and searched for the words, the feelings that would make me feel sane and soothed, I found myself lonely. Nothing resonated like I needed it to. No one said it just right. Not in a voice I could hear, anyhow.
But back to the conversation.
She asked if I had a literary agent, and when I said no, I did not, she recommended I get one. She told me an agent was not essential, but they'd be extremely helpful to me in reading through contracts and legal documents and securing the best book deal. They'd negotiate best on my behalf.
I agreed.
We hung up as she said,
"Andie, write a proposal. Roughly thirty pages- all that you'd want your book to be. Get it to me… I think you have something."
I called my mother, just after I squealed for a solid thirteen minutes. Smile lines became grooved crescents framing my mouth.
I did not have a deal. I did not have anything more substantial than a vote of confidence. A nudge from someone whose gentle push could move my whole life.
Part 2 to come…

A veteran Cincinnati police sergeant was found drunk on the job during random, mandatory department testing this week - but he will not be criminally charged, officials said Friday.
Sgt. Andre Smith, 47, who works on the west side of the city in District 3, was pulled while on duty and tested about 10 a.m. Wednesday, said Capt. Paul Humphries.
He drove his marked police car from District 3 headquarters off Warsaw Avenue to the testing location and blew just over and then just under .10 on two Breathalyzer tests, Humphries said. ...

Wear like iron
Reviewer: Todd Ellinger (culbertson, Nebraska)
Great lasting and very comfortable. Wear them when loading hay bales and fixing barb-wire fence. Excellent value. Have some that are four years old and have just now worn out above knees from 3 to 4 thousand small bales of hay each year.

Jeans that are tough and last.
Reviewer: David McMurray (Kingsport, TN)
These jeans are very well constructed and long wearing. I have wore Red Kap jeans for many years. They are very comfortable and easy to move around in. I refuse to wear other brands of jeans. The price is very reasonable.
Awesome jeans at an awesome price
Reviewer: Barbara (Beckley, WV)
I ordered these pants for my husband to work in and the fit is great, the quality is great, the price is great and they wash up great. So I decided to order them for him to wear as everyday pants for going out or whatever. He really likes the feel, the fit and the price as well. You can not go wrong with these jeans. Definitely will be buying more in the future!!
Great work and knock a round jeans.
Reviewer: Ron (Portsmouth, Va)
I purchased 1 pair of these jeans to try them out. They are comfortable and fit nicely. I washed them and they didn't shrink. I like them so much I purchased 3 more pair.
Great quality and great price...what a terrific combination!!
Reviewer: John Dummitt (Joppa, IL)
Sometimes, searching for products from site to site is a chore in and by itself, but, on rare occasions, there comes a company that stands out above all the rest. I'm a satisfied customer.
shipped wrong size
Reviewer: Mike Marowelli (Smithfield, ky)
I like the jeans i purchased from you and when i ordered them, i had ordered size 32 x 36. When they arrived I had gotten a size 32 x 37U. Had to take and have them taken up because they were to long. Other then that i was very pleased of the product and would order from you again. THANKS Mike Marowelli
Reviewer: steven cantor (Howard Beach, NY)
