Bubblefest at the Discovery Science CenterPosted by: | Comments
There is one thing that will always make my kiddos smile from ear to ear, bubbles! When the weather is right we head to the park or our front yard and blow as many bubbles as we can. It's fun and sometimes even our dogs join in on the fun.
Spring Break is right around the corner for most families and that means one of my favorite events will be back in town. The Discovery Science Center will once again host Bubblefest! This fantastic show featuring Bubble Scientist Deni Yang will take you take you into the world of bubbles! Yang's world renowned show features bubbles of every shape and size and will keep your kiddos entertained for the duration of the show.

Sunkist's Cara Cara OrangePosted by: | Comments
Our contributor Bridgette had the opportunity to attend a special cooking demonstration using Sunkist's oranges and shares all about the experience.
With all the recent crazy weather we've experienced recently, I don't know if I should dress my kids in a raincoat or a bathing suit. However, I do know that Spring is here by the selection of fruits in the produce section, especially the citrus variety. I recently was invited with a few other bloggers to discover Sunkist's Cara Cara orange.
Grown in California's San Joaquin Valley, the Cara Cara, like all navel oranges, has a bright orange exterior, is easy to peel and seedless. Inside, the fruit is a distinctive pinkish red color. The pulp is juicy with a tangy cranberry-like zing. Cara Caras are called The Power Orange because they are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, a good source of fiber and a natural source of lycopene, a health-promoting antioxidant. Cara Cara's are available December through April.
Earlier this month I had the opportunity to attend a cooking demonstration with Celebrity chef Robert Danhi, (www.chefdanhi.com). He was on hand to lead a group of bloggers through an amazing cooking class. Out first recipe was a wonderful Pico De Gallo. I never really considered using oranges in salsa, but it really gives it an amazing flavor. We also learned to make Asian Pasta salad dish and an orange sparkler.
Our cooking class was filmed live and streamed on the Sunkist website. Viewers were welcomed to ask Chef Danhi questions via the website. To check out the cooking class and the delicious recipes visit http://www.sunkist.com/cookingclass. There are many other recipes and ideas on the website on how to use, infuse and cook with the Cara orange. I brought some home and my kids could not get enough of them. If the Cara Cara is not widely available where you shop, ask your produce manager to order them, you won't be disappointed!

One of our favorite places to go to lunch with my family is Ruby's Diner. We were there earlier this month and it was a perfect day to eat out. We ate at the South Laguna Beach location and the outdoor seating on the rooftop has one of the best views in town. Do you love Ruby's?

I think I found my new favorite store: @Steinmart!Posted by: | Comments
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a sneak peek of the new Stein Mart opening at the Irvine Marketplace before it opened its doors to the general public. I was in for quite the treat. I have to be honest, I don't think I had ever set foot inside a Stein Mart before although I have one only a few minutes away in Yorba Linda. I have been really missing out! I like to think of it as The Rack mixed with Home Goods. I could have browsed for hours!
They have a fabulous selection of clothes, shoes, accessories and a seriously cute houseware section. I had a tough time deciding what I was going to purchase. After about two hours I decided on this super cute rolling cooler that will be perfect for my son's T-Ball games and also for the beach. I also had to buy a little something for myself and although I didn't snap a picture, I bought the cutest navy polkadot dress for my husband's graduation.
I loved all that new Irvine Tustin has to offer! If you are looking for something special to wear for Easter or are looking for the perfect serving dish, you have to check Stein Mart out. I think I have found my new favorite place to shop.
The new Stein Mart is located next to the 24 hour fitness.

Alcatraz With Kids: An Adventure to RememberPosted by: | Comments
During winter break, we took the family on a little road trip to San Francisco. My husband and I have wanted to visit Alcatraz Island for quite some time and decided that we would do it on our last trip. It's one of those things that is on our bucket list and sounded a bit touristy, but we couldn't wait to make the visit and we wanted to take the kids.
The infamous penitentiary, is a mile and a half offshore from San Francisco and rich in history. Not only is touring the island taking a step back in time and a fantastic history lesson, it also fun to explore in a breath taking setting. Is it family friendly? You bet it is! This national park and treasure is one that you have to visit with the family. I promise you will have some fun!
The kids were excited about the boat ride over and more than excited to start exploring the island. Getting to the island is only about a 15 minute ferry ride and the kids loved it! It's always fun to ride a boat when you're a kid.
The National Parks have a fantastic junior ranger program for the kiddos and there is a great one at Alcatraz. The kids were more than ready to explore the island with both mom and dad.
What I loved about visiting Alcatraz, is that you tour at your own pace. You walk around as long as you want and make your trip what you want to make it. I think we only spent about three hours and that included exploring the island and taking the self guided tour with headsets of the penitentiary.
The kiddos loved being able to put on their headsets and learn all about the history of this famous place. They loved every second of it!
After a little walk around of the island we were ready to take the tour. Grab your headphones and be prepared for an interesting history lesson.
We had a great time and I can't wait to head back this summer and take one of the evening excursions with my husband.
If you are planning to visit Alcatraz make sure to make reservations. This is imperative! I can't tell you how many people were turned away on the day we were there because the day was sold out. If you are going plan on making a reservation. Alcatraz Tours is the only and official ferry service to the park. You can reserve your tickets by heading here.

My Spring Break Must: My Beach Bag and What's in it!Posted by: | Comments
We can't wait for spring break to kick off at our home! Our break starts in two weeks and I'm hoping the weather cooperates and we can spend at least one day at the beach. I can't wait to share my spring break itenerary. I think you and the kids are going to love it!
Brea Mall gave me a challenge to find the ultimate Spring Break necessities for under $50. I knew exactly what I wanted to buy and what every mom needs this spring break. The ultimate beach bag! I was on a hunt and knew that they had some cute bags at Pottery Barn. Well friends, not only did I find the perfect beach bag, it was super cheap! I had originally wanted a canvas bag but they were not in stock at the store. I was ready to head out when I noticed that near the counter they had a basket of burlap bags that were the perfect size for a beach bag and super cute too and they were only $7.99! I was sold.
I still had over $40 dollars to spend! I honestly thought I would be spending all of my money on the bag and was super excited to have some extra cash to fill it up. We headed straight to the Disney Store and bought flip flops, sunglasses and even a beach towel. At the end of the day I still had $10 to buy dinner. It was a great shopping day at the Brea Mall!
I have my essentials and now I'm ready to finish packing up my bag. This is what I usually include:
- Towels
- Sunscreen
- Baby Powder to remove the sand. It works like a charm!
- sunglasses
- flip flops
- Eyedrops, helps with getting sand out of the eyes. You can also pack a small bottle of contact solution. I pack both!
- Wipes
- Kleenex
- Change, You can now pay your parking with a credit card, however I usually like to bring change for the concession stand at our favorite beach.
- Toys, Toys and more Beach Toys!
- We also pack a cooler with water, soda, juice, snacks, cut up fruit and sandwiches. I also usually bring beach chairs and an umbrella.
What do you pack in your beach bag?
Wordless Wednesday: Getting Her Craft OnPosted by: | Comments

SEA Lab in Redondo BeachPosted by: | Comments
One of my favorite places to visit with my kiddos are aquariums. The kids (and I) always learn something new and we always have a good time. We love learning about our beautiful oceans and the sea life that is found on our shoreline.Rachel had the opportunity to visit Sea Lab in Redondo Beach and shares about this great little place.
My kids love the ocean, so we often make trips to the beach and aquariums. With three kids under the age of four, I sometimes enjoy small, more intimate aquariums the most. One of our favorite places is the SEA Lab in Redondo Beach. Since we live nearby, we've been there many times. We were sad to hear last month that some bleach from a nearby plant had leaked into some tanks, killing leopard sharks and fish at the lab. But fortunately, the SEA Lab was able to get back on its feet quickly. The Cabrillo Aquarium donated three new leopard sharks to replace the two that had been lost. The touch tanks are back up and running. When we headed there one Friday afternoon last month, we found it as enjoyable as ever.
When we visited the SEA Lab, we arrived just in time for the first touch tank tour of the afternoon at 1:00 p.m. Volunteers give guided tours of touch tanks every Tuesday-Sunday. The tours are offered on the hour from 1-3 on weekdays, and 10-3 on weekends. The tour and museum are always free (though there is a recommended donation of $2 per person or $4 per family).Our tour lasted a little over half an hour, and we touched sea stars and anemones, looked at big spiny lobsters, searched for camouflaged halibut, touched shark eggs, and more. Our tour guide was well-informed and was able to answer all of our questions. After the tour, we explored a small one-room museum with a few other creatures in tanks. I especially loved the tanks that showed the life cycle of a jellyfish.
In addition to the tour, you can also feed the sharks if you visit on a Saturday at noon. On a previous visit, we did this. We fed the leopard sharks in a big outdoor tank. We paid $2 for a good-sized container of food (raw fish!) to feed the sharks. When we did this, my kids were too squeamish to touch the raw fish themselves, but they liked watching their daddy throw the fish to the sharks!
The SEA Lab is located near King Harbor at 1021 N. Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach. A metered parking lot is adjacent to the SEA Lab. The parking is $1 an hour, and we usually are able to see everything in the SEA Lab in under an hour. Sometimes after we visit the SEA Lab, we drive down the road and enjoy some time at the pier or the beach.
If you are in the area, I definitely wouldn't pass up this little gem of a place! For more information on the Redondo Beach SEA Lab, you can visit their website here.

From Pamela Jardieu, through Gene Allen's weekly email list:
"A new report called 'Historic Preservation and Right Sizing' from Donovan Rypkema's internationally renowned consulting firm, Place Economics. Utica (through Landmarks) is one of the cities analyzed in this nationwide report. We were selected because they consider us to be one of the top 20 hardest hit cities in America, and thus one of the municipalities most likely to be invested in addressing the challenges. (I won't editorialize here on that point, though I want to).
It offers best practices on rightsizing older industrial cities, i.e. "how do we reshape the physical urban fabric to meet the needs of current and anticipated populations". The study found an urgent need for a "comprehensive, locally tailored approach to long-range planning, and a more effective strategy to integrate historic preservation into planning decisions". Interestingly, the overwhelming majority of the cohort municipalities utilize their CDBG money blended with outside grant funds to accomplish these goals; something that we could do here in Utica as well.
If you aren't already familiar with Donovan Rypkema, he is a pioneer and leader in his field and someone worthy of your further study... his work on the economic benefits of historic preservation is legendary. As a complete aside, he is a personal hero of mine, and someone that I've long looked to for sage guidance and forward thinking ideas on a range of topics. I urge you to spend a few minutes with his brain.

Reasons for High Staff Turnover
People are joining and leaving organizations all the time. But some find it more difficult to keep people than others.
There are a number of reasons why organisations might suffer high staff turnover. Rates of turnover vary from one industry to another. Retail catering is always going to have more staff coming and going when compared to accounting firms, because many of the people who work in restaurants and bars are students or travellers taking short term positions to generate some income before moving on. But even a coffee shop can suffer from staff turnover higher than that of the industry average.
Experience shows the following to be major causes of high staff turnover:
- Below average rates of pay. Every industry has organisations that pay well and some that pay badly. There will always be a few employers who try to get away with paying as little as possible and high staff turnover is the inevitable result. Employees might stay a little longer in times of recession because no other work is available, but they know they're being exploited and will be looking for a way out.
- Poor training. Asking someone to do a job but not giving them adequate training is demotivating. Some people pick it up quickly and may even thrive on the challenge, but they are the exception. Often there are good intentions to train but other, apparently more important, things keep getting in the way. Managers continually under estimate the value of training staff.
- Weak leadership. In most organisations people work teams alongside colleagues performing complementary roles. Between them they run a process or deliver a solution or product, whether in a coffee shop or a bank. Teams perform at their best under clear leadership, where someone has a vision of how the team should work and the level at which it should perform. Weak leadership can lead to disagreements about purpose and direction, disharmony and employee discontent.
- Unreasonable expectations. Some managers expect too much from their staff, often because they don't know how to do the job themselves and don't understand why it takes longer than they think it should. Or they want an unreasonable level of commitment to unpaid overtime or working through breaks. This is often accompanied by the absence of positive feedback and encouragement.
- A history of high turnover. It can be difficult to break the cycle of high turnover. When new employees join an organisation they soon become aware of the culture and they quickly pick up on expectations about length of service. This will affect their own career planning and unless serious effort is put into breaking the cycle high turnover will continue.
A period of financial uncertainty or recession naturally reduces staff turnover as employees have fewer opportunities to move on. However, this is only a temporary and when the economy recovers organisations with a history of high turnover may struggle as a relatively high proportion of their labour force look to leave at the same time.

Al Di Meola: "If You Hear Something You're Unable to Play, You Have Room to Grow"
Al Di Meola: "If You Hear Something You're Unable to Play, You Have Room to Grow"
Al Di Meola
Related Content
FROM THE GW ARCHIVE: Al Di Meola gets the "Inquirer" treatment:
Who or what inspired you to play guitar?
Hearing the Ventures and Elvis Presley when I was eight years old. But my guitar teacher thought I should learn jazz standards first, and the training really paid off. I was taught theory, reading and understanding the instrument.
Can anyone learn to play fast like you?
Yes, if they're willing to put in the time. There's a myth that you need big hands, but it's not a help to have gigantic fingers because the frets themselves are small. I don't have big hands, but I do have a very wide span, and that's from developing it over the years; it's not a natural occurrence.
You were one of the inventors of jazz-rock fusion. Did any rock players influence you?
Not in the same way as jazz guys like George Benson and Kenny Burrell or country pickers with great technique like Clarence White and Doc Watson. I never thought of the rock players as having good technique. They have something else very appealing. I love the whole package of guys like Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana, but I never looked at them as people to imitate.
At your peak, how long did you practice each day?
Eight hours when I was at the Berklee School of Music. It wasn't easy. I would wake up at seven and practice as much as possible between classes, then play all night. I was a little obsessed. I would practice specific tunes, improvisation on the changes, inversions...the whole gamut.
Is there a point at which there's nothing left to practice?
If you hear something you're unable to play, then you have room to grow.
What's more important: learning to play a lot of notes fast or learning how to get the most out of a few notes?
You need both abilities: to be able to sing a melody and play with space, and also to have the requisite technique to play the most intricate music. That makes you more complete, and able to play a wider variety of music. It's a bunch of bullshit every time guitarists say, "One note says so much more than 100." I always laugh at idiots who make that claim. Tell that to a flamenco player or a classical player and see what they say. It's almost a defensive reaction. They take something they lack, attack it and claim they never wanted it in the first place. Sure!

In response to the below comment, I don't know Al personally, but I have been inspired by his playing throughout the years. I've never been offended by one of his interviews. Many great artists have egos but he's a great player and we can all learn from the greats.
April 29, 2014 at 6:01pm
I actually liked what he's done in the past as well. He does have something that is unique and it's stuck around long enough because it stands on its own. But, if you've gone through the experience I went through (along with a lot of other musicians who have met him) you would probably find it leaving an awful taste in your mouth as well. I was utterly appalled by his behavior and intolerance that it pretty much ruined his music for me. I also NEVER speak out on something like this. I'm a laid back person and love everyone. I just cannot stand intolerance. I'm someone that went to Berklee during the early 70's and I've been very lucky to have the career that I have. I'll go unnamed because I'm not looking to start anything big. But, I did want to respond to you, crossbone, because I usually always feel the same way you do- let live and live.
April 30, 2014 at 1:20am
I also went to Berklee in the 70's. I saw Al with Return To Forever at La Bastille in Houston 1974, and when I found out that he had attended Berklee, it did provide more encouragement to go there myself. I saw them again in L.A. a couple of years later at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, where Stevie Wonder sat in with them. Al's playing was just incredible, with no mistakes or sloppiness at all. A few years ago when RTF did their reunion tour I took my daughter, a young guitarist, to see them, and this time she was inspired by Al. I've tried to separate the personal life from the person's output. I can't always like or even know an artist. I was unable to separate the two only once, with trombonist Frank Rosolino, who shot his two sons in the head before committing suicide. After learning this fact, I could no longer listen to his music. So we all have our capacities of tolerance. Don't mind me though, I've been inspired by Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Tiger Woods, Ty Cobb, Lance Armstrong, Beethoven and George Patton. All the A holes who refused to take their hands off the throttle.
April 27, 2014 at 11:17pm
If any of you have ever met Al Di Meola, then you know that he's one HUGE AH. This is one of the biggest *ricks in the music business. He's an egoist of the highest order. He's an extremely insecure person and that's not a great place to be if you're in the real Jazz world. In his presence he doesn't want to hear about Pat Metheny, John Scofield and a lot of other REAL musicians who are way better than he is. He'll cut you off and tell you to shut the F up and don't mention that person's name again. He LITERALLY cannot stand it.
The best writers in the world are the ones that can put the most meaning in the least amount of words-- it's the same with music. The Beatles weren't shredders. You don't need a flurry of notes to make something better. The gift of Composition outweighs anything else out there. If you can mix that with knowing which notes are the best in improvisation over the Comp (to accent and bring the Comp to life), then you're even better. The best musicians are the best listeners... and they're the nicest people you'll meet too. Al Di Meola is none of those.

2 Chainz ft. Kreayshawn "Murder" (Video)
This is one of the strangest songs I have heard in a while, but the flow is dope and the visuals are fantastic.
This song is not a lyrical masterpiece, but I definitely can see dudes rollin down the street nodding heads to this one a couple times throughout the summer. Kreayshawn …definitely not the best verse I ever heard, but a very interesting cadence and delivery….still this video is fucking silly. A+ on the visuals, so good I almost wish they would have waited for the Remix to make the video.

Lazy Dog Cafe In Irvine Opening Date Moved Up
But just now, I got word that the 275-seat, 7,500-square feet restaurant (with an additional 1,000-square-foot space) is moving up that date to March 4th.
And I'm inclined to believe it. Driving by yesterday, there were new white window frames and actual work being done. Already, they've already transformed it beyond what Martin Yan's SensAsian and all the incarnations of David Wilhelm's eateries that existed in the space before had done.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL: Sterling City girls hold off Roscoe
Lady Eagles win defensive playoff battle
SAN ANGELO, Texas - WINTERS — The Sterling City girls basketball team felt that getting through District 14-1A Division II left them pretty battle-tested.
The Lady Eagles needed every bit of that close-game experience as Sterling City fought off a tough challenge from Roscoe on Monday night with a 32-29 win to punch their ticket to an area-round contest against Priddy (20-8) later this week.
The low-scoring, defensive contest fit all the stereotypes of a hard-nosed playoff game as buckets were tough to come by and nothing came easy.
"We have been in that situation quite a bit this year," Lady Eagles senior Savannah Jones said. "We had a bit of training for it and we didn't panic. We knew what to do with it and that is why we pulled it off."
Jones led the way with 14 points for the Lady Eagles — including seven in the first quarter — helping Sterling City to establish an early lead that it would play with for nearly the entire first half.
The Plowgirls' Faith Boren hit for two of her 14 points to give Roscoe its first lead of the game with 2:11 to play in the second, and in a hint of the defensive scrum the game would become, the teams went scoreless into the break.
The Plowgirls' actually extended their 17-15 halftime lead to 22-17 late in the third quarter as Sterling City went 5:34 without a field goal.
"Roscoe's biggest strength is defense and they were able to lock down there for a second," Sterling City coach Aaron Marks said. "We had some good looks but didn't make it. Luckily we were able to make enough down the stretch to squeak one out."
The Lady Eagles' run started with four straight possessions where they forced a Plowgirls' turnover.
Freshman Brittany Rauch started the scoring splurge, followed by Jones and junior Selena Navarro, who scored after pulling down an offensive rebound. The 6-0 run gave Sterling City a 23-22 lead after three quarter.
In a frenetic fourth — which saw just three made field goals — free throws were the difference.
Although neither team was hitting at a high clip — the Lady Eagles were 10-for-22 and Roscoe was 8-of-13 — it was Sterling City that made enough down the stretch.
"We know we are battle-tested," Marks said. "We have two of the best teams in the region in Water Valley and Garden City, and we have Bronte and Robert Lee which would have been playoff teams in a lot of other districts. Regardless of seed, we have a chance to make a little run.
"We are comfortable in these close games. We've won enough as of late."
Roscoe took its last lead at 28-27 when Boren went 1 of 2 from the line, but Jones answered with a runner and the Lady Eagles went 50 percent from the stripe on three straight possessions to hold off Roscoe.
"I don't think we would have pulled it out if we hadn't come from a tough district," Jones said. "We battled it out through district, and that is what prepared us for this game."
Sterling City 32,Roscoe 29
Roscoe 7 10 5 7 — 29

In 1998, researcher Barbara Fredrickson published a paper called "What good are positive emotions?" The paper discussed, in detail, the importance of positive emotions on cognition, action, and interpersonal relationships. While at the time it was arguably a risky scientific article, it turned out to be pivotal. Prior to this, most research focused almost exclusively on understanding and regulating negative emotions, and the study of positive emotions had taken a backseat. But in this paper, Dr. Fredrickson shined a light on just how important positive emotions are to our health, our relationships, and the quality of our lives—not just in the short term, but also in the long run.
A decade later, the impact of positive emotions is coming under the scrutiny of scientists as they continue to gain new understanding of how positive emotions can improve mental and even physical health.
What were some of the critical findings of Dr. Fredrickson's research on positive emotions? Why are the short- and long-term health benefits of positive emotions beneficial? And are there connections between the benefits of positive emotions and the benefits garnered from a regular yoga practice? The answer to the latter question is simple: Yes. Through an investigative lens, there is a clear connection between positive emotions and yoga. The answer to the former question, however, is both more complicated and exceedingly more fascinating.
Positive emotions have a positive physiological effect.
Researchers argue that one of the evolutionary effects of positive emotions is their "undoing effects" on negative emotions. It's probably no surprise, then, that negative emotions increase the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. For example, you may have noticed that when you feel fear your heart rate increases, your breath constricts, and basic bodily functions, such as digestion, are stifled. This is a common outcome of negative emotions.
Positive emotions, on the other hand, have a neutralizing effect on negative emotions. In Dr. Fredrickson's abovementioned study, participants were brought into the lab to determine whether or not positive emotions could help attenuate the impact of negative emotions. Subjects were told they were going to be asked to give a public talk (something meant to induce anxiety and fear). However, instead of making them speak, subjects were shown video clips. Some of the participants were shown fear-inducing videos; some watched neutral videos, while others viewed more pleasant videos. Researchers wanted to see if they "induced" a more positive mind-state in the subjects by showing them videos, the subjects would recover more quickly physiologically from the anxiety-provoking request. As it turned out, those who viewed the pleasant video clip recovered considerably quicker than the other two groups. In this study, positive emotions were shown to produce physiological resilience to a stress-inducing event. This evidence lays the groundwork for the argument that positive emotions help buffer against the long-term effects of stress. Arguably, positive emotions reduce allostatic load, the amount of stress we carry that may lead to disease.
Positive emotions increase "thought-action repertoires."
Another of Dr. Fredrickson's intriguing arguments? Positive emotions increase the number of perceived actions a person can take in response to a feeling. Her theory is that when we are experiencing positive emotions it is easier to imagine a variety of different responses to any given situation. Likewise, when we are experiencing negative emotions we have a limited number of perceived responses. Think about the well-known response to fear: fight, flight, or freeze. Not too many options, right? Dr. Fredrickson wanted to know if positive emotions encourage more possibilities in how to respond to a feeling. Participants were invited into the lab and were asked to view a video meant to elicit either a positive or a negative emotion. Afterward they were asked, "Given this feeling, please write down all the things you would like to do right now." Participants who were shown the more positive video wrote down significantly more actions than those who viewed the negative video.
Thus, positive emotions have the ability to broaden our attention and our actions—they have implicit benefits. Dr. Fredrickson writes that "people experiencing positive affect show patterns of thought that are notably unusual, flexible and inclusive, creative, integrative, open to information, and efficient."
Yoga induces positive mind-states.
How does this relate to yoga? In Kripalu's eight-week outreach program for frontline providers, we guide participants to experience this kind of shift. Before a yoga class we invite participants to write about a current issue or struggle they are dealing with. Then we have them practice yoga. At the end of the yoga class, they write about the troubling situation again and how they might take a step to resolve it. The consistent result: Participants almost always walk away from the experience with a clearer, more creative way to handle the situation—a way of managing the situation that had not occurred to them before the practice. Essentially, practicing yoga increases, as Dr. Fredrickson describes it, the "thought-action repertoire." There is something about yoga that helps to develop a new way of being and acting in the world.
Why? We know from research that yoga increases positive affect (or positive emotions) in participants. Yoga induces a positive mind state: We feel better after yoga, happier, more content, more at ease. As Dr. Fredrickson has shown, when we are under the influence of a positive emotion it is easier to make choices that are more reflective, and, hopefully, more life-affirming.
How to use this information in daily life.
Next time you notice you are experiencing a negative emotion, pause. Observe. See if when you feel a negative emotion like fear or anger your attention narrows. Likewise, when you are feeling happy or joyful, notice if your attention feels broader, if you can, think of the various ways you might respond to situations in your life. See if Dr. Fredrickson's theory is true for you. If you are experiencing a negative emotion take a few minutes to do your favorite yoga poses or yogic breathing. Perhaps you'll have more ideas afterward on how to manage whatever it may be that is bothering you. Use positive emotions as medicine.

AKRON, Ohio — Johnny Manziel was back in his element: on campus, in a stadium on a Saturday.
Cleveland's rookie quarterback, whose electrifying scrambles and how-did-he-do-that passes made him a college football star, showed off some of those dazzling skills as the Browns held a scrimmage at the University of Akron's InfoCision Stadium.
Manziel and Brian Hoyer continued their quarterback competition in front of 20,673 fans, who didn't see much scoring but got a chance to see Johnny Football in the flesh.
Manziel and Hoyer both had good and bad moments, and their battle to be Cleveland's No. 1 starter remains too close to call.
Browns coach Mike Pettine didn't want to analyze every pass, but he felt both QBs were efficient in moving their units.
"You saw Johnny, I saw what you guys saw," Pettine told reporters. "He made a couple nice runs, made some nice throws. Where most quarterbacks would step out of bounds, he got two completions there. And I thought Brian, especially in that first series, converted some third downs and was poised in the pocket. He stepped up and made some throws."
Manziel worked exclusively with Cleveland's second-string offense during the unscripted scrimmage, which began earlier than expected and was cut off a little early with threatening weather in the area.
Manziel made a crisp 14-yard completion to fellow rookie Willie Snead to convert on fourth down. Manziel also had an apparent touchdown pass dropped by wide receiver Charles Johnson in the end zone.
Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said the competition remains close and the coaching staff was waiting for one of the QBs to "take off."
Manziel unofficially finished 3 of 7 for 14 yards and had three runs for 23 yards. Hoyer went 7 of 11 for 56 yards.
Browns Pro Bowl tight end Jordan Cameron sustained a shoulder injury early in the scrimmage. Pettine said Cameron was held out as a precaution.
Also, Pettine said starting free safety Tashaun Gipson is expected to be back at practice next week after suffering a minor knee injury in Friday's practice.

Eleazar Soto took a photo of gray water backflowing from where his clothes washer drains on Jan. 21, 2013. / Submitted photo
Eleazar Soto stands in the middle of a basement that was once finished and converted to a master bedroom. Two sewage backflows in 2013 left the basement damaged, and Soto searching for reimbursement from the city of Ozark. / Rance Burger/News-Leader
An Ozark man will take problems with sewer lines before the Ozark Board of Aldermen after the citys insurance company declined to pay for damages to his house.
Eleazar Soto and his wife, Jessica, live on South Seventh Street with their two sons. They own one of the only houses in the neighborhood with a basement.
In 2013, the Sotos experienced two instances of raw sewage backing up and flowing into their finished basement, which houses their bedroom.
On Jan. 21, the family prepared to leave the house for an outing.
I went downstairs to go change and noticed water coming out of the drain for the washing machine. It was just flowing out, Soto said.
Soto called the Ozark Department of Public Works emergency hotline. Public works employees used a high-pressure jetting procedure to clear an obstructed line.
The first one were confident there was a problem with a main downstream, Ozark Director of Public Works Larry Martin said, adding that there was no way to be sure where exactly the obstruction happened. As it cleared, it, of course, just kept washing it downstream.
As public works employees jetted the line, problems in the basement migrated upstairs at the Soto house.
Similar sewage problems occurred in neighboring homes.
When waste water backs up into a home youd want to verify as quickly as possible the cause, whether it is a private line or part of a larger issue, Martin said.
The city has an employee on call 24 hours a day to answer calls to the Public Works emergency hotline.
Jessica Soto contacted ServiceMaster to clean up the house on Jan. 21. The overflow occurred about 10 a.m. A ServiceMaster employee showed up about noon to offer an estimated cleanup cost.
Eleazar Soto says he was told by a city employee that the Department of Public Works would need to sign off on the estimate before any work began, as though the city would be paying for the cleanup.
If it was us, if it was our fault, they would have been here an hour or so later if it was our fault. But the city told us to get a quote, Soto said.
I never saw a quote, and they didnt come out until 6 p.m. that night. If we would have known that we were paying for it, we would have said Do it right away, but we were doing everything the city told us to do, Jessica Soto said.
The Sotos filed a claim that reached the city of Ozarks general liability insurance carrier, Trident Insurance Services.
Soto says his claim that the city should be responsible to pay for damages to his recently remodeled basement was denied.
The insurance company reportedly paid for repairs at neighboring homes.
Why did they deny my claim and they paid for everyone elses damage? Soto said. Oh man, I was mad.
A second sewage backup struck the family on Labor Day weekend. Eleazar, Jessica and the boys took a weekend getaway and returned to another nightmare in their basement.
We came home, we were still in a good mood, and as soon as we opened up that (front) door, boom the smell just hit us in the face, Eleazar Soto said. There was standing sewage in the basement.
The Department of Public Works installed a backflow preventer in the Sotos front yard in September. The family has not experienced any issues with overflow since. Martin recommends any homeowner with a basement to install a backflow preventer.
As Eleazar Soto presses on with attempting to get the city to pay for repairs to his basement, an estimated $17,000, the Department of Public Works is more active in his neighborhood.
Martin says South Seventh Street and surrounding streets are on his staffs watch list. Crews increased the amount of line inspection with sewer cameras and line-jetting in the area.
Martin says he isnt sure of the status of Sotos insurance claim and why Trident Insurance Services would deny paying for damages.

Is there a connection between vaccines and autism?
- Parris
Autism is a term used to describe a group of conditions that involve brain development known as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) or pervasive developmental disorders (PDDs).
The cause(s) of these disorders is unknown; however, over the years many theories have appeared in the media suggesting that they might stem from a host of causes, including food allergies, excessive amounts of yeast in the digestive tract, and exposure to mercury or other environmental toxins. None of these theories have been scientifically proven.
The results of two studies done by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and colleagues (which were published in 1998 and 2002) led Dr. Wakefield to propose that the altered measles virus in the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, or infection with naturally occurring measles virus itself, might cause autism. Others have speculated that the very small amounts of mercury that were used as a preservative in some vaccines might also be a cause (the MMR vaccine has never contained mercury, and mercury has been completely removed from nearly all vaccines available today).
Many scientists have found serious problems with Dr. Wakefield's research and question the validity of his findings. And recently, the editors of the medical journal Lancet, which published Dr. Wakefield's study, said that the flaws were so significant that they've withdrawn the paper from their publication. Also, recently published results from several large, well-controlled, scientifically sound studies indicate that there is no link between vaccines or any of their ingredients and autism.
It's clear that the risks of serious reactions to the MMR and other recommended vaccines are small compared with the health risks associated with the often-serious diseases they prevent. But if you have concerns about any vaccine for your child, talk to your doctor. Ask about the benefits and risks of each vaccine and why they're so important for safeguarding your child's health.

Brazilian steelmaker bids for U.S. plants
Cia. Siderurgica Nacional SA, Brazil's third-largest steelmaker by output, is offering about $3 billion to buy ThyssenKrupp AG's plants in the Americas, according to people familiar with the matter.
CSN, as the Sao Paulo-based company is known, has made the informal proposal and will participate in the final round of negotiations.
ThyssenKrupp, Germany's biggest steelmaker, first attracted about eight bids. ThyssenKrupp asked parties to resubmit their offers because initial bids were deemed too low.
ThyssenKrupp Chief Executive Officer Heinrich Hiesinger said in August he wants to sell the Americas unit for about $9.1 billion.

Welcome to Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (aka PR:BF2), a free to download game modification for the Battlefield 2 (aka BF2) retail Windows PC game. The focus of this mod is to rework the original game engine developed by Digital Illusions of Sweden (Dice) within legal and feasible constraints to create a more realistic combat environment for the gaming community. This includes adjusting various game play elements including physics, visual effects and overall game play formats. Along with changes to how the game handles, the Project Reality team has been introducing British, Insurgent, IDF forces, Canadian, and Russian factions, plus a number of community assisted factions are currently in the works to introduce even more factions to the virtual battlefields. This Mod is not for the masses, due to the fact that it has a much higher learning curve then your classic arcade game. This is the real deal.

The best mod in the history of mods. They made this game so much better, and they keep updating it after al these years. Im really lookin forward to ProjectReality:ArmaII, but I will keep playing this one too.

The best mod there is, Not to easy and not to hard if you know hat you are doing. You will always get a new challenge when you play Project reality.
Good game play great bunch of guys playing this helpful and understanding when you are new to this game you can also sing up for training on the forums which is great, And it gives you the sense of reality that no other mod can give you.

Project Reality is on my top 5 mods I have ever played (I have played a lot of mods!)
The Mod itself, must be one of the hardest mods for the BF Engine, this is not a modification, it is a game and therefore i will refer to PR as a Game.
The Graphic is not the best on the market, but it's because of the engines capacities, because behind the textures and shaders, is it one of the most professional developers, and they do this for free, so we should be thankfully for them.
One of the funniest things in BF is the vehicles, it can change the battle and support infantry for tactical warfare. In this game, they have focused on the realism of the crew and what every crew member do for steering the vehicle. for example: the Leopard II has one Driver, one gunner and one machine gunner. Therefore you need at least 2 players to make the tank effective and 1 to drive. They have also changed a lot of soft-codes, but they have "walked around" the hard-codes, so you don't have any limits in the engine [without graphics and supported formats] Another role, is that you can use the same vehicles from BF, but they are harder to control, and helicopters is a burden! you have to be a good fighter pilot, for flying a copter in high speed, it is so realistic i gave up flying after an hour with a lot of tutorials! You can also call in support hellfire from team players in copter and synchronized help is now possible. The tanks and APC has night-vision and thermal-sights and just makes the realism even better!
The infantry role is obvious the most difficult and most important role in modern warfare. In Project Reality, the role as infantry is realistic and action-filled. The weapons have a lot more recoil and you will need team members or squads to help you. The realism is really clear in this part of the game. You can play as all from insurgents to America, and all the weapon is typical for the faction.
I just say one word: Teamplay!
10/10 Play it folks
Dec 6th, 2010 4 people agree 0 people don't
awsome realistic game best of ffs just awsome all battlefield players should check this mod
Dec 4th, 2010 4 people agree 0 people don't
The best.

Awesome, even Arma2 OA with Ace2 ,warfx and plenty more mods. Cant even scratch the epicness of PR:BF2

awesome i need play this
Dec 10th, 2010 5 people agree 1 person doesn't
Absolutely incredible mod. The Project Reality team has taken the enjoyable chaos of standard BF2, and turned that into a game where you need to rely on yourself, your team, your communication skills, your reactions and leadership in order to be successful. This is one of the few games where it's possible to have great fun even if your team is getting completely owned.

In both the EU and the US carbon policy correctness has run its course having been discredited by scandal, the persistence of scientific method, and public pressure to recognize market realities. The proponents of carbon policy changes are caught between panic and despair. They came so close to implementing their policy regimes, and cannot now accept that the world has said 'No!' The evidence of the death rattle of carbon policy has been presenting itself for a while but like a degenerative …Continue Reading »
The 'Death Rattle' of Carbon Policy
EPA Plays 'The Hunger Games' with Coal
The US EPA proposed new rules March 27, 2012 that limit the amount of carbon dioxide that may be emitted at new US power plants. The notice of proposed rulemaking was careful to point out that the proposed rules would not apply to existing power plants, modified plants or those under construction. The practical effect of the proposed rules on carbon emissions would be to ban new coal plant construction unless the new plant reduces its emissions output to the level of a natural gas fired …Continue Reading »

America's Energy Policy Reality #4: Use the Bust to Plan the Next Boom
The energy business has always been a boom and bust place to be. Driven by supply and demand fundamentals we always seem to repeat the same behaviors that got us where we are.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) recently announced $39 million in statewide transportation infrastructure projects, a list which includes a $15.7 million reconstruction for the I-75 interchange at Jodeco Road in Henry County.
"It will consist of bridge construction above the Interstate, widening ramps and relocating two surface roads," said GDOT Press Secretary David Spear. "The work will be done by E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc., of Snellville ... and is scheduled to be completed by the summer of 2015."
Spear said the project is designed to alleviate mounting traffic congestion on the south side of Atlanta.
"That area has grown so much," he said. "Everything on [Interstate] 75, particularly through Henry, is just slammed. This is just an attempt to provide some relief in the Jodeco Road corridor. We're in the process of finishing one up north of there, in Clayton County on Jonesboro Road.
He added that GDOT is also preparing to begin work on an auxiliary lane from Eagle's Landing Parkway/Hudson Bridge Road, north to the interchange at I-675."
"In that particular stretch, you'll have four lanes in each direction," said Spear.
Spear said the Jodeco Road project would complement efforts being undertaken as part of the Transportation Investment Act of 2010. On July 31, voters in a 10-county region, which includes Henry, will decide whether to approve a 1-cent sales tax for the next 10 years, for local and regional transportation projects.
Spear said the Jodeco Road project will be funded by state and federal gasoline tax revenue, not funds from the referendum.
"Information on construction and lane closure schedules will be forthcoming before work begins," he said.

Where to celebrate St Patrick's Day in Nottingham
Posted: March 15, 2013|
IRISH eyes will be smiling (and probably going just a little bit out of focus due to the Guinness) this weekend as Nottingham pulls out all the stops to celebrate St Patrick's Day.
With a colourful parade and a line-up of fab family entertainment in the Old Market Square – and as the big day happens on Sunday, a huge crowd will be gathering to, er, make merry.
This is the 14th annual parade and festival celebrating Ireland's patron saint in Nottingham.
"With it being held on a Sunday, the event is expected to draw even larger crowds than previous," says spokesman Paul Curtis. "We could have 10,000-plus lining the route and gathered in the Old Market Square."
The parade will start gathering at Forest Recreation Ground from around 11am – before the two-mile walk to the city centre. This year County Kerry leads the procession and Chief Marshall will be Donal Murphy, a Kerry man now living in the city.
Schools – including Our Lady of Perpetual Succour and St Mary's School in Bulwell and the Good Shepherd, Arnold – will also take part.
Also there will be Nottingham St Barnabas' GAA, the Nottingham Branch of Comhaltas Ceoiltiri Eireann, the Nottingham Irish Golf Society, Celtic Supporters Club, Golden Shamrock Club, Nottingham Irish Studies group, the Nottingham Irish Set Dancing group as well as the Dancing Academy of Glenndaragh and the McManus School. Look out for Mick Carty's traditional Irish themed float, complete with steam engine.
Trinity School Band, Nottingham Police Band, The Tartenaires and the Zumba band will provide the music.
The parade will be greeted in the Old Market Square by Nottingham Lord Mayor Councillor Leon Unczur and dignitaries including the First Secretary of the Irish Embassy, the Bishop of Nottingham Malcolm McMahon and the Deputy Mayor of Kerry. Entertainment in the Square gets under way from 11.30am with Irish music and entertainment. Headliners will be Irish ballad group Na Fianna.
Meanwhile, Nottingham hosts a selection dance on April 13 to choose a representative to compete in the famous Rose of Tralee competition.

Half-brainer will get the last word
Dear Mr. Bostos:
I am allowed to have my opinion as you do, and I believe you have jumped the gun on this one. There will be four more years of your president running this country into the ground. The reasons he persevered is he and his liberal associates in the White House allow illegal people to vote, which is earned by being a citizen of the United States, not having it handed to you. He keeps handing money to almost half of the American people so he will get their votes as well. Reports on television state his cronies were out getting homeless people to vote. I would like to know if these people were even eligible to do so and even "half-brainers" should be questioning it as well.
How do you feel about the situation in Libya? Those people asked for additional security and were told no (according to ABC and other news sources) by your president of choice. They were then slaughtered. To me, this means you uphold a man who in my mind committed murder.
The American citizens found out it was terrorism two weeks before the election and after absentee ballots had been cast. This is an upstanding government? After the next four years I believe you will be one of the first "half-brainers" to complain. On one hand it is OK to complain because you voted but on the other hand you have no to right to complain because you got exactly what you voted for.
I guess the highest debt ever by any president and the highest unemployment rate (forbes.com) since the Great Depression means nothing to you. Don't be so self-centered. You should be worried about what this is going to cost your children and grandchildren. This country will never be the same thank you to all the "half-brainers."
Hats off to those who had the brains not to vote for Obama. Especially since he stated during his first campaign if he couldn't turn things around in the first four years he shouldn't have a second term, but I guess the "half-brainers" forgot that statement.
Mr. Bostos, I look forward to hearing from you in four years and it should be interesting to see if you hang your head in shame and issue an apology to the ones with whole brains.

Stop bickering; fix what's broken
The great spending election of 2012 is now over. Some of you are crying, some are happy and we all lost.
Six billion spent on getting people who have only themselves on their minds, have lost a battle for their greed. Methinks that money alone does not an election win.
So let's look at what we did win. Nothing. We have the same really bad Congress and Senate. We have a president who has to fight the same battles with the same nut-cases and a more divided nation than we had before.
I read today all the Christian letters in the paper and ask myself several questions.
One, since we can spend $6 billion on elections can we get you guys to send that much to Sandy Relief? My guess is no. Spending money on real people is out of the question since there does not appear to you folks that there is a return on the investment. Sad, really sad when this so-called Christian nation would rather spend money to get their way rather than on real people.
Two, if corporations are people, should Mitt and people like him be charged with murder when they kill a corporation? Seems to me we are all off track. We fight about pro-life but where are the plans and funds for us to take care of all those lives you so want to save. I don't see a shortage of kids who need homes but I see a bunch of people who want to create a problem they don't have to deal with.
My mom once told me if you mind your own business one day you will wake up and find no one will help you if you need it because they are too busy minding their own business and have learned not to care about yours.
So here we go again. If we have learned anything it should be stop the name-calling and get to work together on fixing what we broke. We can do this, I hope.

$500,000, that's the gift from the Barnstable Brown family to help diabetes research at the University of Kentucky.
A match from Kentucky's Research Challenge trust fund will boost the total to one million dollars.
The Barnstable Brown family raises money every year through their Derby Eve Gala in Louisville. The money will go to fund tools for the pediatric diabetes laboratories.
Patricia Barnstable Brown lost her husband to diabetes in 2003.
The Barnstable Brown Gala has raised more than $2.8 million for diabetes research at UK, including matched state funds.

Issac Askeroth, a resource officer at Canyon View High School, talks with students during lunch Friday. Iron County strives to keep schools safe by posting police officers at schools and following other safety procedures.

In the wake of the shooting of teachers and students in Newtown, Conn., a month ago, the Iron County School District is working to make sure parents are aware the distict's top priority is maintaining safe schools.
Jim Johnson, superintendent for the ICSD, said the district has sent a letter to students' parents communicating the security plan and policies. He said the district asks that parents follow the plan carefully by checking in at the office whenever they go onto a school campus and not entering rooms unless they have permission to be there.

Welcome to this week's Danny's Picks! Today I have a short film (very short film) called "Little Big War." Made in 2011, tt's another short film by Wolf Smoke Animation Studio, which I featured in a past pick: Kungfu Cooking Girls.
The film features the "super-flat" animation style reminiscent of several Gainax or Studio 4°C animations such as Dead Leaves, Red Line or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. The general story here seems to be a war inside the sick boy's body. The two heroes dressed in white seem to be white blood cells (the immune system) while the disease is represented by the toxic city/soldiers with gas masks. The short film is a great example of a very direct, poignant story told visually through fabulous animation

Tintable Glazing Saves Energy On Demand
As long as humans have been building windows, we've been tinkering with ways to let in daylight and provide views to the outdoors while controlling glare and the movement of heat.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Most windows don't meet occupants' desires under all conditions, explains Stephen Selkowitz, head of the Building Technologies Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Clear glass often lets in more light or heat than desired, while tinted glass often blocks more light or heat than desired. "In an ideal world, all windows would be able to dynamically control transmittance, glare, solar gain, and daylight at any time to manage energy, comfort, and view," says Selkowitz. "It's the holy grail of the glass industry and the technology of the future."
The only product currently meeting that ideal in the U.S., according to Selkowitz, is SageGlass, produced by Sage Electrochromics.
"SageGlass windows and skylights can be tinted to block solar heat gain without blocking the building occupants' view," explains Lou Podbelski, AIA, Sage's vice president of sales and marketing. In tests run by LBNL, SageGlass has been shown to reduce energy costs by 10 to 28 percent. "Less fossil fuels burned means less pollution, which is good for the environment, and lower operating costs, which is good for the building owner," he says.
SageGlass is transparent in its neutral state; at the push of a button, however, an electrical current darkens the glass over the course of a few minutes. For a standard SageGlass window, the visible transmittance drops from 62 to 3.5 percent, and the solar-heat-gain coefficient drops from 40 to 1.5 percent. While about 0.28 watts of electricity per square foot are required to darken the glass, only 0.10 watts per square foot are needed to maintain the darkened state.
Tintable Glass
Sage formally launched SageGlass in early 2006, and it now sells the product through several commercial and residential skylight, window, and curtainwall companies. SageGlass is far more expensive than conventional, low-emissivity glazing—it ranges from $75 to over $100 per square foot, says Podbelski, plus 4 to 12 percent for controls. This premium is limited, however, by the fact that SageGlass obviates the need for shading systems.
"When you take into consideration the cost of other solar-control products, such as exterior sunshades or mechanized shades," says John Van Dine, president of Sage, "the margin gets close, and SageGlass is sometimes less expensive than the combination of these products." In some cases, SageGlass could even allow for a smaller heating and cooling system, dramatically reducing or eliminating the cost premium.
While Sage maintains a monopoly on the market for electronically tintable glazing in the U.S., Selkowitz says that similar products are available in Europe and Japan, including one from Saint-Gobain for use in automobiles. "Sage's challenge, and that of other manufacturers offering similar technology," says Selkowitz, "will be to deliver that functionality at an affordable price that meets all market needs," including proven durability and controls integration. "They are still on the early part of the product life-cycle curve, so there's lots of time for price to come down and integration issues to get sorted out." He believes that electronically tintable glazing will eventually gain prominence in the U.S. market, but he's also keeping an eye on related technologies, including photochromic glass, which automatically darkens when exposed to a certain level of UV radiation, as well as motorized shades and blinds.
Van Dine believes that electronically tintable glazing will be mainstream within a decade, once the price drops below $35 per square foot and the marketplace gains familiarity with the product. "Once people start experiencing what it can do for them, they will wonder how they ever got along without windows they can tint on demand," he says.
