This post consolidates all of the WIT field mapping configuration templates and examples that we are aware of and that you could use as a starting point when considering the use of TFS Integration Tools to migrate work item types.
Do you know of more which should be on this list? If yes, please add a comment to this post contact me with the details.
The out-of-the-box documentation also contains the Configuration File Overview document and a wealth of real-world example configuration files.
Any idea if Rally or Fogbugz tfs integration mappings are available?
@Shawn, not aware of any, but I will be refreshing this post as new field mappings are identified.
Is there a way to integrate mapping for NetSuite Issues to TFS bug template?
Willy any idea on NetSuite issues?
@Kris, the TFS Integration Tools do not include an adapter for Netsuite. You can keep an eye on partner solutions on msdn.microsoft.com/.../bb840033 for a custom solution.
Bummer. We've decided we can't move to TFS for issue tracking and issue tracking is what our upper management wanted to see on the boards. we've decided to just use TFS for source control check-in check out. We aren't using TFS for builds either as we already have team city. Thanks for the confirmation, hopefully Microsoft will deliver an adapter for NetSuite in the future.
Any hope of a MSF Agile to the new Scrum (2013)?
Hi all, is anyone aware of a CMMI 2013.4 to Agile 2013.4 mapping configuration? I see above that the CMMI 6 to Scrum 2 above is listed as under construction -- was anything ever done with this -- it might be a good starting point for me otherwise.

Church bans yoga
Reading the tabloids is a bad habit I've developed this summer. I've weaned myself off most of them, though, but I can't quite quit the British tabloid the Sun ("Got a story? We pay £££"). Today's edition reports that a Methodist church near Manchester has banished an over-50s yoga group, leaving elderly yogis throwing up their hands. The church's new minister fears the yogis could be preaching "rival religions"—more specifically, Hinduism and Buddhism. Iris Turner, a 64-year-old yogini, isn't happy with the church's new minister, Rev. Amanda Roper: "Her views are extreme," she tells the Sun. "We are hurt, disappointed and offended." Mrs. Turner invited Rev. Roper to take part in the classes "to allay her fears."
A few more of today's Sun headlines:
"Muslims Pray in the Wrong Direction":
Indonesians have been facing Africa, not Mecca, when praying: The Sun reports that "Indonesia's highest Islamic body has admitted making a mistake when issuing advice on which direction followers should pray in."
"Nuns on the Run from Retirement":
Two French nuns have taken flight because their mother superior wants to put them in a retirement home.
I think it's the Sun's spiritual coverage that keeps me coming back.

Share with a Friend
With the addition of the Muslims praying in the wrong direction and the nuns on the run in France I am laughing out loud. The Sun's spiritual coverage would keep me coming back for more as well! I'm still laughing.
Karin - not only fear but closed minded ignorance.
I was of the mind that Methodists were a bit more open and liberal than this. Our local Methodist Pastor just sent their daughter to India for a year to have her learn about the culture and spirituality. They do yoga and meditate daily. I think this minister runs on fear.
I thought "over 50s" meant you were no longer in your 50s. I also get the impression that Mrs. Turner, at 64, is one of the younger people in the group, but true, 64 isn't all that elderly, so I concede your point. In my case, at 51, I'm feeling elderly, but that's just me.

Repeats of nightly unrest in Ferguson, Mo., have served as a warning on the dangers of militarizing the nation's police forces.
The unrest started after an unarmed black teenager was shot by a police officer. What started as peaceful protests at times degenerated into violence and looting. While much information is still unclear about the shooting that prompted the unrest, there's little question that the heavily militarized police response to protests made things worse, not better.
For several nights, police responded with a military-style armored vehicles and officers dressed in military-grade body armor. That only ratcheted up tensions in a community that already felt under siege. It was only after Missouri state police took control of the response — sending in uniformed officers to mingle with the crowd and urge calm — that the violence ceased.
The militarized response drew criticism across the political spectrum, from Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals.
Local police forces have become more militarized since the 1990s, first to enforce drug laws, then as a response to potential terrorism. Congress passed laws requiring the military to provide surplus equipment to local law enforcement.
That includes armored vehicles called MRAPs, for mine-resistant, ambush-protected. MRAPs are vital tools to a military force facing improvised-explosive devices in combat. They have questionable value for police in small towns or on college campuses.
Yet a report from New Mexico Watchdog earlier this year found that small towns like Ruidoso, Carlsbad, Deming, Bloomfield and Alamogordo had received surplus MRAPs. The New Mexico State University Police Department also received a surplus MRAP.
The El Paso Police Department has not received an MRAP through the military surplus program, though its SWAT team has a similar vehicle it purchased new with federal grant money, a spokesman said.
Such armored vehicles can serve an important purpose in a narrow range of circumstances, particularly in urban areas, such as protecting police or civilians under fire.
But deploying them in other settings, particularly to routine crime scenes or to respond to civil unrest, seems unwise. We don't need our towns and cities looking like combat zones.
Worse, overuse of such vehicles blurs the lines between the functions of police and military force. The problems with that were on display in Missouri in recent nights.
El Paso and other cities have had great success in reducing crime through community policing, which at its heart views police and citizens as a team. A military response, on the other hand, casts the citizenry as an enemy. A community-focused, rather than militaristic, approach yields multiple dividends, the most important being trust. When video was released several weeks ago showing an El Paso police officer shooting a handcuffed prisoner, the video stirred extensive debate but no protests and no violent reaction.
Trust between police and community is hard-earned. Militarism will quickly erode trust.

What is surprising is that peaches can take you from salad to dessert without being too sweet, too monotonous, or, well, too peachy. Carole Seminara and her husband, Joe Houde, innkeepers in Fredericksburg, also operate the cooking school, which is open to visitors year-round. Most lessons are $49 for two hours, include 4-5 recipes, and serve "ample samples" for consumption. For a September class of eight people, they prepared the peachy meal to show off the region's local ingredients – not only peaches but jalpeños, goat cheese, pecans and various herbs.
While cooking, Seminara and Houde, both native Texans, effortlessly dropped Texas trivia, history and local gossip into the lesson, providing context for the meal. Peach farming came to the area in 1846 with the first German settlers, who recognized that the climate and soil were perfectly suited for peach production. Today there are 1,400 acres of peaches farmed, with 12 varieties commonly produced, from Bicentennial to Springold. Peaches attract tourists, and not just culinary types: people turn up for peach blossom viewing in late March, harvest from mid-May though early August, and orchard tours throughout the summer. -JANICE FUHRMAN

LO who is otherwise an awesome sleeper is suddenly waking 2x per night for the past week or so. It's not teeth because I tried Tylenol before bed one night and it made no difference. And it's not over tired because her routine and naps are the same. Also, she typically just needs a hug for like 5 minutes and then goes back down calm and awake and falls back asleep on her own. Although one or two nights it took over an hour. Any ideas what's going on?
Suddenly waking 2x per night?

MOTN separation anxiety.
(So jealous you have had a good sleeper this far)
(So jealous you have had a good sleeper this far)
Posted 04/28/2013
Oh I am also in the same situation. My lo started getting up two times in the night from last week and it takes min 1 hr for him to go back to sleep each time. I am not sure whats going on.
Posted 04/28/2013
Mine did this for 3 weeks. The first two weeks, I had to rock him back to sleep and it took 1-3 hours to get him back in bed. By the third week, I was exhausted (pregnant with twins the whole time and still working full time). So, DH went in and laid on the floor next to the crib and gently shushed LO until he went back to sleep. It took him less than an hour the first night, 30 minutes the second night, and then I was able to do it the third night and 2 more nights. Now I just have to lay there for 3 minutes whenever he wakes up, but he puts himself back to sleep 90% of the time before I even get to his room. It was actually a great turning point for us, as I had always had to rock him back to sleep until that point.
Posted 04/28/2013
Oh, but DH had to be the one to try laying on the floor. If I went in, DS had to be picked up because he was super attached to me.
Posted 04/28/2013
I'm thinking separation anxiety might make sense. She only wants me, not DH, I'm 7 months pregnant ( although I'm not sure she totally grasps the concept), and we just started a new drop off baby sitting routine for a few hours a week. All makes sense. So I guess I'll just wait it out and try not to create any bad habits in the meantime.
Posted 04/28/2013
Omg. This is out of control. She's been up every 2 hours tonight. I have no idea what to do.
Posted 04/28/2013
I've resorted to Walking in, telling her to lie down and stop crying (which she does). I don't need to touch her. I tell her I need to sleep too and that I'm right out side if she needs me but I'm sleeping too. She's totally fine and calm and then the second I close the door to leave she starts crying again. I'm at my wits end tonight.
Posted 04/28/2013
DD has never STTN. Ever. So, we are completely used to her being up 1-2x/night. I'm jealous of anyone who says their kid sleeps 11-12 hours straight through.
DDs MOTN separation anxiety was BAD. We actually resorted to sleeping on the couch or co-sleeping with her. The moment she SAW her crib it was 'game over'. Deafening cries and screams; shouting 'NO' at the top of her lungs. This was after we took 30+ minutes to calm her down. It took about 2 weeks before the madness stopped.

Same thing is happening here. Dd would wake up multiple times while she was teething then it got better and now she's waking up again. It's gotten to the point that we created a little cot on the floor and if she gets out of bed she'll sleep on that- in her room. We close the door so she cannot get out and try not to go in her room because that is just fueling the fire and I don't want to start any bad habits.

I have used Purdy for over 10 years - never been shorted and the drivers are the best - always drove there trucks like a pro and even dropped the rock over a larger area so I didn't have to work as hard. There always on time and way nice people to work with. thanks for running your shop through the eyes of the customer..
Avoid company shorted 2 deliveries
by Frequent bark user , 09/02/2014
Shorted delivery again- do not order from themOver fifteen years ago, I had ordered from Purdy topsoil and they shorted my order of beauty bark and rocks and I refused to order any more from them. Because another company I used in Tacoma does not deliver to my rental home area any more, I thought I would try to order from Purdy topsoil again, hoping they had changed their practice of shorting orders. I ordered 15 yards of bark from Purdy to freshen the existing bark cover and I was delivered about 10 yards. Their truck was about half full and they had told me their truck carries 20 yards. The shortage was verified by my worker, tenant and husband. When I called about the shortage, they insisted it was 15 yards and refused to deliver the shortage. Since I have always ordered 15 yards every 3 years from the other company and another company in Tacoma over the last 24 years for this house and another home previously, I knew Purdy's delivery amount was short. There should have been enough bark to cover the yard and still have another 5 yards for future use which I usually stored on the side of the house. There was no extra bark left. They knew I was from out of town and did not have time to wait until Weights and Measure dept person came to measure their delivery. Avoid this company like the plague as they are dishonest and basically charged over $35 per yard of bark plus tax
100% Satisfied

Once known as the "slaughterhouse to the world," Chicago helped create our mechanized, industrialized food system. But the Second City has come a long way since the days of Upton Sinclair. This is a town that loves to eat, and these days, whether its sustainable fishmongers or seasonal bakers, Chicago residents know where to find "food done right."
Bang Bang Pie Shop
Head baker Megan Miller and her coffee roaster husband Dave started Bang Bang Pie Shop as a food truck. They opened their Logan Square shop last April, with business partner Michael Ciapciak, who introduced hearty, sour cream-based biscuits to their store. Megan offers only three pies per week, a seasonal fruit, chocolate, and cream-based pie, using Smoking Goose lard in her crusts unless otherwise specified. She resists the demand for popular fruit pies out of season. Pumpkin pie will use real pie pumpkins, roasted in-house then pureed, rather than the industry standard of canned, which is often not the orange pie pumpkin but another variety of squash instead. The biscuits, available with or without Smoking Goose ham from Indiana, allow access to the butter and seasonal house-made jam bar. The signature black pepper honey can always be found among the soft, spreadable compound butters. Recent jams included a chunky blueberry lavender. Megan, Dave, and Michael work closely with their community, providing pie to church events across the street, and serving as a social gathering place. Sit inside on assorted recycled chairs, all painted red, or outdoors in the side yard planted with herbs, vegetables, and even new stone fruit trees.
The Butcher & Larder
Husband and wife owners Rob and Allie Levitt — head butcher and baker respectively — opened The Butcher & Larder, Chicago's only sustainable, all-whole animal butcher shop, in 2011. At the now-shuttered Mado restaurant, where they won a Michelin Bib Gourmand as the chef and pastry chef, the young Levitts had forged relationships with small, Midwestern farm families who raised their animals responsibly. They've now set up shop further down Milwaukee Avenue in Noble Square, where the Levitts and their tight band of butchering chefs custom cut meat on an expansive butcher-block table out in the middle of the shop. It's performance art meets meat. They offer the community more than just steaks and chops, making their own bacon, ham, corned beef, sausages, pâté, and other assorted charcuterie. Perhaps more importantly, they engage in dialogue, sometimes suggesting a lesser known, less expensive cut—and other times pull out a special occasion piece. Those who want to sink their teeth into even more will find author events and special classes. Except for Sunday, they serve a daily-changing menu of only two sandwiches—one hot, one cold. A recent pork belly creation: tender meat chilled then sliced tissue-thin, on bread soaked with crisp and super-hot house-made giardiniera. In the winter they add soups, like an intensely rich oxtail soup that might have served as a blood transfusion in a pinch. Feel free to eat in at the standing counter; there are no tables.
City Provisions
Chef/owner Cleetus Friedman started City Provisions as monthly farm dinner supper clubs, before opening his Ravenswood deli and catering company in 2010. This was after writing and performing as an aggressive, white, Jewish, hip-hop artist. Friedman works hands-on with local artisans, from bees to beers, and most recently a sparkling wine with Illinois Sparkling Company and Rare Tea Cellar called Freak of Nature. He built the shop with reclaimed materials, stocks it fiercely locally, bans petroleum-based materials in his kitchen, recycles, composts, and even cuts up squares of his own freshly laundered old T-shirts to use as hand towels. Friedman says when he looks around his shop he doesn't see products—he sees relationships. Sit inside or out in the shadow of the Brown Line tracks, on an otherwise quiet and tree-lined stretch of Wilson, when weather permits. He employs his own in-house butcher and still cooks frequent farm dinners onsite, somehow finding time as the father of twins. Friedman, who lost his own father to scleroderma in 1991, helped create Cooking Up a Cure, which raises funds for the Scleroderma Foundation Greater Chicago Chapter.
Dirk's Fish and Gourmet Shop
Head fishmonger Dirk Fucik might have his name on the door, but it's wife and co-owner, Terry, who has been bringing the gourmet to the sustainable seafood table since Dirk's Fish and Gourmet shop opened in 2003. When the Illinois Department of Natural Resources' Target Hunger Now program asked them to serve Asian carp at the Taste of Chicago to showcase the culinary potential for the invasive species, Terry created a recipe for Asian carp sliders. The Fuciks grilled her mini herbed fish burgers over hardwood charcoal, then served them with her tomato jalapeño chutney. Taste crowds—initially wary—were hooked at first bite. At their shop on the Clybourn Corridor, their pristine, fresh seafood is so beautifully displayed that you'll never notice what's missing: bluefin tuna—wild or ranched; unagi; imported sturgeon caviar, marlin, orange roughy, or shark. With nearly 40 years in the fish business, Dirk does his homework, consulting not only the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch list but researching individual fisheries as well. Their classes teach not only cooking but sustainability too. Six seats at three bistro tables are available for sushi, sandwiches, sweets, and soups. Don't miss their takes on classic fishermen's soups, including gumbo, bouillabaisse, and cioppino.
Floriole Cafe & Bakery
Sandra Holl says that although her Paris-born husband Matthieu may not be a trained chef, his palate for pastry makes her a better baker. We can say merci to both Sandra and Matthieu at Floriole, the Lincoln Park cafe and bakery they opened in 2010. They got their start five years earlier, selling Sandra's now-signature rustic seasonal galettes at Green City Market, made with fruits and vegetables from fellow vendors. Already beloved, the freeform pies are really special when studded with ruby red raspberries from Sandra's mother's garden, or harvested from the rooftop beds. Organic flour is used in her bread, pastries, and cookies, which surprises some stagiaires. But Sandra says part of giving back means taking the time to explain the importance of ingredients, including why they don't make pastry cream from a powdered mix, and providing a good, enriching experience for the next generation of bakers. The bakery's floor-to-ceiling front windows open completely in good weather, serving sandwiches, salads, and house-made yogurt, and there is cafe seating in back plus a handful of sidewalk tables. Floriole also hosts occasional collaborative dinners where dietary restrictions are accommodated—happily.
Katherine Anne Confections
Chocolatier Katherine Duncan has worked out of her shop space for years now, quietly making chocolate truffles, marshmallows, and caramels for a loyal following at farmers markets and small stores across the city. But her newly opened confiserie, Katherine Anne Confections, also serves French-inspired chocolat chaud, melting E. Guittard artisan chocolate into Kilgus Farmstead milk, before crowning Alice in Wonderland-oversized porcelain cups with marshmallow clouds. Duncan still infuses truffles with Seedling Farm fruit she purees herself whenever possible, and hand-grates carrots for uniquely American carrot cake truffles. She's also collaborating with a different local chef each month to create a charity chocolate truffle. First up: a Bad-Ass bourbon bacon chocolate truffle by City Provisions chef/owner Cleetus Friedman, benefitting the Scleroderma Foundation. Duncan learned the art of confectionary from her mother, with some help from her library of cooking magazines, on her family's sustainable farm in Wisconsin. The shop also serves locally roasted Ipsento coffee, locally blended Senteamental tea, and pastries from new farmers market vendor Beurrage, all at reclaimed wood tables.
Maria's Packaged Goods & Community Bar
Everyone in Bridgeport knows Korea-born owner Maria Marszewski is the namesake of Maria's — and a few call her Mom too. She actually is Mom to Polish-Korean-American co-owners Ed and Mike Marszewski, and the gardienne of this classic slashie: half liquor store/half neighborhood bar. First opened in 1939 as Kaplan's Liquors and bought by Maria in 1986 (who was supposed to be retiring from hairdressing, she'll tell you all about it), the space was transformed by the brothers Marszewski in 2010. Mike did the DIY reno with restored and reclaimed wood. With nearly 500 beers in cans, bottles, and on tap, they may carry the greatest selection in the city. They serve predominantly craft beers and spirits, but still keep Old Style for longtime regulars. They also make their own ginger beer, in collaboration with Filbert's, the South Side soda makers since 1926. Ed, who is also a patron of the arts, magazine publisher, and community organizer, plans to brew their own beer as well. It's Ed who said the turning point for him was becoming a father. He changed Maria's not only to be a better shop but also, he hopes, to help Bridgeport become "The Community of the Future".
Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread & Wine
Co-owners and life partners Ken Miller and Greg O'Neill opened their cheese shop Pastoral in 2004, but even after successful careers in tech and marketing respectively, they couldn't have predicted the fruition of their little East Lakeview fromagerie. Now with three shop locations—they're also downtown at Lake and Wabash and at the West Loop's French Market—they also added a small 40-seat restaurant (Bar Pastoral) opened next to their flagship in October. While they carry artisan cheese from around the world, their best seller is the Prairie Fruits Farms chevre frais from Champaign. Their Midwest cheese platters with seasonal accompaniments and bread highlight the best local components at their peak. Their connection to artisan producers extends to how products are displayed, aged, and explained to reflect and respect their roots. When possible, Pastoral buys cheese from sustainable sources that grow their own feed for small herds of pasture-raised animals, and compost to better grow feed. The downtown shops are convenient and have their own charm, but the original store, with its worn patina and neighborhood sidewalk tables, is the one to visit to eat sandwiches, salads, and of course cheese at their perfect moment of ripeness.
Southport Grocery & Cafe
When chef Lisa Santos opened Southport Grocery, her modern, minimalist grocery and comfort food café in 2003, she didn't have a preservationist on staff. But she just brought on board professional preservationist Melanie Molnar. After 10 years working in finance, Santos went to culinary school and opened shop on the Southport Corridor in Lakeview, but hadn't canned. In fact it wasn't until 2008 that she started canning with her mom, for their grocery shelves and cafe dishes too. In the years since, they've created a colorful jewel box of favorites, including Jake's Giard, their crunchy housemade giardiniera, and Living Kraut. A Green City Market grilled cheese vendor uses her best-selling onion jam, and Molnar's pickled green tomatoes, inspired by time at Blackberry Farm in Tennessee, are edible contemporary art themselves, with undulating slices evocative of architect Jeanne Gang's Aqua building captured in a jar. Lisa Santos carefully handpicks local and domestic products, meeting artisans personally. SPG also hosts regular, after-hours Drink Up Art events, with work hanging on their walls, bringing together artists and potential patrons over local food and wine tastings. Cafe seating and the takeout bakery sandwich grocery shelves are inside, with plentiful seating out front in season.
Star Lounge Coffee Bar
Owner Jesse Diaz opened Star Lounge Coffee Bar in West Town's Smith Park area in 2007, in a space that was previously a neighborhood bar. He started out roasting beans upstairs in a hot air popcorn popper. Diaz now roasts at another site, in a professional Sivetz, under the label Dark Matter, with a shout-out to Bridgeport Coffee's Mike Pilkington for letting him train there hands-on. Dark Matter supplies beans not only to SLCB, but a handful of local restaurants, including Alinea and Longman & Eagle. The bar back displays brewing supplies for sale, including Chemex beakers and pour-over cones. Diaz shares his encyclopedic knowledge of coffee in a nearly nonstop stream-of-consciousness caffeinated conversation, and he's shockingly tolerant in a culture where hinting at milk, sugar, or ice can provoke a bitchface. Diaz focuses on the important things in coffee, like visiting farms in El Salvador to establish relationships with farmers and earning the right to buy exclusively from their trees. Diaz takes a more culinary approach to coffee with a menu of prepared coffee drinks and his own cold-brewed coffee— on tap and in bottles—called Chocolate City Coffee Bomber. Sip at the bar or backyard porch.

The Linux Cookbook, 2nd Edition: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use by Michael Stutz
When my wife and I got married, we received a copy of a classic Puerto Rican cookbook Cocine Conmigo (Cook With Me), by Dora R. Romano. It was a nice gift for us because it helped us explore a wide variety of typical Puerto Rican dishes. Similarly, I think Michael Stutz's The Linux Cookbook, 2nd Edition: Tips and Techniques would be a nice gift for anyone, including yourself, who wants to explore the wide variety of features and capabilities available from the Linux operating system.
The Linux Cookbook offers the Linux newcomer a wide selection of recipes. With collections of files, text, images, sound and productivity recipes, the reader is bound to find something that suits his or her need. Although the book has a dash of X recipes, the majority of the recipes focus on command-line features available in the bash shell.
Overall, I believe that Michael Stutz succeeds in providing a handy reference for those who still are exploring Linux or who have difficulty remembering the correct command-line options for a specific command. I find myself reaching for this collection of recipes when I get stuck, so I keep it close to my desk.
On the other hand, although the author hopes that The Linux Cookbook appeals to experienced Linux users, I don't believe this was achieved. Some useful yet obscure information is offered here, but I don't think it is enough for daily reference by an experienced user. In addition, I disagree with the author's choice to leave out the basic commands for network administration. More than once I needed some networking help only to find nothing about ifconfig or route. Although I'm sure the commands for administrating different Linux distributions can vary, I think some basic networking commands are essential for any Linux cookbook.
Through the years, my wife and I repeatedly have enjoyed Romano's recipes for Flan de Queso con Leche Condensada (Cheese Custard with Evaporated Milk) and Pastela de Platanos Maduros (Puerto Rican Lasagna with Ripe Plantains). Readers of The Linux Cookbook undoubtedly will find some favorite recipes of their own. With over 500 different programs referenced and organized conveniently in the Program Index, The Linux Cookbook is sure to satisfy any Linux newcomer's craving for Linux tips and techniques.

While wrapping up production for her award-winning talk show last spring, Queen Latifah learned some disturbing news. Her mom, 64-year-old Rita Owens, was diagnosed scleroderma (also known as systemic sclerosis), an incurable autoimmune disease that affects the connective tissue in the body. As a result, the "Queen Latifah Show" host decided to personally take care of her mother full time.
"I wasn't going to do the show unless she came here," Latifah told People. "I knew she was dealing with her health issues sometimes and I would not be able to get to her as easily."

She went on to say that she couldn't imagine anyone else caring for her mother. "Anyone who has a job and then has a family member at home who is ill, it's 24 hours. You have to be there. They need you," the 44-year-old entertainer said. "I try to be as in the moment and as present as possible. And then I try to get some sleep and go to work and be present there and then go home and be present there."
In Mama Owen's case, the disease has caused blood pressure and scar tissue build up in her lungs, making it often difficult to breathe. "It's not a day or night that she doesn't peek her head in my room and make sure I'm okay," Lafiah's mother told the magazine. "If it's medical she'll go in and grill the doctors and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to do."

"She sacrifices her time, her resources," the former high school teacher added. "She genuinely loves me and I know that."
In related Queen news, she will star in and executive produce a Bessie Smith biopic for HBO. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming film will revolve "around iconic blues singer Smith as she overcomes the challenges of her tempestuous personal life to become one of the most acclaimed performers and recording artists of the 1920s and '30s, to be known forevermore as the 'Empress of the Blues.'"
Pariah's Dee Rees will serve as scriptwriter and director.

The Good Fight: Delicious Foods That Help Prevent Breast Cancer
1. Foods To Fight Cancer
While many causes of cancer are environmental--what we puff voluntarily (ie. tobacco), involuntarily (hazardous chemicals and fumes), or perhaps even excessive sun exposure, many of them are not. What we eat or don't eat can also play a significant role. Important fact: Nothing in our diet can single handedly prevent or cure cancer, however these foods seemingly carry some cancer-protective properties. So eat up!
2. Wine
Red wine in particular. Due to it's high concentration of the chemical resveratrol from the grape skin, a stemmed glass of vino is not only anti-cancer, but pro-heart. However, before you fill your glass to the rim, know that moderation is key. Over-consumption of alcohol can be associated with liver, breast and stomach cancers. So find the balance sis. Let's say...one glass a day.
3. Folate
Bring on the leafy green vegetables, asparagus, beans, peas and lentils! Foods that are generally high in folate can pack some serious cancer-preventive properties thanks to the fact that folate and the related folic acid (or vitamin B9), is part of the vitamin B-complex family. Side salad anyone?
4. Walnuts
Get it crackin' lady. Walnuts contain many helpful nutrients and healthy omega-3 fatty acids- which help your body fight inflammation. Research also suggests that walnuts may actually slow the growth of breast cancer tumors, therefore this nut could play a role in breast cancer management even after diagnosis.
5. Cruciferous Vegetables
Kin to the mustard or cabbage family: cabbage, broccoli, kale brussels sprouts and collards are all great sources of anti-cancer properties such as diindolylmethane, sulforaphane and the element selenium. But here's the twist. The punch comes with the crunch: The more you chew the better it is for you since for proper release of these chemicals these veggies need to be fully broken down.
6. Ginger & Turmeric
Curry dishes on deck. Ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and can slow cancer growth, while turmeric, the spice that forms the base of most curries, is from a root in the ginger family. The active ingredient curcumin has shown that it could play a role in helping fight breast cancer tumors when combined with certain drug based therapies. Plus, it also may have an anti-inflammatory effect that could protect your overall health.
7. Flaxseed
More potent than it's popular oil based form, ground flaxseeds include a component called lignans, which may actually decrease cancer growth. You can buy ground flaxseed or grind the seeds yourself using a coffee grinder. Then, sprinkle the ground flaxseed on salads, in smoothies or even bake them in muffins. Yum!
8. Green Tea
Green tea and white tea both contain catechins- extracts that seem to show some benefit in breast cancer prevention. Research suggests that green tea is also particularly effective at protecting your cells against environmental exposures that might increase the risk for cancer. However, you are going to have to down a lot of tea (think four or more cups a day) to achieve this effect. P.S. Sugary green tea drinks don't count.
9. Fish
Looking for a great alternative to red meat that is packed with Vitamin D and Omega-3's? Fish oil and straight fish is your best bet when it comes to cancer prevention. Fish is also a smart lean protein source. So opt for salmon, mackerel, sardines, sea bass and tuna as cancer preventive diet choices.
10. Chocolate
Yes, chocolate (in moderation) can be healthy. That is, provided the cocoa-to-candy ratio remains high. So when cravings creep in reach for a dark chocolate bar with at least 70-percent cocoa (often spelled cacao). The closer to its bitter bean state the better. There is a class of chemicals in cocoa called catechins (also found in tea), that seem to offer protection against heart disease, stroke and you guessed it-- cancer.
11. Berries
If you see the word "berry," then eat it--especially since they are extremely healthy and power-packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can aid cancer prevention. Most berries contain ellagic acid and other polyphenol antioxidants that inhibit tumor growth, however recent research suggests that blueberries, in particular, play a significant role in breast cancer management by enhancing the effect of the often prescribed drug tamoxifen (used primarily to fight off breast cancer cells).

This is the most foolproof way I can think of to earn 1,000%
returns and yields of more than 50%.
It may sound impossible, but thiswill be a reality for many
forward-thinking investors.
The numbers will be different for every investor, depending on
when they recognized this opportunity. Those who saw it earliest
will make the mostmoney .
I'll explain everything you need to know shortly. But before we
go any further, you need to understand one very critical
To take advantage of this opportunity, you have to change the
way you look at your portfolio.
As it stands, many investors will ignore what I'm going to share
with you... and I know exactly why.
You see, as with any great goal, this one will take time to
Try to think of a great achievement that only took a few weeks
or months to accomplish -- they are few and far between. It took
decades toput a man on the moon. It took decades to develop a
vaccine for polio. It took four years to construct the Golden Gate
Bridge... and five years to build the Hoover Dam.
These accomplishments weren't done in a few weeks or a few
months. The biggest goals -- the ones that can truly change the
path of your life -- take years, if not decades, to accomplish.
And nowhere is this more applicable than withinvesting
Do you thinkWarren Buffett became one of the world's richest men
in the span of a couple of years? Of course not. Buffett bought his
firststock about 70 years ago.
The world's greatest businesses weren't built in just a few
months, either.
Starbucks (Nasdaq:

years old.
Intel (Nasdaq:
, synonymous with personal computers, has actually been around
since 1968 -- well before the personal computer.
And just like Buffett... or the world's greatest businesses...
your greatest wealth-building will come from years or decades of
work -- not days, weeks, or months.
Even today, long-term thinking doesn't come naturally. That's
why so many people have trouble saving for retirement...

invest in businesses that have a track record of raising dividends.
There are dozens ofstocks out there that have tremendous track
records of growing theirdividend payments.
There are so many, in fact, that it's difficult to tell you
about all of them.
The best are known as "Dividend Champions." This term, coined
byinvestment researcher David Fish, refers to stocks that have
raised dividends for 25 consecutive years or more.
If you want to own dominant companies that deliver consistent
long-term returns and are committed to raising their dividend
payments, then there's no better place to start than with the list
of "Dividend Champions." (You can see the full list of "Dividend

Bum wipes
Comments (5)
I use fleece. I bought a few yards in cute prints and cut them into squares. I also use them as diaper liners. We keep a water bottle on the changing table. I do have regular wipes when I need to get into cracks after a poopy diaper, but we don't use a warmer, then can grow bacteria from my understanding.
The warmers are too much trouble in my opinion, we just use warm water from the sink to wet our wipes and then spray on wipe solution as needed.
Most of our wipes are upcycled cotton flannel, cotton sateen, and t-shirt knit. If you don't mind a fuzzy edge, it takes five seconds to run a straight stitch along the edges to keep them from fraying too much, or you can zigzag or serge the edges. The larger baby washcloths work fine, too.

I made a few by sewing 1 layer of old t-shirt material and 1 layer of flannel together. Simple and done!
For my solution I use water with aloe, olive oil, tea tree oil, and baby wash. I make a gallon at at time and put it in a spray bottle. I've never used a wipes warmer and I hear that they can harbor bacteria.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ A jury has convicted a 19-year-old woman of
first-degree murder for stabbing her roommate to death in their
University of Arizona dorm room.
Prosecutors say Galareka Harrison stabbed Mia Henderson 23 times
with a knife that she had bought before the attack on Sept. 5, 2007.
Both women were Navajo tribal members from northern Arizona.
The Pima County jury deliberated about 3 hours on Friday before reaching the verdict. Prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty.
Henderson had accused Harrison of stealing her student ID charge card, a Social Security card, checks and $500 from a bank account.
Harrison was also found guilty of three forgery counts and identity theft.

I've been aquainted with this ministry since Jan. 2013. I started off as a client then started volunteering for Gps Ministries as a the food pantry coordinator then promoted to director of ministry growth & development. I no longer volunteer there, however, I donate as often as I can. Pj & her husband, Pastor Greg are genuine vessels for Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. GPS Ministries is one of a kind. I am still a client and I am very grateful for all they do for me and my community especially the children.

Hi guys, I'm completely new here and need help. I have an old GT Aggressor from 1997 and have decided to install disc brakes on it. Based on the posts that I've searched and read, I don't think the fork has any mounts on it and the wheel/hubs don't look like they have the ability to mount rotors on them.
Can you take a look and tell me if that's true? And if it is, can I just buy adapters of some sort?
I'm looking at either the Avid BB7 mechanical brakes or Shimano XL America or something hydraulic brakes. Thanks!!

Physical therapists don't need much more than a news broadcast to understand that disaster strikes nearly every day. It can be less easy to grasp the idea that the next flood, fire, or weather event could hit their own practices, and downright overwhelming to think about how to prepare. The latest issue of APTA's PT in Motion magazine can help.
In her article "Before Disaster Strikes," APTA Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Deborah Crandall, JD, makes the compelling case that when it comes to disaster planning, there's no time like the present. To get PTs started, she offers advice and tips that range far beyond the typical "back up your data" admonitions.
In addition to ideas on how to create and implement a preparedness plan, the article also includes advice on what to do after a disaster—a time when it can be difficult to be calm and pragmatic. Tips in this area touch on making insurance contacts, tracking losses, salvaging equipment, and maintaining communication with staff and patients/clients.
The complete article can be found in print and online, and is available free to APTA members.

Saintly Institutions? Notes on a Modern Prejudice
Kimball, Roger, New Criterion
Sometimes I think all the trouble in the world is caused by intellectuals who have an "idea."
--David Hare, Stuff Happens
Saints should always be judged guilty until proven innocent, though the tests that have to be applied to them are not, of course, the same in all cases.
--George Orwell, "Reflections on Gandhi"
Yet sit and see, Minding true things by what their mock'ries be.
--Shakespeare, Henry V, iv: (1)
When I was in London recently, I happened to walk down Haymarket on my way to Trafalgar Square. As I neared Pall Mall, I caught the glint--white embossed lettering on cerulean field--of a blue plaque, one that I'd not noticed before.
As any visitor to London knows, the blue plaques are one of the quiet glories of the city. The attractively glazed discs, about the size of a luncheon plate, punctuate the cityscape, commemorating an impressive procession of historical worthies. Did you know that Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727), "natural philosopher" lived on Jermyn Street? Or that Mozart (1756-1791) "composed his first symphony" at 180 Ebury Street, SW1? I have several times taken a short "blue plaque tour" in some corner of London with a friend whose knowledge of London is as encyclopedic as it is infectious. There are some striking conjunctions. Hyde Park Gate, for example, was within a couple of decades home to Robert Baden-Powell, "British general and founder of the scout movement" Leslie Stephen, the great Victorian scholar (and father of Virginia Woolf), Winston Churchill, and Jacob Epstein, the sculptor. The next street over displays plaques for Robert Browning and Henry James. Try to imagine that neighborhood colloquy.
What stupendous cultural and political achievements those blue plaques bespeak: more than 800 statesmen, scientists, artists, writers, and other notables. What extraordinary talent, what extraordinary energy, London has sheltered! In recent years, of course, the quality of blue-plaque commemoration, like just about everything else in England, has bowed somewhat to the pressure of multiculturalism and political correctness. Feminists have scoured the past for available females; "persons of color" have touted candidates who share their skin color or national origin; other partisans of virtue have urged the inclusion of various figures whose chief distinction is the rectitude and vociferousness of their political orientation. I knew this, and should therefore not have been surprised, as I ambled down Haymarket, to find that the plaque I noticed commemorated Ho Chi Minh.
Yet I was surprised. How striking, I though, that Ho, a totalitarian enemy of gentle civilization, should be thus decorously honored! (In 1913, it turned out, he had worked in a hotel that once stood on the spot.) What struck me as even odder was the thing he was honored for. Newton was a "natural philosopher"; Mozart composed symphonies; Ho Chi Minh, 1890-1969, was the "founder of modern Vietnam." Well, yes. But supposing Stalin had had a stint in London. Would we then have "Josef Stalin, 1879-1953, Soviet agricultural reformer"?
Now, there is a sense in which Ho Chi Minh was the "founder of modern Vietnam" just as Stalin did a great deal to change the habits of farmers in the Soviet Union. But these truths are tendentious: they are one-sided, deceptive truths because in stating a fact they omit the context that explains the fact. Ho Chi Minh was a mass murderer--not in Stalin's league, it is true, but he did the best he could with the tools he was given. Yet to the Left, Ho is a hero, a sainted figure (as--let us not forget--was Stalin until fairly recently). Who can forget the raptures of American intellectuals in the 1960S and 1970S about Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong? Remember Susan Sontag's "Trip to Hanoi" (1968), where she explained the real problem for the North Vietnamese trying to fight the Americans is that they "aren't good enough haters. …
