Taken 2
Whoever thinks about the families of thugs that are left to mourn after the lawbreakers are mowed down by a movie protagonist? Especially those nameless, glowering, one-dimensional thugs who only show up on screen long enough to get shot or otherwise disposed of.
Murad Krasniqi (Rade Serbedzija) does. He pledges to revenge the death of his son by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson), the retired CIA agent (and Taken protagonist) who killed an entire group of thugs after they kidnapped his daughter Kim (Maggie Grace). Never mind that Murad's offspring forced Kim and other young female foreigners into the illegal sex trade. Murad wants vengeance.
If ever a movie script could be condensed down to the phrase "live by the sword, die by the sword," this is it.
Soon after Kim and Bryan's former wife Lenore (Famke Hanssen) join him for a few days of vacation in Istanbul, Murad and his own set of thugs close in, capturing the two adults. Kim manages to escape and, fortunately for her, Murad and this men lack the technological wherewithal to track her down using her cell phone. That gives her a chance to call her dad and then proceed to toss grenades around the city in an effort to locate the position of her missing parents. (It's a complicated process that resembles something like a bad game of Battleship but in the middle of a highly populated residential area.)
Unlike Taken that created at least some moments of edge-of-your-seat tension as the determined dad tracked down his missing daughter, this script feels like little more than an excuse for a bloodbath. Seemingly unstoppable, Bryan frees himself from his captors and then proceeds to wipe out an endlessly multiplying group of bad guys led by Murad. There is no question he'll succeed, so the only unknown is how many different ways he can kill off these criminals. Guns, explosions, metal rods, chokeholds and his own fists are all employed.
However in this era of aging action heroes ( Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Expendables 2, Red ), quick film edits are needed to create the illusion of rough and tumble fistfights. And sometimes those rapid cuts become as distracting as the story's inconsistencies.
After having her neck slashed and then being hung head down to bleed out like a dead deer, Lenore manages to have little more than a few drops of smeared blood on her cheek when she is freed. And no one overreacts when two interlopers crash through the gates of the US Embassy in Turkey and come to a sliding stop at the front steps of the office.
While this bullet-riddled story, packed with plenty of profanities, appears to justify a father's right to take the law in his own hands, all this action starts to feel a little too much like a tiresome battle of tit-for-tat.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.71 lbs (0.32 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

First I'll start off by saying that the property is exceptionally clean, as it should be considering its youth. The fixtures have an upscale feel and appearance to them, and other than some dirt marks/pool water in the elevators, the hotel is well kept. My gripe is with a couple of customer service issues. To make a long story short, I booked the room using points and requested a 2pm checkout (a Priority Club perk). It was suggested to confirm availability with the desk upon my expected return from work at 5am. after returning, no one was to be found at the desk. i called at 10am and was told bluntly there was no way to accomodate because it was the day before New Year's eve (first I've ever been denied,but understandable I guess). i then made note of the fact that there was a carafe for coffe in the room but no coffee pot (I was told there were no extras available in the hotel), the desk instructed me to come down to the lobby if I wanted coffee. After arriving in the lobby, I was told by the staff there wasn't any coffee available. I then went to check out & encountered another Priority Club member also irate about not getting an extended checkout. He noted to me that we weren't as valued because the rates were increased for the holiday and we were on points. I left my info for the manager to contact me (I felt a third of my points being returned was fair), but was ignored. The desk said the other gentleman would be compensated before me because he was a Platinum member and I was just Gold. Mind you I book reservations of several Platinum members in the broadcast/entertainment industry for a living. I guess we'll gravitate elsewhere for the most part.

Xi3 generated a lot of buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) over its Piston PC, a pint size computer that's based on the company's X7A system (both pictured in the thumbnail image), an honest-to-goodness modular computer.
Didn't have the chance to attend CES 2013? No problem! Allow our 50 images to show you the highlights from the show floor. Everything from booth babes, wacky gadgets, and the products of the show are featured in the gallery below.
The whirlwind of product announcements and general craziness that accompanies the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is now in our rear-view mirror, and unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to stop by Silverstone's booth.
As busy as the last few days have been, one company that really stood out was Nvidia.
Now that USB 3.0 is ubiquitous and "free" on all motherboards, the industry is about to make it outdated by promising to more than double the speed on PCs by the end of 2014.
Zalman is planning to launch a pair of CPU coolers in the second quarter of 2013, one of them a closed-loop liquid cooler unlike any you've ever seen before, the company told us at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Just how good is Intel's integrated graphics on Haswell (codenamed GT3), the successor to Ivy Bridge? In due time, we'll answer that question with some numbers and a hands-on evaluation, but in the meantime, we've put together a little challenge for our readers. Maximum PC Deputy Editor Gordon Mah Ung captured on video a pair of systems running DiRT Showdown.
The folks at Cooler Master made the most of their suite at the Consumer Electronics Show by cramming it full of computer cases, air and liquid coolers, power supplies, and gaming accessories, including several unreleased products.
Gigabyte earlier this week announced that it's dual-Thunderbolt boards are the first to implement the Intel Collage display technology.
Our CES video coverage continues with a tour of Asus' booth, where Deputy Editor Gordon Mah Ung captured on camera the company's E2KM1-L Deluxe mini-ITX motherboard (shown in thumbnail image).
Windows 8 on a non-touchscreen device makes for a far-from-ideal experience, but if that is what you are stuck with then you are likely to be interested in the special touch pen accessories being showcased at the ongoing CES 2013 event by E Fun and Targus.
After discovering that Razer had brought along its Razer Edge tablet for gamers to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), we knew had to infiltrate the company's suite at all costs and take a closer look. So, that's exactly what we did.

i demanded a refund when i purchased this. i was so mad that i spent so much money on something that didn't even live to what it was supposed to do especially with the price. The packaging is nice but thats all.

Not at all hydrating at least for my hair. One of the worst masks of kerastase i believe. Masquintense is much better if you do want something from kerastase.I dont know what is going on with this brand, it's very expencive , i ve tried few of their products and did like none of them.. I believe they are loaded with protein. Probably will work better if used not in every wash. But this masque ,as well as the matching shampoo, doesn;t really worth its cost. Try a different brand for this money.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I wish that I had read these reviews earlier. I now know why my hair is so greasy when I walk out the door after washing it. When I blowdry my hair after using this product, it sticks together, making it look like straw. I am very disappointed to have wasted almost $50 (shampoo + conditioner, $94) on this product, as my hair was looking and feeling so much better with less expensive Redken products.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
Uber Expensive! I use this product once a month to condition my color treated hair. It makes it feel soft and silky and really brings out the shine. I do believe it helps protect the dark hair color from fading as well. A quarter size is all that is applied after I shampoo and towel drying my shoulder length hair. The formula works through the hair easily. I do not apply it to the scalp, just the hair. I cover with a plastic cap and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinses and leaves hair looking healthily.
As I said, Uber Expensive but seems to be the one conditioner that is not too heavy, doesn't weigh down my hair, and really brings out the color shine. Protects hair from fading.
One jar does last a long time.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I've bought this product several times, and I love it. It nourishes my hair like nothing else that I have found. It makes it silky soft, and very shiny. And the smell is so incredible.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I used this some time ago and I was not impressed. It does not do anything for my hair: no moisture, no shine, nothing at all. Very expensive line and none of these products remotedly work with my chemically treated hair. Would not advise to buy the chroma reflect line if you have chemically treated hair and are looking for moisture: it just does not do the job. Ridicolously expensive as well!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
It is great for shine and if your hair is very dry/damaged. BUT very thick and leaves your hair with that greasy 'not washed out properly' film on your hair. Kind of defeats the purpose of a shine enhancing product. Not happy at all considering the price.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Curly, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
I liked this but loved the shampoo. The masque was not heavey like a masque and I used a bit more than normal. I have to say it may not felt like it was doing the job but afterwards I can feel the difference and see the difference. I have shiney hair that feels soft and nourished. This really is quite a product. But I used it with the shampoo so maybe that helped. I am happy with my hair and it did the job as it was required. That is not something products do. Its worth it for my hair that is dry and thin and curly so I reccomend it for those of the same type.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I have a single process done for my dark brown hair, I'm about a 4. I have frizzy wavy hair, but this gives it such a nice shine w/o bulid up. Only my ends are dry, but I do not use this for moisture. It is pricey, can get it on Ebay. I don't like the tub packaging. I use it once in a while to rev up the shine.

As Sexy As Drinking Paint Thinner: I Watch the Gene Simmons Sex Tape
I -- this is not a joke -- gagged even reading the words "Gene Simmons Sex Tape."
"I couldn't bring myself to watch it," my buddy Casey was saying over Instant Messenger, shipping me the URL. "You need to do this. I need to know."
I'm curious, I admitted. I was also revolted. The power of procrastination combined with the power of suggestion, though, and I decided I had to do this. For Casey. For you. For America.
For SCIENCE!
Here's my running diary:
4:03 p.m.:I click the link to Fleshbot, where the sample is hosted. Even the still photo is revolting. I don't know if I can do this. Casey urges me to be strong. I reach for the Dramamine.
4:04 p.m.: I click "play." GenesSecret.com is displayed on the screen. He is, thank the maker, wearing a shirt. The man is almost 60, for crying out loud. Soft, cheesy music plays. It takes me 15 seconds before it hits me.
Holy God. That is Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is."
(Later, I will be a little disappointed it's not "Lick It Up" or even "Love Gun." But for now, I'm bedazzled by this revelation. The 1970s big-hair anthem is disturbingly appropriate.)
4:06 p.m.: Simmons' partner -- who is a much younger blond, in pigtails and a corset -- starts to stroke the Genie Weenie. My stomach starts to rebel against lunch. Casey informs me that the woman in the video is his longtime partner, former Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed. This is not, in fact, true, but it impacts my viewing experience considerably, so I'll note it now. There is halfhearted mouth behavior that used to get you arrested during the time of ubiquitous sodomy laws. It is as sexy as drinking paint thinner.
4:07 p.m.: After putting on a condom (stay safe, kids!), Gene clumsily and unceremoniously rolls the woman onto her back and mounts her. He looks for all the world like an arthritic gibbon. Gene's pants remain around his ankles, as we can see from the edge of the bed. Gene commences The Act of Love as Lou Gramm croons:
Her bosoms are not heaving. My stomach, however, is. 4:08 p.m.: The girl is wearing flip flops. Her breasts are disturbingly large, obviously augmented. This is as lustful as watching my neutered dog hump the air, as he sometimes does when disturbed.
Note: I would not blame the dog if he began humping air now. Fortunately, for everyone, he's asleep on the couch.
Gene leans in for the kiss ...
4:09 p.m.: ... SHE TURNS HER HEAD AWAY. The following exchange occurs between me and Casey:
Me: "Holy shit, rejected for the smooch while paying for sex. I have just added Gene Simmons definitively to the list of people I hope to never be."
Casey: "Paying? That's not a prostitute -- she's his WIFE!"
Again, this turns out not to be the case. And Gene Simmons is not married to Shannon Tweed anyway. But keep in mind that during the following sequence I believed it utterly.
4:10 p.m.: Gene goes again to kiss his "wife". Again denied.
She is the Dikembe Motumbo of kiss rejection. It is a marquee performance. Gene zigs, she zags -- it's like watching a bloated Wile E Coyote trying to catch an aging, world-weary road runner. You can't help but think of Julia Roberts' character in Pretty Woman, who refused to kiss her sex partners because the gesture is too intimate.
4:11 p.m.: The woman compromises by putting her left arm around Gene, the only act of feigned affection he's getting during this mechanical act. She's still visibly ducking the kiss, but is apparently hoping the cursory half-embrace will make him stop.
This is his wife? I think. Really? How bad must Gene's breath be at this point? 4: 13 p.m.: She's still wearing the corset, but her giant breasts are hanging out of it. Perfunctorily, Gene moves off her and lies on his back. She gets on top and Gene honks her breasts like they are twin, silicone bicycle horns.
Finally -- after three sexual positions -- she kicks off her flip-flops. 4:14 p.m.: Now she's squatting on top of him, moving up and down gingerly as if peeing on a toilet seat that is too cold! now just right! too cold! now just right! Finally, she loses her balance and nearly falls off Gene (or is she trying to get off of him and run away?).
Gene reclines, hands behind his head. He has either had an orgasm or is losing interest, and it is honestly difficult to tell.
This site says the woman is an "Austrian energy drink spokesmodel," and as it turns out, her name is "Elsa."
You may draw whatever conclusions from this you like. I choose these lessons:
1. The difference between a loveless marriage and purchased sex is really not much, visually.
2. Never, ever watch a sex tape involving Gene Simmons

I'm getting obnoxious in my older years
I still don't know when to hold my tongue
It's always a toss between pride and tears
Or wondering when I'll come undone
But I don't mind being the joke
It's an easy role to play
As long as you laugh up your ass
Nobody hears you anyway
I used to be bitter till I saw the stripes
Of all of the drones in your reach
Gives me some hope for the kids today
Who learned to reject what you preach
So I don't mind being the joke
Cause it's a tiny price to pay
You might still have your throne
But your world's in decay
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bury the anger as I write this down,
Occasional demons still flare
Think of the mirrors that you must avoid
For fear of the things you'll see there
So I don't mind being your joke
It's a funny badge that I share
With the ones I respect
With the few that still care
So shake your head and stare
Yeah shake your head and stare
What makes you think that I care

Privacy and cyber-safety experts weighed in on ABC Radio National's "Life Matters" on questions of generational differences in perceptions of privacy and the implications of sharing personal information online. "I think the fundamentals of privacy are still the same, in that privacy is about people having control and deciding who knows what about them," said Victoria Privacy Commissioner Helen Versey. "I think that the problem is that the technology means that they are prone to lose control...because they don't understand the technology." Hugh Stephens of the commission's Youth Advisory Group described the pressure to be a part of social networking even at the college level. "So many things are done online these days," he said, "it's almost ostracizing to try to remove yourself from them." Privacy Victoria will host a conference in May geared toward youth privacy.

This subplot is interspersed with scenes from a family car trip from hell and Kristi's anorexic adolescent anguish as Gary ponders whether to go to city college or "destroy the universe." In the end, as the characters make love, war, art, and friends in no particular order, the second option looks increasingly enticing to our hero, if only to clear the way for something new.
Smartly staged by Sean Daniels (moonlighting from his position as associate artistic director at the California Shakespeare Theater), Big Death and Little Death speaks to this imploding universe loudly and affirmatively, forefingers and pinkies extended. In Birnbaum's optimistic apocalypse, there's a difference between the annihilation of the system and the creative destruction that envisions a new beginning on the horizon.
The umbilical link between big and little deaths brings to mind the Vietnam-era "little murders" in Jules Feiffer's even more prescient black comedy of an American culture of self-destruction. One's tempted to call Birnbaum's play the Little Murders of our day.
But neither can really compete with the culture they so sharply critique nor prove as strange or fitting as the news of the dean of West Point ganging up with human rights activists, the FBI, and military in-terror-gators to chastise the creators of 24 for feeding US soldiers too many tantalizing torture techniques. Seems almost a chicken-and-egg problem at times, this relationship between big death in Iraq (and Afghanistan and beyond) and little death on the tube. It's quite a food chain too, bringing to mind that serpent devouring its own tail. Come to think of it, Ouroboros would make an excellent name for a death metal band. *

Onset of mastitis?
Comments (8)
It's likely a clogged milk duct but it could tunr into mastitis if you don't take care of it quickly. As soon as you get home, apply heat to it with a heating pad or get in the shower and place a warm wach cloth over the affected area. After the heat, allow your LO to nurse on that side first. If that does not work, try massaging the area and hand expressing milk by applying pressure starting from the sore area and working toward the nipple. Finally, take some ibprofen and try a different nuring hold than you usually use because this will allow different parts of your breast to empty more completely. Your breast will continue to be sore even after the clog is gone, but it shouldn't hurt as much. The tenderness usually improves within a few days.
Sometimes if all of that doesn't work I let LO feed from the affected side while pressing and squeezing the area. Hurts super bad ( I tear up and cuss under my breath) but sometimes it's the only thing that works.
Just about the same thing happened to me this week. sea1229 had a lot of really great suggestions. The only other thing that helped with me was to submerge my breast in a warm water bath. I was doing that until my husband came home with some heating pads that you stick in the microwave. those were a bit easier to handle! I hand expressed after gettting the breast warm for some relief. I could not get the clog out with the pump, but my little one was able to in his midnight feeding. Thank goodness!!! My breast was so hard and inflammed on the whole top of the breast, it was terrible. He wouldn't nurse on it during the day because he could tell something was different, but I got him to nurse on it while he was drowsy in his midnight feeding, and he sucked the clog right out. It was an incredible relief. I definitely took ibuprofen the whole time to reduce any swelling. I hope you can get yours sorted out. Good luck to you!

Product Reviews
Dee5 Stars Out Of 5Recommended for all parentsJune 5, 2015DeeQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Excellent book to understand children's perception of love. A great addition to the 5 love languages books. Keeping my niece's "love tank" full has made her a very happy, well behaved 2 year old. i would recommend this to all parents.
Jolene4 Stars Out Of 5Insightful & ChallengingJanuary 13, 2015JoleneQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3In The 5 Love Languages of Children, Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell apply Chapman's popular concept of the five love languages to the parent-child relationship. Each of the five love languages is explained and examples are given of how to use (and how not to use) a child's love language. Parents are encouraged to love their children unconditionally, which is sometimes not as easy as one would assume it to be, and to successfully express that love to a child.
I found The 5 Love Languages of Children to be insightful and challenging. The explanations of each language were informative, but the real life examples were what I found to be most helpful. There is a full chapter as well as a love language game at the end dedicated to help parents correctly identify how a child gives and receives love. At times, the book was a bit overwhelming to me as it felt like I have to do everything perfectly or I'm going to really mess my child up. I know that was not the authors' intention and maybe not everyone will get that feeling, but that's how it was for me.
The 5 Love Languages of Children is geared for children above age five. My child is only two which is a bit young for her love language to be obvious. The authors say five is usually the minimum age before a child's love language can be determined as it's prone to fluctuate in the early years. Therefore, a lot of the information was good, but not completely relevant to me. The main points I was able to take away from the book were: unconditional love is the desire of a child's heart, whether or not a child's love needs are fulfilled will affect them positively or negatively, and it's important to practice all five love languages at this point. I plan to keep The 5 Love Languages of Children and will probably revisit it in a few years.

They are a must read for everyone. You may apply these principles to every relationship. They make great gifts too. These are life changing books, no doubt.
MishkaSpruce Grove, CanadaAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5LOVE this bookAugust 28, 2014MishkaSpruce Grove, CanadaAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I am a teacher and picked up this book on a whim. I am so glad I did. I see so many children struggling, and reading Chapman's theory about their love languages makes a lot of sense. I found that as I was reading through the book I was thinking about the children I know or have in my care and planning to be more intentional about showing love and finding ways to really make them feel loved. Very encouraging, and I love the practical lists at each chapter for things you can do to speak to the child's primary love language.

Much More Than A Game by Hypatia
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 87]
"Lord Voldemort has never had a friend, nor do I believe that he has ever wanted one."
-Dumbledore, HBP, ch 13
Dumbledore was rarely wrong, only once did Lord Voldemort desire a friend. It started out as only a game, but became so much more…
This is the story of how the teenaged Tom Riddle met a unique individual and slipped from cold indifference, to affection, to friendship, to romance. Discover how even Voldemort's cold and callow heart was once broken beyond repair. This is for anyone curious about how an imperfect love warped and twisted a corrupt young man into the Dark Lord.
I really enjoy this story. Lydia is such an intriguing character, so I love reading about her. I was wondering why there's nothing about her friends so far in the story. Does she not have any, or are they just unimportant to the plot?
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm not sure how fully I ought to answer your question (mostly because I feel it's a fairly insightful one), but seeing as how Chapter 5 is now posted, I think it's safe to say this much:
By the time chapter 5 is over, Lydia considers herself to have two friends. One of them is mentioned in Chapter 4. Lydia is very aware of the fact that she doesn't have many friends. She is an introvert who arrived at Hogwarts very much alone after suffering a traumatic childhood.
Her grandfather loves her very much and is extremely overprotective. (Lydia never did get her Hogsmeade slip signed, though she can go now since she's of age.) Fortunately, a certain Transfiguration teacher tends to take a special interest in students who are "alone and friendless".
It was Dumbledore who suggested to Professor Flitwick that Lydia should be invited to join the duelling club. Upon winning her first tournament, Professor Flitwick thought it would be nice to inform Gavin Prince of Lydia's accomplishment, which resulted in her being told to quit. Professor Flitwick received a polite letter from Mr Prince thanking him for his letter, but respectfully informing Flitwick that he didn't want his granddaughter to participate in a duelling club as it wasn't a particularly safe sport, etc.
Dumbledore remained concerned about Lydia and suggested to one of his Gryffindor students that the library would make a good place for a chess match. His plan worked considerably better on that occasion and neither girl suspected Dumbledore's hand in forming their friendship.

I can't work out how to control the size of medium and thumbnail image, as generated in 'Add an image'.
Can anyone explain to me how this works?
I can't work out how to control the size of medium and thumbnail image, as generated in 'Add an image'.
Can anyone explain to me how this works?
What about the admin > Settings > Miscell?
Of course, it will apply only to the images uploaded from now on!
Changing those settings doesn't seem to make any difference - the default sizes (150x150 and 300x300) are still used.
Any other ideas?
You mean for the newly uploaded images, i.e. images that you uploaded AFTER the change?
Oh I get what you mean! (was thinking you meant images added)
So, when you upload an image, the medium and thumbnail versions are created at that point?
I'm having a similar problem, but haven't been able to resolve. I'm using 2.6. The image uploader works fine for me, and inserts the code into my post just fine. However, any changes I make to the settings>miscellaneous panel don't seem to take effect. For example, I don't want my thumbnails cropped to 150 x 150px, so I unchecked the box that pertains to that. After doing so, I uploaded a completely new image, and it still is resized/cropped to 150x150. I also tried changing the max dimensions for my Medium image sizes, tested, and again found that it always defaults to 300px, regardless of changes made to the settings. Any tips?
OK; sorry. I fixed it. It was a conflict with PodPress.

Spacious Northern Italian gem with lovely artwork. Nice wine list from many regions. Had appetizer sampler, a great mix of special appetzers. Main course was a Remi signiture dish of ravioli stuffed with lobster, in a superb sauce. Large portions. Service could use a lift. Nice spot for post theatre meal.

Make sure you check out their Rolls Royce.
Save time for a walk in the gardens.
The Yuletide tour is wonderful.
The downton abbey exhibit was wonderful
A great collection by H.F. du Pont with some interesting furniture pieces he accumulated over twenty years. The Downton Abbey exhibit was interesting even though I know nothing about the show.
Beautiful day. Beautiful estate.
Gorgeous grounds! Exquisite decor in Winterthur. The Downton Abbey exhibit is a must see. You can skip the lunch at the restaurant...very blah/bland.
Beautiful grounds and a very impressive house!
A wonderful place to walk around and enjoy the grounds.
A village-size museum of Americana, the collection comprises a chateau with 175 period rooms; a museum holding 85,000 objects and a naturalistic 60-acre garden.
You can definitely spend an entire weekend here - wandering the grounds alone is wonderful. Most definitely a seasonal visit is required!!!
Watch out. Mr. Feisty sometimes splashes a little.
Peak bloom for the Azelea Woods is mid-May, usually around Mother's Day.
If you plan on visiting as a family more than once a year, get the family membership, it has some nice perks!
it's worth taking your little ones to the enchanted woods to see fairies amd all their magic.
Nice place to know Mr. Du Pont IV
The premier museum of American decorative arts with 60 acres of naturalistic gardens. What's nearby: Hagley Museum and Library. Read more
The Christmas decor is gorgeous. Sometimes the entertainment.com coupon book has a discount coupon. They also have a childrens' garden which I haven't seen yet.
If you visit Winterthur the same day as Longwood Gardena you can get $2 off per ticket Read more
A great escape. Sunday champagne brunch is to die for.
Outstanding naturalistic garden. It is the former home of Henry Francis du Pont, an avid antiques collector and horticulturist.
Take a tour of the house...it is amazing
Become enchanted in a secret garden
Walk to the quarry
Take the tram tour after paying at the visitors center, then make a house tour.

Reducing drugs misuse and dependence (Gov.uk article)https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/reducing-drugs-misuse-and-dependence
Between 2011 and 2012, an estimated 8.9% of adults used an illegal drug. For young people aged between 16 and 24, the figure was 19.3%. Although this is the lowest level of drug use since we started collecting figures in 1996, drug misuse continues to have a negative effect on the health, wellbeing and quality of life of too many people.
It also drains public resources. For example, crimes related to drugs cost the UK �13.3 billion every year.

Blog Post by: Andrew Fieldhouse , on February 28, 2013
As a follow-up to my earlier blog post on the responsibility for and consequences of sequestration, I want to underscore that the entirety of the Budget Control Act (the resolution to the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, which created the sequester) was about shrinking government, not fiscal responsibility. As I previously noted, sequestration will harm the economy, and perversely increase the debt-to-GDP ratio to 76.3 percent by the end of fiscal 2013, from 76.1 percent without sequestration. And by defunding public investment (a key driver of long-run economic growth) and delaying economic recovery, thereby incurring more long-run economic scarring, sequestration will leave a poorer country to service larger relative debts.
But even ignoring the macroeconomic damage wrought by sequestration, this across-the-board meat cleaver approach to cutting spending is often fiscally imprudent even on a programmatic level.
Blog Post by: Andrew Fieldhouse , on February 28, 2013
As "sequestration" spending cuts seem increasingly likely to take effect tomorrow, and the blame game escalates over responsibility for the fallout, some incorrect revisionist history as well as (silly) pox-on-both-houses punditry merit comment.
If sequestration takes effect, it will be because congressional Republicans put draconian spending cuts in play, and have subsequently refused to replace those cuts with more sensible deficit reduction. And should sequestration take effect, this would not be an isolated case of economic policy malpractice: Congressional Republicans have consistently hamstrung efforts that economists overwhelmingly agree would have meaningfully helped lower the unemployment rate and instead advanced policies projected to decelerate near-term growth.

Megan McArdle's informative Daily Beast piece about the Cleveland Clinic, widely recognized as a model health care provider in the United States, questions whether the cultural forces central to its success can be more broadly emulated in other medical settings. Because fundamentally transforming how any institution's workers interact with each other is an inherently complex and uncertain endeavor, her skepticism is legitimate and no doubt widely shared. The Affordable Care Act includes a variety of provisions that are intended to induce health care providers to function more like Cleveland Clinics, but it very much remains an open question whether they will have that desired effect.

The Holbrooke/Obama controversy is heating up again. As Obama's special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan from 2009 until his death in 2010, Richard Holbrooke, the renowned hard-charging American diplomat, stirred up considerable controversy in the administration by strongly pressing for negotiations with the Taliban over the objections of Obama's White House staff and the U.S. military and intelligence agencies. As recounted in an excerpt in the March-April issue of Foreign Policy magazine, from an about-to-be published book, The Dispensable Nation, by one of Holbrooke's closest advisors, Vali Nasr, currently Dean of the Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, Nasr claims that Holbrooke tried to convince President Obama that the best solution to the Afghan conflict was to seek a diplomatic solution even while waging war.

The mantra of a "free" Internet has shaped the prevailing view of how we access information and entertainment in the digital age. This enduring myth is actually a misnomer. It continues to obscure a serious problem faced by significant sectors of society unable to take full advantage of the Internet or meet the high price of cable and cellular phone systems that are at the core of today's personal technology.
Yes, it is certainly the case that the devices that connect us to search engines, countless websites, social media, and e-mail bring us vast amounts of content for which we do not pay separately. But access to this "free" information on the Internet, as everyone acknowledges as soon as it is pointed out, is not gratis. Monthly charges for broadband Internet service, plus cable television fees and smartphone bills that together comprise the range of household pleasures and obligations as well as work-related communication that are so embedded in our lives amount to hefty sums. I have been asking friends and colleagues what it costs to maintain all these facets of their activities. Here is a typical response from a young woman in my office:
"I spend $100 a month on my cell phone service including data package and [her boyfriend] and I split a $150 cable bill for phone, television, and Internet. Internet access will become more 'free' as there are more free WiFi hotspots around the city in parks, etcetera, although you still have to purchase the device in the first place. In that sense, I spent $800 on a laptop, $300 on an iPad mini, and I got my smartphone free with a two-year contract with my phone company."

Last Tuesday, The Century Foundation was honored to host Alan Blinder, renowned economist and recent editor (alongside Andrew Lo and Robert Solow) of Rethinking the Financial Crisis; a compilation of new research challenging the conventional wisdom on Wall Street about the efficiency of financial markets and the rationality of the investors who speculate in them.
The story Professor Blinder told was a familiar one: Decades of "financialization"—a term economists use to describe the growing scale, profitability and deregulation of the financial sector relative to the "real economy"—allowed banks to become too big, too speculative, and too opaque in the years leading up to the financial crisis. Even with the passage of the Dodd-Frank regulatory reforms, financial institutions like Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase remain "too big to fail."
The growth of the financial industry has been a boon for its highly-paid managers. According to New York University economist Thomas Philippon, who contributes one of the most striking chapters in Rethinking the Financial Crisis, "total compensation of financial intermediaries (profits, wages, salary and bonuses) as a fraction of GDP is at an all-time high, around 9% of GDP."

Though February is definitely low season for travel to Moscow, there's a notable uptick in Syrian travelers there now. Syrian foreign minister Walid al-Mouallem is due this weekend, and Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, president of the opposition umbrella group Syrian National Coalition, is expected there later in the week.
At a time when the prospects for ending Syria's dramatic downward spiral into total war have never seemed bleaker, the Russians -- and United Nations officials -- seem to see a few hopeful signs. The U.N.-Arab League envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who was said to be ready to quit his post two months ago, has agreed to stay through the end of this year, a hint that he sees movement under the surface.
Much depends on what direction the United States now chooses to take right, too. U.N. officials hope that with a new secretary of state, the way may be cleared for a stronger U.S.-Russian partnership to shut the war down. Conversely, they fear derailment of a turn toward negotiations by the intensifying calls in Washington for U.S. arms shipments to rebels.

Over the last few years, Washington political types have become increasingly concerned about large deficits and the subsequent increase in government debt. The rhetoric of those pushing for deficit reduction—the so-called deficit hawks—has grown more apocalyptic, with some prophesying that the United States was on the verge of collapse due to its debt burden and calling for sweeping action.
These warnings are wrong, and the suggestion that we undertake massive spending cuts is dangerous and misguided.

Washington's obsession with near-term debt reduction could cost Americans 750,000 jobs this year alone, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. That won't surprise anyone who has been paying attention, though. The CBO has been suggesting that short-term austerity is a bad idea for years now.

Whatever else its long-term implications for the nation may be, the great recession of the twenty-first century has been a bonanza for books. Every aspect of the crisis has seemed to justify published explanations, examination, or narratives—from political appointees, economists, and journalists. On his way out, Timothy Geithner has already said he will do a memoir of his four tumultuous years as treasury secretary. Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke has a collection of lectures coming later this month from Princeton University Press. His predecessor, Alan Greenspan, whose reputation has taken a drubbing, is writing an account presumably in an effort to restore his legacy. Given the scale of what the country has endured, it is encouraging that so many interpretations of what has happened are already available, although making time to plow through them and choose which versions are best seems a formidable task for even the most committed reader.

In a recent post, Brookings Fellow Grover "Russ" Whitehurst offered an argument against public funding for universal pre-K. With President Obama calling for the federal government to work with states to "make high-quality preschool available to every child in America," we can expect the policy conversation regarding the value of universal pre-K to rise from a simmer to a boil. This makes it important to understand what the research shows, and how it can inform sound public policy.
Whitehurst calls for an evidence-based approach to policy, and selects several studies to support his argument that universal pre-k would not be a good public investment. He turns first to the research on Head Start, which has been disappointing to its own supporters and red meat to its opponents. Yet using the Head Start research in a discussion of universal pre-K is an odd choice. Most prominently, as a program that serves children living in poverty, Head Start is not a universal pre-K program. The Head Start model is quite different from the pre-K model in other ways as well, notably its emphasis on health and social services for families, engagement of families in their children's learning, and serving children with special needs. Head Start and state pre-K programs are plainly different. Nevertheless, Whitehurst asks, "If a year of Head Start does not improve achievement in elementary school, should we assume that a year of state pre-K does?" The research suggests that the answer is, "yes," with several studies finding gains from pre-K programs that are two or more times greater than those from Head Start.

Senate Republicans presumably hope that the ten-day delay they have forced on a vote to confirm their former colleague, Chuck Hagel, as secretary of defense may serve to ratchet up pressure on him regarding a cause dear to many in their party caucus: nuclear weapons.
Much has been made of the overwhelming attention that members of the Senate armed services committee directed to Iran's nuclear program. There has been rather less public attention to Republican members' emphatic insistence on investing substantial new resources in upgrading the American nuclear arsenal.

So my son is coming home probably this weekend...Im very excited and I just cant wait to have him home.Weve painted the nursery and today is shopping for crib and basinet and everything else he will need....So to give you guys a short summary..I live by myself because my boyfriends mom didnt want him to move in with me and like a puppy dog he obeyed....we are having trouble so I think that actually it was the best decision since I dont want my child to be in a dysfuncitonal home...with me he'll be just fine my parents and my older sister dont live to far and they have helped and I know will help alot....So the thing was that the Nurses were asking me who I lived with and such and who will be helping me. I told them I live by myself and that I will be doing Mommy duty on my own but that my Mom and my sisters will be pitching in as much as they can. They asked about the father and I said that hes going to help financially as much as he can but that Im going to be the sole provider for my son and he will be living with me always. Then one of the nurses said Im 2 young to be a preemie mom and that maybe I should move in with my mom. I told her Im perfectly capable of doing this on my own...Im almost done with my roller coaster NICU stay and Ive been very responsible so far...Ive saved enough money for everything my baby needs...I got my own place and even though Im strugling to pay bills...who isnt with this economy anyways?????? It made me feel uncomfortable for them to think that just because Im 19 i cant take care of my preemie baby...He is my son and I love him beyond beleive....and even though Im 19, I am a mother and my motherly intinct, and the help of my family is whats gonna see us thru....
2 young to be a Preemie Mom
Blessed 2 b the Mother�of Wilson Joel born at 29 weeks
First of all, I'm glad that your baby is doing well and will be home, sounds like, very soon. How exciting! I can't imagine having a preemie baby at 19 . . . it must be very hard and it sounds like you are very mature (heck of a lot more than I was at 19!!). It's hard no matter what age you are but it sounds like you really have your head on straight and your baby's best interest at heart. Good for you!!
I have a feeling that the nurse's comment wasn't intended to be rude or insensitive. While I may be wrong, I think maybe she was just thinking how hard it is on parents at any age and especially going through it without support right there with you (in the same house). Those first few weeks home are really tough but it sounds like you have an awesome support group in your parents and sister and it WILL see you thru whatever may come. I have a husband and I still rely on my family so much - don't know what I'd do without them. I'm really sorry though that she made you feel bad about your situation but just know that you're going to do great!
Corbyn - 2-18-09 born at 30 weeks at 1lb 10oz & 13" due to reverse flow and IUGR. Dreams do come true!! web.me.com/michael.farris
Yay, yay, yay Wilson! That is sooo awesome, hon! God heard your prayers - congrats!
What Leslie said, I could not have said better myself. I have told you that before - that someone as young as you should not have to go through something as tough as this. But, you made it through the NICU and I am sure you will be an awesome mother. I do not think that the nurse meant anything bad by what she said, just that it would be easier to have your mom there 24/7. I know I have my mom here at least 2-3 times a week, and I am much older and have DH for support. I guess she was saying that you will need as much help as you can get, and you will - we all do. One thing to consider as well is that it would be much cheaper to move in with mom and you could afford a lot more for your LO, as well as yourself.
From birth I have relied on You;�You brought me forth from my mother's womb.�I will ever praise You.�Psalm 71
I agree with the PP. I don't think the nurse was intentionally being rude, but I also see your standpoint. I myself was 19 when I had my son at 33 weeks. With that being said, I also had at 17months old at home!!! Taking care of a preemie is challenging, but you sound like you have a great support system. I was and am married to a great man, but my closest family other than him was 12 hours away. It does get challenging but is worth every minute!! Good luck!
JACCI-Wife to Joe-Mommy to Darling (37wks) & Duke (33wks) & Kayleigh (35 wks) & J (35 wks)
I agree with what's been said so far. You sound very mature and I congratulate you for doing your best. I'm 25 with preemie twins and believe me it's been harder than I ever though. I too have my mom, sister, cousin, aunt or mother-in-law over all the time. Don't take offense to it. I think the nurse just wanted you to have some help because she knows that the preemie roller coaster might be just beginning. I don't know how I would have don't this at 19 all by myself, honestly I could not have done it alone.
Your very mature and I don't think that it was meant to be offensive as the other mothers have mentioned. I am sure that they were just worried about your age and then the fact that you are doing it alone. I am so glad that hear your baby is doing wonderful and that he is coming home! Congratulations to you! I think that we as parents aren't given anything that we aren't able to handle and things like this and having a preemie makes you stronger! Good luck to you and again congrats on your little man!
C mom to: J 5/09 34w 4d. SARCASM IS A GIRLS BEST FRIEND... Freedom of religion is great but freedom from religion is by far a more grand feeling.
I know exactly what you mean. I just barely turned 21 and I remember one time the NNP asked me how old I was and I said 20 (I was at the time) and she made this weird face and said "Oh you are SO young!" Honestly i didn't let it get to me. I feel like I was just as good of a parent then other mothers in the nicu. Then again I live in Utah and the average age to have children is around my age, so I'm not really in the minority. Don't let it get to ya. Anyone that has been through the nicu for a long extended period of time has pretty much gone through "mommy training" and I have done very well at home. Infact she will not let me put her down. She loves her mommy. :P

"Ignorance is Bliss"
I was 32 when my preemie came home, and a NICU nurse to boot! I still wanted my mom at home!
Congrats on your baby coming home!
That is so unture. I had my furst preemie, yes I have two now, at 17 and my 2nd at 19. Age has nothing to do with it as long as your a good mommy.
Noone ever said anything about my age when DS was in the hospital.
I'm a mom and I have a few kids.
I was also a young mom with my first DD... I was 20 (she was born in july and i turned 20 in mar) and my daughter was 6weeks early so i would just not worry about it. It does NOT matter if you are 19 or 30 having a preemie is a hard thing NO MATTER what and how will she know how good of a mom you'll be there are some couples that arent as good of a parent as a single mom. so i would just keep your head up and just tell her honestly its non of her business...the baby will be takin care of GREAT care of and thats ALL that matters it does NOT matter who is going to help...if anyone!
Take care! I am sure you'll be so excited when your LO comes home

Finally, there's Libya. Muammar Gaddafi once patronized Palestinian terrorists who attacked Israel. But that was decades ago. The greatest Libyan threat to Israel now comes from the many weapons that went missing in the war that raged throughout 2011, which are allegedly pouring into Gaza with the help of Beduin in the Sinai Peninsula. But the means for those weapons to arrive in Gaza have not changed. The Israelis will need to continue to deny these weapons entry via smuggling routes and tunnels.
A better-armed Hamas is worrisome, but Hamas is a train wreck. In addition to the financial hardships owing to international sanctions against Iran (the group's primary patron), the ongoing carnage in Syria has forced its external leaders to flee Damascus. It's unclear that any other Arab state will bear the burden of harboring the group, given the expected fallout with Washington.
Notably, Hamas appears to be wooing Jordan. This is obviously cause for concern in Israel, which made peace with the Hashemite Kingdom. In 1999, King Hussein of Jordan threw Hamas out of the country, but his son Abdullah is now mending fences with the group in hopes of wooing the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood into a political partnership.
But, he too, will likely deny Hamas safe haven. He wants to shore up his rule, but cannot threaten his alliance with Washington. If Abdullah fell, that would mean trouble for Israel. But that's an unlikely scenario for the near term.
So far, the greatest question mark of the Arab Spring is the Palestinians.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has interpreted the protests as a green light to spurn Jerusalem and Washington to pursue recognition of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations. Abbas reportedly intends to continue this campaign in 2012, challenging the Israelis in international legal fora and beyond. With no discernible peace parameters in place, the Palestinian position has become something of a wild card for Israel.
But for the time being, the Palestinians are unlikely to launch another intifada. Indeed, while violent groups may attempt more attacks against Israel on an ad hoc basis, Palestinians leaders in the West Bank quietly cede that they are still regrouping after an exhausting round of fighting with the Israelis during the second intifada (2000-2005).
Of course, the sands shift daily. Israeli security analysts must struggle to make sense of the ongoing instability. As they do, they continue to churn out new worst-case scenarios on a daily or weekly basis.
Here's the best of the bad news: the Arab protests amount to a much-needed reminder to the Israelis that their region is filled with Islamists, and that paying off dictators cannot solve Israel's problems in the long term.
But here's real bad news: the Arab protests are a distraction from the threat of a nuclear Iran. The regime in Tehran continues to inch closer to the nuclear threshold, but the Israeli response is still fuzzy. Will the Israelis neutralize it with force? Has the Obama administration given them a green light? Judging from the heated debate inside Israel, and the outward disagreements with Washington, Israel's way forward is far from settled.
The Arab Spring may feel like a harsh winter, but the real winds of war continue to blow farther east.

In early America, Quakers dominated the political and social landscape of the area around Philadelphia. Because this region held a position of political and economic strength, the Quakers were tightly connected to the transatlantic economy. Given this vantage, they had easy access to the latest trends in fashion and business. Detailing how Quakers have manufactured, bought, and used such goods as clothing, furniture, and buildings, the essays in "Quaker Aesthetics," edited by Emma Jones Lapsansky, professor of history at Haverford College, and Anne A. Verplanck, curator of prints and paintings at the Winterthur Museum, reveal a much more complicated picture than that of a simple people with simple tastes. Instead, the authors show how, despite the high quality of their material lives, the Quakers in the past worked toward the spiritual simplicity they still cherish.

Sex/Gender and Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Care of Osteoporosis

for improving the equity and quality of care, and
(3) identify strategies for achieving these goals.
Where are we now? Participants identified shortcomings
in the quality of care for osteoporosis and fragility fractures

Where do we need to go? Participants agreed opportu-
nities exist for health professionals to contribute to
improved osteoporosis management and secondary fracture
prevention. They agreed on a need to define standards of
care and management for osteoporosis and fragility frac-
tures and develop strategies to involve physicians and other
health professionals in improving care.
How do we get there? The group proposed strategies to
improve the quality and equity of osteoporosis and care
after fragility fractures. These included increased patient
and physician education, with identification of ''champi-
ons'' for osteoporosis care within and outside of the
healthcare workforce; creation of incentives for hospitals
and physicians to improve care; and research comparing
the effectiveness of approaches to osteoporosis screening
and fracture management.
Osteoporosis and associated fragility fractures are a major
cause of healthcare utilization [6], disability [19], and
excess mortality [4]. Osteoporosis affects approximately
10 million adults in the United States and is a major risk
factor for some two million fragility fractures occurring
annually in this country. The estimated cost of these frac-
tures exceeded $17 billion in 2005 and is projected to rise
by 50% by 2025 because of the rapid increase in the
number of older Americans [6]. While major efforts at
osteoporosis treatment and fracture prevention have
focused on white and Asian women, recent data demon-
strate osteoporosis is an emerging public health concern
