Kendall Jenner Is A Star In Stripes In The Big Apple
Monday, May 2, 2016
As she preps for the Met Gala on Monday night, Kendall Jenner is looking comfy in New York City. The model joined sister Kim and her husband Kanye, mom Kris Jenner and sister Kylie, for dinner on Sunday night.
For the outing, the 20-year-old donned a pair of CItizens of Humanity jeans ($258), a cropped white t-shirt from Redone and an eye-catcching Erika Cavallini "Caban Dilip" coat ($498.99). Is it just us or does it look like she's wearing a man's robe? Either way—we are kind of digging it!
Along with the loungewear, the brunette opted for Krystal Patent Leather Boots by Kenneth Cole Black Label ($495) and a necklace by Dylanlex.
We're feeling her off-duty look but really we can't wait to see what she has in store for the Met Gala!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Is The Toast Of The Town In Her Champagne Duster
Wednesday, April 27, 2016
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one high-flying vixen!
The British beauty put her razor sharp cheekbones and her superior style on display at LAX on Thursday. The sexy Victoria's Secret model made her way through the airport looking chic in her dark shades, black basics and long, champagne-colored jacket.
For her flight, the model stepped out in a pair of Paige Denim "Dover" exposed zip ankle skinny jeans in the Black Shadow wash ($269). Of course, the most eye-catching piece in this look is the champagne-colored Double Face Satin Soft Trench Coat by Tibi ($895).
The blonde finished off the sleek ensemble with a classic pair of Gianvito Rossi leather Portofino heels ($790), Saint Laurent sunglasses cat-eye acetate sunglasses ($395) and a Celine belt handbag in leather.

Kendall Jenner Wears $2880 Chloe Track Suit After Coachella
Monday, April 18, 2016
Kendall Jenner and her boho style ruled the fashion scene at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, but when she jetted out of the Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday evening—she was definitely sporting a different type of look. Hello, Athliesure!
The leggy brunette opted for a two-toned silk blend jersey sweater by Chloe, which is priced at $1,595, and a pair of jersey wide-leg sweatpants from Chloe, $1,295. That's $2880 for a track suit!
In addition to the high-priced off-duty look, she selected a Givenchy micro "Lucrezia" tote ($1285) and those dumb Fendi "Furry Monsters" that the Kardashian/Jenners seem to love.
The outfit looks totally comfy—which we understand for a flight but spending almost $3K on a track suit is absurd, and pairing it with heels is even more absurd.

Special Report
Barack in Berlin
A report from inside the throng in Tiergarten Park.
BERLIN -- When Barack Obama's campaign finally selected the Victory Column in Berlin as the site for his speech on global cooperation, no doubt they considered its history and aura of gravitas. Located in Berlin's central Tiergarten Park, the Victory Column was built in 1873 to commemorate German military victories and stands just a short distance from the former site of the Berlin Wall. It also stands right next to Berlin's most popular gay naked sunbathing spot.
Obama fans making their way to the security entrance stared and laughed nervously as they passed by a field of 30-40 men soaking up the sun in the buff. One girl tucked her copy of Obama's memoir Dreams From My Father into her bag and pulled out her camera to snap a picture, giggling, "This is so going on my Facebook."
After that distraction, Obama fans faced a veritable obstacle course to get to the security entrance. Campaign volunteers were hunting through the crowd looking for Americans to register to vote. Anyone who opened their mouth to utter something resembling English was immediately pounced upon. One poor German girl, mistakenly identified as American, lamented to the volunteers, "I want to register, but I can't."
No large political gathering is complete without some of Lyndon LaRouche's followers. They were out in force distributing flyers with the headline "P.U.M.A.: Party Unity My Ass," accusing Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean of subverting Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Obama fans waited in long lines as every single person underwent a rigorous security check. All the contents of every bag had to be emptied onto a table and then examined. Security guards clicked every pen to make sure they were in fact pens. People had to take a test photo with their cameras to show that their cameras were in fact cameras. They were also required to take a test sip from their water bottles to show that the contents were not poisonous.
Once they were through security, Obama fans faced an even longer wait for the man himself to appear. Gates opened at 4 p.m. for a speech that began at 7. They read German romance novels and rolled cigarettes to pass the time. A stand dispensing Berliner Kindl beer was doing brisk business.
Music was played loudly over the main speakers. Selections included Estelle and Kanye West's hit song "American Boy," which features lyrics very appropriate to Obama's current world tour, "Who the hottest in the world right now/Just touched down in London town." Later a live band called Raymond took the stage. Simon Gierke, 27, a native of Hamburg, commented, "They are the worst band ever to come out of Germany."
The crowd, which eventually swelled to around 200,000, seethed with anticipation as it waited for Obama. A young German named Bastian Honig had driven six hours from his home in southern Germany to attend the speech. He has been following Obama's career for four years and proudly wore the Obama '08 shirt that an American friend had procured for him. "I cannot believe that Obama chose Berlin to make his big speech," Honig gushed.
Kimani, an American man with long dreadlocks, took a more relaxed view. "Every politician talks about 50 percent truth and 50 percent bulls--t. Though with Obama I think it's more like 60-40."
BANNERS AND SIGNS were forbidden at the speech, but there was certainly no lack of political statements. The World Wildlife Fund handed out thousands of free t-shirts emblazoned with the words "Yes You Can" at the top and a polar bear with human hands pointing a finger outward and the words "I want YOU to stop climate change" underneath.
American political memorabilia company Brown and Young was selling commemorative buttons. Some were fairly traditional, featuring Obama's official logo. Others were a little more offbeat. One depicted Obama in front of the German flag and the words "Deutschland fuer Obama" and another depicted Obama in lederhosen surrounded by beer steins and the word "Obamafest."
Ulf Dagner, a Swede staying in Berlin for a psychology conference, found the Obamafest button to be disrespectful yet could not resist buying it. He put it on his messenger bag and fixed a more traditional "Obama '08" button prominently on the front of his shirt.
As it got closer to 7 p.m., the area around the stage became densely crowded. The media covering the event did not have it much better. They were packed like sardines into their high rise across from the podium where Obama would speak. CNN star reporter Christiane Amanpour managed to stick an arm out to wave to a fan.
WHEN OBAMA finally took to the stage -- a full 15 minutes behind schedule -- the crowd went wild. The 27-minute speech was interrupted by applause 30 times. They applauded when he had the audacity to declare that he did not speak to them "as a candidate for president, but as a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." They kept applauding from beginning to end, though early on, when he was extensively reviewing the history of the Berlin airlift, one German girl whispered to her friend, "But I already know all this."
When the speech ended, many Obama fans tried to make their way to the front to shake the candidate's hand. Most of the crowd, however, started to head home. John McCain has recently been criticizing Obama for changing positions on an exit strategy for Iraq. Obama's campaign certainly failed to arrange a good exit strategy for the crowd at the rally. A large wire fence kept the surging masses locked in without explanation for about 15 minutes. Some enterprising teenagers had started climbing over the portable toilets to escape.
Germans by and large were very happy with the speech. They felt Obama hit all the right notes. Some were a little disappointed that he did not emulate Kennedy's famous "Ich bin ein Berliner" and try to speak a few German phrases.
Over 700 German police wearing green berets with edelweiss emblems were deployed for the visit. They were only required to spring into action once during the speech. A group of six drunken, shirtless young men had gotten a little rowdy and needed to be frog marched out.
The total cost of Obama's stop in Berlin came to about half a million Euros ($786,000), half of which was being picked up by the German taxpayer. "No problem," says Simon Gierke. "Even if it cost millions. Still no problem. This is not about Obama or McCain. This is about living together as humans."
Jens Wieland, another German taxpayer, is equally unbothered by the cost. He says, "More money is spent on much more stupid things. Here at least you get something for it."

In a March 2002 pilot project for a post-tensioned system, Granite Construction out of Watsonville, Calif., installed 340 precast, prestressed panels on a frontage road along Interstate 35 near Georgetown, Texas. Caltrans sponsored the next pilot project in April 2004, modifying several design features and requiring nighttime construction on Interstate 10 just outside Los Angeles.
Both the Texas and California projects are part of FHWA's ongoing Concrete Pavement Technology Program Task 58. This program also has granted funding ranging from $100,000 to $400,000 and design and onsite support from The Transtec Group of Austin, Texas, on two additional demonstration projects in Texas and Missouri.
The post-tensioned system consists of three different panel types: joint panels, central stressing panels, and base panels. Joint panels located at the end of each post-tensioned section contain dowelled expansion joints to absorb horizontal slab movements. Central stressing panels at the middle of each post-tensioned section contain large pockets or block-outs where the post-tensioning strands are fed into the ducts and stressed. Base panels make up the majority of the pavement and are placed between the joint panels and stressing panels.
In the Georgetown project workers placed 8-inch-thick panels on a thin, hot-mix asphalt leveling course topped with a polypropylene liner to prevent the precast from bonding with the base. Then the contractor post-tensioned the panels in the longitudinal direction in 250-foot sections. Shear keys along the edges—comparable to tongue and groove joints—ensure alignment during installation and interlock the panels to prevent differential vertical movement between joints.
In the Caltrans project, California-based Yeager Skanska placed 31 panels in two nights on a lean concrete base and post-tensioned the panels in the longitudinal direction in 124-foot sections. Pomeroy Corp. of Peris, Calif., manufactured the panels to span 37 feet—the full width of two lanes and the shoulder. Caltrans specified that the top surface of the precast panels vary in cross slope from 2% on the driving lanes to 5% on the shoulders. Caltrans officials expect the precast panels, placed in one of the country's heaviest traffic areas, to last more than 50 years.
Texas DOT, with FHWA and Transtec, is planning a second precast demonstration project on Highway 175 southeast of Dallas for fall 2005 or spring 2006. These panels will have pits precast to accommodate weigh-in-motion scales. On a rural section of Interstate 57 near Sikeston, the Missouri DOT will install five 8-inch-thick precast sections to replace 45-year-old slabs in a heavy truck traffic area.
Caltrans has worked with all three methods for replacing highway concrete with precast. Pyle said, "This option has potential to be used in both short work windows and in weekend closures when we will close a portion of the freeway for 55 hours and work to achieve literally weeks of work, during a continuous, focused work window. The goal is that the public, who commuted on the freeway on Friday morning, will see a completely new pavement, for potentially up to a couple of miles, on the following Monday."

Westbrooks-Taylor leaves High Point
Originally published May 15, 2013 at 6 a.m., updated May 14, 2013 at 2:03 p.m.
Toni Westbrooks-Taylor, will not be returning to High Point next year. She will be following her own advice, "Change is sometimes necessary to grow." She will be the new superintendent at St. Elizabeth in August.
Westbrooks-Taylor recently shared of her accomplishments at High Point since joining the staff in 2002.
Westbrooks-Taylor came from working at Russellville, Cole-R-I, where she was encouraged to get her administrator's degree by her mother and mentors. She achieved this while working for six years as the Special Education teacher and as a contracted employee at High Point as the Special Education Tester. This made her familiar with High Point, having been in the school a few times.
Upon accomplishing her administrator's degree, Toni put her hat in the ring for a principalship in Columbia and at High Point. She was offered both positions on the same day, through much prayer she decided High Point would be the best fit for her.
When arriving at High Point the former administrator pointed out several areas of concern to include problems with the well, the boiler (heater), the gym floor, the roof, the lack of space, the septic tank, and the need for air conditioning, a breakfast program, special needs room and computers.
Westbrooks-Taylor saw all of these needs as challenges and with much support from the community, school board and parents, she is happy to report she is leaving High Point in pretty good shape after 10 years. "Hopefully the new administrator will be able to come in and maintain the building and growth of the children," shared Westbrooks-Taylor.
On her first day at the school she was given a letter from the Department of Natural Resources stating there was gas in the water. So with enthusiasm and freshness she approached the problem and got a new well for clean water for her students. She also saw the special needs children did not have a room of their own. She had one constructed over the gym, and within a few months the boiler went out which destroyed the room. The special needs room was relocated to a closet in which Westbrooks-Taylor had to make deals to get from the custodian. However, when the new addition came she was able to build a special needs room for the students.
She felt the breakfast program was very important. Being a rural school many students have to get on the bus very early in the morning. Parents were feeding their children, however it did not last until lunch time. A breakfast program is now in place and test scores have risen at High Point R-III. Westbrooks-Taylor attributes this to feeding the children the most important meal of the day, breakfast.
Westbrooks-Taylor shared, "Discipline has never been a problem at the school. I always do the best job I can do with the information I have at the time, I can't please everyone, but I am never afraid to go back and revisit any situation." She went on to say, "If a mistake is made in love it can be corrected much more quickly."
One thing Westbrooks-Taylor is especially proud of is the computer lab. When she arrived at High Point they only had three computers in the entire school and only one could be on the internet at a time. She worked hard to bring the school into the technology world. Through many contributions, grants and upgrades through Iland communications she accomplished this and helped the community with faster internet service in the process.
With a new wing for the school, much needed classrooms for the students to have the space they needed to learn was accomplished. She is very appreciative of the committee that guided and assisted in making the correct choices for space usage. She recognizes how important it was to be aware of what the public wanted.
Westbrooks-Taylor feels it has been a team effort to raise good students that become successful citizens from High Point. She enjoys seeing the accomplishments of previous students as they achieve higher levels in surrounding high schools. She is always amazed when they return to visit always telling her two things, "This school is so much smaller than I remember" and "We should have a High Point High School." Westbrooks-Taylor shared she always tells them "You can't be a big fish in a small pond."
Through adding a new addition, putting on a roof, replacing the boiler and adding air conditioning, along with the new security efforts to the building she has had to make a lot of decisions. While making those she said, "I made them by keeping the best interest of the children in mind and doing the things that allow me to sleep at night."
In a recent survey by parents of High Point students the staff received a 90 percent success rating on how they care about the students. Westbrooks-Taylor said she couldn't ask for more supportive parents. She loves the family atmosphere at High Point.
Westbrooks-Taylor will miss her coworkers and staff, however she will be in the same district so is very hopeful to stay in touch.
In closing Westbrooks-Taylor shared, "When I left Russellville a co-worker came to me and shared 'I have given you an excellent recommendation, don't make a liar out of me.'" When speaking of leaving High Point she shared the community had been good to her and shared with her new school district kind words. Westbrooks-Taylor closed our time together by sharing "I am not going to make a liar out of anyone - I will do my best!"

An electronic voting tabulator broke down during the August 5th primary election in Delhi Township. Township Clerk Evan Hope says about 20 ballots cast at the Holt High School North Campus were inserted in the machine's alternate bin. They were counted about an hour later when a new machine was brought in.
Hope says it's not uncommon for the machines to break down, especially in hot weather with high humidity. So far about 260 people have votes at the precinct. Hope says very low voter turnout made it easy to switch out the machine. He says all voters have been accommodated and no one was turned away.

I got this idea from reading others posts. I didn't realize there were other people like me out there.
I have always suffered from severe anxiety but through the years have learned some coping skills. Since becoming pregnant (probably from hormones) my anxiety has become elevated. I suffer from social and dr. anxiety. The thought of going to the dr.'s office can leave me on edge for days before I go. I also HATE leaving my house lately. I have some fear that something horrible will happen to me while I am out of my house. I have seen a therapist and decided that the only way I can fix this is by facing my fears.
Another way I thought would be helpful (for all of us) would be to have a support group. I will start a list of everyone who wants to be in this support group. From day to day (or whenever you have time) try to get on and tell us about your day and if you experienced any depression/anxiety. Talk about ways that helped..and ask for help.

Petmag supports Guide Dogs for the Blind
Birds - Cages
Provide the largest bird cage you can possibly accommodate and afford for your bird. There should be plenty of room for it to move, flit around, and have toys* and perches inside with good access to its food and water.
Before buying any bird cage consider that birds, if unhappy in their environment, may engage in self-destructive behaviour, like plucking its own feathers out or making lots of noise. While there are not really many drawbacks to owning a bird the major benefit is that once you and your bird do bond, it will become your partner for the rest of its life. Because it is so dependent on you, it will be very loyal to you.
When you are thinking of buying a bird cage, it's important to talk to an experienced breeder or well established pet shop owner (not one of these out of town hyper pet stores!) who can help you decide on the type of cage and bird that is right for you. There may be a local cage bird society that you can contact for more advice.

BREAKING: Regnerus Same-Sex Parenting Study Never Meant to Study Same-Sex Parenting
Rob Tisinai
March 11th, 2013
Mark's Regnerus' study on same-sex parenting was never meant to study same-sex parenting, and the agreement that funded it did not specify that he should make any effort to do so.
That's a shocker. Even if you've been following this from the beginning…that's a shocker.
The University of Texas has begun releasing documents concerning the study and the agreement for its funding. Here's a screen-grab from Appendix A of that agreement, specifying which three groups the study should focus on:
Having trouble reading it? These are the three groups [emphasis added]:
- Lived with a parent who had a romantic relationship with a member of the same gender (whether the romantic relation lived with the respondent [i.e., the child] or not)
- Lived with an adoptive parent who was neither related by biology nor marriage
- Lived with a single biological parent who lived with a member of the other gender but did not marry
Do you see what's missing from that list? Children who were raised by same-sex parents. This study on same-parenting never required Regnerus to find — or even look for — children raised by same-sex parents.
This is enormous. Both Regnerus and a slew of anti-groups have presented his work as a revelation in the study of same-sex parenting. The National Organization for Marriage lies about this consistently, and Regnerus talked about his results this way in an interview with Kathryn Jean Lopez at the National Review:
LOPEZ: What is the reigning academic view of children in same-sex families? How does this study depart from that view? Do you anticipate engagement from academia?
REGNERUS: No substantive differences, on things that matter. That's been the emergent view. This study definitely affirms that there is a gold standard [of a married mom and dad].
However, we've known from the beginning that Regnerus didn't report outcomes for same-sex parenting, but for kids with a parent who at some point had a same-sex relationship. Only a small fraction of these kids spent even as little as three years being raised by same-sex parents.
And when Regnerus is asked why he didn't find more stable, same-sex parenting families he responds, "Well, they just were not that common in the nationally representative population." But it would have been more honest for him to say, "Reporting stable same-sex parents? Oh, that was never something we planned to do."
Meanwhile, keep in mind that this is part of the agreement for the study:
Moreover, because there have been no large-scale studies of young adults who have spent time in households with two parents of the same sex, the NFSS seeks to field exactly such a study.
But — and let say this one more time, because it bears repeating and repeating:
Regnerus says he couldn't report on stable same-sex parented families because he couldn't find enough, but in fact, from the very beginning, the study never mandated that he even look for them. The parameters for this study on same-sex parenting explicitly state it does not matter whether the children were raised by same-sex parents.
And in case you think I'm being unfair, remember that the study specified exactly three groups to focus on:
- When it came to adoptive families, the study mandated that the child live with both those adults.
- When it came to a parent with an unmarried opposite sex partner, the study mandated that the child live with both those adults.
- But when it came to a parent with a same-sex partner, the study mandated…nothing at all about the child living with both those adults.
So now we know: no matter how Regnerus tried to spin his work after its release, this alleged study on same-sex parenting never required that same-sex parents even be located, much less studied. This is damning. Note that I'm not throwing an ad hominem attack at the researchers, the funding sources, or the publicists. None of those people matter to the validity of this critique. No, this is a case of the study damning itself, not in its conclusion or its implementation, but much earlier than that. The study damns itself from the beginning, in the tainted agreement that kicked the whole thing off.

Those RSV4's look pretty hot, looks like nothing really changed from last year, hard to tell though. Looks like a good season so far. SP3 was pretty intense at the end, gotta say WSBK is still better than MotoGP.

ROME, Ga. (AP) _ No charges will be filed against the widow of a
Berry College coach who is accused of self-aborting two fetuses --
one in Florida and one in Georgia -- and keeping them in a storage
The district attorney in Rome, Georgia, says they weren't able
to find any charges that fit the situation.
Authorities in Bay County (Florida) received a tip a year ago
that Sarah Jo Warner Izard, the wife of the late coach Jim Izard,
told friends there that she kept the remains of two fetuses in a
storage shed in Georgia.
Investigators found two human fetuses hidden in containers in
the storage area. Izard reportedly told authorities shortly after
her husband's February 2006 suicide that she performed the
abortions herself with a coat hanger. Izard and her husband moved
to Florida following his resignation from Berry in 2005.
Indiana University paid Jim Izard to settle a discrimination
lawsuit he filed against the school more than four years ago.

Bad Santa is a 2003 film directed by Terry Zwigoff, produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, and starring Billy Bob Thornton as the title character and Tony Cox as his partner-in-crime. Bernie Mac, John Ritter (in his final live-action film), Lauren Graham, Lauren Tom, Ethan Phillips, Brett Kelly and Cloris Leachman are also featured.The unrated version of the film was released on DVD in 2004 as Badder Santa. A director's cut DVD has been released in November 2006. It features director Terry Zwigoff's cut of the film (including an audio commentary with him and the film's editor), but is three minutes shorter than the theatrical cut and ten minutes shorter than the unrated version.Bad Santa was Terry Zwigoff's fourth film and was by far his most mainstream, following the very limited releases of Crumb and Ghost World.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. My plan for the 15th June is to hold a Loopathon at the Ocean Elements centre in Vassiliki. I am raising money for W4CR (Watersports For Cancer Research).
Personally, i'll be attempting to do 100 forward loops in a day - or as many as I can squeeze in while the wind is there. (For my non-windsurfing friends, that is a whole front flip with my board and sail x 100!)
To add to the challenge, if I hit my £500 fundraising target, i'll do the whole thing in Speedos. If that isn't an incentive to dig deep and donate, I don't know what is!
If the sight of me in Speedos is something you'd rather not see, I will also accept donations in favour of a wetsuit or boardies.
If the wind doesn't show up (June is a great month for wind, so it should do) then I will attempt this on the next windy day.
To fit in with the Sunrise to Sunset theme, we will be running a 'dawn raid' SUP cruise. Sunrise will be at around 6am - and we will be on the water to welcome it as we paddle around the bay.
Hopefully I will see some of you in resort for the big day. For those who won't be in Vass, I will be filming and photographing the whole day so everyone can see how we get on. You can expect plenty of cringeworthy Speedo shots!
Thanks in advance for any donation you can spare and don't forget to sign up for GiftAid.
A massive thank you for the idea must go to Sam Ross and John Palmer, who originally did this a few years ago. Check out how they got on: http://vimeo.com/11599397
P.S. I will be posting updates on this page, but you can keep track of my campaign through a few other sources too:

Essex coach Grayson felt side were below-par in Derbyshire loss
11:47 28 May 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Essex head coach Paul Grayson believes his side were facing an uphill battle after posting just 182 in the first innings.
Essex coach Paul Grayson admitted his side were completely outclassed as they slipped to a 10-wicket defeat over Derbyshire inside three days.
Only 182 runs were scored by Essex on the opening day after winning the toss and opting to bat.
And Grayson believes that was his sides downfall, as it has been for numerous seasons at the County Ground.
"We have been outplayed, over the three days Derbyshire completely outplayed us and as a team sometimes you have to take your medicine," said Grayson.
"The opposition were better then us, we have got to live with that. It is our first loss of the season in four day cricket. It's disappointing to take but they are playing with a lot of confidence and are top for a reason and on reflection of the game you cannot score 182 on a first day wicket. We have done that far too often this year, last year and the one previous, there is only so much fighting you can do."
Skipper James Foster's 96 and returning Owais Shah's 75 were the only highlights of the third day for the hosts as they were completely swept aside by Derbyshire, winning for the first time at Chelmsford in 75 years.
"We showed a bit of fight with the ball. I thought generally we bowled pretty well in that first innings to keep them down to 320," added the coach.
"I thought James Foster and Owais Shah played well today but until we score bigger runs in first innings it is always going to be tough going."

Its interesting… after having moved five times in the last five years (granted it was sometimes a few times in the same town). It has pretty much come to my attention, that it always takes me at least half a year to a year to get my bearings and really explore the neighboring towns.
I suppose its one of those situations where, when you first move into an area, you check-out all the places of interest. However, since you're not familiar with anything, everything seems further than it actually is. You get inundated with life's daily chores and boom the next thing you know a year and some change has past.
Funny thing is, its usually just when I get comfortable with the town I go out to explore... we move, but more of that on a later date. So now, that being said, during the holiday break we visited and explored a little neighboring town called Los Altos, CA quite a bit.
Its a unique little place with more mom and pop stores. Over heard a little history behind it. Apparently 'certain' people from Google… bought a lot of land or homes in the town and have a strong voice in township to keep these smaller shops in place over the commercial conglomerates. Ironic no?
Any who, I love this, it makes for a quaint, very unique experience in this town. I had the pleasure of purchasing my first typewriter in this town. Oh… yes it is a Valentine Olivetti, a piece I've had my eye on since design history 101. This town just have such lovely little stores. We found a couple of hobby stores, one for the boys, building lego cars, racing them, making model cars etc. and the one of course, for the gals called The Makery.
The store had such colorful displays it just makes a person 'want' things ha. We found out they had a lovely daughter and mommy sewing class for 8+ the following Sunday so decided to sign up! Our micro adventure into the town afforded us this wonderful opportunity to experience something both of us had been wanting to do for a long time.
Adventures… even these little ones to your neighboring town is so worth it. Discovering new places, opportunities, experience with your friends and family… I loved my micro adventures to this town. I got to sew with my little one, which by-the-way I'm so proud of haha. I haven't sewn in more than 2 decades so when our joint effort tote came out, both Amelie and I were quite impressed!
So here is to the hidden treasures and experiences that are waiting out there for you. Have a happy micro-adventure!

Todd Phillips, the director of "The Hangover Part III," has a message for film critics who didn't like the last sequel because it was a blatant rehash of the original "Hangover." And that message is basically screw you.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Phillips was asked about the criticism "The Hangover Part II" received for essentially recycling the first film down to the last detail. The movie was a big hit with audiences, grossing an astounding $586 million worldwide, but critics said it felt just a little bit familiar (just a little!).
Here's what Phillips had to say:
"The way that we would respond to those critics -- what we really wanted to do was do another wake-up movie. [Laughs.] But we thought that that would be short-sighted because we had this other idea. The real response we wanted to do was, 'They wake up in Rio and this, that, and the other thing happened to them.' But there is a little bit of a response to the critics at the end of this movie. If you stay through the credits, you'll see in typical Hangover fashion we have another big credit moment that I think everyone will enjoy. The criticisms were really about the structure -- they didn't know how this could happen to the same guys twice. 'Who would ever have a night like that twice?' So we were like, 'Oh yeah? It's going to happen three times. Fuck you.'"
In fairness, it wasn't just the structure the critics harped on. It wasn't just that "Part II" featured a bunch of dudes recovering from a wicked hangover while trying to find a missing friend. It was that "Part II" featured a bunch of dudes recovering from a wicked hangover while trying to find a missing friend while also sleeping with prostitutes, and acquiring wacky animal sidekicks, and getting into car chases, and fighting with drug dealers, and being pestered by Ken Jeong, and horribly disfiguring Ed Helms' face, and almost missing a family wedding, and hanging out with Mike Tyson. As I wrote at the time it came out, "The Hangover Part II"'s determination to repeat its predecessor in totality was so extreme it bordered on the experimental. Or at least on becoming the comic equivalent of the "Friday the 13th" franchise.
Now, granted, "Part II" made over half a billion dollars at the worldwide box office. So Phillips can legitimately argue that while critics found the repetition odd, audiences did not. Strangely enough though, Phillips did give critics what they wanted in "Part III" -- a "Hangover" that leaves out the previous movies' formula. There's no flashback structure or confused hotel wakeup this time around. There's not step retracing. There are wacky misadventures and men behaving badly, but not in quite such a shamelessly photocopied manner.
Unfortunately Phillips also decided to leave out the jokes, and he replaced them with Zach Galifianakis beheading a giraffe and falling over a lot and Ken Jeong shooting chickens, singing bad karaoke, and eating dog food on his hands and knees. Which I guess is a different sort of eff you to critics and audiences.

I am using getSignedRequest(); and signed_request to check wether or not a visitor likes the page.
When i go to my Page Tab, that shows an external website in the iframe, getSignedRequest(); and signed_request pulls the information correctly and shows it on my index.php page. But once i like (or dislike the page) and even do a window.location.reload(); - or when i navigate away from the index.php page and back to it again, getSignedRequest(); and signed_request do not fire. When i navigate to my index.php and do a manual refresh of my browser, getSignedRequest(); and signed_request fire and everything is fine.
Does anyone know what i might be doing wrong? Why does getSignedRequest(); and signed_request only fire once?
Here's the Page in question:
I have tried both of these methods:
$signed_request = $facebook->getSignedRequest();
and also
if (isset($_REQUEST['signed_request'])) {
$encoded_sig = null;
$payload = null;
list($encoded_sig, $payload) = explode('.', $_REQUEST['signed_request'], 2);
$sig = base64_decode(strtr($encoded_sig, '-_', '+/'));
$signed_request = json_decode(base64_decode(strtr($payload, '-_', '+/'), true),true);
} else {

What is ITIL®?
The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is the most widely accepted approach to Service Management in the world and has long been recognised as the industry standard for IT Service Management. ITIL is an adaptive and flexible framework for managing IT services and encourages you to use common sense rather than follow a rigid set of rules, thereby empowering individuals to make the best decisions for their organisation every day.
Our ITIL education programmes are a perfect complement to our technology, consulting and management services, by extending the organisational competencies to the individuals managing and delivering against those services. In addition to all our courses being certified by APMG, our instructors also hold the relevant ITIL certifications. Furthermore, we aim to enhance the learning experience by making sure that our ITIL educators come with a wealth of real life experience of the material they teach, so the students on our courses get more than the standard course material. They get lecturers who contextualise the topics being learnt and are able to bring it back to real day-to-day situations.
Our programmes are not only designed to educate and help the students achieve the certification, but are aimed at enabling the students to apply the knowledge they acquire back in the work place. Students need more than the standard course, they need a guide and mentor to rely on when they return to the workplace, so our additional mentorship programme places the lecturers at the fingertips of the students.
We offer the following ITIL courses: ITIL Simulations, ITIL Awareness, ITIL Foundation, ITIL Service Capability, ITIL Service Lifecycle and ITIL Managing across the Lifecycle.
So what is ITIL 2011? ITIL v3 has
recently undergone an update which reflects an evolution of the
methodology as noted by ITIL practitioners and the training
community over the past 3 years - these updates are now known as
ITIL v3 2011.
The project mandate of ITIL 2011
was to correct errors, remove inconsistencies, and improve clarity
and structure. Quintica are offering the latest in ITIL Training in
accordance with us being a world-class training organisation.
ITIL 2011 Changes
Basic elements of the other
manuals remain little changed but they are definitely easier to
follow. Each of the processes is presented and structured in a more
consistent way. Chapter 1 of each book focuses on introducing the
relevant phase, its scope, processes and position within the service
lifecycle. There is a common Chapter 2 looking at Service Management
as a practice. A table in Chapter 3 of each publication lists the
inputs/outputs to/from the relevant section of the lifecycle. There
is standard treatment of processes under headings such as
Objectives, Scope, Outputs and Interfaces. Ambiguities relating to
configuration record, CI, CMS and SKMS have been removed.

Japanese officials have announced that at least two minke whales caught by whalers off the coast of Hokkaido have been found to contain levels of radioactive cesium, likely as a result of the accident at Fukushima nuclear plant that was set in motion by the March 11 tsunami.
The whales were caught, not by the "research" fleet that recently returned to the North Pacific, but by vessels conducting so-called small-type whaling, which operate closer to shore and which this year pursued a self-assigned quota of 100 minke whales. Initial plans were for the fleet to operate more or less directly off Fukushima, but understandably given the circumstances, the vessels moved north to Kushiro.
According to an official with the Japanese Fisheries Agency, one whale had a cesium reading of 31 becquerels per kilogram, and the other a reading of 24.3 becquerels per kilogram. Both whales were killed about 650 km north of Fukushima; however, although the official stated that it was likely the contamination was a result of the nuclear accident, whale meat has not previously been tested for radioactive contamination.
The official insisted that the levels were well below "safe" levels of 500 becquerels; but, as Elizabeth Grossman wrote in April on Yale's Environment 360 blog, much uncertainty continues to surround the impact of radioactive materials in marine ecosystems:
Either way, the discovery of any level of radioactivity in whale meat, and the fact that the government has elected to release the contaminated meat into the marketplace, is hardly likely to inspire consumer confidence, or revive demand for a food that has been less and less attractive to the Japanese populace in recent years. Whale meat stockpiles in the country were reported to have reached a record 6,000 tonnes last year; this latest news seems unlikely to help reduce those those stockpiles any time soon.

The signs of bleeding in the digestive tract depend upon the site and severity of bleeding. If blood is coming from the rectum or the lower colon, bright red blood will coat or mix with the stool. The cause of bleeding may not be serious, but locating the source of bleeding is important. The digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine or colon, rectum, and anus. Bleeding can come from one or more of these areas, that is, from a small area such as an ulcer on the lining of the stomach or from a large surface such as an inflammation of the colon. Bleeding can sometimes occur without the person noticing it. This type of bleeding is called occult or hidden. Fortunately, simple tests can detect occult blood in the stool.
Symptoms such as changes in bowel habits, stool color (to black or red) and consistency, and the presence of pain or tenderness may tell the doctor which area of the GI tract is affected. Because the intake of iron, bismuth, or foods such as beets can give the stool the same appearance as bleeding from the digestive tract, a doctor must test the stool for blood before offering a diagnosis. * bright red blood coating the stool * dark blood mixed with the stool * black or tarry stool * bright red blood in vomit * coffee-grounds appearance of vomit
The site of the bleeding must be located. A complete history and physical examination are essential. A blood count will indicate whether the patient is anemic and also will give an idea of the extent of the bleeding and how chronic it may be.
Endoscopy is a common diagnostic technique that allows direct viewing of the bleeding site. Because the endoscope can detect lesions and confirm the presence or absence of bleeding, doctors often choose this method to diagnose patients with acute bleeding. In many cases, the doctor can use the endoscope to treat the cause of bleeding as well. The endoscope is a flexible instrument that can be inserted through the mouth or rectum. The instrument allows the doctor to see into the esophagus, stomach, duodenum (esophago-duodenoscopy), colon (colonoscopy), and rectum (sigmoidoscopy); to collect small samples of tissue (biopsies); to take photographs; and to stop the bleeding. Small bowel endoscopy, or enteroscopy, is a procedure using a long endoscope. This endoscope may be used to localize unidentified sources of bleeding in the small intestine.
Several other methods are available to locate the source of bleeding. Barium x rays, in general, are less accurate than endoscopy in locating bleeding sites. Some drawbacks of barium x rays are that they may interfere with other diagnostic techniques if used for detecting acute bleeding, they expose the patient to x rays, and they do not offer the capabilities of biopsy or treatment. Another type of x ray is CT scan.Angiography is a technique that uses dye to highlight blood vessels. This procedure is most useful in situations when the patient is acutely bleeding such that dye leaks out of the blood vessel and identifies the site of bleeding. In selected situations, angiography allows injection of medicine into arteries that may stop the bleeding.
Endoscopy is the primary diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for most causes of GI bleeding. Active bleeding from the upper GI tract can often be controlled by injecting chemicals directly into a bleeding site with a needle introduced through the endoscope. A physician can also cauterize, or heat treat, a bleeding site and surrounding tissue with a heater probe or electrocoagulation device passed through the endoscope. Laser therapy is useful in certain specialized situations.
At Hopkins Children's, gastrointestinal bleeding (or blood in the stool) is treated by the division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition.

Influenza Pandemic:
Opportunities Exist to Clarify Federal Leadership Roles and Improve Pandemic Planning
GAO-07-1257T: Published: Sep 26, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 26, 2007.

(202) 512-4800
An influenza pandemic is a real and significant potential threat facing the United States and the world. Pandemics are unlike other emergencies because they are not a singular event nor discretely bounded in space and time. This testimony addresses (1) federal leadership roles and responsibilities for preparing for and responding to a pandemic, (2) our assessment of the Strategy and Plan, and (3) opportunities to increase clarity of federal leadership roles and responsibilities and improve pandemic planning. GAO used its characteristics of an effective national strategy to assess the Strategy and Plan. The issues discussed in the testimony are based primarily on the GAO report, Influenza Pandemic: Further Efforts Are Needed to Ensure Clearer Federal Leadership Roles and an Effective National Strategy (GAO-07-781). In this report, GAO recommended that (1) The Secretaries of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services develop rigorous testing, training, and exercises for pandemic influenza to ensure that federal leadership roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, understood and work effectively and (2) HSC set a time frame to update the Plan, involve key stakeholders, and more fully address the characteristics of an effective national strategy. The Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services concurred. The HSC did not comment.
The administration has taken an active approach to this potential disaster by, among other things, issuing a National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza (Strategy) in November 2005, and a National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza Implementation Plan (Plan) in May 2006. However, much more needs to be done to ensure that the Strategy and Plan are viable and can be effectively implemented in the event of an influenza pandemic. Key federal leadership roles and responsibilities for preparing for and responding to a pandemic continue to evolve and will require further clarification and testing before the relationships of the many leadership positions are well understood. Most of these leadership roles involve shared responsibilities and it is unclear how they will work in practice. Because initial actions may help limit the spread of an influenza virus, the effective exercise of shared leadership roles and responsibilities could have substantial consequences. However, only one national, multi-sector pandemic-related exercise has been held, and that was prior to issuance of the Plan. The Strategy and Plan do not fully address the characteristics of an effective national strategy and contain gaps that could hinder the ability of key stakeholders to effectively execute their responsibilities. Specifically, some of the gaps include (1) The Strategy and Plan do not address resources, investments, and risk management and consequently do not provide a picture of priorities or how adjustments might be made in view of limited resources. (2) State and local jurisdictions were not directly involved in developing the Plan, even though they would be on the front lines in a pandemic. (3) Relationships and priorities among action items are not always clear. (4) Performance measures are focused on activities that are not always linked to results. (5) The linkage of the Strategy and Plan with other key plans is unclear. (6) The Plan does not contain a process for monitoring and reporting on progress. (7) The Plan does not describe an overall framework for accountability and oversight and does not clarify how responsible officials would share leadership responsibilities. (8) Procedures and time frames for updating and revising the Plan were not established. These gaps can affect the usefulness of these planning documents for those with key roles to play. Also, the lack of mechanisms for future updates or progress assessments limit opportunities for congressional decision makers and the public to assess the extent of progress being made or to consider what areas or actions may be need additional attention. Although the Homeland Security Council (HSC) publicly reported on the status of action items in December 2006 and July 2007, it is unclear when the next report will be issued or how much information will be released.

Chemical pregnancy or NOT?
My last period was May 13, I then took pregnancy test around first of June, I went to the doctor July 3 and my doctor told me I had a chemical pregnancy. Two weeks later I went back for update on July 16, 2012 and I had a sac the doctor said I was 5 weeks. I never started my period after the chemical pregnancy. I am due March 16 I saw my doctors partner and he thinks I never miscarried. It is really bothering me? What should I do? Is there anyway I can find out accurately how far a long I am. Accordingly to my doctor I am 15 weeks I would be 19.

There are hundreds and thousands of food blogs available, but how do you know if you stumbled across a good one worth trying recipes or not. Below is a list of the best vegan food blogs with tried and tested recipes. Even if you are not vegan (maybe you partake in a Meatless Monday every once in a while), these blogs are worth checking out and trying a recipe or two.
Allyson Kramer is a vegan in my world - I also went vegan by choice but after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease found I had to go gluten-free for health. There are not a lot of resources for gluten-free vegans but Allyson's manifest vegan is filled with decadent recipes that are all vegan and gluten-free and delicious.
The Post Punk Kitchen is my all time favorite vegan food blog. Written and created by Isa Chandra Moskowitz in 2003. She started filming vegan cooking shows and threw in some bands as well. Not only are their recipes, but there is a forum and other resources available.
Isa also has authored some of my favorite vegan cookbooks including Veganomicon and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.
If you are to pick just one recipe to try, a favorite that I have made for many eaters (omnivores and vegans) is Isa's chickpea cutlets.
Another great raw vegan recipe blog, but not just recipes is Raw Foods on a Budget. Brandi Rollins provides recipes and resources for anyone wanting to eat more raw food. She has a book, has recorded web episodes with tips and tricks, and hosts webinars as well/ She has devoted her website to helping people enjoy raw food on a tight budget - she is determined to show that anyone can eat raw and that it does not have to cost much.
Oh She Glows is a healthy vegan recipe blog that contains beautiful photos of the food, wonderful recipes as well as that author Angela Liddon's musings on body image. She also chronicles her own history of her eating disorder and how she has overcome it.
Many people have challenges packing vegan food or making kid-friendly vegan food. Jennifer McCann has tackled both in the blog as well as the book Vegan Lunch Box. Not only does she include pictres of the food, but also how she packs it which is sometimes the tougher task when fixing portable meals.
Deceptively titled Fat Free Vegan Kitchen, not all the recipes are fat free but mostly follow the approach to avoid added processed fats like oil or margarine. The author, Susan Voisin, writes recipes made with whole foods and without added oil. She includes links and categories to all her recipes, plus resources and a shop with great tools to stock in any home kitchen. Links to her recipes can be found at the Facebook pages for Forks Over Knives and Engine 2 Diet.
Vegan Yum Yum is written and photographed by Lauren Ulm. Her blog won her a cookbook contract, but even if you don't pick up the book, she has an archive with hundreds of recipes plus a quick link to favorites. Love her chickpea mash!
Dr. John McDougall and his wife have created a recipe archive and website with so much information about the healthful reasons to go vegan - everything from how asparagus can help arthritis to why starch is not the enemy. Dr. McDougall has written several books as well has packaged foods to help make staying vegan convenient and healthy.
A great predominately raw vegan recipe blog is Golubka. The author is Russian, and Golubka means "dove" in Russian, the author's native language. I appreciate the sections that the recipes fall into so you can search based on breads, or cooked items, or breakfast or even child-friendly recipes.
Would Rather Gather is another vegan mom recipe blog. After taking cooking classes and learning based on experimentation, she ahs written some great vegan recipes. She includes mostly recipes with some story of how she was inspired, also includes things about how to transition to vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

text: Grapefruit Mint Cocktail Posted on 2012/03/09 by curiousgeorge It is Friday and sunny and 80 degrees just like last weekend. I would rather be outside than working, but since I am in here I thought I would share what I made last weekend with you. I took the fresh juice that you saw {here} and added a little something extra. Turns out a cocktail made with fresh pressed juice is the best thing ever. This was light and refreshing and perfect for a day like today. Ingredients 1 ruby red grapefruit 20 mint leaves 3 oz of gin, or to taste Directions Start by juicing the grpefruit and mint. I used my Breveille Juicer and find it is best for getting the maximum amout of juice of any fruit or vegetable I use. Add Gin to taste and enjoy! You could also use vodka if you want to have an updated version of the classic Greyhound, but I found Gin to be the most refreshing cocktail. Share on Tumblr

Chicago Tribune (IL) - Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Author: Associated Press
Chicago Transit Authority officials say tens of thousands of fare cards bought four years ago will expire this year and free replacements are available.
That includes nearly 60,000 Chicago Cards and more than 28,000 Chicago Card Plus cards. Some will expire as soon as next month.
Customers who have registered their cards will be notified online. But those who haven't should check in person, phone or online.
Officials say if cards aren't replaced, customers could lose the remaining balance on their card.
