While standard protocols have been established for the treatment of virtually all cancers, doctors will often modify them for their individual patients. These modifications are based on many factors including the patient's age, general health, desired results, and the specific characteristics of his cancer.
At present there is no cure for multiple myeloma. Treatment aims to keep symptoms under control for as long as possible. If you are not having symptoms, the doctor will probably recommend holding off with treatment. Studies show no increase in survival rates with early treatment. Therapy typically begins when the disease progresses to the point that complications, such as fractures , are likely or you experience symptoms that decrease your ability to function or to enjoy life.
The main treatment option is chemotherapy. This is an appropriate treatment because multiple myeloma is a systemic disease, meaning that it affects the entire body. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment.
Doctors often recommend bone marrow transplantation for patients younger than age 65 and who meet other criteria for this treatment. Although transplants seem to increase survival for some patients, these treatments do not cure myeloma, and they have had limited success.
Treatment also focuses on managing complications. The links below cover each option:ChemotherapyRadiation therapyOther treatmentsTreatment for complicationsLifestyle changes
Existing treatment protocols have been established and continue to be modified through clinical trials. These research studies are essential to determine whether or not new treatments are both safe and effective. Since highly effective treatments for many cancers remain unknown, numerous clinical trials are always underway around the world. You may wish to ask your doctor if you should consider participating in a clinical trial. You can find out about clinical trials at the US National Institutes of Health website.

Seamless Shapers
When you're choosing a seamless body shaper, you want to show off your curves, not the garment that is helping to create them. While we all love shapewear, we typically want people to see its effects and not the actual shaper itself. Perhaps you have an outfit with delicate or very sheer fabric and you're concerned that your shapewear will be visible underneath it. The science of shapewear has advanced significantly since the days of the heavy seamed girdles our mothers and grandmothers wore. Today's body shapers are much more likely to be seamless. The elimination of seams from the body and sides of a garment can make it virtually invisible under any item of clothing. The next step is to choose the right design for your needs. Once you have done that your beautiful curves will be all that anyone notices.
Fortunately we have a huge selection of seamless shapers, so that no matter what style of dress you prefer or what special occasion you need to prepare for, you can be sleek and smooth. One of our most popular seamless shapers is the Compression Panty Shaper by Squeem. This underbust style garment gives excellent control and won't show through. But don't worry, if you prefer a thong back, the Compression Thong Shaper gives the same maximum control with the style you love. Fans of rear-enhancing garments will love the seamless shaping and lifting bands of the Alexandra. It's open bottom style creates curves naturally. And for wear-it-your-way, strong control shaping, the Convertible Panty Shaper by Vedette or Convertible Thong Shaper by Vedette are essential seamless tools.

I started offering Lauren sippy cups around six or seven months old, hoping to create a long process of switching from bottles to sippy cups instead of cutting her off cold turkey. As her first birthday approached, it seemed success with the "sippies" was coming just one drop at a time. As with so many other concerns I have asked my mom about since Lauren was born, she told me to relax, that Lauren would get there in her own good time. As usual, my mom was right, and Lauren quickly started accepting her milk in her sippies as the final days to her birthday approached. We switched from bottles to cups one meal at a time. We're all sippy now at just about 13 months, with the exception of her bottle at bedtime. Chris and I just discussed the other day that she's probably ready for a sippy cup at bedtime now, but we decided to allow Lauren to have the nice warm milk from a bottle for now. It's been part of her bedtime ritual for many months.
I should make clear that doctors and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies stop using bottles by age one. The main reason for that has always been the child's teeth.
A new study out today offers another reason for me to give the bottle the boot, yes, even at bedtime. Kids who are drinking from a bottle at age two are more likely to obese when they are five years old than kids who gave up bottles. The research was done at Temple University in Pennsylvania, was published in the Journal of Pediatrics and was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The researchers looked at data of 6,750 children from a federal survey. They determined and found that 22% of the children were prolonged bottle users, meaning they still used a bottle at age two as their main drink container, and/or went to bed with a bottle with a calorie-containing beverage, such as milk. Of the 22% of long-term bottle drinkers, about 23% of them were obese by age 5.
We've given Lauren a bottle to take with her into her crib (I figure we'll have enough fun of breaking the habit of her beloved pacifier one day), but drinking a bottle is part of her bedtime routine. Now that she has teeth (eight so far), we have to brush after the bottle instead of after her bath.
We'll have to switch Lauren from a bottle of milk to a sippy of milk. The eventual plan is to switch her to water, making sure she gets the calories she needs for the day by the time dinner wraps up.
I should probably go ahead and switch Lauren to the sippy at bedtime. I have found increasingly, over the last month especially, that Lauren goes with the flow of changes we present her with much more easily than I expect. Perhaps it's me who wants to keep giving "my baby" a bottle at bedtime. I know this won't be the last time that I cling to the idea of Lauren as just a baby when she's growing up so fast.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Since 1995, teams that start the NFL season 0-3 have a five percent chance of making the playoffs. So you can make the argument Sunday is a must win for Washington. Keep it here for live updates.
First Quarter
The Lions moved the ball a tad, thanks to a 23-yard catch by Calvin Johnson, but Washington's defense came out applying the pressure. London Fletcher registered a sack, Ryan Kerrigan is all over the field and Detroit punted the ball out of the end zone.
The Redskins moved the chains three times on their first possession, but ended up punting. There were good signs though. Griffin was more mobile on a boot leg pass and a 6-yard scramble. Pierre Garcon took a reverse for 11-yards. The creativity is showing.
Then DeAngelo Hall made the most surprising play of the day, intercepting Matthew Stafford and taking it back 17-yards for the touchdown. It's Hall's second touchdown of the season. Redskins lead 7-0.
Stafford and the Lions responded in large part to backup running back Joique Bell. He added a 37-yard catch and a 12-yard touchdown run to even the score at seven. The Redskins defense does not look much improved from a poor first two weeks.
Second Quarter
The Redskins defense has proven they can't stop any offense -- unless they force a turnover. The Lions marched down the field capping of a 10 play, 92 yard drive. Joseph Fauria caught a third down touchdown making it 14-7.
The Redskins responded, or almost. After going 5-for-5 on the drive, Griffin threw an ill-advised interception to Chris Houston, killing a productive drive.
With Griffin still struggling to be consistent, it's time to ride running back Alfred Morris. The second year pro scored on a 30-yard burst down the sideline and is averaging 8.1 yards per carry. Redskins and Lions are tied at 14. Detroit would add a late field goal to take a 17-14 lead into the half.
Third Quarter
Griffin started the half with a 25-yard strike to Pierre Garcon, but the Redskins offense would stall. John Potter adds a 43-yard field goal (the first successful one of his career) and the Redskins have tied the game at 17.
Fourth Quarter
Shades of the old Robert Griffin III. The quarterback scrambled for 30-yards down the field, only to fumble the ball while trying to slide. The game is still tied at 17, but even with the turnover, the Redskins still have momentum.
The Lions lead 20-17 and the Redskins have blown another chance. A gorgeous 57-yard touchdown pass from Griffin III to Aldrick Robinson, but it was called back because the ball touched the ground. The Redskins would eventually punt. Momentum has shifted to Detroit.
Calvin Johnson scores a late touchdown, giving the Lions a 27-17. The Redskins have lost 27-20.
We will have full coverage tonight on Game On Overtime after the Emmy's and our blogger Kevin Jones will have some analysis on the loss Monday morning.

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
Though the odds are stacked against them, a number of reality show couples are still going strong. Seeing as everyone likes to point out the reality TV stars who
haven't made it work, we'd like to feature five couples who are still
together (knock on wood) after broadcasting their relationships for all
the world to see.
First up, over six years later and two kids in, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick seem to be the only couple featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians whose relationship isn't on the rocks (Kimye excluded).

CLEVELAND (AP) — After a Cleveland judge ordered a woman to stand in public with a sign labeling herself an "idiot" for driving on the sidewalk to pass a school bus, city officials want to stiffen the penalties for such stunts.
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/XYDcRJ ) reports that a city councilman on Monday introduced an ordinance that would upgrade failure to stop for school buses to a first-degree misdemeanor — punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine and a license suspension.
It's currently a minor misdemeanor, punishable by a $500 fine.
A municipal judge made national headlines when he ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to stand in public with a poster that read: "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."

Yes! Although I am currently not working in L&D, I maintain my Certified Childbirth Educator status and I am a neonatal nurse at this point in time. I still attend deliveries, but I am there for the infant. However, as we all know, the desire to have a more natural birth experience doesn't end with stage 3 of labor! In my job, I fight for moms to be encouraged to room in, for skin-to-skin contact, for EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding in the absence of medical need for supplementation, etc. I think whether we are working in L&D or Neonatal, those of us who are for natural birth experiences are oftentimes at odds with our peers at work. When I give report and I am excited that a preterm infant is breastfeeding well, I get the rolling of eyes at times, especially from old school nurses. My mother, sister, aunt, and myself are all OB nurses who fight to get nurses to stop doing what's easiest for them and do what's right for the couplet. From encouraging epidurals to encouraging moms to send their babies to the nursery at night to be fed in, we are constantly at odds with certain nurses and some of their practices. I would love to share ideas and encouragement with another RN. I do think that we are in a slightly different spot than the average lay person; because of our education and jobs we can't simply "pick a side". Does that make sense? It isn't such a polar issue that we can absolutely identify with one "side" or the other. We are in an interesting middle ground. There are times that we have to intervene, but we certainly try to avoid it if at all possible. I have had nurses roll their eyes at me for avoiding intervention, and I have had families critisize my practice when intervention is needed for the safety of mom/baby. As I said, we are in an interesting position. Let me know what you think. Where do you practice at?
Hey! Oh my goodness NO! Please tell me they aren't using deep sxn and O2 on most babies! I am (an NRP instructor by the way) such an advocate of NOT deep suctioning most kids. If you give them some time they typically clear all that on their own. People expect these kids to sound clear at 2 minutes of age which is such a ridiculous expectation. We see such an issue with these kids that are deep suctioned then having feeding issues in the next 24-48 hours. They are gaggy and don't want to feed because of the irritation and edema. In terms of the O2, there just isn't any reason to do it. If you give them that first 30-60 seconds when you are drying and stimulating anyway, there typically doesn't end up being a need for blowby anyway. It is so hard to make people change. I think that if the same people who over intervene on these kids were responsible for them over the next 24-48 hours to see the effects of their actions they might reconsider. Sounds like my hospital is similar in size to yours. We have done as many as 13 deliveries in an 8 hour shift...too many! Do your L&D RNs do your resuscitations or your NICU RNs?
Hey Rachel. I think skin-to-skin is great. I don't think you can refute all the studies that show its benefits. The fact that a stabilization in HR and RR is often noted is so cool. Although I don't think we are going to see the famous "crawl" to the breast every time we put a baby skin-to-skin to encourage nursing, I certainly believe that it helps. I often times use it when I help a mom nurses, especially with preterm kids or really sleepy kids. I think it should absolutely be done immediately after delivery. There just isn't any reason not to. Is it your policy to ensure that baby goes to breast within one hour? We also don't separate moms/infants who are vag deliveries. C/S babies go to the nursery for a brief exam only, and Dad usually goes with them, then they are never taken again. I was shocked when someone said that their hospital takes babies into the nursery for up to 2 hours each day. What? Why?! Peds. should do exams in rooms so they can speak with parents anyway. I would love to know some of your practices.

Crunchy Peanut Butter & Chocolate Zucchini Brownies (Gluten Free)
From the kitchen of Nicki Schroeder
Recipes For a Joy-Filled Life
• 1 cup organic peanut butter (No sugar added, just pure peanut butter. Don't use creamy, it will make them runny.)
• 1.5 cups zucchini. Which equals one small zucchini thinly sliced and diced. Use a potato peeler to take off the skin, then set your mandolin slicer at its thinnest setting. Once shredded, dice the zucchini "pillow" pile into tiny pieces.
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. of vanilla
• 1 tsp. of baking soda
• 1 tsp. of cinnamon
• 1 tsp. of nutmeg
• 1.5 cups chocolate chips
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Combine all ingredients and mix together with beaters
• Pour into 8x8 baking pan (greased)
• Bake for about 45 minutes
IMPORTANT note from Nicki: The brownies are a bit squishy when they first come out of the oven, so let them sit overnight to "cool" and dry out a bit before you eat them. They are amazing brownies; you can't even tell they have zucchini in them! Plus, they're gluten free, which is perfect for our family! Makes an 8x8 pan of chocolate peanut butter goodness.

For a behind-the-scenes look at GigaCrete's innovative mixing technology, see "How It's Made" Visit www.gigacrete.com for product details, specifications, MSDS sheets, and more.
Changes in LEED Certification Program:Find out about new levels of LEED certification at Hanley Wood's Residential Architect Web site.
One of the country's newest and greenest lines of cement-based products actually originated in a Caribbean retirement home.
Andrew Dennis, an architect and industrial designer, was charged with designing a non-toxic, fireproof, and hurricane-resistant facility. It had to have a high percentage of recycled content and low embodied energy. And the components had to fit in shipping containers and be assembled quickly onsite by unskilled laborers.
Thus evolved the idea for GigaCrete Inc., Dennis' green building materials company in Las Vegas. After 30 years of designing products and buildings including hotels and casinos, he is seeking a new legacy: advancing green technology in the construction industry.
GigaCrete launched its first cement-based finishing product last year. All of the company's products for commercial and residential use include non-silica-based sands and byproducts of coal combustion, fly ash and bottom ash, and recycled glass that usually end up in landfills. The products are comprised of one part GigaCrete cement binder and up to four parts filler (or 20% binder and 80% filler), which can be sand of different grain sizes or ash of various grades.
The recycled materials are mixed with GigaCrete's mineral cement formulation, which requires less water and yields less carbon dioxide in production than portland cement. These materials are lighter and easier to handle than conventional cement-based materials.
GigaCrete's products include interior plaster coating, a stamped concrete overlay, and two products specifically formulated for insulating concrete forms (ICFs). The products are pre-blended, so contractors only add potable water at the jobsite. The ICF coatings add to the green benefits of energy efficiency and durability already provided by ICFs
"With PlasterMax-ICF, we are bringing back the ancient art of plastering, but with new, green technology," says Dennis. PlasterMax-ICF is a one- or two-coat interior plaster system that offers a greener alternative to gypsum board. It's applied directly over the ICF foam, reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and contains 35% recycled content–all without the carcinogens found in gypsum board.
PlasterMax-ICF Base Coat Interior Veneer Plaster is mixed and applied with conventional plaster tools and techniques. It is designed for use with Giga-Crete's PlasterMax-ICF Finish Coat Plaster or alone as a fire barrier.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Jonathan Bernier stopped 12 of the 13 shots
he faced, and the Los Angeles Kings held off the Columbus Blue Jackets, 2-1,
at Staples Center.
Kyle Clifford and Mike Richards netted the goals for the Kings, who have put
together back-to-back wins for the second time this season.
The Blue Jackets, who lost for the sixth time in eight contests, played their
first game since making a major move in the front office. Earlier this week,
the team fired general manager Scott Howson and named Jarmo Kekalainen as his
Nick Foligno scored with 2:25 left in regulation. Sergei Bobrovsky made 20
saves in defeat.
Clifford poked the puck free from Columbus defenseman Nikita Nikitin along the
left boards in the neutral zone. Clifford darted up the ice with a 2-on-1
break with teammate Trevor Lewis, but wristed the puck from the left circle
above Bobrovsky's pad and below his glove with 1:20 left in the second period.
The defending Stanley Cup champions doubled their edge thanks to a 2-man
advantage tally 1:34 into the third period. With Jared Boll (roughing) and
Fedor Tyutin (holding) in the penalty box, Anze Kopitar raced up the ice with
the puck before dishing to Richards. Richards tried a centering feed from the
left circle, but the puck deflected off the right skate of Nikitin, into the
air and past Bobrovsky. It was Richards' 400th career point.
Boll went off for boarding with under five minutes remaining, but Los Angeles
couldn't capitalize on the ensuing power play.
The Blue Jackets caught a break late in the third when Jack Johnson's pass
from the left side of the net found its way into the crease. Foligno was in
position to get the disc by Bernier, who faced five shots in the final period.
Columbus pulled Bobrovsky for the extra attacker in the final minute and put
pressure on the Kings, but most of the shots were deflected away, including
two from Nikitin in the waning seconds.
Game Notes
Blue Jackets center Artem Anisimov left the game with a lower body injury ...
Prior to the game, Columbus activated veteran defenseman Adrian Aucoin from
injured reserve ... The Kings are 90-1-10 in their last 101 games when leading
after two periods (since April 4, 2009).

I found an interesting quote in former Republican senator Alan Simpson's following remark in commenting budget cuts plans proposed by Obama administration. That is 'a sparrow's belch in the midst of a typhoon.' Is this a well-used saying? We have counterpart expressions to this in our country such as 'just a drop of piss in the ocean', 'wash a grain of sesame (or a burdock – I don't know why it's burdock) in the Pacific.' Do you have any other tart expressions to compare a small thing with a big thing or unimportant matter with important matter?
"Former Wyoming Republican senator Alan Simpson weighed in on the country's fiscal situation, saying that anyone calling for budget cuts that did not include Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and Defense were 'issuing a sparrow's belch in the midst of a typhoon.'"

Testimony :: Dr. Ivo Banac
Bradford Durfee Professor of History - Yale University
Mr. Chairman and Distinguished Members of the Commission:
In your kind invitation you expressed an interest in my views on the overall trends in the countries of the Western Balkans as well as the Balkan region as a whole, and the potential impact the United States, the European Union and other international actors could have in shaping these trends. Bearing in mind my past and present engagement in both the governmental and the nongovernmental sectors in Croatia, you also welcomed any thoughts that I may have on the issues relating to democratic development, the rule of law and human rights that might be relevant to U.S. policy.
The main reason for the instability of the Balkan region has been the inability of the national elites to define and find common ground for an internally-generated process of regional stabilization. That means that the task of providing the framework for stability, as well as its enforcement, over the years has fallen into the hands of the international actors. In this respect, the American leadership has been particularly effective and helpful, even when some of the projects, which the past administrations have favored (Dayton Peace Accords, Kosovo independence framework), manifested serious flaws. I do not think that it is excessive to say that the "Europeanization" of the Western alliance's policy toward the Western Balkans cannot be sustained without the guidance of the United States. European policy on occasion has been contradictory and unnecessarily compromising, thereby providing opportunities to various local troublemakers and their international backers.
The current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) is an illustrative example. The supposedly "reformist" Bosnian Serb leadership of Milorad Dodik has exploited the neglect of the international community and the flaws in the Dayton framework to carve out a semi-independent political entity (Republika Srpska, RS) that is currently using false analogies with the independence of Kosovo to argue for RS's full secession. Mr. Dodik would be dangerous enough were he acting entirely on his own. But he is not. He has solid support in various Serbian circles (official and unofficial) and he has found solid backing in Russia, whose state companies have bought much of the energy installations in RS.
Mr. Dodik plays on the Western fears of Muslim terrorism in order to dismiss any effort toward a workable constitutional reform in BH. He has managed to attract a modicum of a Bosnian Croat following by giving support for the Croat "third entity" in BH, separate from the Bosniak-Croat Federation. His systematic destabilization of BH, which apparently includes the arming of his police force, goes hand in glove with his intensely provocative ethnic vitriol, a practice in which he has many imitators in other ethnic elites, but hardly any equals. It is clear that a new US initiative, with the aim of developing a new workable constitution for a reintegrated BH, without ethnic entities or cantons, would be a welcome development in this highly combustible case. The New York Times (Feb. 27) recently cited a Bosnia specialist's opinion that "if the Serb republic declared independence, neighboring Croatia would respond by sending in troops, and Bosnian Muslims would take up arms." That is not an overstatement. Tensions in BH have reached a new critical stage, when it is indeed possible to imagine new armed conflict. This is a highly frustrated, depressed, and structurally ungovernable country. BH is currently by far the most dangerous corner of the Western Balkans.
The situation in Kosovo is more controlled, but has significant potential for new entanglements. The Ahtisaari Plan is an article of the Kosovo constitution, meaning that all of its recommendations have been adopted, with the exception of its most important part – the integration of Serbs, who refuse any cooperation with the Kosovo authorities. This situation, too, is taken for granted by the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX), which assists the Kosovo authorities in matters concerning police, judiciary, and customs. The EULEX has been deployed throughout Kosovo, most recently in the Serb enclave north of Mitrovica, but its effects are modest. The EULEX implements only the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) laws in the Serb enclaves, not the Kosovo laws (the EULEX chief of mission Yves de Kermabon recently agreed with Serbia's President Boris Tadic that the law applied in southern Serb enclaves in Kosovo will be Serbian law). At the same time the EULEX cannot prevent Serbia from boycotting the Kosovo customs stamps.
The fact is that Serbia not only continues obstructing the recognition of Kosovo (Tadic's recent lobbying against Spain's recognition in Madrid is a case in point), but maintains parallel structures in parts of this nominally independent state. Though most segments of the Kosovar political elite seem to accept this state of things, there is widespread discontent and disaffection with the policies of the international community among the broad segments of society (Albin Kurti's Vetëvendosje). Not coincidentally, the oppositionists are the most consistent critics of corruption and hold the current situation directly responsible for the ongoing legal chaos and potential violence down the road.
Following the elections of May 2008 Serbia has made some progress, but not as much as could have been accomplished had the international pressure been maintained. The arrest and extradition of Radovan Karadžic is a clear demonstration that Belgrade can be responsive. Hence, it makes no sense to lessen the pressure in recognition of partial compliance. International diplomacy, in general, has tended to reward Serbia for minimal concessions. That is why Serbia's full cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) must not be compromised, especially in the outstanding case of Ratko Mladic. The US government ought to reverse the stand on limiting the mandate of the ICTY and, very important, take a decisive step in favor of strengthening the international justice system by supporting the International Criminal Court (ICC) through congressional ratification of the Rome Statute.
Although one could cite various examples of violations of human rights and the rule of law in Albania, Croatia, Macedonia, and Montenegro, the current situation in these countries is not as alarming as the cited sources of instability in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Serbia, in that order. The optimum solution for all these problems is in the EU and NATO expansion. The European security system will receive its final touches only when all the countries of the Western Balkans have become full members of the EU and NATO. The various Balkan "national questions" would be significantly mitigated if all the ethnic communities were incorporated within a single system of relatively symbolic borders, where the current restrictions to the free flow of labor and goods would be lifted. Unfortunately, this optimal solution is currently being stalled due to a number of obstacles:
(1) The EU expansion is in trouble as a result of the world economic crisis, obstacles to the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon after the Irish referendum (June 2008), and lack of political leadership in a number of EU countries.
(2) Rogue policies of two EU countries (Slovenia and Greece) created serious problems to the Croatian EU accession and the Macedonian NATO accession. The fact that all EU countries have not recognized Kosovo is evidence that the urgency of Balkan stabilization is not grasped in some capitals.
(3) Euroskepticism has gathered strength in some countries (Croatia), where inconsistent policies of the European Commission (e.g., the refusal of Javier Solana to comply to the ICTY subpoena at the request of the Ante Gotovina defense) have been interpreted as contrary to the EU principles. (The Croatian Helsinki Committee released a statement on this issue this morning.)
(4) Russia's political and economic offensive in Southeastern Europe – the only European area where Russia can hope to assert its great power ambitions – has operated against Western associations, even in those countries that are already in the EU and NATO. (Russia is a very serious player in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Serbia, and increasingly in Croatia and Hungary.) In addition, European oil and gas dependency on Russia has prevented a more critical response to Russian initiatives in Southeastern Europe.
In a sense, precisely when EU input is more necessary than ever, obstacles generated by a number of EU countries are derailing the stabilization of the Western Balkans. This is a case for renewed American engagement and leadership.
I would recommend the following:
(1) The United States should not ignore the Balkan area simply because a number of other problems are more pressing. A new American diplomatic initiative is necessary for the stabilization of the whole area, especially of the three critical countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Serbia.
(2) Bosnian situation should have priority. The US government should complete the Dayton process by developing a new plan for the reintegration of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but not with an ethnic yardstick. It makes no difference whether Bosnia is effectively partitioned into two, three, or twenty-three ethnic entities. Ethnic territorialization always operates against the unity of complex societies.
(3) The new administration should reaffirm commitment to the ICTY and the ICC.
(3) The US should exercise influence on the EU allies to promote and revitalize the EU and NATO expansion. Serious efforts should be taken against obstinacy of key allies (Greece) whose irresponsible policies (question of Macedonian state nomenclature) operate against the interests of the alliance. In a similar vein, every effort should be made to promote the recognition of Kosovo among the European holdouts.
(4) The civil sector should not be neglected, particularly in the current economic circumstances, but priority ought to be given to those NGOs that work with concrete cases, not the various reconciliation schemes that frequently operate in a political vacuum, nor should the OSCE operations be disbanded for purely fiscal reasons.
Finally, in answering the inevitable question of "why," my answer remains the same as during the 1990s. Had the international community pressed Slobodan Miloševic to stop his attack on Slovenia and Croatia in 1991, Bosnia never would have occurred. Had Dayton been used to address the issues of Kosovo, the 1999 NATO intervention probably would not have been necessary. Deferred problems always come back in much worse forms. The issues of the 1990s were stopped at some expense. That does not mean that they cannot be repeated in even more dramatic ways. Prevention should have primacy.

Losmandy's new high-speed motor

Posted 17 March 2013 - 08:55 PM
Posted 17 March 2013 - 10:56 PM
it's probably the gearbox. reducing the periodic error in the gearbox means using a fine-toothed gear set with very tight tolerances. that tends to make it noisy..
Posted 18 March 2013 - 09:37 AM
You think if I bought McClaren gearboxes the noise would go down? It's like using a power drill.

If you pack the gear boxes full of Lube, the noise is radically reduced.

Only for a while till the lube redistributes evenly. After that the noise will come back. Honestly I think the only long term solution is to reduce slew speed. Maybe a thin layer of rubber under the gearbox to dampen the vibrations, but I haven't tried that one.

Honestly, I only got one because they don't see the normal motors anymore and I fried my RA motor not being careful with my safety limits. I agree there really isn't a 'point'. The only thing I thought after putting it on is that it probably works 'better' than the original motor would with a heavier load? So if/when I get a C14 for this mount, maybe it won't strain as much.
I think, later, I'll replace the gear boxes as suggested above. But for right now, it seems like the gear boxes are holding up find.
Honestly, if I could've bought an old one, I would've! 225 bucks is alot of money!
Posted 23 March 2013 - 08:53 AM
I took each gearbox apart then cleaned and coated the teeth of each gear and axles with tripleguard, its
blue grease. Its very thick and made for the gearbox of outboard motors. I use it on everything in my mount. But I live where it gets hot in south Texas and regular grease melts. This does not.
This makes my mount very very quiet. This grease stays on the gears even after alot of use. I open it up and theres still grease on the teeth. I would only recomend it on the gearbox and maybe the worm gears but not on the bearings if you live in cold climates.
I mix triple guard and super lube for my bearings otherwise theres a little stiction when trying to balance my mount.
I have been using this on all my mounts for years.
Posted 23 March 2013 - 03:00 PM
I think McLaren gearboxes are dog boxes, meaning straight-cut teeth, meaning LOTS of noise. But you won't hear it over the noise from the manifold pressure.
You think if I bought McClaren gearboxes the noise would go down? It's like using a power drill.
Oh, this is an astronomy forum. I'm guessing that in order to cut down on PE the gear teeth need maximum contact area, which means straight-cut gears. Which means noise.
Posted 23 March 2013 - 06:50 PM
Neilson, interesting idea. Maybe I'll try it when I get them. Until then I'll just wake my neighbors up .

Posted 24 March 2013 - 12:26 AM
Besides trimming the driveshaft to match my current gearboxes, is there anything missing from the tutorial on how to replace them?
I agree completely. I test my safety limit each time now just to make sure, and I've loosened my clutches as much as I can without getting slippage.
Posted 24 March 2013 - 04:53 PM
Posted 24 March 2013 - 10:52 PM
That's right, you're running the SiTech. Honestly, they're plug-n-play for the Gemini gearboxes minus shortening the driveshaft to make it match whatever your particular mount is cut for. I dunno what your mod entailed.
BTW, I love my MI-250. This mount is fantastic!

I just had a client who was trying for a VBAC. Her provider would not induce her and she never dilated or went into labor. This is the first experience I have had with this. She ended up going to 41.5 weeks and had to have a scheduled c-section. I was not allowed in the OR and they decided that they didn't need me there on the day of the procedure, which was fine with me. They had an 11lb. baby boy and everyone is fine.
This is my question -
I have provisions in my contract if they neglect to call me on the day of the birth or if I am unable to make it to the birth because of something in my life happening. I do not however have a provision for something like this situation. What do I do about giving them a refund? If I don't make it to the birth because they don't call me I refund them 40%. Should I just apply that situation here and do the same thing? Not sure what to do, any input is greatly appreciated!
Views: 32
Have they asked you for a refund? Or are you just wondering if you should refund them?
In my contract, I state that if they choose an elective cesarean section they need to let me know 2 weeks before the suregery and they will Recieve the final payment back (or not owe it). Otherwise, no refund. I'm on call for them and have possibly turned away other clients.
Since you mentioned other details...
This 'never went into labor' reason for a section.... she just didn't go into labor by that time. She still has a few days to be within the 42 week time period. Plus, an EDD is an estimation based on the assumption that all women ovulate on day 14. If her cycle has her ovulating later than day 14, she got pregnant later than that. And that sets dates differently. And did she really have to have a cesarean, or was it the result of a choice she made by going with a care provider that didn't fully support VBACs?
I know its not your question, but do you think this was more about them being concerned she could not birth an 11 lb. baby?
They had no idea that the baby was really that big, they haven't had an ultrasound since week 32, so that wasn't the deciding factor. The reason for the section was because her provider suggested it and they wouldn't induce so they just decided to go ahead with it. I don't have bad feelings about any of it, I am bummed out for her that she didn't get to have her VBAC but I am just trying to figure it out logistically. I guess i can talk to them in a couple weeks about it. I don't feel right keeping the entire payment since I didn't actually attend the birth. Yes, I was on call for a long time, 3.5 weeks, and I did turn away a few clients but it all worked out so I am just trying to figure out what to do.
Thank you for your input!
i think that the answers before mine are great. i wanted to add that there is a fantastic post on the Navelgazing Midwife's blog about doula-ing for cesareans, in case you want to read.
I am assuming that she was your client for a few months before the birth? You put your time, energy, efforts and knowledge into helping this woman. As far as how much to charge her, I have never personally had this happen (yet) but in my contract I state the following:
"Please note, that canceling my services prior to delivery or scheduling a c-section does not nullify this contract. If you choose not to have me attend your scheduled c-section, or your physician does not allow me to attend, you will not be refunded the deposit , however you will not be charged the remaining $300.00. If you have a c-section after receiving labor support, the remaining balance will be due."
Hope this helps a little.

I had mine done under warranty and I've seen the left side case open. Everything is right there. I can't imagine it's too bad. I can take a look in my factory manual tomorrow and see what the procedure is if you can wit a bit.Scott

If you are looking for "backcountry" what i see on Beaver traps website about their hunts doesnt really equal that. They use wall tents with generators and ATV's and Pick-ups for hunting. If that is fine for your group then no worries, but when i hear backcountry i usually think of a string of horses and mules. All depends on what you are looking for though. . As a guide I can tell you if i ever make enough to be a client instead what my line of questions for an outfitter would be from my experiences....
1. Success/Opportunity rate 2. Quality of bulls (example of all their hunters last year how many bulls went over 300) 3. How long have their guides been with the outfit (if you have an outfitter who doesnt have a single guide of long standing...there is usually a reason behind that). 4. Number of hunters in camp each hunt if booked full 5. Amount of pressure from other hunters in the area.
I guess those would be my most thought about questions to narrow down an outfitter. The outfit I work for doesnt have a single guide with less than 4 years for them, and that is me. The other 3 guides have been there 10-20 years respectively. For my hunting area, we are a backcountry outfitter whose camp is 18 miles from the trailhead via pack strings. We dont have to worry about the point system much because we are in a general tag area so many of our hunters can hunt with us every year if they put in for the special draw, or can easily get lucky and draw with 0 points in the general draw. That being said, for an area you are looking to hunt this question probably will not be as relevant, But the amount of Return clients an outfitter draws in really shows what kind of outfitter they are. We bring in roughly 85% return hunters every year if not more. Our first 3 hunts are usually booked with returns. Its a good thing and shows prospective hunters confidence in booking.
Years ago I worked for an outfit in Idaho for 2 years that had nearly all new clients each year..there was a reason. Hunting was tough, bulls werent big and the outfitter made a lot of big claims in his phone calls that a client could have noticed was false just be adhering to some of the above questions. I left that outfitter mainly for the reason of not being able to stand new people every year with false expectations. There are definitely great outfitters, and bad ones. Using some of those questions can hopefully help you get a good idea of the outfitter. I personally believe the amount of years their guides have been with them truly shows a lot about the outfitter. If you have any other questions Id be happy to try and help or answer. I do not know much about outfitters in those areas otherwise I would give you a reference if I had a good one. Good Luck.

Excited and nervous was what I felt leading up to the first of our Centennial Concert Series and the Centennial Market.
And it was exciting on Sunday, when the Patti Fiasco Band took the stage at Centennial Park and captivated the crowd with their rocking, soulful style of alternative country, demonstrating why they had the most played alt-country album in Colorado last year.
With conflicting events taking place, like Father's Day as well as Strawberry Days in Glenwood Springs, I expected a smaller showing. But our local community not only stopped by to enjoy the first of the concert series, families packed coolers, folding chairs, blankets and even a few dogs into the park to take in three hours of some of the best entertainment on the Western Slope.
Visitors kept the sidewalk hot, jaunting back and forth between the stage and Centennial Market, munching hot dogs, strolling, visiting and exploring the unique wares of local vendors.
Punctuating Centennial Market every week, visitors can find a classic car on display. On Sunday, Mike and Donna Dunlap, the owners of a dark purple, 1934 Chevy Sedan, enjoyed chatting with admirers who stopped by to learn more about the sleek classic.
Against a backdrop of kids splashing in the water park and friends and family kicking back on the grassy lawn, the night wrapped with a Patti Fiasco rendition of another classic from Johnny Cash.
This Sunday, a local band joins us: The Starletts. Some of Carbondale's finest female vocalists - Ananda Banc, Meagan Goodwin, Marilyn Lindquist, Nikki Miller and Shanti Gruber - will bring a cool blend of harmony, dance and soul to the stage, covering some of your favorite Motown, soul and contemporary hits.
The fun starts every Sunday at 4 p.m., the music sometime between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Come out and enjoy!
Blair Bracken is the special events coordinator for the Rifle Recreation Department.

Never been in that country. Look at Google Earth. Sheep/goat country is fairly easy to spot. Not a big fan of areas with lots of people. I would look for the trail heads that get you in 3-5 miles, and that get you into country that gives you a commanding view of the drainages. If there are a lot of bowls in the upper basins, look for ones that have knife rideges to break up the terrain. Gives the goats something to hide in, makes them feel comfortable. Don't just look for them on barren hill sides. Check areas with some timber, and the knife ridges.
Best adviceis get a comfortable butt pad, and sit down and glass. When you think you have done enough, do it all over again, and again. Good optics are a must, or at least the best you have access to. The Billies will still kinda be off on there own, or just out side the groups of the nannies, and kids.
When I get a chance I will down load some goat pics that I took on my NV deer hunt for some inspiration. Good luck and let me know how the hunt works out for ya.
Knowledge of the area is the best tool you can have. Put some Mole Skin on and wear some leather off the boots. For most that is a once in a lifetime tag.

|Girls come from behind for a season-opener win
|Written by Darci Tomky
HHS Lady Dragon varsity basketball welcomed their 2009 season with a busy weekend of competition Friday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 5. The team fought hard and came from behind for a win over Idalia in Friday's season opener, but could not come up with a win on their home court against Wray Saturday.
Holyoke 57, Idalia 51
Winning over Idalia 57-51, coach Arlan Scholl noted the varsity girls showed great poise and determination in the game Friday night.
Determination is certainly what was needed to come back in the second half after Idalia had a 13-point lead over the Dragons at halftime. "After being down in the first half, they fought back to bring home the victory against Idalia," said Scholl. "I was proud of the way the girls fought through to the victory."
He said Holyoke struggled a little with shooting, but continued to push the ball and attack the basket. The Dragons outscored Idalia 20-12 in the third quarter and 19-8 in the fourth.
Marissa Smith led Holyoke scoring with 27 points. She scored 22 points in the second half alone, including five three-point shots. Nora Roth earned the team 13 points.
Molly Fricke and Marci Vasa came away with eight rebounds.Smith had six steals in Friday's game, and Vasa totaled seven assists.
Holyoke shot 23 for 68 at 33.8 percent accuracy while Idalia made 23 out of 60 for 38.3 percent.
Holyoke 42, Wray 53
"We played very hard against the highly ranked and defending state champion team of Wray on Saturday," said Scholl. He said the Dragons kept the game close throughout, but missed some key shots down the stretch and could not come up with the win, losing 42-53.
HHS was only down by three points at halftime, but the Eagles outscored them 25-17 in the second half for the 11-point lead at the buzzer.
"The girls worked very hard and came very close to getting the win," said Scholl. He noted they will play Wray again later in the season for the district seeding game.
Leading the Dragon scoring was Smith with 17 points including three three-pointers, three two-point baskets and two for two from the line. Laura Gerk scored 15 points, including two three-point shots.
Wray's field goal percentage topped Holyoke at 23 for 66 at 34.8 percent while HHS shot 16 for 59 at 27.1 percent.
Vasa had six assists in competition against Wray, while Roth had 10 rebounds.
Upcoming action
HHS will take on Brush at home Friday, Dec. 11 with games scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. They will travel to Akron for 3:30 p.m. games Saturday, Dec. 12.


text: Just curious, is anyone here building points for bear or has hunted them in CO? If a guy was to go there, arent there some OTC units? I'm already applying for elk and deer, thought maybe I'd maybe start building points for bear too. What type of hunting is it and are there many bears there? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Okay, you hard-workin', weight-losin', endurance-gainin' hunting addicts, time for an update. Put your starting weight, current weight, net loss, and goals accomplished and keep pushing each other toward our goals. Here's mine (and it ain't pretty yet, but'll get better):
Start 232
Current 230
Net loss 2
I started off with a bang, losing 8 lbs. in 11 days. Unfortunately, I had two big roadtrips (not good), two colds (thanks daycare kids!), and fell off the wagon a bit. So, not happy with the first month, but hoping to be 220 by the end of April.
Let's hear your story.

i want to see monique's look for less,and yes i am a plus size lady:)
If you're still searching for a fashion icon you may want to settle on Barbabos beauty, Rihanna. This good girl gone bad has had some major style transformations throughout the years- she shed her lengthy locks for a cool mohawk-inspired 'do, routinely rocks neon-hued eyes, and prances around on stage in plenty of naughty leather. No matter what this singing sensation wears, we have noticed a trend: she looks perpetually fashion-forward. But, we guess this shouldn't come as a surprise- she has unlimited access to J Brand Jeans, Dolce & Gabanna , and Brian Atwood. Yet, resembling RiRi shouldn't feel like an exercise in S&M- that's why we put together this outfit. The look is cool, casual, and chic, but certainty not costly- it'll cost you around $105.collared open front coat 2. three ring cross necklace 3. studded love glamour top 4. chain trim animal print bracelet 5. belted cuff dress pants 6. pointed toe pump
What do you like about this look? What celebs do you want to see next?

MARTINS FERRY - Chrissy Lewis couldn't have scripted it any better.
Martins Ferry's cross country coach was hoping her teams would have a good showing at the school's inaugural invitational and they didn't disappoint.
Jamie Truchan's first-place finish propelled the Purple Riders to the girls' championship Saturday morning on the hilltop, outdistancing runner-up John Marshall, 44-60.
The Monarchs boys, however, were victorious, edging St. Clairsville, 57-63, behind Dylan McKeag's tape-breaking effort.
''We were happy with (Jamie) and the team as a whole running so well,'' Lewis said, noting it was a nice way to prepare for next week's Buckeye 8 Championships. ''It was very nice to have them both taste victory.
''It was a little unexpected for the girls, so it was nice to see them tough it out and win it.''
St. Clairsville was third in the girls' race with 62 points, followed by Union Local (66), Linsly (120) and Brooke (175).
After staging an OVCCL event during the week the last three years, Lewis decided it was time for Martins Ferry to upgrade to an invitational. After watching the initial event take place under sunny skies, she thought everything went well.
''We just had to add a few things like T-shirts and awards,'' Lewis said. ''We have a great group of parents that do a ton of work for us.''
Truchan, a junior, is certainly familiar with the hilltop layout. She tamed the course in 22:14, nearly half a minute faster than runner-up Megan Bateman of Union Local (22:45).
''I was in first by a good bit,'' Truchan said. ''The hills were kind of hard, but you just have to push through and try your best.''
It was Truchan's second straight week pacing the Riders. Last week, she placed eighth at the Claymont Early Bird.
St. Clairsville's Mikayla Westlake (23:14), Ferry's Lindsay Cunningham (23:21) and JM's Allison Duke (23:25) rounded out the top 5.
McKeag's victory was the third of his varsity career.
''Coming into the second mile a pack of St. Clairsville runners moved in and I let them pass me,'' he said. ''I made my move at the end when we came up that hill.''
A sophomore, McKeag didn't run in JM's opener last week at the Autumn Classic in St. Marys, where the team finished fourth.
''I knew we'd be better (Saturday) with Dylan and we showed it,'' JM coach Jim Hudson said.
Clay Thorn (9th, 19:02) and Michael Connor (10th, 19:19) also posted top-10 finishes for JM.
St. Clairsville's Alex Timko (18:01) and Kevin Simpson (18:12) finished 2-3, while Brooke's Antonio Pizzuti was fourth (18:12) and Ferry freshman Jacob Bishop was fifth (18:34).

The real question is what do you want to eat? American, Fried, Asain?
If you want something more sobering, feel free to visit this blog:

HP is really good, but it is a Friday...you'll have a wait unless you guys are eating late.
Hickory Park is excellent. If you're in Ames and you haven't been there, that's where you go.

I think we CAN beat them, but Im expecting another let down. I just think this team is another year away from being consistent.
Wrong Clones started this thread...
Will need to keep playing great D and hope we shoot MUCH better than we did last night. I'll say 75-71, ISU wins!
Last edited by chuckd4735; 01-25-2012 at 09:07 AM.
Not everyone wears gold like they should.
KU wins 78-77, on a last second shot by the tall, goofy, white guy
royce white misses atleast 1 free throw.
The outcome of this game depends entirely on the crowd.
But seriously this is the best chance in a while that we have a solid opportunity to beat KU. Coming off our worst performance in a conference game I expect CFH to have them playing well. ISU 79 - 74...please, please, please beat KU.
Something tells me that we come out firing on all cylinders this game. I believe CFH and the team REALLY want this game.
My prediction: Kansas gets the calls from the officials in the 1st half, they are in the 1 and 1 with 10 minutes left. In the 2nd half the crowd takes over and our long range game kicks in, 78-71 good guys.
cyclones upset kansas 58-54...
My prediction is that the refs finally realize that Thomas Robinson travels 80% of the time he touches it and isnt Michael Beasley so they can stop babying him. I think royce goes 3-18 from the line but that third one comes with no time left.
Clones 72
Withey won't get away with as many fouls this time around and has to sit for a while with foul trouble. I think we'll win by 5-6.
Kansas wears Adidas.
Clones by 10. Would be 20 but the refs have to screw us out of at the very least 10 points.
We can win this game and I think we do. 71-69 ISU. Don't let Taylor get hot.
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."

MA in Social Justice
MA in Social Justice Overview
Significant numbers of professionals, young adults, and activists are intensely interested in community service, social justice, and human rights advocacy; they often identify themselves as "change agents." Faith-based community service programs, service immersion trips, and social justice projects attract high-minded "change agents" of great generosity and courage who want to serve economically disadvantaged communities, underserved and underrepresented populations, and people whose human dignity is under assault by social arrangements and structures. The post-Vatican II emphasis on a Church that sees working for justice as constitutive of the Christian life and that proposes an "option for the poor" as a pastoral standard, has spawned a growing number of talented and educated young adults who want to integrate service, social justice, and advocacy into their life patterns and career choices. With Pope Francis I, this movement is gaining even more momentum.
This program is designed to serve these "change agents," offering them a solid grounding in spiritual and theological foundations for this work, information about the key social justice issues today, the skills and tools of assessment and analysis in addressing these issues, best-practice strategies for effective work in advocacy and community development, contextual education at sites where social justice work is exemplary, and the practical tools of successful leadership in addressing social justice issues.
Students in the program will:
- Develop an in-depth understanding of Catholic social teachings (and their basis in Catholic fundamental theology) and the foundational principles of liberation theology; introductory understanding of similar foundations in other denominations and religions;
- Develop theological reflection skills which bring personal, cultural, institutional contexts together with the Christian tradition;
- Attain in-depth information and analysis of current social justice issues: race, ethnicity, culture; poverty and its causes; immigration issues; issues and concerns around criminal justice, from policing to prisons; global politics and economics;
- Develop the skills of social assessment and analysis;
- Develop practical knowledge and skills: community organizing, community development, advocacy in public policy, recruiting and managing volunteers.

Sending wrong message to taggers
Re: "Officials sending message to taggers," Feb. 24: Unfortunately, the officials took the wrong direction. Tag the taggers and make them paint over the graffiti.
While we were living in Philadelphia in the 1980s, the officials did so. By locating the best and most creative taggers, they provided an option: Either/or, the taggers were placed in an intense art program.
No surprise. They thrived with a new outlook on life.

The missing link in gun control
Violent video games are bad influences. Violent arcade games with rifles are worse. But the closest "recreational" activity to actually firing guns with real bullets at people is paintball, and yet this pastime has not been mentioned at all by the legislative opponents of the Second Amendment in their arguments for gun control.
It is specifically designed to enhance hostilities and human aggressions by honing skills in stalking, ambushing, shooting and killing "the enemy" with automatic firing weapons, thus getting you ready for the real thing with real guns. It even promotes competitions for 14-year-olds and younger. It should be severely constrained, regulated, controlled or, better yet, completely outlawed before we jump on the gun control bandwagon.
How violent is it? Just go to any food establishment where the paintballers gather after their days outing and listen to their conversation about "shooting him in the head six times," "emptying my whole magazine into him," etc. I suggest that before guns are more heavily regulated paintball be legislatively controlled first.

More power for the people
Re: "Let's fix, restart San Onofre, if possible," Feb. 17: Wow, conservative folks believe in electricity? Where we get our electricity is a technical question, not a question for democracy.
Don't like living near San Onofre? Move. On any given day, we can have three-plus nuclear power stations located about a half mile to two miles from downtown San Diego (some people call them aircraft carriers/fast attack subs). This means Russia and China have about three nukes each dedicated to making San Diego ground zero in case of conflict (God love those intercontinental ballistic missiles).
Should we vote on the outside color of the new F-35 fighter? Probably not. I, for one, do not support pink fighter planes. We need g-o-v-e-r-n-m-e-n-t to ensure safe drinking water, safe food, safe power generation, effective fighter jet colors and safe condoms.
I need to get an appointment with a "shrink" to ensure agreeing with the editors of the U-T San Diego North County Times is not symptomatic of a complex mental problem....

Connect the dots between domestic and foreign policy
In his state of the union speech, President Obama mostly separated domestic and foreign policy, perhaps understandably, but let's connect some dots here.
The president mentioned the need to invest in our infrastructure, which is sorely needed, and also a terrific job creator and economic stimulator. Specifically, he noted there are 70,000 bridges needing repair. Let's get that done! Some will say there's no money for this, but of course there is, it's just misappropriated right now in our bloated Pentagon budget, which includes useless, exorbitant Cold War weapons systems, maintaining more than 1,000 foreign military bases (many in countries that can defend themselves), inane plans for nuclear weapons "modernization" and the $7 billion per month we continue to spend on a pointless war in Afghanistan, which the president says needs to continue for almost another two years, through the end of 2014.
Let's bring our troops and war dollars home now. Put that money, and maybe some of those troops, to work rebuilding our bridges, roads and schools and creating green energy technology. We need jobs and investment in community needs, not an endless war or bloated Pentagon budget.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 21The Craft Family
As a year-round coach for football, baseball and basketball, and a teacher of Health and Speech Class, Coach Todd Craft doesn't have the time or money to take care of his own home for his family, and he has one very special family.
The Crafts have four children: Samantha, 10, Sarah,7, and two year-old Isabella who was born with a serious brain malformation. When she was born, Isabella was not expected to live. Finally there is their 1 year-old miracle baby and the only son of the family, Todd Joseph.
Isabella requires round the clock care and, because of the constant attention she needs, Elizabeth must stay home and care for her. Todd's meager coaches income is all they have to support their extraordinary family.
In this episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the design team travels to the small town of Hondo, Texas to score a big touchdown for one very deserving coach and his family.
In both the kitchen and the great room, KraftMaid's veneer recessed style cabinets were installed in the deep brown Cognac finish, completed with Pewter Bail pulls and Antiquity glass inserts. The laundry room's White Thermofoil cabinets and Satin Silver knobs give a clean updated look to the home.
The Craft's new master bathroom was outfitted in cherry cabinetry finished in KraftMaid's Kaffe, a warm chestnut stain. Down the hall, the children's bathrooms were remade with a lighter Natural finish and equipped with Stainless Steel pulls.

New Orleans Saints defensive back Jabari Greer will co-host "Jazz from the French Market" with Sondra Bibb on Monday, July 22, from 4 - 7p.
Clearly, as Paul Sanchez noted on Facebook, this makes Greer "the hippest Saints player ever.... More Saints players should tune in to WWOZ and feel the real groove of this city, we'd all be winners."
We didn't think one person could replace the AA and the Boudin Man so we got two. Old Man River and Russell Shelton will host this weeks Wednesday edition of the Kitchen Sink. We have prepared a special show where we will feature different versions, remakes and remixes. A MASH UP covering all genres. It should be a fun and entertaining night of radio.
This week's episode is dedicated to two of New Orleans' most beloved pieces of artistry– music and the culinary arts. We enjoy an hour-long set of Otra, an Afro-Cuban Jazz band from New Orleans. In this set, they call out to the French Quarter Fest crowd back in 2008, "Do what feels good. Music is for everyone.
Making cheese can be a long process, depending on what cheese is the target flavor mission. I have only attempted cheese making twice,( both ricotta) because of the minimal amount of chance for a f%&k up. And, I can still dance around the house and listen to new cd's and reflect on upcoming events. Once such event is Tales of the Cocktail. Being a bartender and restauranteur, Tales is a huge event for the city of New Orleans. Originally started as a dinner party among friends, TOTC has grown into one of the biggest spirit events in possibly the world. Five days of tasting rooms, seminars, spirited dinners and parties all hightlighting spirits and cocktails and their resurgence and evolution.
I have been going/involved with tales of the cocktail since 2007, and it has been a blast. Bartenders, distillers, writers, drinkers all descend on the Hotel Monteleone and talk, imbibe, dance and eat their way through all things spirits. The seminars range from $45 to $60 and highlight different aspects of a professional bar. Some examples: The history of Hendricks, Creating an excel spreadsheet for inventory, The Manhattan, Ice and its different styles. You get the point. The price includes what ever cocktails are created for specific seminars. The tasting rooms are just that, free samples of whatever spirit has the room. Usually a cocktail and a chance to taste the spirit in its original form. Don't forget peoples, water is your friend!! The spirited dinners pair a restaurant and a mixologist(s) with an theme and specific spirits for a price. Somewhere between $75 and $100 per person. This is a one of a kind experience to see how the cities chefs work with different spirits and relate them to cuisine. These take place on the Thursday during tales(July 18th, 2013.)
Join Brice Nice and Alski this Friday night for another edition of Sound Clash, a friendly musical duel. As usual the only rule is staying in the groove.

Obama and the Bayonets: Who's Right on the Defense Debate?
President Obama's snappy comeback about bayonets and horses put Mitt Romney on the defensive on defense spending ... but do his arguments hold water?

In my quest to identify valuable resources for IBM Business Partners, I came across another excellent one.
The "2012 Co-Marketing Guide for IBM Business Partners" is an online, user-friendly guide that looks and reads like a small spiral notebook. The color coded tabs make it extremely easy to navigate through the topics which include co-marketing programs, assets, incentives, sales plays, and solutions. The guide has dozens of hotlinks which point to PartnerWorld web pages, and is also a great conduit to funnel users to the new "Co-Marketing Center" where they can create and design their own customized "Ready to Execute" campaigns.
As a staunch advocate of content consolidation and "one-stop-shop" repositories, I highly recommend this new resource, and would encourage you to view the many other resources that are available on the PartnerWorld SMB web page.
