I have been following your blog for a couple of months now, so thought I would say hello! I am home with my 2 little girls, and I am not crafty at all, so your blog has become my go-to source for inspiration! We have tried several of your ideas, and are having SO much fun! Thanks for making everything so accessible; I really appreciate the photos, and the step-by-step instructions, as this is an area of motherhood that I really struggle with!
All the best to you and your beautiful girls :)

Well, yeah... we apparently had similar idea with boxes and theaters but completely different way of putting it together! LOL
Love yours. Very colorful! :) I just published a tutorial for mine: http://willowatsquidoo.blogspot.com/2011/04/mamas-making-toys-diy-finger-puppet.html As I said... completely different! ;)

Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - Mark Lyons led a balanced Arizona attack with 17
points and seven assists as No. 4 Arizona downed Oral Roberts, 89-64, at the
McKale Center.
Grant Jerrett followed with 15 points and Brandon Ashley finished with 14,
while Nick Johnson and Solomon Hill each contributed 12 points for the
Wildcats (9-0), who started 9-0 for the first time since the 1987-88 squad
opened the season with 12 straight victories.
Warren Niles had a game-high 22 points for Oral Roberts (5-5), which had its
two-game win streak snapped.
Shawn Glover added 18 points and Steven Roundtree dropped in 11 in defeat.
Lyons opened the game with a 3-pointer to spark a 10-2 run capped with Hill's
3-point play and the Wildcats held that lead for the remainder of the contest.
After three free throws by Niles later brought the Golden Eagles within 21-15,
Arizona reeled off seven straight points to open up a 28-15 lead with just
under eight minutes remaining in the first half.
The Wildcats maintained a double-digit advantage from there and carried a
45-31 lead into the second half, where Arizona netted the frame's first 11
points to go on top, 56-31.
The Golden Eagles never got closer than 16 points for the remainder of the
Game Notes
It was the first-ever meeting between the teams ... Arizona shot 57.6 percent
from the field while holding Oral Roberts to just 38.3 percent shooting ...
The Wildcats scored 27 points off 20 Oral Roberts turnovers.

There's Only One Grand ReserveAida's Grand Reserve enters its ninth year, and, as always, it's at once a delicious coffee and great fodder for conversation about quality, relationships, and what makes a product special.
Style of Tasting
Cup and BrewTasters familiar with Aida's Grand Reserve will definitely want to cup it to get as much sensory information as possible, so begin by setting up the two coffees for cupping. Also be prepared to brew a batch or two of AGR to enjoy in at a more leisurely rate either as your cuppers are arriving or after you finish cupping—or both!
Notes on the CoffeesA few weeks ago, I said that Finca Mauritania is an example of how good a coffee can be with average elevation and good varieties when every step of the harvesting and processing of that coffee is flawless. Well, Aida's Grand Reserve, which we purchase from the same Aida Batlle who's responsible for Finca Mauritania's coffee, represents how much better a producer can make coffee when she has the option to complement coffee from better elevation and varieties with perfect processing.
Let me explain. Of the farms that Aida's family owns, Finca Mauritania is the lowest elevation and the only one that is 100% Bourbon variety, while her other farms—Los Alpes and Kilimanjaro—are higher up the Ilmantepec volcano and have more complex-tasting varieties like Kenia, Pacamara, and Typica.
Of course, Aida is not changing the varieties or elevation of coffee from an individual farm. But, unlike most farmers, she is able to apply the picking, processing, and selection techniques—the techniques that make Finca Mauritania so good—to varieties and elevation that are even better.
For most farmers, varieties are difficult to experiment with, because projects require at least five years to produce adequately and experimenting with elevation is impossible—unless you have money to spend on buying more land to farm and planting it with coffee, which, as you might expect, is rare.
Getting back to Grand Reserve, this is the ninth year that Aida has challenged herself to create a small lot of extraordinary coffee from among the many coffee varieties and methods of processing that she has available, and it's also our ninth year selling this coffee.
The idea began as a way to recoup costs from the damage caused by the 2005 eruption of the Ilmantepec volcano and has since become a coffee that Aida is incredibly proud of—over which she spends countless hours agonizing each year. Saying that every batch is unique is an understatement of comic proportions: A few years ago, there were no fewer than 27 different components to Aida's Grand Reserve coming from three farms, three processes (washed, sundried natural, and pulp natural), and three fermentation styles (Kenya, Ethiopia, and El Salvador) within the washed coffee segments.
The 2014 lot is simpler in its composition—which is exclusively washed coffees from Finca Kilimanjaro and Finca Los Alpes (i.e., no naturals, no Mauritania)—but the flavors don't lack for fruitiness or complexity. Though there are fewer components this year, Aida's Grand Reserve is by no means basic, as we're still talking about three varieties (Bourbon, Typica, and Kenia) from two farms and fermentation techniques borrowed from Burundi and Kenya.
Having tasted so many iterations of Aida's farms' coffees over the years, as well as the annual Grand Reserve lot, we have encouraged her to focus on the farms with the best elevation and varieties, as opposed to including all of the farms and all of the processes she knows—as she did in that year of the 27 components. I'm sure there's a sports or musical analogy to be made about demonstrating true mastery through refinement, as opposed to sheer volume, but, for this audience, Aida's coffees probably need no analogies in order to make sense.
Rollout Dates and AvailabilityFinca Mauritania is already on the menu and Aida's Grand Reserve is slated to roll out in mid-November, pending brand-spankin' new packaging.

Snapped a few pics of my hike today. Just wondering if you guys had any pics of your workouts to get in shape for the backcountry. This is the C-trail just outside of cedar city. Not too difficulty of a hike and offers a nice view of the Cedar City. Not sure what the weather is like where you are, but it's just beginning to come around here in Cedar City. Supposed to be around 80 this weekend. Scouting season is just around the corner!
Gotta love my hiking apparel. Shorts and hiking socks with hiking boots. Classic.
Time to bust out the new hiking boots.
The 4500 is just getting broke in. Only has one CO elk hunt under its belt, no pun intended. Still needs to get its first kill too.
Show your workout/hiking/shooting/preparation pics if you've got them.

text: I am really impressed with the quality of the products and the customer service from this website. Unfortunately they did not have my size, so I had to ask for a refund for the wonderful jacket that I ordered (the quality and appearance is very good, and totally as shown in the picture, not deceiving marketing photos). The Artizara staff is really nice and professional, quick and accurate response to my questions, and acting with integrity and ethics. They are the true example of real Muslim, MashaAllah, and after speaking on the phone with them, it makes you wish to be a better person, to be more forgiving, soft-spoken and respectful to others, as they are! Although I am not a Muslim (yet), I am in the process of learning about Islam and I read your blogs regularly. I am grateful for being exposed to very good and inspiring examples of Muslim brothers and sisters, and the Artizara staff is among these great examples. Thank you for such a great experience, I am pleased to know about you and do business with you! May Allah give you his best care and mercy! Subhan Allah!

ATLANTA, Ga. -- 70,000 or so football fans will converge Sunday on the Georgia Dome for the Falcons game against the Arizona Cardinals. At least some of them will get handed a leaflet from Common Cause, urging them to "raise up" and weigh in on the billion dollar question: Should the Dome be replaced with a new stadium partially funded by hotel motel tax money?
"The debate seems to be going on between the Georgia World Congress Center and the Atlanta Falcons. An important player in that game is left out. And that's the people who fill the dome and and live here around it," said William Perry, executive director of Common Cause Georgia.

MORE | Freebies fly as stadium politics emerge
Common Cause has launched a web site to record opinions from the public. The watchdog group has also organized a public forum on the new stadium November 26th -- which will allow the audience a rare chance to question the director of the Georgia World Congress Center, Frank Poe, about the project. Poe declined comment for this story. The forum will be held at the AU center, southwest of the Dome.
"I live in a neighborhood where if you say the word 'stadium,' it immediately brings anxiety," said Ivory Lee Young, Jr., an Atlanta city councilman who represents Vine City, a neighborhood west of the Dome. Young says residents will be very vocal: They want to see some of the construction money spent in the neighborhood.
"The contracts that come out of the one billion dollar stadium will dramatically impact the businesses that are in this community," Young said. He says residents will also want more "holistic" benefits, starting with improvements to public schools.

1975 Dodge Dart Rearend Swap - Size Does MatterWritten by on November 1, 2007 A Cheap Upgrade To Bigger Bolt Patterns And Disc Brakes
Who says you can't find usable parts at salvage yards and swap meets anymore? Sure, it may be harder than it used to be, and you sure as heck won't find a 426 Hemi resting in a Road Runner in a salvage yard, but sometimes you can stumble across some parts you know you will be able to use someday.
When we started to resurrect our '75 Dart Sport, we knew it needed a lot of work, and we wanted to put the car on the road with as little money as possible. We first made it road worthy, which cost us $810. Driving it was cool, but it still didn't look cool. So we painted the wheels, added a set of tires and "dog dish/poverty" caps to our painted wheels, put an OE-style wing on the trunk lid, and an A-Body scoop on the hood. This brought our total to $1,872. Now it finally looked cool, but it really didn't sound the part. So, for an additional $2,149, it sounded the part with a V-8 swap. This brought our total to $4,021. Now I don't care who you are, building a good-looking driver for under $5,000 is tough . . . but fun.
There were a few things we felt we should address, if for no other reason than safety's sake. The Sport came from the factory with 9-inch drum brakes all around, and stopping was neither quick nor pleasant-it was a planned attack of excitement, especially in traffic. There are many companies that offer disc-brake conversions, and some are even "economically" priced. But what if you just can't spend the money needed to get a new kit? There are things you can do if you're willing to spend a little time looking and some elbow grease after you find what's needed.
To do the front-end swap, you'll need the spindles from a '73-and-up A-, B-, E-, F-, J-, M-, or R-chassis disk-brake car; drum spindles don't work for an OE swap. You'll also need the rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets. There are two types of calipers: pin-mount style and slider style. Don't forget to also grab the prop valve.
We were fortunate enough to find a mid-'70s B-Body that had just been brought to the local salvage yard and were able to grab the entire disc-brake setup for $50. We simply unhooked the ball joints, cut the rubber hoses, and removed the prop valve. Some of the parts from the scavenge will not be used, but when buying new calipers, for instance, there was a $15-per-caliper core charge when we got the new ones. Having the old ones to hand in saved us $30. By the time we walked out of the local auto parts store, we had spent another $245 for a new master cylinder, bearings and seals, calipers, brake pads, rotors, and brake lines.
There has been a fierce debate over the use of the later B-, F-, M-, J-, and R-Body spindle. Switching to the later B-Body spindle actually gives you more stability, as the Steering Axis Inclination (SAI) is 8 degrees as opposed to the A-Body's 7.5. If you are really interested in the entire story about brake-spindle swapping, check out Mopar Muscle's March '05 issue. Bill Reilly of Reilly Motorsports (reillymotorsports.com) scientifically proved its worth.
So now we had everything needed to handle the front end, but what were we going to do with the rear? We didn't want a big bolt-pattern wheel on the front and a small bolt pattern on the rear. Not only that, the 7 1/4 rear was already making noise from the V-8's, err maybe it was the driver's abuse. trying to find an A-Body 8 3/4 rear for cheap is not going to happen, but a possibility is finding an 8 1/4 rearend. The 8 1/4 came in a lot of A-Bodies, and unless you plan on continued racing abuse, it can serve as a good economical rearend for your driver.
Luckily, we had a friend who just happened to have an 8 1/4 that was in his way, and he offered it to us. We know what you're thinking, Like anyone is going to give ME a rear for my car. Ok, so in order to be fair, we'll say a good 8 1/4 rearend could probably be had at a swap meet for about $150.
But now a really big problem has arisen-the wheels won't fit!
This was a good time to upgrade the wheel-and-tire package on the Sport, but after trying a couple of different wheel styles on the car, it was decided the steelies and "dog-dish" caps looked good on the car, and it's cheap. So we called Stockton Wheel and ordered a set of steel Mopar wheels for the rear with a 4 1/2-inch bolt pattern and a 3 3/4-inch back space. The hubcaps were another gift, but we could have stayed with the older style we had. Since we were upgrading wheels to bigger bolt patterns, we also ordered 15-inch wheels. The 14-inchers just don't seem to fill the wheelwells enough; a 15-inch wheel is almost a must on these cars.
Tires would be another issue. BFGoodrich always seems to be the choice of tire for musclecar guys, so we decided to go that route. Wheels and tires will set you back about $500, which could vary depending on your tire shop.
All-in-all, the swap took us only a weekend of our time. That includes painting and rebuilding everything that needed it. So for around $870, we made the Dart safer to drive, look better with larger wheels and tires, and improved the performance since our 8 1/4 rear has a 4.10 gear in it. So what are you waiting on; the swap is easy.

When we got our "new" brake system from the salvage yard, we grabbed both complete sides. This gave us everything we needed, plus when replacing parts like the calipers with new ones, having the rusty old ones can save you a core charge when you buy the new ones.After cleaning the spindles, caliper brackets, and new calipers, everything was painted rattle-can cast.Parts like the old bearings and seals are discarded. We found cracks in our rotors, so we changed them as well.After the painted parts dry, it's time to reassemble them. This should be easy since you just took them apart.Our old rotors had a lot of heat cracking, so we installed the new bearings and seals into our new rotors. Make sure to thoroughly pack the bearings before you install them.Place the upper ball joint in the spindle and then install the nut. This will hold the spindle assembly in place so you can place the jack under the lower control arm and jack it up, inserting the lower ball joint into the lower control arm.We have heard of guys using the stock, drum-brake distribution valve, and simply changing the master cylinder for this swap. It's not recommended to do that, which is why we suggested you grab the prop block from the salvage yard. You will have to "tweak" the lines a little bit or even replace them to install the block, but it's the right way to do it. If you don't have a factory disc-brake prop block, you can use an aftermarket unit. We mounted ours down on the framerail, out of sight.
Our new 8 1/4 rear came complete with longer studs and a neato, shiny rearend cover. Now if we can only get the car owner to keep it clean, instead of this author having to climb under the car every week. We gave the rear a quick coat of rattle-can black, and in it went.The first set of wheels we tried were Weld Draglites that we had, which were taking up space in the storage unit.The wheels looked good on the car, and the tall, 255/70/15-inch tires filled the wheel opening. But we decided to try another set of wheels.Next on the agenda was to try a set of Magnum 500s that were from another car. We're not sure why, but the owner didn't seem to think they looked right. All four tires were 225/70s.Before we changed to the disc brakes and larger bolt pattern, we ran steelies and dog-dish caps on the Dart. We had grown to really like the steelies on the car, so we ordered another set-this time in 15-inch sizes. Our wheels are from Stockton Wheel, and the fronts are 15x6 with 3-inch backspacing, and the rears are 15x7 with 3 3/4 back spacing. The tires are BFG radials, measuring 195/60 up front and 235/70 on the rear.We finished the look with a different set of dog-dish caps than previously used. The red stripe matches the car better than the other Dodge caps with black trim.Here you go. We took a forgotten Dart Sport, made a respectable driver out of it, and are currently driving the wheels off it. it cost us a grand total of $4,891. Anyone can do this. you just have to be willing to get dirty and do a lot of looking for the right car.

News: Rivas Achieves 1st Coaching Win, Women's Soccer Beats WVC, 1-0
The Pasadena City College women's soccer team handed new head coach Reggie Rivas his first collegiate victory in defeating West Valley College, 1-0, to close out the Ventura Showcase Tournament Saturday.
The Lancers improved to 1-1 and scored their first goal of the 2013 season after being blanked for 145 minutes. In the 56th minute, sophomore defender Amanda Papac gained possession following a West Valley goal punt, then dribbled past two defenders before firing in a 20-yard shot over the outstretched right hand of Vikings' goalie Arezu Amirkial. The goal stood up as PCC celebrated Rivas victory No. 1 as head coach.
"We really dominated the play in the first half, but we didn't get shots on goal," Rivas said. "Amanda just made a terrific individual play to get us on the board. We were in control despite the close score. Now our team knows we can bounce right back after a loss."
Rivas again cited the strong play defensively of both Papac and freshman defender Bailey Shaw. The coach said his midfielders made key contributions, including sophomores Kaylin Edwards, Isabella Montano, and Cassandra Orozco.
Goalie Tatiana Sanchez only had to make two saves in recording the shutout. PCC limited West Valley to just three shots (Lancers shot seven) all contest.
On Friday, Sept. 6, the Lancers will make their home debut in a 5 p.m. non-conference game v. Moorpark College at Robinson Stadium.

Stalking a silent killer
Medicine | The viruses leading to cervical cancer have gone underdiagnosed for too long; now, with a new vaccine, women-and girls-face ethical challenges over making use of it
Eva Perón never knew what killed her. In the early 1950s, before patients' bills of rights and managed care, doctors and families commonly kept cancer diagnoses a secret from those afflicted. But Argentinian president Juan Perón went to great lengths to hide his wife's diagnosis of cervical cancer from her. He never told his wife before her death in 1952 that an American specialist performed her hysterectomy in place of her local doctor. Historians have speculated that the deception was part political maneuvering and part denial; President Perón did not want the country to learn of his misfortune in an election year, and his wife did not want to know.
But there was something neither Perón nor the public knew about Evita, even after a Broadway musical memorialized the story of her populism and humanitarianism. Her cancer was caused by a sexually transmitted virus that she most likely caught from her husband, whose first wife also died of cervical cancer.
The CDC estimates that 80 percent of women under 50 have had human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer. Doctors have known about the disease for at least 20 years, but until recently it remained as much a mystery to the public as it did to Juan and Eva Perón.
The release of an HPV vaccine in June finally gave women a reason to talk to their doctors and each other about the disease. The facts of HPV challenge what they thought they knew about sex and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
HPV can occur in monogamous relationships if one of the people in the relationship has had previous genital contact with someone else. As with all STDs, abstinence until marriage will prevent HPV, but it has to be abstinence from all genital contact, and on the part of both spouses. HPV is similar to HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, only in that both can be transmitted sexually. But statistically speaking, the population that exposes itself to HPV is much larger than the one that exposes itself to HIV. About 40,000 new U.S. cases of HIV occur every year, while there are over 6.2 million new cases of HPV.
There are more than 100 kinds of Human papillomaviruses, all of which cause changes to skin cells. The majority of types cause the common skin wart; about 40 kinds of HPV are transmitted through genital contact. Most HPV infections clear up on their own with no symptoms. Some types of HPV cause genital warts in men and women, while a handful of strains change the cells of the cervix into pre-cancerous cells. The cells will develop into cancer if not detected and removed. Men can carry the kinds of HPV that cause cervical cancer, but they rarely experience any symptoms from it. Doctors now believe HPV is the sole cause of all cervical cancer.
With 6.2 million new cases of HPV every year-more than gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis combined-the Centers for Disease Control predict that if every American ages 14 to 49 took an HPV test on the same day, 15 percent-20 million people-would be infected. More than half of sexually active men and women get HPV at some point in their lives; and, the CDC says, by age 50, 80 percent of women have had HPV. A recent study showed people who use condoms were 70 percent less likely to get HPV than those who do not, but condoms are not 100 percent effective at preventing the virus.
Gynecologists now use HPV testing as a follow-up to an abnormal Pap test, which analyzes cervical cells for early signs of cancer. But HPV has a long, unpredictable latency, so a woman can contract the virus early in her adult life and have it for years before it affects the cells in her cervix. A man can also carry the virus for a long time and never experience symptoms. Without abstinence, both may give the disease to others in the meantime.
Connie Mao, a gynecologist at the Harborview Women's Clinic in Seattle, said most of her patients with HPV had never heard of the virus before she diagnosed them with it. "They want to treat it, they want to know it's gone, and they want to know who gave it to them," said Mao, who is also on the faculty at the University of Washington, the country's leading HPV research center. "All of those questions with HPV are very hard. You could have had it for 10 years, and I can't treat it."
Emily Wyse, a cervical cancer survivor, is still searching for answers since undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, and a hysterectomy a year ago. Before her diagnosis in 2005, Wyse had annual gynecological exams and Pap tests, all of which showed normal cervical cells. When she found out she had cancer, Wyse, 31, had been married for eight years and had two children. Her youngest child was 1 year old.
Wyse had never heard of HPV before her cancer diagnosis, but she soon had read everything she could find about it. She had never been tested for HPV, but she assumed she had it.
"We do not routinely test the cancers for HPV because it does not affect treatment and they are all positive," said Liz Swisher, a gynecological oncologist at the University of Washington, where Wyse was treated. After treatment, Wyse tested negative for HPV.
"There is a possibility that maybe I had the virus, but I was never tested for the virus, and now it's gone," she said.
With her cancer treatment a year behind her, Wyse considers herself an advocate for cervical cancer screening. She took a job as a program assistant at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, where she has chances to support other women who are going through cancer treatment. She still wants to reconcile her own story with the facts about cervical cancer and its links to HPV.
Wyse plans to have specimens from some of her old Pap tests checked for HPV. She believes what Swisher and other doctors say about the cause of cervical cancer, but she also wants to understand exactly what happened to her body.
"I'm kind of in limbo at this point. I want to know for sure," Wyse said. She also wants other women to know for sure, which is why she thinks the HPV test should be given more often.
"Women need to ask to be screened for this potentially life-threatening virus before it is too late," she said.
"If there's this virus and I do have it or did have it, why didn't I know about it? They basically test you for everything when you get pregnant."
FDA approval of the HPV vaccine Gardasil, which provides immunity from two kinds of HPV that cause 70 percent of cervical cancer, has sparked increased interest in the virus from women and the media. The vaccine's maker, pharmaceutical company Merck, has started a national ad campaign to promote HPV awareness. Commercials show women talking about "cancer caused by a virus" and direct viewers to the website www.
tell-someone.com. The women in the commercial appear surprised, just like Wyse, to hear that HPV causes cervical cancer.
Mao has studied HPV for almost 10 years and treated the disease for much longer. She pointed out that while doctors have had an inexpensive test for cervical cancer, the Pap test, since the 1940s, they did not have a reliable test for HPV until the last decade.
"HPV has been very elusive," Mao said. "It was one of more difficult viruses to look at in the lab." In 2000, the FDA approved an HPV DNA test, but only as a diagnosis tool for women who had abnormal Pap test results. Even though the regulations relaxed a little in 2003, Mao said most doctors still use the HPV DNA test only to diagnose abnormal Pap results. That explains why, until the release of the vaccine, many women knew about cervical cancer, but few people had heard about HPV unless they were diagnosed with it.
Even in the absence of routine HPV screening, the Pap test helped doctors in the United States bring cervical cancer rates under control. Between 1955 and 1992, the number of U.S. cervical cancer deaths dropped by 74 percent, according to the American Cancer Society. Dr. Anna Giuliano, a researcher at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Florida, has studied HPV and cervical cancer since completing her Ph.D. in 1990.
"Ultimately, as long as people participate in a Pap smear screening program, their risk for cancer is going to be very low," Giuliano said.
Cervical cancer ranks 11th on the list of common cancers in American women, according to the American Social Health Association. But worldwide, it is the second deadliest cancer, next to breast cancer, in women because developing countries lack Pap test screening programs.
The World Health Organization reports that 80 percent of the world's cervical cancers occur in developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Central America. In Central America and the Caribbean, cervical cancer is more common than breast cancer.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded some of the most well-known efforts to fight cervical cancer in developing countries. From 1999 to 2004, the foundation gave $50 million to establish and support the Alliance for Cervical Cancer Prevention, which works with local doctors and health agencies to set up screening programs in countries like Angola, India, and Tanzania.
In June, the nonprofit global health organization PATH announced it had received $27.8 million from the foundation for a five-year project to introduce the HPV vaccine in India, Peru, Uganda, and Vietnam. A spokeswoman for PATH said the organization had just started working on the project, and, like all global health programs, it would take a while to implement. Merck has promised to give projects like PATH's a discount on Gardasil.
In the United States, the vaccine is already for sale for $120 a dose, more expensive than any other vaccine on a price list published in August by the Centers for Disease Control.
Since it takes three doses to develop full immunity, American women can expect to pay $360 for full protection against HPV. Some private insurance companies have already agreed to cover the cost. So did the federal Vaccines for Children program, which provides free immunizations to uninsured or underinsured children. Since Pap testing, which usually costs less than $50 a test, has successfully kept U.S. cervical cancer at bay, Giuliano does not expect rates of the disease to drop significantly lower because of the vaccine. Rather, she predicted, the incidence of abnormal Pap tests and genital warts will decrease. Whether it will encourage promiscuity has not been tested.
"There have been studies looking at how women feel once they have been given an HPV test diagnosis," Giuliano said. "It's almost akin to having been diagnosed with one of the classic STDs. . . . Women don't know if they can have sex again or not. It does create a lot of anxiety even when they don't develop cervical cancer."
To develop immunity to HPV, women must receive the vaccine before they expose themselves to the disease. That puts the responsibility on parents to estimate when daughters will become sexually active and to decide whether and when a girl should get the HPV vaccine. The CDC recommended the vaccine for girls as young as 9, stirring a controversy similar to the debate over sex education in schools. States chose not to include the vaccine on their lists of shots required for school attendance.
Conservative family groups that oppose mandatory sex education and condom distribution at schools have said they support the use of the vaccine as long as parents, not schools, choose whether their children receive it. The Family Research Council issued the following statement:
"While we welcome medical advances such as an HPV vaccine, it remains clear that practicing abstinence until marriage and fidelity within marriage is the single best way of preventing the full range of sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and negative psychological and emotional consequences that can result from sexual activity outside marriage."
Mao witnesses those consequences at the Harborview Women's Clinic, where every day she explains HPV to another patient who has never heard of it. "I've taken care of a lot of young women with fairly significant disease who end up getting procedures done to remove abnormal cells," Mao said. "I've had people tell me, 'I wish someone would have told me about HPV before I had sex with people, and maybe I would have had fewer partners or thought about it a little.' People don't understand the risk of having boyfriends when 15 or 16 years old other than just getting pregnant."

At first glance, the RNT Daisy Cutter Single Reed Duck Call's aggressive style is visually apparent, through its beefy stature and its unrelenting stare of its skull and crossbones only dreamed about by other calls. No contest ring. No fluff gimmicks. No compromising. It's just pure, raw, balls-to-the-wall, don't-tell-your-mother, and most powerful, non-nuclear duck-calling machine on the planet.
Modeled after the super nasty red-hot Short Barrel, RNT has added a much more aggressive calling style to its design. A Short Barrel on steroids. RNT has given this duck call a higher reed set along with a wider bore to give it a more demanding presence than the Short Barrel, while still maintaining the ability to get down and dirty on the low end.
Louder, raunchier, and more powerful than its little brother, this Daisy Cutter duck call by RNT may not be for everyone. But if you can drive it, game over.

While many Americans associate amber with the casing for dinosaur DNA in 1993's Jurassic Park, the stone has enthralled Europeans, and especially Russians, for centuries because of the golden, jewel-encrusted Amber Room, which was made of several tons of the gemstone. A gift to Peter the Great in 1716 celebrating peace between Russia and Prussia, the room's fate became anything but peaceful: Nazis looted it during World War II, and in the final months of the war, the amber panels, which had been packed away in crates, disappeared. A replica was completed in 2003, but the contents of the original, dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World," have remained missing for decades.

Golden Gift
Construction of the Amber Room began in 1701. It was originally installed at Charlottenburg Palace, home of Friedrich I, the first King of Prussia. Truly an international collaboration, the room was designed by German baroque sculptor Andreas Schlüter and constructed by the Danish amber craftsman Gottfried Wolfram. Peter the Great admired the room on a visit, and in 1716 the King of Prussia—then Frederick William I—presented it to the Peter as a gift, cementing a Prussian-Russian alliance against Sweden.
The Amber Room was shipped to Russia in 18 large boxes and installed in the Winter House in St. Petersburg as a part of a European art collection. In 1755, Czarina Elizabeth ordered the room to be moved to the Catherine Palace in Pushkin, named Tsarskoye Selo, or "Czar's Village." Italian designer Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli redesigned the room to fit into its new, larger space using additional amber shipped from Berlin.
After other 18th-century renovations, the room covered about 180 square feet and glowed with six tons of amber and other semi-precious stones. The amber panels were backed with gold leaf, and historians estimate that, at the time, the room was worth $142 million in today's dollars. Over time, the Amber Room was used as a private meditation chamber for Czarina Elizabeth, a gathering room for Catherine the Great and a trophy space for amber connoisseur Alexander II.
On June 22, 1941, Adolf Hitler initiated Operation Barbarossa, which launched three million German soldiers into the Soviet Union. The invasion led to the looting of tens of thousands of art treasures, including the illustrious Amber Room, which the Nazis believed was made by Germans and, most certainly, made for Germans.
As the forces moved into Pushkin, officials and curators of the Catherine Palace attempted to disassemble and hide the Amber Room. When the dry amber began to crumble, the officials instead tried hiding the room behind thin wallpaper. But the ruse didn't fool the German soldiers, who tore down the Amber Room within 36 hours, packed it up in 27 crates and shipped it to Königsberg, Germany (present-day Kaliningrad). The room was reinstalled in Königsberg's castle museum on the Baltic Coast.

The Buzz
Need-to-know news
"The Buzz" Continued...
A bridge too far
The senator who fought for the infamous "bridge to nowhere" is now fighting to stay out of prison. Federal prosecutors say Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, failed to disclose more than $250,000 in home renovations and other lavish gifts from VECO Corp., an oil services contractor that often lobbied for federal grants and projects. Stevens was indicted on July 30 on seven felony counts, each of which carries up to five years in prison.
One of the Senate's most powerful appropriators and longest-serving members, the 84-year-old Stevens developed a reputation for securing funding for pork projects in Alaska and for helping to increase government spending in general. Stevens, who has served in the Senate for 40 years, said he was innocent and vowed to fight the charges. He may, however, have to fight alone, politically: National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Ensign refused to endorse Stevens in his primary battle against six other GOP opponents. "The candidates are on the ballot right now," said Ensign, "and we're going to wait to see how that whole thing plays out."
Tabled talk
Zimbabwe's president and its opposition leader met for the first time in a decade last month and agreed to a framework for negotiations toward a unity government. But with a deadline for talks fast approaching, it's unclear what the leaders will have to talk about: Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai said any agreement should respect the results of a first round of voting in March. Tsvangirai won that election, but by a slim and contested majority. President Robert Mugabe insists that the basis for talks be a June 27 runoff, which he won because Tsvangirai bowed out over violence against opposition supporters. Mugabe, 84, has been Zimbabwe's leader for 28 years and is blamed for state-sponsored violence and runaway inflation.
What's clear is that tightened sanctions issued by the United States and the European Union seem to be forcing the Mugabe regime to the table. The U.S. Treasury moved to freeze the assets of 17 business enterprises controlled by the Zimbabwean government and on July 25 banned Americans from doing business with them. President Bush said that should the talks lead to a new government, the United States stood ready to provide a substantial assistance package, development aid, and normalized relations.
Pervasive ruling
A federal appeals court ruled July 23 that the state of Colorado violated constitutional rights when it blocked Colorado Christian University (CCU) students from receiving taxpayer-funded financial aid.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver overturned a lower court decision holding the nondenominational CCU "pervasively sectarian" and thus ineligible for state scholarship dollars. The three-judge panel said the state discriminated without constitutional justification by granting funds to some religious institutions-including Methodist and Roman Catholic universities-but then refusing to distribute money to other schools labeled "pervasively sectarian."
Paul Corts, president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, told the Associated Press that students "attending institutions such as CCU who take their faith-based commitment seriously should have an equal opportunity to participate in Colorado's financial aid program."
The CCU ruling is the latest in a string of legal victories for religious schools seeking state financial aid. In recent years, courts in California, Virginia, and Ohio have affirmed the rights of religious institutions to receive state aid, marking a departure from past tradition in which the courts approved funding for colleges with religious affiliation, but not for those requiring students to adhere to such things as faith statements or chapel attendance.
Colorado Christian president William Armstrong told The Denver Post he was thankful for the outcome: "We think that it's a great victory for our students but also for the First and 14th amendments."
Confessed killers
Indonesian terror suspects arrested in early July have confessed to executing a Christian teacher in front of his family last year. They also say they were planning to assassinate an American language teacher before their arrest. The teacher has been identified only by his first name, Samuel, in the town of Sekayu, and according to the Associated Press left his post in recent months.
The confessions illustrate the tenacity of hardened and radical Islamic networks in Indonesia, despite a U.S.-backed crackdown that has netted more than 400 suspects in recent years. The 10 alleged militants told officers they were plotting to attack Indonesia's Supreme Court in retaliation for the upcoming executions of the 2002 Bali nightclub bombers, in addition to the 2007 shooting death of 59-year-old Dago Simamora, an Indonesian teacher, in front of his children last year in the south Sumatran town of Pekanbaru.
River of red ink
The White House announced last week that the fiscal year 2009 budget deficit would jump to $482 billion. Democrats pounced on the report, arguing that the record number is the result of an irresponsible president, but Bush budget director Jim Nussle was quick to point out that a large portion of the red ink came from the bipartisan "stimulus" plan with its $150 billion in tax rebates. Nussle also noted that the deficit is 3.3 percent of gross domestic product, not far from the norm over the past 30 years. The deficit figure does not include $80 billion in war funding that is considered off budget.
Access denied
The Beijing Games organizing committee has reneged on an earlier promise that the 20,000 journalists covering the Olympic Games would receive unfettered internet access. The Chinese government routinely censors websites it considers politically or socially incorrect, but visiting media had received assurance that they would not encounter such blockades. International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge had previously counted that allowance among the achievements of his "silent diplomacy."
Now, journalists have begun complaining that their jobs are exceedingly more difficult without access to sites like that of Amnesty International, which highlights human-rights issues in China. Mark Allison, an East Asia researcher for Amnesty International, accuses the IOC of caving to China on the matter: "This blatant media censorship adds one more broken promise that undermines the claim that the Games would help improve human rights in China."
Kevan Gosper, chairman of the IOC's press commission, admitted to the Reuters news service that "IOC officials negotiated with the Chinese that some sensitive sites would be blocked on the basis they were not considered Games- related." That kind of backpedaling is undermining original ideals about the power of Olympism to transform China.
Movement to McCain
Barack Obama is making headlines with his outreach efforts to evangelicals, but John McCain may be making more headway. The Arizona senator and members of his campaign have met with dozens of high-profile evangelical leaders over the past several months, a drive now paying off in endorsements. Tim and Beverly LaHaye, Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America, David Barton of WallBuilders, Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, and Phil Burress of the Ohio-based Citizens for Community Values are among the names lining up behind the presumptive Republican nominee.
Burress, who changed his mind on McCain after a private meeting with the GOP candidate, says more in-depth knowledge of the two presidential contenders will press many more evangelical heavyweights into McCain's camp soon-most notably Focus on the Family's James Dobson. "I believe he will eventually come out to support McCain, whether that's more for McCain or against Obama, because there's too much at stake here," Burress told WORLD. "And when Dr. Dobson speaks and finally endorses McCain, that will be the green light for the entire movement."
Dobson opened up the possibility of endorsing McCain on a July 21 radio broadcast: "I never thought I would hear myself saying this," he said. ". . . While I am not endorsing Sen. John McCain, the possibility is there that I might."
McCain's selection of a running mate could put a kink in those plans were he to choose a candidate fuzzy on the abortion issue such as Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida. But Burress, who believes McCain needs to talk about social issues more on the campaign trail, is confident that the vice presidential pick will reflect conservative values: "We were basically assured by his staff that there's no way in the world that he would pick a pro-abortion candidate."
In the Saddleback
Pastor Rick Warren will interview presidential contenders John McCain and Barack Obama on stage at his Southern California megachurch Aug. 16. The bestselling author of The Purpose Driven Life intends to question the candidates on matters of compassion and leadership. Obama and McCain will appear in succession for one hour each with a few minutes of overlap in between.
Warren told WORLD's Joel Belz that the platform he is providing the candidates is quite different from his pulpit at Saddleback Community Church-from which he expects to preach that same weekend about Christians' responsibility in the current election cycle. But Warren says he also wants, in a smaller and more private setting, to provide an opportunity for the candidates to hear from and speak to a variety of about 30 religious leaders.
Pew count
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released results of a survey on gender and church attendance this summer. The findings: Women go to church more than men. That reality hardly qualifies as news for many ministers who have long since launched campaigns directed at correcting the imbalance. In fact, the new numbers suggest such efforts may be working.
Pew reports that men make up 47 percent of evangelical Protestant congregations and 46 percent of mainline Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. Those figures represent marked improvement from the long-reported 60-40 split that has driven many churches to more masculine practices and aesthetics.
But work remains: The survey also revealed that among churchgoers, men are about 8 percentage points behind woman in weekly attendance.

I have two email accounts, one is gmail. I want to export part of my contacts from my gmail account to my other, work account. The export and import in "preferences" succeeds but nothing actually changes: Only the gmail account appears when I open my Address book.
The problem is that whenever I need to compose a new mail I have to start from my gmail account in the "From", find the recipient then switch back to the other account. This is annoying especially when I forget to switch back and work related mails thus are send from my private gmail.
Help appreciated!

Arterial blood gas is a test to look for gases in the blood.
This test determines the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood, as well as the acid/base status. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels are indicators of lung function. The acid/base status provides information on how well the lungs and kidneys are functioning. It can also give information as to whether there is a problem in the body, like an infection, that is throwing off the acid/base balance in the body.
If you are undergoing
oxygen therapy, this test can help to see if the therapy is effective.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have an arterial blood gases test, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the test.
If the blood is going to be taken from an artery in the arm, an Allen test will be done. This test will be used to evaluate blood circulation. During the Allen test, the technician will press the radial and ulnar arteries in the wrist. This will cause your palm to turn white. When the arteries are released, the skin will turn pink and flushed. If your skin does not flush within five seconds, this will indicate that you have decreased blood flow to your palm. Another puncture site will need to be chosen.
The puncture site will be swabbed clean. The needle will then be inserted into the selected artery. Blood will be withdrawn. The needle will be removed.
The technician will put pressure on the puncture site for about five minutes. If you take a blood-thinning medicine, it may take longer for the bleeding to stop. Once the bleeding has stopped, a bandage will be placed on the site. You will leave the bandage in place for 30-60 minutes. You will need to keep the site clean.
A few minutes
It may hurt slightly when the needle is inserted.
Based on the test results, your doctor can assess your lung and kidney function.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Beastie Boys' Adam "MCA" Yauch Dead at 47
Adam "MCA" Yauch, a member of the groundbreaking New York rap trio Beastie Boys, has died at the age of 47.
In 2009 Yauch had surgery for a cancer in a salivary gland and a lymph node. Information on the cause of Yauch's death wasn't immediately available.
Yauch's death comes less than a month after the Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Yauch was not in attendance due to his fight with cancer, but Adam "ad-Rock" Horowitz along with Michael "Mike D" Diamond read a letter from Yauch to the audience.
"I'd like to dedicate this to my brothers Adam and Mike," Yauch wrote, according to Rolling Stone. "They walked the globe with me. It's also for anyone who has ever been touched by our band. This induction is as much ours as it is yours."
Yauch's cancer delayed the release of their most recent album, "Hot Sauce Committee Part II," for two years. It was supposed to come out in 2009, but instead was released in spring 2011.
The Beastie Boys' debut album, 1986's Licensed to Ill featuring the singles "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party)," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," " Paul Revere," and "Brass Monkey" was the first rap album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard album charts.

ST. LOUIS (KSDK Sports) - The St. Louis Cardinals have agreed to a one-year deal with David Freese, avoiding arbitration.
Before the deal, Freese filed for $3.75 millon with the Cardinals offering $2.4 million. The Cardinals don't have any unsigned arbitration eligible players remaining now that they've agreed to terms with Freese.
Freese, 29, a St. Louis native and the 2011 World Series and National League Championship Series Most Valuable Player, is coming off a season in which he played in a career-best 144 games while starting 132. He batted .293 with career high totals of 20 home runs and 79 RBI, earning him his first All-Star Game appearance in 2012, coming by way of the Final Vote by the fans.
Freese holds the Major League record with 21 RBI in a single post-season capping off a playoff run that ended in the Cardinals 11th World Championship in 2011. He was the hero of Game 6 of the World Series hitting a game-tying triple in the ninth inning before a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.
The Cardinals acquired Freese in a trade with the San Diego Padres in December 2007 for outfielder Jim Edmonds.

Legal Career Options
Start your Job Search
Career options following law school are varied and plentiful, so it is a good idea to explore your options while in law school. Each year, graduates begin their careers in local, national, and even international venues.
Law Firms
The most common place to practice law is in the private sector, in a law firm setting. From solo practice to international mega-firm, options for lawyers in law firms vary greatly, as do the areas of practice and ability to do litigation or transactional work, civil or criminal, and to practice in a small town or in a big city. [Read More on Law Firms]
Judicial Clerkships
Moritz students and graduates are encouraged to consider a state or federal clerkship in their career plans. Securing a clerkship can provide a unique, rewarding, and challenging work experience for a year or two following graduation, and an opportunity to view the law from the rare perspective of judicial decision making. [Read More on Judicial Clerkships]
Public Interest
A career in public interest law can vary from representing minority groups through civil rights organizations; first amendment cases through civil liberties groups; the poor through legal services groups or legal aid societies; indigent people through public defender offices; children or the disabled through specialized law centers; and the incarcerated through prisoners' rights organizations, among many other opportunities. The overarching concern is representing the interests of individuals or groups that are traditionally underrepresented in the legal system. [Read More on Public Interest]
Alternative Careers
Many job opportunities exist for law graduates outside of the legal field. Most of these "alternative" jobs do not require a law degree, but can be an opportunity to use the skills learned in law school without practicing law. Some of the most common career tracks for lawyers within alternative industries are compliance and regulatory affairs, management at all levels, policy analysis, strategic planning, investor relations, and personnel. [Read More on Alternative Careers]
Government Jobs
There are a number of excellent career opportunities for attorneys in all levels of government - federal, state, or local. In general, government employers are looking for as diverse workforce as its citizens as well as practical skills gained in law school and in life. Preference may be given to those who are well rounded and will be able to "hit the ground running" and take on caseloads quickly and effectively. [Read More on Government Jobs]
Corporate Opportunities
Most businesses employ lawyers, either as in-house attorneys or through outside law firms to consult and handle legal issues on behalf of the corporation. In addition, businesses also hire law graduates to perform both legal and non-legal functions within the business. [Read More on Corporate Opportunities]
A post-graduate fellowship is an amazing opportunity to practice law for an organization that may not otherwise be hiring full-time attorneys. Through fellowships, attorneys work with a host organization on a specified project for a defined period of time (typically one or two years). Post-graduate fellowships can involve a wide array of practice areas and projects, typically, but not always, with a focus on public interest practice. [Read More on Fellowships]
International Careers
The Moritz College of Law offers three unique programs to help build your international legal career: A Certificate in International Trade and Development, Study Abroad Programs in Oxford, England, and Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships. We can then help you identify international job opportunities in the marketplace. [Read More on International Careers]

To the editor:
It appears I owe a sincere apology to Kathy Cantrell from Holly Ridge, (see her letter published June 24 headlined, �Letter didn�t live up to American values.�) whom I offended with my previous letter on June 19 headlined, �Sequestration has little to do with it.�
I guess I see things from a different perspective since my husband served over 32 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. We raised seven kids in the military life. Three of our four sons were military � two in the Air Force, now retired; and one lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. There�s also one grandson proudly in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Cantrell can trust me when I say that Ivers� blood has been spilled from the Chosin Reservoir to the sands of the first Gulf War, Beirut and Afghanistan along with the rest of our military.
Since I�m an 80-year-old broad, I guess that I failed to mention in my first letter that I believe in keeping it simple. I�m glad I didn�t mention my alternative to waterboarding our enemies, which again is quite simple. Duct tape the terrorists to a chair and hang a pork chop around their necks. Boy, I�m glad I didn�t mention that in my last letter.
Bottom line is this: We should not coddle terrorists.

Dayton Moore press conference notes
After wrapping up the 2011 season, Royals General Manager Dayton Moore expressed his thoughts in a press conference on Thursday. After several rookie call-ups throughout 2011, Moore couldn't be happier with the organization's decisions and the progression of each rookie. The Royals had 16 rookies play at the Major League level during the 2011 season. The group of fresh faces included debuts by Nate Adcock, Louis Coleman, Tim Collins, Aaron Crow, Danny Duffy, Johnny Giavotella, Kelvin Herrera, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Salvador Perez, Manny Pina and Everett Teaford. Moore explained that he was impressed with the overall approach the rookies developed at the Major League level and their efforts during the season. Most of the Major League debuts came earlier than anticipated. Moore commented that the organization expected Moustakas and Duffy to appear in 2011 but reevaluated the development pace of other rookies after observing the team's progress during Spring Training.
"Spring Training we began to refocus on the timetable, just how they adjusted into that setting," Moore said. "They're very comfortable, they're very sure, they're very confident leaders, just very poised people, and the way they handle that environment perhaps it can come a little quicker."
Moore praised pitching coach Bob McClure for his passion and time with the Kansas City Royals. McClure has been released from the coaching staff after spending six seasons with the squad. The GM went on to say that McClure gave a tremendous amount of his talent and teachings to the team along with bench coach John Gibbons, who was released from the after three seasons. Moore credited Gibbons for his outstanding knowledge of the game, but explained that the organization's decision was based on a different approach in certain areas and a new voice amongst the coaching staff.
"Ned [Yost] certainly has a vision for what he wants and he's with the players every single day," Moore said. "He knows what they need and we have to trust his opinion there and his judgment there and that's what we'll do."
Moore touched on Royals 2011 First-Year Player Draft pick Bubba Starling and his underage drinking citation that occurred last Saturday in Tempe, Arizona. Moore had nothing but positive things to say about the incident and pointed out that it is a learning experience for Starling. The GM explained that everyone goes through life lessons and this is just one of those lessons that Starling will grow from.
"When things like that happen with our young players it's the greatest teaching moment that we can have, we can't recreate that," Moore said. "Part of being a role model is how you handle mistakes."
Moore looks forward to the 2012 season and the MLB All-Star Game set for July 10th at Kauffman Stadium. He says that everyone will be working towards a better year, including the players, staff and coaches. Moore explains that the progress made in 2011 shows other teams just a glimpse of what the organization has in store and that everyone will have to work that much harder for steady improvement overall.
"The Kansas City Royals aren't sneaking up on anyone next year," Moore said. "It's going to be a different challenge for us next year."
