This $186 million, 3 phase expansion and renovation was completed in 2010. Phase 1 involved the addition of 2 levels of needed parking totaling 50,000 sq. ft. Phase 2 involved the construction of a 5 storey facility that today houses 4 patient units with a total of 32 additional beds. The phase 2 process required the relocation of roads, parking and site services without impeding the operation of the existing facility's operation. Phase 3 involved the renovation of existing critical care units which included operating rooms and special care nursery facilities.
The project was the construction of a very complex hospital structure in a very tight market. The project required the Team's best efforts to stay on schedule and budget while maintaining very high quality of all aspects of construction.
The LEED Gold submission is a testament to the dedication and hard work the Team put into project details.
Ed Mercier Director of PLC/RGH Capital Projects Alberta Health Services

2015 Big 12 Bowl Selection ProcessCollege Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Process
The CFP Selection Committee ranks the top 25 teams and selects the four teams to participate in the semifinal games. Then, after the contract bowls are filled based on conference agreements, the Committee will assign teams to fill the remaining New Year's bowls. Each conference champion from the contract bowls (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC & Pac 12) has a guaranteed spot in its contracted bowl or in another New Year's bowl (Cotton, Fiesta or Peach) if the contracted bowl is a semifinal game and the conference champion is not selected to participate in a semifinal game. The highest ranked champion from the Mountain West, American, Conference USA, Sun Belt or MAC is guaranteed a spot in a CFP bowl and the remaining spots are filled based on the rankings of teams after the contract bowls have been filled.

Additional Big 12 Teams in the CFP
If a Big 12 team(s) is rated in the top four of the CFP, it will play in one of the semifinals. This does not affect the Big 12 designee being placed in a CFP New Year's Bowl if it is not one of the top four teams. There is not a limit on the number of teams from one conference that can be placed in CFP bowls. Additional Big 12 teams may be selected for other CFP New Year's bowls based on their ranking in the final CFP Poll.

The Everly Brothers' sound borrowed from Appalachian folk, bluegrass and country to form a dreamy, innocent style of rock and roll. Over the decades – particuarly in the Fifties and Sixties – the Everlys' close-harmony style influenced the likes of the Hollies, Simon and Garfunkel, the Byrds and the Beatles, with Paul McCartney noting "They were and still are the very best." Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in its inaugural year, 1986, the Everly Brothers are featured in the Museum's Cities and Sounds exhibit, in the Rave On section. There, visitors to the Museum will find the outfits worn by the brothers on the cover of The Fabulous Style of the Everly Brothers, as well as a 1963 Gibson Everly Brothers model featuring a split pick guard surrounding the sound hole that was meant to represent the brothers' familial resemblance.
Watch + Listen: Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones "Silver Haired Daddy of Mine"
While best-known for such hits as "Cathy's Clown," "Bye Bye Love,""Wake Up Little Susie," and "All I Have to Do Is Dream," in 1958, Don and Phil Everly surprised fans when they shifted tack, paying homage to their Tennessee roots. On Songs Our Daddy Taught Us, the duo recorded a dozen folk and country tunes that reflected the brothers' musical upbringing.
And now, the unlikely duo of punk rocker and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong with jazz/pop vocalist and songwriter Norah Jones are paying tribute to the Everly Brothers' tribute. On Foreverly (out November 25, 2013), Armstrong and Jones tackle versions of traditional songs, reinterpreting the Everlys' 1958 release, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us.
"I liked the whole concept," Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone magazine, "that this was something taught to them, and now it's being taught to me. I thought it would be cool to pass the tradition one more time."
The tradition is being carried, but Armstrong and Jones are making the songs their own. "That was the key to us – not to just copy the record," Jones told Rolling Stone. "Songs like 'Down in the Willow Garden' and 'Put My Little Shoes Away' – they're such dark lyrics. We thought we'd play that up."
Plan a visit to Cleveland, and discover the artists who've made rock history at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Lawns, Ground Cover, & Wildflowers
Getting Gardens Ready for Winter (page 3 of 3)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Planting Fall Gardens
In warm areas you can still plant vegetables and flowers for winter and spring harvests. Locate your fall gardens in warmer microclimates, such as on the south side of a rock wall or in a protected nook near your house or garage. These areas are often protected from cold winds and stay warmer in the fall. In USDA zones 8 and warmer, plant vegetables such as arugula, beets, garlic, kale, lettuce, onions, peas, radishes, spinach, and Swiss chard. The greens and root crops can be harvested through the winter, while garlic and onions will mature next summer.
In all areas, spring-lowering bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be planted six weeks before you expect the ground to freeze. Transplants of snapdragons, primroses, ornamental kale and cabbage, pansies, and violas make great additions to a fall garden. In warm areas they will flower all winter, while in cold areas they may survive the winter and flower again in spring if you cover them with a thick layer of mulch.

Provo Band Ficitonist takes the Stage Saturday at the Utah Arts Festphoto courtesy of www.fictionist.com OK, you know the drill for the ArtsFest - do some early Christmas shopping while trying to feign a cutting-edge knowledge of contemporary art, start drinking beer whenever you feel like it, run into random friends and acquaintances you haven't seen since last year's ArtsFest and eventually wonder when you can see a good band.
That's where I come in - To help get you in front of the correct stage at the right time. And while it's pretty hard to make a tragic mistake, most of these groups are worth checking in for at least part of your time, here's just a few can't-miss musical events.
Ballet West - Thursday, 6:30 p.m., Festival Stage: Hey, if you're trying to appear cultured by browsing at art work all day, go the extra mile and take in some ballet - a relatively rare treat at the ArtsFest, as it's been 10 years since they've performed.
Sister Wives - Friday, 9:30 p.m., Park Stage: This infectious all-female band of local blues-rockers will fill the bill perfectly on the first weekend night of the festival. Be prepared to dance.
Fictionist - Saturday, 9 p.m., Park Stage: By now you know the story, this Provo-based rock outfit made it into the final four of Rolling Stone Magazine's cover competition. Find out why their music will make you want to go to Provo more often to see them and hope they begin playing more frequent gigs in Salt Lake.
Del McCoury Band - Sunday, 9:45 p.m., Festival Stage: Real bluegrass by a genuine bluegrass legend. In some parts of the country, being able to see such an act is common - not in Utah. Don't miss your chance. And even though it's late on a school night, Del's band is worth feeling lousy on a Monday.
Here's a clip of Del and the boys doing "Bluegrass Breakdown"

I agree that cycling coverage on TV has gone downhill in the last 5 years or so. While the volume of coverage has dramatically increased the quality of the sotry has gone away. There appears to be an obsession with "live" coverage. I do like seeing the finish of a race live but when the networks join for the last hour of a race you typically have missed the drama that has occurred earlier on to setup the current race situation. I would love to see them take the first hour or so of a two hour broadcast and recap the highlights of the race, then join the last hour live.

funny thing is that the networks seem to do that for triathlons. i am in now way a triathlete, but love watching the xterra and ironman coverage. they have in depth profiles of amateurs (human interest stories) as well as pros and keep tabs on them as the race progresses. WAY more exciting than watching 100 guys ride in a pack along the road hearing Paul and Phil go through the same material over and over and over. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE Paul and Phil. I don't think they're given much to work with.
I've almost found watching the giro coverage in Italian more exciting if only that I can try to figure what they're saying while watching!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Paul and Phil's schtick is really getting old, but I'd rather see continuous race feed than amateur competitor vignettes. Unless the footage is of an attack or other important race event, I'm not really watching actively anyhow...sort of like a baseball game playing on a bar TV.
Although they've improved a tiny bit from previous years, nobody cares about "a certain Lance Armstrong" anymore.
While I'm on my soapbox - and this is more a criticism of the channel than Paul/Phil, drop the 'TOTALLY EPIC/CYCLISM' BS with sweaty, slow-motion, thousand yard stares from anonymous cyclists. Or at least limit the melodrama to once per 30 minutes rather than transition to spin-bike advertising (it has incline and decline!).

For those commenting about coverage, the voice of the 1988 piece was Peter Rogot. He was a Denver sportscaster who LOVED cycling. He was hired by ESPN a couple years later and had a heart attack just days before he was to go on the air with them. A tragic loss.

Once you patch this in, you can also move and delete folders relatively easily with code outside the Gdata library.
Hi Matthew, Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately, before we can accept your contributions, you need to sign and submit the Zend Framework CLA. This can be found here:
Once this is done and you're added to the zf-framework-dev group in JIRA, let me know and I'll process this patch.
Hi Trevor,
My CLA has been accepted and Hilary has added my account to the contributor group. Please proceed with processing this patch. Thanks!
Thanks Matthew. A couple of suggestions/comments.
DOCUMENTS_FOLDER_FEED_URI should not have a trailing '/folder'
It would be nice to have an additional (optional) argument $resource_id for creating a folder within another folder. This is similar to creating documents in folders: http://code.google.com/apis/documents/…
public function createFolder($folderName, $folderResourceId=null) { ... if ($folderResourceId != null) { $uri = self::DOCUMENTS_FOLDER_FEED_URI . '/' . $folderResourceId; } else { $uri = self::DOCUMENTS_LIST_FEED_URI; } return $this->insertEntry($entry, $uri); }
You could additionally allow $folderResourceId to be a full URI (http://docs.google.com/feeds/folders/…)
Hi guys,
Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to this. I've implemented Eric's suggestions (thanks Eric) and have attached an updated patch.
Would be great to see this in the next release.
Cheers, Matt

Men's Soccer Loses Heartbreaker at Penn, 2-1
Box Score
PHILADELPHIA (11/9/13) - The Princeton men's soccer team had its Ivy League title hopes dashed as the Tigers lost a must-win-game at Penn, 2-1 tonight at Rhodes Field.
It was a battle of the two second-place Ivy League teams with title chances at stake. Penn, now 4-1-1 in the league will face Harvard next Saturday in what will decide the winner of the Ivy League and earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Princeton falls to 3-2-1 in the Ivy League.
Junior Cameron Porter gave Princeton the 1-0 lead in the 28th minute when he knocked in a Brendan McSherry rebound.
After a series of corner kicks, Penn evened the game on a goal by Matt Poplawski in the 43rd minute. Louis Schott sent a pass across the box as a Princeton defender got tripped up with a Quaker. Poplawski was in a perfect position to collect the ball and pop it in on the right post.
The game winner came in the 61st minute from Sam Hayward. Forrest Clancy sent the ball to a streaking Hayward and he went far post to give Penn the 2-1 lead.
The Quakers were able to hold Princeton at bay as the Tigers outshot Penn 11-6 in the second half.
After making six saves in the first 48 minutes Tyler Kinn was taken out of the game after a collision left him with an injury. Max Polkinhorne, who hadn't seen playing time since Oct. 5, came in for the final 42 minutes and made four stops. Polkinhorne denied Porter his second goal around the 65th minute and stopped a bid by Patrick O'Neil in the 86th.
Princeton senior Seth MacMillan made three saves in goal.
Princeton outshot Penn 20-12 and took 12 corner kicks to Penn's four.
The Tigers host Yale in the season finale next Saturday, Nov. 16 at 3 p.m., on Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium on Senior Day.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LP4715 Love it!!! I bought this sight unseen to go with the 2-seat Luxe Sofa. I could not be happier with my purchase. I material is super soft and looks so much nicer than it's $100 price tag. This slipcover was a great value. I highly recommend. July 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ArchiMom Beautiful, classy and cozy! Bought this a few weeks ago, and love it! Was worried it'd look cheap, but it truly doesn't! It's really soft and cozy, so the kids and the cat tend to gravitate towards it. It's perfect for curling up with a book. About the cat...I've caught her scratching her claws on the armrests a bunch of times, and while I can see lines in the velvet after she does it, once I rub it, they disappear. No picks, no real damage! I'm pretty amazed! Like it so much, I'm considering buying another for the basement! July 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by GSDGirly Nice reading sofa I love this sofa! I bought it for my bedroom. I like to read before bed, but don't always want to read in bed, so I figured I would try out this sofa. I didn't have any trouble putting this together by myself. Instructions were clear and the pieces were light enough for me to life and maneuver around. I think it took about 45 minutes to put it together. I did have to drill a new hole because there was a slight misalignment with one of the pieces. I think it's a good sofa for the price. I think I am going to try all of the different covers, to change the look of my room. March 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matthew Best slipcover yet This is my third slipcover for this sofa and this is by far the best one yet. The quality is top notch, and the velvet fabric doesn't always look wrinkled like the twill versions. October 19, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Newlyweds Slip Cover We just purchased the slipcover for both the 2 seat and 3 seat sofa. I love the color. As of right now it seems the hair from our cats is easy to remove. I love World Market! February 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Booh Very soft slipcover I love the feel of this slipcover. It is very soft, and feels luxurious to sit on. It looks much nicer than the cotton versions (which I also tried). My only issue with this one is that the color is more taupe than silver gray, which is what it looks like in the store. October 25, 2011

The mark "(learning aid)" in parentheses and white text indicates a site dedicated to providing science instruction and other educational aids for the youngsters among us.
Positive Atheism does not recommend any of these sites; you are probably smart enough to take care of yourself: you certainly don't need our advice. We list these sites as a courtesy, hoping (beyond hope) that this information might assist you to further enhance your enjoyment, heighten your awareness, and hone your abilities.
We also feature the (PAM Pick!) which indicates web sites that impressed us the last time we visited. The (PAM Pick!) is a rater of Web sites, pointing to impressive uses of the Internet as a medium; the (PAM Pick!) does speak to the site owners' work, rather, it speaks mainly to the webmaster's use of the Internet as a medium to accomplish that work.
We do not list sites which place restrictions on who may enter, including pay-to-enter sites (of course). For now, this does not include register-to-enter sites, simply because if we did, our Web Guide would be all of one screenful long. We nevertheless frown upon this and similarly intrusive Internet practices.
Our ban does include one site that bumps you to a special page if you surfed to their front page directly from certain, specific sites. (In this case, the special page slanders the originating sites!) Another one we left off our list was created by a stunningly arrogant specimen of self-flattery whose special script displays a pompous lecture if you try to visit using a certain brand of browser that he doesn't like and shame on you for not not liking it too! (Jeezis! What next!?) If you see any similar sites listed here, please contact us.
We also do not link to (but reserve the right to list) Web sites whose creators have copied and posted Positive Atheism's material without permission. We are currently considering a move to expand this ban to sites which have grabbed and mirrored material from PAM friends (eg, Internet Infidels) and those who have joined our anti-mirroring effort.
If you find one or more URL listings to be out of date (ie, you've tried on several different days) please drop me a line and I will investigate and, perhaps, hide the listing. Three asterisks (***) means that I have had trouble and am still investigating (read: still hoping). Some are simply matters of awaiting eMail replies from the site owner over mistakes, etc.
We warn about flickering banners and other intense animation because some have health problems that can be adversely affected by these things. PAM is beaucoup accessibility conscious. We warn about java (etc) errors likewise because we are into accessibility, but mostly because some systems croak when such errors occur. Better safe than sorry, we say!

If you're new here, our CEO, Wess Stafford, didn't write this post, but he did answer the question. We recorded his answer and transcribed it for your reading pleasure.
Read all the posts in the Wess Speaks series.
- Fire ants? (Kalaya G.)
I was nine. These were army ants, actually, and these things would come in streams of two or three inches wide … millions of them. As they went across the plains of Africa, everything feared them. They just migrated around. If they came to a rabbit hutch with rabbits in it, they could swarm on those rabbits, move on in a half hour, and all you would have left was bones. So we were scared to death of them.
You could see them for miles away. We would go out to meet them with fire on the end of sticks, and we would burn the leaders. They would hiss and spread out, and our hope was, when they regrouped, that they'd be angled in a different direction — not straight at our house.
We put insecticide powder all around the edge of the house to kill these things. But if they invaded your house, you had no choice but to get out. You couldn't fight them. They would go through the house and eat anything made of meat — all the spiders, all of the lizards … everything would get eaten.
I slept in my little cot with the bedposts in #10 cans of kerosene so that the ants couldn't come up and bite me. One night it was very, very hot and in my sleep I kicked my sheet off onto the floor. The ants crawled up the sheet and crawled onto me. I didn't feel a thing until one of them went across my cheek.
In my sleep I reached up, thinking it was a mosquito, and slapped it. That put them all in a panic and they all bit at once. There were hundreds of these things — I was black with ants. I screamed and I ran to my folks.
These ants don't just bite; they inject poison, so it was insanely painful. And the poison can kill you.
My folks had to pull them off of me one by one. Then I swelled up like a balloon. There was no time to get to the hospital, which was a day's drive away, so all we could do is pray that I wouldn't die.
I killed thousands of snakes as a kid. I lived among lions. But the ants were the scariest thing. So now I step on every ant I see.
To anyone who reads this blog, I need you to join me in this cause. Thank you for helping children in poverty, but my bigger cause is to step on ants! 😉
I will go all the way across the sidewalk to get one. It's a new movement. I need thousands of people to join me in this battle. I will never get even with them!

2011 Emmy Award® winner for Outstanding Historical Programming - Long Form
Sale Price:
Hurricane Katrina may well be the most exhaustively chronicled natural disaster in history. Over the course of 72 hours, a cataclysmic storm became a catastrophic flood, which in turn became an apocalyptic human tragedy. All the while, amateur videographers, news crews, government agencies, tourists, storm chasers, and countless others were recording the sights and sounds of the unfolding chaos.
Weaving together more than a hundred of these sources, Witness: Katrina reconstructs Hurricane Katrina as it happened, entirely through the eyes of those who experienced it. From Biloxi to Bay St. Louis, from Slidell to the Superdome, this two-hour special captures the storm and its aftermath in all its epic human complexityraw images of fear, grief, and anger, side by side with unforgettable moments of humor, grace, and joy. Timed to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the storm, Witness: Katrina is both a riveting documentary and an enduring documentthe portrait of a defining moment in American history.

* denotes required field
Oneway 2416 1-1/2HP Lathe
Oneway lathes are built for serious turners, with industrial-duty design and construction throughout. The massive 10-3/4" diameter tube that forms the body of the lathe provides not only great mass and stiffness, but nearly perfect torsional rigidity as well. A wide pedestal foot under the headstock stabilizes the machine regardless of the size or imbalance of any workpiece, while the open base design gives your feet unobstructed access to any position you need for inboard work. The switch is mounted on a pivoting arm that can be positioned for convenient access adjacent either headstock or tailstock. (It lets you start up safely out of the way of very large blanks, too). Oneway lathes are available in standard 36" bed or 16" shortbed configuration, with a choice of 20" or 24" swing over the ways. They're powered by your choice of 1-1/2HP, 2HP or 3HP motors.
Oneway's outstanding electronics package converts your shop's normal 220-volt, single phase input to 3-phase current within the switch, allowing constant-torque variable speed control with exceptional low-end power. The spindle turns as slowly as 30 RPM, with unstoppable power at speeds as low as 100 RPM in either forward or reverse. A three-sheave step pulley lets you choose the speed range best suited to your work: 30-800, 30-1800, or 30-3000 RPM.
The 2" diameter headstock spindle is mounted in 4 sealed ball bearings which together virtually eliminate any trace of radial or axial play. The spindle is through-bored at 5/8" diameter; the inboard nose accepts #2 Morse taper accessories. The spindle nose and the outboard spindle are both threaded at 33mm x 3.5". The headstock includes a spindle lock and a 48-position indexing head with precise tapered pin. The outboard spindle nose features right-hand thread, an unusual convenience that lets you install any of your inboard chucks or faceplates, reverse the motor, and turn outboard with the stock rotating counterclockwise. This not only saves you the expense of duplicate chucks but also allows you to turn outboard with exactly the same tools and techniques you're accustomed to using for inboard turning.
The tailstock's 1-1/2" diameter ram accepts a #3 Morse taper to accept industrial-duty accessories, such as the double-bearing multi-function live center that comes standard with the lathe. The tailstock is through-bored for 5/16" lamp augers. Standard equipment includes a 6" cast iron faceplate, 14-1/2" toolrest with 1" post, a #2 Morse taper "Safe Driver" drive center, and a commercial-duty #3 Morse taper live center.
Oneway offers you unprecedented freedom to customize your lathe. You can specify 20" or 24" swing over the ways (5" less over the banjo); 36" bed length for general turning or 16" bed specifically for bowls; motor size commensurate with the scale & intensity of your work; and spindle height above the floor to suit your own stature perfectly.
If your turning leads you toward ever larger and more ambitious work, Oneway has a lathe that will take you there and serve you well throughout your turning career. It's the closest thing yet to a lathe without limits.
Notice to residents of California: Please read our Proposition 65 warning.

Comments about Spalding King of the Beach Never Flat Volleyball:
I am a competitive player, but this volley-ball just doesn't do us players justice. After the second day, this NEVER FLAT Outdoor Composite Leather went flat. I bought two: One of them red; the other, pink. So I returned both, and recieved two new ones, but the same. About a day later, they were both flat. It was a waste of money, and I should have gone with the Tachikira. I do not recommend this product to anyone. Honestly, I feel really bad about bringing down this company's work, but its the ball that didn't work.

Reviews for Makeover Chocolate Truffle Dessert
"I've made this dessert a couple of times. Each time it's gotten rave reviews...love it! Just for the record, the "makeover" part is for time saving."
"I made this as Christmas dessert for 12 people and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and I will be making it again for New Years with friends. Excellent and, most importantly, very easy to make!"
"ok, so I didn't exactly make this recipe, I used it to create a pumpkin spice truffle dessert. I used spice cake with pumpkin added, then for the next layer I used white chocolate chips with a few milk and dark chocolate chips with pumpkin and pumpkin spice. For the whipping cream layer I used both heavy and regular whipping cream with more pumpkin and pumpkin spice and a little powdered sugar then added the chocolate-pumpkin to that. I taste tested every layer to make sure it had the correct flavors and it was delicious, can't wait to cut into this and eat it :)"
"Great recipes for chocolate lovers! Surprised so many reviews fussed about it not being a lighter versions of original. You clearly state the makeover is in time, not calories. I'm sure you could make your own substitutions to make it lower in fat etc., but then it is dessert after all."
"This recipe was so good and easy to make. Was big hit at christmas!"

ZF-7587: Amf setClass() ignores pre-initialized objects and creates new objects
I need to set paramets into the __constructor of my PHP object before passing it off to Zend to use it as a Remote Procedure Call.
This works in Zend_Json but not in Zend_Amf. To do this with the Zend_JSON class I just create my object and pass it along as $this->server->setClass($object) and it will use that object in Zend/Server/Abstract.php method _displatch for $object = $invocable->getObject();
Instead the Zend_Amf_Server class overrides the Abstract _dispatch call and ignores the class I passed it. Instead it always calls $object = $info->getDeclaringClass()->newInstance();
Thus is creates a new instance and I am unable to use dependancy injection to establish my object.
i ran into the same problem as i use dependency injection for my objects too. I wrote a simple patch that solves this issue. Please have a look ...
the patch attached
Any ideas for a good way of writing a test case for this behavior?
yes, i'm going to write one or two unit tests ..
Ok. The patch is now more than one year old and sadly i hadn't the time to setup the full Zend Framework develpoment environment together with its unit tests to write another one for this use case.
But as the comments of the implemented Zend Server Interface state the setClass method behaves currently not as expected. Passing objects should be a valid option. I appreciate if we could commit this patch to trunk.
By the way i'll contribute another patch that fixes this behavior for Zend_Rest_Server too!

The surest route to decline as we age is isolation. Older people fade away psychologically, physically and socially if they don't have the emotional or intellectual stimulation we take for granted earlier in our lives. So the after-50 version of "an apple a day" is "nurture your friendships." During our first adulthood, frantically balancing the multiple demands on our lives was (over) stimulation enough. Many of us downgraded the importance of friendships other than those that developed out of common interests (parents of kids your kids' ages) or shared space (workplace colleagues). Now that we are starting to think about the rest of our lives, though, the notion of close friends takes on renewed importance. When we ask ourselves what matters most going forward, many of us would agree that a "circle of trust" is a clear priority. You know who your friends are. They are the support group that will see you through the changes that lie ahead; they will accept your eccentricities and show up when you need them. And they will make you laugh. (If this doesn't sound familiar, you've got some serious upgrading to do.) What you may not realize is that they can also contribute to a longer life. Here are some of the ways being among our girlfriends makes us healthier:
- Research shows that when women are sharing an experience with other women, their bodies produce oxytocin, also known as the "cuddle hormone" because it is released in mothers when they're nursing. Unlike husbands or kids (who can also bring about this chemical response but are often the cause of anxiety), our friends consistently elicit that warm glow, which feels good and soothes anxiety.
- Studies of female primates conclude that the company of a small but trusted band of other females reduces damaging spikes in stress hormones. Having a circle of trust to "mop up the cortisol spills that can weaken the immune system" (as New York Times writer Natalie Angier puts it) may contribute to the fact that women live longer than men.

This is a very nice casual, lightweight, all-cotton jacket. Catalog description didn't say it was lined, so I was glad to see that it is. Fabric seemed a bit stiff at first, but after washing (dried on hanger) it relaxed. Will be perfect for my trip to Florence, Italy in April. Only thing I would change is the zipper inside the pockets -- scratchy on my hands. I'd prefer a hidden pocket on the inside of the jacket.

Comments about Nepalese Travel Jacket:
I normally buy size L, but after reading other folks' comments and looking at the sizing specs that the catalog provided, I got the XL as it seemed to run small. The sizing specs were spot on so the XL was perfect. Jackets dress up any outfit very nicely.

Lightweight means lightweight.
By texmax

I thought the quilting would be more apparent. I bought a dark color and that may account for it being less apparent. I thought the jacket would have an all over lining of the batting.

Sizing not right
By Maria Elena

About Me Casual Dresser
The sizing needs to be reviewed. The shoulders in my jacket were way too broad compared to the rest of the garments. The sleeves can be rolled up so the jacket accommodates any sleeve length. The material is a very thin cotton .

Safety video contest opens to Oregon students
Win cash for creative safety messages
(Salem) – High school students across Oregon are invited to enter the annual "Speak up. Work Safe." video contest. Teens have used special effects, humorous story lines, and creative characters to promote young worker safety and health in past videos. The top three entries will take home cash prizes ranging from $300 to $500 and students will earn a matching amount for their school.
"We just love making videos that make each other laugh," said Drew Corrigan, a 2012 first-place winner from Sisters, who created the superhero character "Safety Man" to draw attention to workplace dangers.
The Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition (O[yes]), Oregon OSHA, SAIF Corporation, American Society of Safety Engineers, Liberty Northwest, the Greater Portland Construction Partnership, and the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET), the Central Oregon Safety and Health Association, SHARP Alliance, and Hoffman Construction are sponsoring the contest.
The contest is designed to increase awareness about safety on the job for young people. Students must create a 90-second or less video with the overall theme of "Speak up. Work Safe." Specific video guidelines are outlined in the contest rules. Participants are encouraged to use humor, creativity, and share the message "Speak up. Work shouldn't cost you your future" while emphasizing ways to protect themselves at work. Submissions will be judged on the following:
The deadline for submissions is Feb. 1, 2013.
Contest winners will be unveiled at a screening event to be announced in the spring of 2013, and winning entries will be posted on YouTube. Students are encouraged to use social media to spread the word about their contest entries with the tag #Oyesvideo.
