Kate's Glamour Girl in Paris (Barbie Inspired) Birthday Party (15 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Our sweet little girl turned four! We celebrated with a Barbie in Paris inspired party with all of her little friends. Kate decided on the fashion theme and would get so excited every time she would see an Eiffel Tower on anything. We went with the traditional light pink, black and white color scheme {love it}. Vicki from Vicki Lynn Photography was on hand to capture every detail! When thinking about what she would wear, I immediately thought of the silhouette shirt by Oh Fiddlesticks that she modeled in our Glam Camping shoot. I called Melissa and asked if she could create the shirt in our colors and allow me to use their silhouette graphic in my designs. She jumped on it and made the most adorable version in pink, black and white! Kate wore a gorgeous pink pettiskirt from Pink Taffy Designs with the shirt, along with a special tiara that I picked up at the Believe Boutique.
Guests were greeted at the door by a lovely Barbie print by Robert Best {I won it from Layla Grayce last year!} framed in a gorgeous frame by The Vintage Crush and topped with a pink rose flower ball from HomeGoods.
Each girl was given a tutu made by Tiny Belles Boutique, a hair accessory by Banner Boutique and a necklace to wear. Before they were escorted upstairs for a mini makeover, they all checked out the dessert table set up in our front room.
One of my favorite elements of the dessert table was this beautiful pink Barbie cake that was created by Melissa from Decadent Delights. Inspired by the doll cakes that my mom made for my parties when I was little, it was so fun to see an updated version come to life! This Barbie was a replica of the 1977 {my birth year} doll that I bought and put away when it was being sold for Barbie's 50th Birthday! Melissa used fondant for the bodice of the dress and butter cream to make the swirls. She topped with rhinestones and edible glitter, which was so sparkly and gorgeous in person!
And what would a dessert table be without custom chocolate covered Oreos from Sweeties? Kim supplied oreos for Kate's Fairy Party last year and has now since been seen on dessert tables everywhere!
I met Terri of Terri's Treasures at the Martha Dreamers event and have been waiting for a good time to try out her products! She created perfect pink & black cake balls on black/white striped straws {adorable} along with custom silhouette cake pops! They were not only adorable, but seriously delicious.
I asked Angela from Queen of Tarts to create edible image cookies using the silhouette graphic. They turned out adorable and each girl was given one in their favor bags! She also made some of her gorgeous cameo cupcake toppers, perfect for this theme!
Charynn from Two Sugar Babies recently created the fondant cupcake toppers in various colors and our contributor, Tanya shared them with me right before the party. I had to have them! She was able to ship some off quickly for the party!
We have been working with Bundles of Cookies and the cookies blew me away when I opened the package. Look at the detail in the dress cookies! I adore the swirls! They were a hit at the party.
You can't have a Paris themed party without French macarons! These were shipped in by Crazy about Macarons. It's hard to ship the little bites of sweetness, but they arrived beautifully and tasted delicious.
My friend, Vana at Le Papier Studio whipped up an adorable print for me to display at the party. It was created from an actual picture of Kate in her pettiskirt! It will be such a cute keepsake to have from the party! The tulle pom wands were made by Adisten's Closet, along with hanging tulle pom poms!
I created new printable designs for cupcake toppers, fancy labels and favor tags for this theme {available at www.thetomkatstudio.com}. I designed all of the paper goods using the girl silhouette, along with bows, stripes and dots.
The girls were treated to a mini-makeover including hair styling and a little makeup by our lovely helpers, Courtney, Caitlin, Carly & Cassie! My helpers wore silhouette shirts by Oh Fiddlesticks to match the birthday girl!
We set up a runway outside in the backyard for the girls to do a little fashion show for all of the moms. {no boys allowed at this party!} I made topiaries for the end of the aisle using pink buckets, wood dowels and lanterns from Polka Dot Market. I hung the pink tulle poms from Adisten's Closet along with white paper medallions from Polka Dot Market in the trees.
My friend, Kristy Kay {former Fiesta Bowl Queen} gave our little guests a lesson on walking the catwalk! It was so adorable. After a practice run, we brought all of the moms out to give them a little show!

The value of jettisoning Beasley into space
The indignation in response to the rumor that the Heat essentially had offered Michael Beasley to the Nets for cap space is understandable. (Especially since it has since been confirmed that the Heat never made such an offer.)
After all, 14.8 points and 6.4 rebounds per game are tangible numbers.
Cap space? A mere abstract.
But appreciate that to a team operating below the salary cap, cap space is not illusory. It is very real.
The $5 million in space Beasley occupies for next season could be turned into a $5 million player (or a bit more with a bit of creative tinkering). Such is not the case with a team operating above the cap, which the Heat had been for years.
What matters most is perspective, as to what $5 million gets you in today's NBA.
So while none of these players are free agents next season, a brief look at the list of players who will earn roughly $5 million next season, to offer perspective on what such space offers in today's NBA economy.
- Mike Bibby, $5.6 million
- Kendrick Perkins, $4.6 million.
- Daniel Gibson, $4 million
- DeShawn Stevenson, $4.1 million
- Chris Andersen, $3.9 million
- Jason Maxiell, $5 million
- Ronny Turiaf, $4 million
- Luke Walton, $5.3 million
- Marc Gasol, $3.6 million
- Carlos Delfino, $3.5 million
- Ramon Sessions, $3.9 million
- Thabo Sefolosha, $3 million
- Michael Pietrus, $5.3 million
- Channing Frye, $2.1 million
- Grant Hill, $3.2 million
- Martell Webster, $3.8 million
- Carl Landry, $3 million
- Antonio McDyess, $4.9 million
- Andray Blatche, $3.3 million
The list excludes players on the rookie scale, whose salaries are kept somewhat artificially low.
The list above does not overwhelm.
But that is not the point. The point is that with so many free agents this summer, and with much of the money targeted to a few specific players, there will be bargains available, $5 million bargains.
But Beasley purely for space? That's a bit tough to swallow.
Beasley and dumping some bad money, such as James Jones' buyout? That's another story. Then you can start to list $7 million players, a much more palatable list.
Still, there is a sense that management is over the Michael Beasley experience.
Nonetheless, a party close to the situation said Beasley-for-space isn't an issue for now, because the Heat did not offer the 2008 first-round pick to the Nets in the reported deal.
But it remains food for thought.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: a poignant, profound kids' book (for everyone); a book on CD about messing up and finding oneself; and a gritty mystery set in Albuquerque.
Wonder by R. J. Palacio
The theme, facing life with a major facial deformity, is of particular fascination to me. (I have two friends who faced this challenge by becoming successful storytelling performers.) I don't think of myself as vain but am grateful I don't look weird. August does, in spades. He's been home schooled by very good parents, so far, but it's time for 5th grade, and what a petri dish of potential bullying and isolation that can be (even for "regular" kids). We get August's perspective in some chapters, and those of his friends and his younger brother in others. All the voices are distinct and pitch-perfect for their ages. This book is categorized as juvenile fiction but I think it's profound and worthy of a read whatever your age.
While I'm Falling by Laura Moriarty
It's hard to witness a character's plunge into mistake after mistake, and Veronica, a college student, is in deep. A pre-med, she can't seem to grasp organic chemistry. An RA in her dorm, she studiously avoids her duty and her charges, including pathetic, needy Marley. Meanwhile, her mother Natalie is on her own downward spiral, having been caught in a romantic indiscretion and booted out of the house by her tough lawyer husband of many years. As Veronica makes even worse impulsive decisions (I kept wanted to shout, "don't do it!") I had trouble seeing how these messes could resolve with any grace. But the underlying theme is the need to be true to one's self and the grotesquery of trying to fit other's preconceptions, especially her dense, ambitious father's. I listened to this in the car and so caught up in the family maelstrom, it was difficult to put the compelling story on hold each time I'd arrived at my destination.
The Missing Person by Alix Ohlin
In some ways, Albuquerque is a central character in this book, that gritty, benighted, unsung contrast to precious, fabled Santa Fe. Lynn has fled to NYC but her brother Wylie is acting strange and her mother calls for help.Turns out he's part of an odd, loose eco-terrorist collective. Among them is Angus who exudes considerable animal magnetism and tough Czech immigrant Irina with her baby Psyche. Lynn ends up hanging out with this unwashed bunch, even going along on some of their crazy forays. She and Angus conduct their loose, steamy affair primarily in sleazy motels. The grand finale has tragic elements. Knowing the city (my sister lives there) I loved reconnecting with it on the page and falling into a screwy, picaresque scene that would make me very nervous in "real life."
Back next Monday.

What will it cost me?
· The retainers that concierge docs charge annually range from about $1100 to $2100, although some doctors in mega-bucks neighborhoods charge much more.
· Note that there are also direct-pay docs who accept fees on a month-to-month basis, but they do not provide all of the amenities described in the next column.
What is usually included?
· The annual comprehensive wellness physical, including a blood panel and in some practices, multiple screenings and tests.
· 24/7 access to physician by cell phone, email and text.
· Same-day office visits, with little or no waiting
· Care from your own physician if you get sick when you're out of town.
· Plenty of time to talk over routine concerns during office visits
· Easily accessed and meticulously maintained electronic medical records, sometimes available to you on line, always ready to be sent to specialists or the ER.
· Facilitated referrals to specialists, meaning that your doctor will contact other doctors for you, arrange your appointments, discuss your case in detail with the specialist, and follow up with you about your visit to the specialist.
· Assistance you're your physician in obtaining pre-authorization and pinpointing the best specialist in network with your health care provider.
· Focus on preventive medicine, rather than reactive medicine
· In some practices, but definitely not all, a concierge doc will also care for your post-pediatrician-age child, up to age 26, included in your retainer fee.
· Some docs offer online services such as medical information, prescription refills, secure online e-mail with one's personal physician, online lab results and access to digital x-ray reports and images
What is not included in the concierge retainer?
· The co-payment for office visits, except for the annual comprehensive physical. (Usually, your co-payment is listed on the plastic insurance card you keep in your wallet. My co-payment, for instance, for my individual Anthem PPO Saver plan is $30 per office visit.)
· Lab tests, scans and screenings conducted in facilities outside the concierge practice.
· Appointments with specialists
· Procedures, surgery and hospitalization, including visits to the emergency room.
How can signing on with concierge doctor save me money?
· You may be able to switch to a high-deductible health insurance policy, thus reducing your monthly payments. (See: "What kind of health insurance plans work with concierge medicine?," below, for more on this.)
· By making fewer referrals to specialists for problems that a primary care doctor is completely capable of treating. Among the physicians you may not need to see: Allergists for hay fever, dermatologists for rashes, ENTs for sinus infections.
· By ordering fewer scans, tests and procedures, including ultrasounds, CT scans, X-rays, MRIs and biopsies. This means having fewer bills to pay, until you meet your deductible and out of pocket maximum. Another benefit: You may avoid a high-dose radiation procedure, such as a CT scan.
· Because the concierge doc will coordinate all your care, there is less possibility that tests will be duplicated if you are seeing more than one specialist.
· You may avoid unnecessary trips to the emergency room at your local hospital, since you can call your concierge doc for advice and consultation at any time.
· Easy access to your physician may mean that you seek fewer sessions with alternative medicine practitioners.
· Because your physician is available to consult with your pharmacist, you will have better control of prescription costs. For instance, you might be able, for instance, to split a higher-potency tablet in half rather than paying for double the number of pills. Other worthwhile conversations include discussion of potential drug interactions, or the possibility of switching to a generic drug instead of paying the premium for the brand name. You save by getting drug selections and dosages right the first time, and not having to muster an additional prescription drug co-pay. Some doctors have arrangements with pharmacies that result in discounted prescriptions medications.
· Being able to see your doctor right away may result in fewer days when you have to call in sick to work – because you hope to get in to see your doctor.
· No sitting around waiting rooms may mean less exposure to flu germs.
How do I find a concierge doctor?
· Although some concierge docs operate independently, most work with consulting firms that also provide management services to their practices. They are happy to provide you with referrals in your area.
Here are several:
· MDVIP,a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, is the largest of such firms, and provides an excellent doctor search function on its website.
What kind of health insurance plans work with concierge medicine?
· Concierge physicians are doctors in private practice. The way their practices are structured, in addition to your retainer, they expect to collect your insurance co-pay. They also expect you to carry a health insurance policy covering, at the very least, catastrophic situations.
· In most cases, to use a concierge docs services, you need to belong to either a PPO or a corporate health insurance plan that allows you to choose your doctor. (HMOs don't work in conjunction with concierge practices.) And, the concierge doc you choose must be a participating provider within the plan's physician network.
· Whether you are self-employed, like me, and have an individual policy – typically a PPO you pay for monthly -- or work for a corporation that picks up some percentage of your health insurance, you are responsible for the co-pay for all office visits to your retainer-based doc, except the annual comprehensive wellness exam.
· Concierge docs provide immediate and comprehensive consultation, and can often treat routine ailments without referral to a specialist. Patients who sign on with concierge docs often find that they can select a high-deductible policy – what is known as catastrophic medical insurance – thus reducing monthly payments. Making this choice means that you have financial protection, in case of catastrophic expenses resulting from hospitalization, specialists and medications.
· A high-deductible policy is a good choice ONLY if you have access to sufficient funds to cover the deductible and the maximum out-of-pocket for office visits, prescriptions and hospitalizations

"I followed the directions for this cake exactly like it said, and it turned out flat as a pancake. Though it did have a nice flavor, I would not recommend this recipe."
"I would recommend this recipe to adults and teenagers who are interested in decorating and making. It could be something to do with there future. They learn from there Parents. :)"
"This is the cake recipe that my 11-yr-old daughter made for her cake decorating class. It filled out a 10 in round pan and consistently made a white dense, moist cake that held up well to the rigors of her decorating attempts. It was made with both the almond extract and substituting vanilla for the almond extract. The adults preferred the almond. The kids liked the all vanilla. Either way, a good, reliable cake that was a PERFECT platform for decorating."
"I have made this several times, and every time, it has been delicious. My family loves it."

LOOK3 2011: Med Co BD Hosts Conversation On Global Health Photo Opportunities
Medical equipment company BD hosted a conversation at LOOK3 this morning about the the opportunities that exist in the global health industry for photographers who wish to make a difference in that field.
At the breakfast conversation led by MaryAnne Golon, which took place adjacent to a gallery where BD was exhibiting prints from its first Hope For a Healthy World photo competition, photographers in the audience were urged to consider specializing in global health issues and were given several practical tips on how to create projects that would appeal to a global health industry that is thirsty for images to use in their advertising, advocacy and communications efforts.
Golon, who consults with BD on their visual communications, pointed out that there is room for a subset of photographers focused on global health to grow, develop and find funding for work, an assertion echoed by BD representatives who attended the talk. "It's not about selling their sickness," Golon said. "It's about raising awareness [for the health issues people face]."
Coalition-building—finding multiple supporters among NGOs, healthcare companies and other interested parties, from equipment and travel sponsors to individual donors who are passionate about a particular issue—is a major part of what photographers need to do to fund and distribute their work, said Miki Johnson, who works on communications for the photography crowd-funding site Emphas.is.
Mischa Friedman, a photographer who teaches a class on collaborating with NGOs at the International Center of Photography, encouraged photographers "to ask NGOs what their issues are this year" as a way to find relevant stories to tell. He also said photographers should find focused, manageable stories to tell, rather than trying for broad or general topics.
Carlos Cazalis, who received an award for Best Global Health image in the BD competition for an image of a Hatian Cholera patient, told the audience that getting model releases and the names and ages of subjects they photograph were essential to selling images to NGOs and healthcare companies.
Later Cazalis urged photographers to realize the added value they can offer NGOs and healthcare companies by providing them information from the field. Photographers often get close to and spend time with their subjects, and what they learn can be a great source of information for potential clients and partners.
Golon pointed out that though a photographer might be able to write eloquently about a project for which they are seeking funding, they need to be able to show images to a potential supporter or sponsor. A photographer may want to photograph a health issue in Senegal, but they can likely find local people in the US affected by a health problem and photograph them as a way to begin exploring an issue and creating photographs that can be used to apply for further funding. A case in point, she said, is photographer Justin Maxon's work documenting a community outside Philadelphia that suffers from high cancer rates and no access to healthcare.
Friedman later pointed out that photographers' "task is to go beyond clichés" to engage viewers, something harsh images from foreign locales sometimes don't allow, because they can be difficult for a general audience to relate to or look at.

Discovering Off-Malecon in Vallarta
Published May 27, 2008 - (Updated Dec 5, 2012)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2008 issue.
Every city has its hidden corners, its unseen treasures. While sculpture is featured on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta, those who know the city suggest that you not stop there. In fact, some of the more interesting corners are off the main drag.
This piece focuses on Vallarta's off -Malecon sculptures, as well as tidbits and stories related to them. We chose not to include statues or busts, plastic or fiberglass installations, sculptures that are within a commercial space such as a hotel or restaurant, or those not easily accessible to the public. As most of them are located in or near downtown, you can locate them on our walking map.
Los Muertos Beach: Rafael Zamarripa
Young Rafael Zamarripa was still a teenager when he won the prize for sculpture at Bellas Artes in Mexico City. Shortly thereafter, the Jalisco native's design for Boy and Seahorse (El Caballito) was created, and then installed on Playa Los Muertos in 1970. For years, the innocent boy on the seahorse has been one of the symbols of this seacoast town. Even today, it is certainly one of the most frequently photographed. The original sculpture on Los Muertos was "lost" twice in storms, once inexplicably showing up in the basement of a prominent Vallartan home. (The second one, on the Malecon, was installed in 1976, although the installation was modified after Hurricane Kenna in 2002.)
Marina Vallarta: Octavio González
A noteworthy greeting for those arriving to Puerto Vallarta is the Whale and Calf sculpture by Octavio Gonzalez at the entrance to Marina Vallarta. Inaugurated in March 2001, the Guinness-nominated piece weighs 12 tons and measures 13 meters in length and 8.9 meters in height, balancing on a flipper surface of less than a square meter. Winter residents of Banderas Bay, humpback whales give birth in the safety of our bay. Conceived in the early '90s, the four-year project is Octavio's homage to women, who not only conceive life but also devote themselves unconditionally to the family.
Isla Río Cuale: Ignacio Granados, Antonio Nava and John Huston
Two sculptures by students of the Escuela Nacional de Pintura Escultura y Grabado de la Esmeralda (Esmeralda National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking) are located on Isla Rio Cuale. Installed in 1997, Espacio Tiempo Movimiento (Space Time Movement) by Ignacio Granados was recently refurbished and painted, removing graffiti and the results of years of neglect. Toward the cultural center on the east end of the island, it is the tall, white modern sculpture on the north side. The other sculpture is located just before the steps leading up to the pedestrian bridge on the west end of the island. Designed by Antonio Nava, the "prehistoric" Marco Solar (Sun Path) was created in 1987 and inaugurated in 1997, along with Espacio Tiempo Movimiento. Both were sponsored by City Hall, in conjunction with the hotel and motel association. The John Huston statue just beyond the entrance to Le Bistro restaurant was dedicated in 1988, commemorating the 25th anniversary of the late director's 1963 filming of "The Night of the Iguana" in nearby Mismaloya. Present at the inauguration were several cast members of "Revenge," including Kevin Costner and Anthony Quinn. In March 2002, Huston's son, actor/director Danny Huston, got married in front of the statue.
All Around Town: Ramiz Barquet
Hands down, the artist with the largest number of public sculptures is Ramiz Barquet, best known for the Malecon favorite, Nostalgia, which was inspired by his re-discovery of Nelly, his childhood sweetheart, now his wife. Incidentally, the current Moon Handbook's "Guide to Puerto Vallarta 2007" features Barquet's "Nostalgia" on the cover. But each of his sculptures has its own story:
El Pescador, 1996
Located at the confl uence of Libertad and Agustín Rodríguez streets, the Fisherman was donated by Nelly Barquet and inaugurated in 1996. Ramiz calls this "fisherman/poet" Isidro, a deeply spiritual man who alternated fishing with music, singing to the stars. Several years ago, an unknown assailant apparently was surprised while cutting through the fishing line with a hacksaw and tossed the fish into the nearby brush, where it was later recovered. Since bronze is not easily soldered, it took some time before the fish returned to its original spot at the end of the line.
Tiburón en Espiral, 1996
A Shark in Spiral, a monument to cooperative forces that allow positive change in a community, was installed at a small plazuela on Pulpito between El Dorado and La Palapa restaurants on Los Muertos Beach in 1996. Calling the sculpture Gaspar, after his compadre don Gaspar Elizondo, Ramiz was saddened by the news of his friend's death shortly after the inauguration. In this, his most non-representational piece, the author honors the shark, reminding us that not all things are as they seem.
La Rinconada del Juglar, 1999
When Ramiz lived downtown, he noticed that trash was often discarded at the foot of the stairs that climb the hill from Hidalgo Street. Conceiving the Minstrel Corner with the aid of friend and engineer Rafael Mijares (co-designer of the Anthropological Museum in Mexico City), a drainage system was designed beneath the street, while a seating area was created for passersby at Hidalgo and Galeana. The trend encouraged further development of the beautiful garden settings along this quiet street three blocks up from the Malecon.
Un Niño, un Libro, un Futuro, 2000
Thoroughly convinced that education is key to the future, Ramiz created A Boy, a Book and a Future to honor the contribution the Los Mangos Library makes to the youth of the city. The young orphan "Juan" is finding his way out of poverty by reading, fervently believing the words of his adoptive father, don Plácido, that knowledge is power. Studious "Juan plus Juan" is teased by his more playful friends, but also acquires the wisdom to give him greater understanding. The sculpture is located outside the library gates on Francisco Villa in Los Mangos.
Familia de Cuatro, 2003
As a symbol of the strength of the family within the culture, Ramiz donated the Family of Four for the inauguration of the new DIF (Desarrollo Integral de la Familia, or family development) headquarters in Aurora. He tells the story of the first model he created with a family of three. It was immediately purchased by a visitor, who a year later returned to announce that his family had grown to four. Several models were made, but this one was the final choice for the installment.
Alegria de Vivir, future
The joyful flautist is dedicated to the memory of Guillermo Wulff, architect and first husband of Ramiz' wife, Nelly. Planned for installation in Marina Vallarta, arguably one of Wulff 's greatest contributions to Vallarta, the happy-go-lucky dancer symbolizes Guillermo's "joie de vivre." Watch for the announcement of the inauguration.
Barquet has another sculpture, San Pascual, on hand for installation on the new Malecon, near Vitea Restaurant, as soon as donations for funding are fulfilled. Contact Gary Thompson at Galeria Pacifico for more information.

16th-Ranked Women's Lacrosse Rallies But Falls At Top-Ranked Maryland 15-9
Box Score
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (4/10/13) - A second-half surge by the 16th-ranked Princeton women's lacrosse team fell short Wednesday night, as the top-ranked Maryland Terrapins used a strong start to remain undefeated with a 15-9 victory over the Tigers.
Junior Caroline Franke made a career-high 13 saves in goal for the Tigers and thwarted two of the Terrapins' three free-position attempts. Sophomore Erin McMunn had a four-point game with two goals and two assists but more impressively had nine draw controls. It is the most draw controls in a game since Abigail Gutstein had nine against West Chester in 1995. Gutstein holds the record of 10.
Senior Sam Ellis and junior Sarah Lloyd both scored twice and freshman Alexandra Bruno had a goal and an assist.
Maryland (15-0) jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the game, prompting Princeton (7-4) to call a timeout.
McMunn put Princeton on the scoreboard at 19:03 when she dodged on the left side to the goal.
The Tigers would go cold for the next 6:30 as Maryland rattled off three more goals to take a 7-1 edge.
McMunn found a cutting Bruno to make it 7-2 and end the drought at 12:32.
Maryland's leading scorer Alex Aust scored a free-position goal at 8:02 before Schwarzmann capped off the first half with a goal in the final minute as the Terps took an 9-2 lead into the locker room.
Aust tallied the first goal of the second half but the Terrapins would go quiet for the next 6:42 as the Tigers mounted a comeback.
Princeton rattled off four straight goals in the next 4:03 to cut its deficit to just four, 10-6 at 18:33. Lloyd and Ellis both converted on free-position attempts, senior Jaci Gassaway scored an unassisted goal off the bench and junior Mary-Kate Sivilli scored on a feed from McMinn.
Beth Glaros halted the Tigers' run as she scored twice around McMunn's second goal to put Maryland back up by five, 12-7.
Schwarzmann and Ellis traded goals 20 seconds apart, and then the nets stilled as neither team could get by the opposing defense for more than 10 minutes.
Halle Majorana broke the scoreless stretch with 4:45 remaining and Aust chipped in another exactly one minute later.
Llloyd tallied the final goal of the game at 2:09.
Aust had a seven-point game with three goals and four assists. Majorana added three goals and one assist, while Schwarzmann and Glaros each had a hat trick. Kasey Howard made six saves in net.
Maryland outshot Princeton 36-19 in the game. The Tigers were 3 for 3 on eight-meter attempts and won 15 draws to Maryland's 11.
The Tigers host Harvard on Saturday, April 13 at 1 p.m., as Princeton continues its Ivy League journey.

GENERIC NAME: etidronate
BRAND NAME: Didronel
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Etidronate is in a class of drugs called bisphosphonates that is used for treating osteoporosis (reduced density of bone that leads to fractures) and bone pain from diseases such as metastatic breast cancer, multiple myeloma, and Paget's disease. The bisphosphonate class includes alendronate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), pamidronate (Aredia), risedronate (Actonel), and tiludronate (Skelid). Bone is in a constant state of remodeling; new bone is laid down by cells called osteoblasts while old bone is removed by cells called osteoclasts. Bisphosphonates strengthen bone by inhibiting bone removal by osteoclasts. After menopause, there is an increased rate of bone loss leading to osteoporosis, and etidronate has been shown to increase bone density and decrease fractures of bones. The FDA approved etidronate in September 1977.

March 21, 2013
DES MOINES, Iowa – With one day of competition in the books at the NCAA Wrestling Championships, three Sun Devils remain alive but all will finish out the tournament in the consolation bracket following losses on the first day in Des Moines, Iowa.
Kevin Radford (184), Jake Meredith (197) and Levi Cooper all survived to see another day on Thursday, though redshirt freshman Blake Stauffer was eliminated from the competition after two losses.
Radford earned his first career NCAA victory following a first round win over Penn's Canaan Bethea. Radford lost to Bethea earlier this season but rebounded with a 4-3 victory in Des Moines to advance to the round of 16.
Unfortunately, things didn't get easier for the redshirt sophomore as he would go head-to-head with the nation's top-ranked and undefeated Ed Ruth of Penn State. Ruth earned his second pin in as many matches against Radford, knocking him to the consolation bracket at the 3:42 mark.
The tournament being double-elimination, Radford now has no wiggle room as he gets set to take on Illinois' Tony Delgado for a chance to stay alive.
Ninth-seeded Meredith handled Chattanooga's Nikolas Brown, 3-1, in his opener to advance to a rematch against Penn's No. 8 Micah Burak in the round of 16. Burak had defeated Meredith earlier this season and got the upper-hand over the senior again on Wednesday, taking the victory in the second tiebreaker by a score of 3-2 to knock Meredith out of the championship bracket.
Meredith will take on Maryland's Christia Boley tomorrow for an opportunity to remain in the competition.
Levi Cooper staved off elimination after losing his first-round matchup to Pitt's ninth-seeded Zac Thomusseit by a score of 6-0. Faced with a win-or-go-home contest against Cleveland State's Riley Shaw, Cooper handled his business in an 8-0 major decision to advance to tomorrow's battle against Wisconsin's seventh-seeded Connor Medbery.
Things didn't go as well for Stauffer, who was upset in his first-round matchup against Northern Illinois' Matt Mougin. Mougin defeated the 11th-seeded Stauffer, 4-2, to place the freshman in a rematch of the Pac-12 Championship final, where he had to take on CSU Bakersfield's Bryce Hammond. Like the Pac-12 final, Hammond shut down Stauffer in a 4-0 decision to end the Missouri native's tournament hopes before the first day was through.
The tournament will resume tomorrow with ASU's three remaining competitors. All rounds of the competition will be broadcast in some form via the ESPN Family of Networks with the majority of the events taking place on ESPN3 throughout the day.

With Full Boat, Womens Lightweights Ready To Charge Radcliffe At IRAs
IRA SCHEDULE WITH LANES & HEATS l PRINCETON IRA HISTORYPaul Rassam has believed that his team had the potential for a special season. Injuries and other forms of adversity got in the way, but Princeton may just find a completed boat when it competes for the IRA national championship this weekend.
While there is plenty of youth in the boat, including three sophomores and a pair of freshmen, there is also some returning experience. While Alex Morss was part of the varsity eight that won the 2011 Eastern Sprints championship, fellow classmate Olivia Panaccio Tresham has returned from an injury that kept her out of the boat for the majority of the season.
Princeton got a taste of its main competition late this season, with losses to No. 1 Radcliffe at both the Lightweight Invitational and the Eastern Sprints. While the Tigers made up some ground at Sprints, they know the challenge will be a great one when they face both Radcliffe and three-time reigning champion Stanford this weekend.
Princeton will start the weekend in the second heat on Friday (8:45 am Pacific), racing against Stanford, Bucknell and MIT. The top six boats will return to Lake Natoma at 11:35 Sunday for the grand final. Princeton will also race a lightweight four, which will go for gold at 9 am Sunday.
Based on the team's performance on Cooper River in early May, Rassam is very optimistic about the competitive fire Princeton will bring this weekend, when it looks to shake up the field and bring home its first IRA championship since 2003.
"I thought we showed a lot of poise," Rassam said of Princeton's performance at Eastern Sprints. "I think everything is going in the right direction at the right time. You are never exactly sure how some young athletes will perform in a championship race, but I thought they performed like veterans. I think we have a pretty cool group in those freshmen and sophomores."

ZF-1921: Zend_Validate_Hostname does not accept umlauts for com-TLD
Zend_Validate_Hostname does not accept german umlauts for .com-TLDs.
Reproduce code:
require_once('Zend/Validate/Hostname.php'); $validator = new Zend_Validate_Hostname(Zend_Validate_Hostname::ALLOW_DNS,true); $host = utf8_encode('www.möhrke.com'); if ($validator->isValid($host)) { echo "PASS!"; } else { echo "FAIL!
"; foreach ($validator->getMessages() as $message) { echo "$message
"; } }
FAIL! 'www.möhrke.com' appears to be a DNS hostname but cannot match against hostname schema for TLD 'com' 'www.möhrke.com' does not appear to be a valid local network name 'www.möhrke.com' appears to be a local network name but but local network names are not allowed
Oh, by the way, www.möhrke.com is a valid hostname and connected ;-)
Assigned to Darby
I am afraid .com domains are not currently set up to accept international characters. The only TLDs currently set up are: * at * ch * li * de * fi * hu * no * se
I will look into the characters accepted for .com's and will see if I can implement this.
Darby, how do I get an unordered list
- onto the documentation page at:
The list of current IDN supported domains needs to be more obvious than is currently the case.
Hi Simon; try the {{}} DocBook tag. You can search in your framework working copy for other documentation files having this tag for examples.
So far I cannot find a list of characters accepted for an IDN .com domain so I won't be able to implement this for the next ZF release (v1.0.2)
I'll carry on looking, but if anyone has any suggestions please do post here :-)
Documentation updated in revision 6423, this issue will be left open since I need to look into .com IDN support
New feature implemented with r14532

ZF-2724: Error supression on calls to loadClass across ZF obscuring parse errors
Hi this relates to error suppressed calls on loadClass by numerous components. See grep -R "@Zend_Loader::loadClass" trunk|grep -v ".svn" So I thought it best to log it here.
As the grep reveals, there are a number of "@Zend_Loader::loadClass" calls across the library. I just spent 30 minutes trying to track down why I had a blank page and no error log messages.
After resorting to: echo "Got this far stabbing in the dark without a flipping error message" in umpteen files, I finally tracked it down to Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::createRow() in this case which was calling "@Zend_Loader::loadClass" on my subclassed version of Zend_Db_Table_Row and supressing the message "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ';' " - something I'd expect to fix in a second not half an hour littering my files with markers to track it down.
Sorry if my tone sounds peeved but I'd previously been burnt by this same practice occurring in Zend_Loader itself, see: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2463
This is really frustrating. It's like some kind of copy/paste propagated virus in ZF :D I hope this practice specifically on class loading can be stamped out once and for all. I see no reason why parse errors should ever be suppressed.
Assigning and unsetting fix version priority until this issue has been reviewed.
I couldn't agree more - a standard library (or framework) should not, ever, silence errors on it's own (unless, possibly, they can be handled gracefully). I spent almost half an hour looking for the culprit, nummerous misplaced @s in Zend_Db_*. It makes it almost impossible to debug.
On top of this, the @ operator slows things down a great deal as this is what really happens:
$old = ini_set("error_reporting", 0); ... ini_set("error_reporting", $old);
Since I removed the @s in Zend for my current project, I could easily produce a patch if needed.
Grr I just spent over an our trying to work out why my script died on $myTable->createRow($data);
It turns out my _rowClass object had a parse error in it cause I was implementing a interface that didn't quite match fully. But the dam @Zend_Loader::loadClass($this->_rowClass); on line 1126 of Zend_Db_Table_Abstract stopped me from seeing the parse error!
Hope this will get fixed soon.
I resolved ZF-2985 today. Please tell me if ZF-2985 causes something wrong.
I'd like to rise the priority of this. I'd personally like to see it raised to blocker but I start with critical.
Resolved in r12770; however, this represents a slight change in behavior, and is also dependent on changes introduced for ZF-2923 committed with r12769, and will not release until 1.8.0.

|We climbed Eolus with my brother first, and he left his trekking poles just before the catwalk. When we came down from Eolus, his trekking poles (actually he was borrowing mine, completely new and with flowers!) were gone. There was only one couple in front of us, so we decided to chase them and get trekking poles back. They are were down, about 40 min descent for us, and then we climbed back to ascent North Eolus. So, we definitively deserved this peak :)

Long Road, pop-gospel of the Prayer Warriors and acoustic singer-songwriter Noah Budin will perform. The Rock Hall is proud to partner with Cain Park for this event. Additional details are available at cainpark.com
The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was billed as three days of peace and music. Over the course of a weekend—August 15 to 17, 1969—it defined a generation, landmarked an era and validated the ethos of a movement. The weekend hosted performances from an unprecedented array of artists, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, the Band, Santana, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Sly and the Family Stone and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, along with Joe Cocker, Arlo Guthrie, Johnny Winter, Joan Baez and Richie Havens.

Rock Hall Main Stage – 1 – 3 p.m.
• Long Road formed in 2007, initially for the purpose of preserving and performing the songs of the late-'60s singer-songwriters. The group has vastly expanded its repertoire, but still plays much '60s music, and arranges all of its songs to sound like the acoustic music of that era. Long Road has performed concerts at Cain Park, Nighttown and many other local venues. Long Road is David Budin (guitar, vocals), Kevin Richards (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Bob Sandham (guitar, pedal steel, vocals), Celia Hollander Lewis (guitar, banjo, autoharp, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, Irish harp, bowed psaltery, vocals), Charlie Lewis (guitar, mandolin, banjo, vocals) and Ray DeForest (bass).
• The Prayer Warriors "Inspirational Groove" runs the gamut from Amazing Grace to Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" (and includes such songs as "I Can See Clearly Now," "Love Train" and "Rockin' in Jerusalem"). This award-winning group took the non-traditional route to become one of the most dynamic groups around. The group has also performed backup for many artists, including Diana Ross, Foreigner, Josh Groban and Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul & Mary), and local artists including the Colin Dussault Blues Project and Walkin' Cane.
• Noah Budin has been a singer-songwriter since he was in high school. He was a member of the Chicago based a capella music and comedy group Four Guys Standing Around Singing during the 1980s and '90s. The group toured nationally, performing on college campuses (winning the "Entertainer of the Year" award three years in a row from the National Association of Campus Activities), at summer festivals, state fairs and corporate events. They opened for or headlined with artists including Jerry Seinfeld, Rich Little, Janeane Garofalo and Chubby Checker.
• Woodwind instrumentalist Rob Williams was born and raised in Stockton, CA. He arrived in Cleveland in 1990 and that year, he launched the Afro Cleveland Orchestra, a jazz-fusion group that still performs. Rob is a dedicated and well-traveled musician who has won the Free Times award for Best Horn Player. Equally adept on flute, clarinet and alto, tenor and soprano sax, Rob is well-versed in many musical genres, including blues, jazz, rock, R&B, calypso, reggae, ska, soca, salsa and other African-based rhythms. He has performed and recorded since the mid-'90s with the Swing Lizards and traveled widely with the Mike Petrone Quartet.

The sun rises over Canyons
Where are all the women skiers? Canyons' guide, Dana Edwards, asked this very question when her First Tracks ski groups were filling up with mostly men. And maybe I know why.
It is pitch black and icy cold at 7 a.m. in Park City. Even in late March. I break every rule of eco-awareness by running my engine in Canyons parking lot to heat the car as I change into my frozen, stiff ski boots.
But the sting of the cold is bearable because I'm taking the morning off. With a slight pang of guilt, I am stealing a morning away from my job, my family, my friends and my endless to-do list to rip down perfectly-groomed ski runs at Canyons before it opens for the public.
Like many working women, it's rare for me to play. Add my scarcity of lady friend skiers and a slopeside romance with my snowy peaks each winter is lacking. Is this why Dana's groups are missing "chicks on sticks" (coined by her snowmaking manager)?
Well, last week's inaugural Ladies Only First Tracks is the exception. As the sun finally pops up to greet us, the 12 of us—all upper-intermediate to expert level skiers—are ushered up the mountain at high-speed in an orange bubble carriage, aptly named Orange Bubble Express.
Olympian and Canyons Resort Ambassador, Holly Flanders, introduces herself.
It takes a couple runs for my body—and my nerve—to warm up. My guilt subsides when my cheeks are zapped with mountain air and my ski edges zipper across the corduroy.
By our third run, I realize how lucky I am to shred with these fine ladies, including two two-time Olympians, Holly Flanders and Kaylin Richardson.
Kaylin gets recognized from her Warren Miller films by her Astis Mittens.
Our First Tracks adventure finishes off with a hearty breakfast at their mid-mountain Red Pine Lodge. Coffee, bacon, oatmeal, eggs, fresh fruit and from-scratch biscuits replenish a skiers tummy for the next round of runs.
Not a bad way to end my ski season. On my to-do list for next season? More ladies-only ski adventures.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
Lawn Mower Savvy (page 5 of 5)
by Frank A. Viggiano and National Gardening
It has been widely reported in recent years that typical lawn mowers are relatively more polluting than a modern car. Mowing a lawn for half an hour with a gasoline engine makes as much smog as driving a new car 170 miles. Gasoline-powered garden equipment accounts for 5 percent of all U.S. air pollution. California has regularly introduced tough new emission standards. The cleanest power mowers are the solar/electric. Battery and 110-volt electric mowers are next. Gasoline engines with overhead valves are less polluting than those with side valves. Mowers powered by two-stroke engines, for which gasoline and oil are mixed prior to ignition, are dirtiest.
Deadman Switch
Since 1982 all mowers have been equipped with a blade break system or deadman switch. This device stops the spinning blade within three seconds of release of the handle. This safety feature has definitely reduced injuries. (Older mowers that remain in use were not required to be retrofitted.) Some blade brake systems stop both the engine and the blade whenever you move your hands from the handle. More expensive and sophisticated mowers stop only the blade. This is a very convenient feature that will save you several restarts, considering how often you'll need to empty the bag or otherwise leave the mower momentarily. This is especially advantageous if the mower is also self-propelled. You can allow the machine to run and move under its own power when taking it from the garage to your yard without engaging the blade.
Dr. Frank A Viggiano, Jr. is an outdoor power equipment consultant and a professor of consumer services at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania.

Maps for sale at various levels of detail from the German mapping authority.
Atlas des Deutschen Reichs - An Atlas of the German Empire
The Atlas des Deutschen Reichs by Ludwig Ravenstein is relatively rare in libraries of the United States. Memorial Library at the University of Wisconsin-Madison selected the 1883 copy in our collection as one of our first digitization projects because of its usefulness for genealogists. The atlas helps in tracing the roots of families with origins in any part of the German empire from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Besides Germany, the maps of this atlas also cover the bordering portions of present-day Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, the Russian Federation, Slovakia, and Switzerland. Due to the large scale of its maps (1:850,000) and its thorough gazetteer of place-names, one can locate even small towns and villages on the maps in the Ravenstein atlas. A special feature is the marking of the locations of churches on all of the maps as well as one special map with an accompanying table giving statistics on the religious denominations found throughout the German empire down to the Regierungsbezirk and Kreis governmental units. Place-names and political jurisdictions often change over time. A common challenge in genealogy is identifying the current name and jurisdiction of a family's place of origin in order to figure out where the records of births, deaths, and marriages of an earlier period are now being kept. Comparison of the Ravenstein atlas and a recently published atlas often provides the solution to this problem. Here's how it is done: First, one needs to locate the family's place of origin in the Ravenstein atlas by looking up the place-name in the gazetteer portion of the atlas and then finding the place on the map cited in the gazetteer entry. Second, by observing the nearby natural features (such as a river, lake, etc.) or the closest larger cities or towns, one can then turn to a recently published atlas and match up that same location. Third, now knowing the current jurisdiction and name of the family's place of origin, one can then use current government directories, genealogical handbooks or other reference tools to identify the appropriate governmental office, etc., for the genealogical records wanted.

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Funny walrus.I deserve to rp again.
He might give you a second chance if i ask.
I'm sure you do.
Favor* Sure, whatever..
So i`5m oingto rp again.I am the only one who finds it funny that he thinks he deserves to RP when he can't spell?Funny walrus.I deserve to rp again.
BM, have you ever considered why Kakashi doesn't let you in the rp board? From what I've heard, you completely trash rps.
It's true. His grammar makes it nearly impossible to understand the posts. Trust me; I've RPed a TINY bit with him and what I did, I could barely understand. BM, if you want to RP, you should learn grammar. If you want a crash course, PM me. I'm a grammar nut. I KNOW grammar. I can't spell every word correctly and I DO make the occasional grammtical mistake, but I'm probably one of the best people to teach ENGLISH grammar to somebody that's not a teacher.
Kiri: Bragger.
Kiki: Shut it.
Ombreon: Oh boy. Here we go...
Kiri: Make me!
Kiki: *wrestles*
Ombreon: *sigh* I hate it when this happens... Espeically when Kiki makes me post it... -_-
Who da fu*k are yuo suske or what ever but I made one of th greatest rps ever called Mewtwo.Thanks Kelsh i`m sure you will get through that him.
Well, your Mewtwo RP was fun; I have to admit that. Sorry I'm mean to you about grammar; bad grammar is just one of my pet peevees... That last post I wasn't trying to be mean...
grammar used to be one of my pet peeves too. I used to call my teachers on it partially because I couldn't stand seeing the mistake and partially because I liked getting an embarassed reaction from the teachers. I did it all the way up until the end of 7th grade, when I corrected my science teacher and she looked at me square in the eye and said, "Guess what? I don't care" before turning back to her teaching
Bayleef_Master, I am the guy who knows how shitty you post, from the old forums.
BM can make pretty good RPs when he's not basing them off another RP or a video game other than Pokemon.
when he's not basing them off another RP or a video game other than Pokemon.
He should make one then, and I'll see how good he is, if he's any good, I'll admit that I was wrong.
Well first i need Kakashi`s premission.I think Kakashi is a cool guy dont get me wrong but he can pi55 me off sometimes.
don't censor words, it's unnecessary and makes it look n00bish, as a friendly hint.
Stop bashing some one because they're not the best typer. I bet if God or some one else did that you wouldn't really care.
Anyways, anyone has the right to roleplay even if they aren't the best. Got it?
The point is, God wouldn't. Plus the fact that I said as a friendly hint. Kelsh, I really don't want to argue right now, so I'll just leave it at that, ok?
Point is, it isn't cool to not like how some one spells bad or uses bad grammer. I know some body that does that on here and he isn't hated.

Murderer Gets 30 Years In Prison
Albemarle Man Kicked Child
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — An Albemarle County man convicted of felony murder in the death of a 1-year-old girl will spend 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Camora Wicks died in May 2011 after 20-year-old Ramon M. Turley kicked her. Turley pleaded guilty in January 2012.
Media outlets report that Albemarle County Circuit Court Judge Cheryl Higgins sentenced Turley on Wednesday to 40 years in prison with 10 years suspended. Turley also cannot have any unsupervised contact with children after he completes his sentence.
Turley said during the sentencing hearing that the girl's death was an accident.

When it comes to the war on meth many people may say, 'out of sight out of mind,' but that's a thought that worries many local authorities.
Capt. Faith Bell of the Bay County Sheriff's office has been cleaning up meth labs since the 1980's and she's watched the epidemic grow.
"I've heard people say: 'what do I care about meth, it doesn't affect me.' Well it does affect you and if it hasn't, it will," Capt. Bell said.
Assistant State Attorney Greg Wilson agrees, "just because you can say, somebody in my family isn't addicted to it or I'm not aware of any of my neighbors being addicted to it. Does it affect everybody? It certainly does. You may not know about it but it does."
Between January and August of this year the Bay County Sheriff's office busted, cleaned up and documented 43 meth labs and more since August. That's more than four times the busts made in Miami.
And when one lab is busted - a community pays for it.
"The cost of manpower alone, we incur a lot of overtime cleaning up these labs. And the cleanup, it's paid for strictly by taxpayer dollars" Capt. Bell said.
Bay Medical Pharmacist Laura Gould knows the cost first hand. She's been carrying a family member through rehab for some time and says it's a long difficult process. "Financially, you have to pay for an attorney. You have to go visit that person if they've become incarcerated which takes time away from your personal life. Costs if there is a child involved. The costs of that younger person, you may have to care for them," Gould said.
The destruction costs almost seem ironic, considering the substance is increasingly accessible and cheap but as local authorities and health officials will say, what was once ignored is now in the spot light and the solution will need a community taking a multi-faceted approach, one that addresses the root of the problem.
"The underlying problem is the drug habit. The drug is what's making them do all the things they're doing. They've got to be rehabilitated," Suzy Thompson said.
Suzy lost her son to the addiction in 2002.
