Sip and See newly hatched - Joint collaboration (24 photos)

Party details:
Since our friend Laura gave birth to her 2nd child Erin just after Easter last year we thought it appropriate to throw her an "Newly hatched", Easter inspired "Meet and Greet the baby" luncheon. Laura didn't have a baby shower for her first child and since Erin would be her last baby she wanted to have a small celebration to welcome and introduce baby Erin to the family. The brief was to create a casual luncheon using furniture we already had in the house (we repainted the tea cart in lilac to match the theme) with vintage and unique touches, Laura also wanted to incorporate some Easter elements without going overboard.
Together Just Call Me Martha, The Little Big Company and Lily Chick Events styled a baby hatchling luncheon, the idea came about when I saw the "watch a baby chick hatch" programme at our local Kinder. The Kinder was kind enough to lend us 3 baby chicks and their local pet bunny, this provided endless entertainment and cuddles for the smaller guests at the luncheon. Tying in with the theme we had treats such as fake baby nests with chocolate eggs at each place setting, Oreo chick pops, Chicks on sticks (cookies) Baby chicks cake and Easter egg sugar cookies with edible vintage images (I used images found for free on google image search). The colour scheme was mauve, lilac (Laura's favourite colour) and yellow since we wanted a unique colour palette rather than the standard pastel pink usually reserved for girls. Love JK did a fantastic job creating custom printables and invites to match our theme, I find this the best cost effective way to thread a theme throughout an entire party while keeping to a budget. Each guest took home a small jar of homemade Lemon Myrtle or Blackberry and Lilac jam while the children took home a knitted woolen bag with bunny badge filled with chocolate candy coated eggs.

Did I miss something or did a rider from a UCI Pro Continental team win this race? How did he get in? Europcar is a Pro Continental team, will Voekler be on the line for the Morgul RR? Could draw some crowds!
Don't get me wrong I love Danny I just thought Pro Conti guys weren't even allowed to enter non-UCI races. It really sucks for them and they consistently complain about it so what happened here?

Submitted by mike (not verified) on
I could be wrong but I believe that the rule says UCI pros can't enter non sanctioned races. The Louisville crit is a USAC sanctioned event. However, races like the Firecracker 50 MTB race is not a USAC race and is off limits to UCI pros.

They really got the pros by their balls this year. Who is the problem here really, the cops or the people making the rules? Gets kind of gray. USAC could just look away right. Pro cycling is so stained with them that it could be good to have some seperation

For example, in no case should an exception be granted to a cycling event that is organised by a person or entity who regularly organises cycling events.

By Alice Kenny
Yet another day of snow, ice and freezing rain. New Yorkers we know now face the choice of keeping warm or feeding their families.
They commute from food bank to soup kitchen as the Senate poises today to vote on still deeper cuts in the SNAP food stamp program.
For budget crunchers, these hungry children and families are just a number.
For us, they are folks we know, care about and serve.
We invite you to meet a few of the faces of hunger introduced by the Hunger Action Network of NYS.*
Family of two, a disabled grandmother and her granddaughter
We don't get enough SNAP benefits to cover me and my granddaughter. We are so grateful for the food pantry. It helps us out a lot. Most of the money we have is from SSI, and it just cover bills to survive. There is no room for any extras.
Kim relies upon SNAP benefits, free lunch programs, food pantries, and church assistance in order to provide enough food for her family.
Kim says:
"If we didn't have these programs, we would suffer a lot more than we do. The struggles from day to day would be a lot worse than they are. We try our hardest, because we know others have needs also.
Disabled, and living alone.
I receive food stamps and do not get enough to get through the month without this program. Food pantries have definitely subsidized my needs. Without these services, I would probably go hungry most months.
I am poor and disabled. My son lives with me, and grandkids are with me on the weekends. SNAP doesn't stretch.
I am a divorced, diabetic woman. My 19 year old grandson lives with me.
I lost my job as an accountant for my town, because of tax cuts. My trailer is old and falling apart. My van is old and in constant need of repairs. I still have student loans which I have to pay, and my grandson has student loans as well. I have over $125.00 in medicine costs per month.
I get a small amount of SNAP, so I really appreciate the help from the food pantry. I hope to get HEAP this year.
Debbie's household consists of herself and her boyfriend. She only gets food stamps and SSI, and her boyfriend was laid off from work. They depend on SNAP and the food pantry in Cuba as their primary food resources. Debbie feels that these services are "really good for helping anyone" in need.
Katherine (Kathy)
There are ten in Katherine's household, including five adults and five children. Three of the adults are on disability, and are diabetic. One of the children is a special needs child. One adult works full time in a minimum wage job, and another works two part time jobs. The household has many medical and car repair bills. They receive SNAP benefits, which helps them buy food for the children, and participate in local food pantry programming. The also get HEAP benefits, which help them heat their large house which has especially high heating bills in the winter.
She writes:
"Without these services, we wouldn't be able to keep everyone fed.
Jenn's family consists of two adults and two children. Her daughter has medical issues, and needs a wheat, gluten, and corn free diet. Her food is, therefore, very expensive. Both Jenn and her daughter are disabled, and their income is limited. The only receive $80 a month for food stamps, and that doesn't go far enough for all of their nutritional needs. They frequently find themselves out of food and Cuba Cultural Center's food pantry helps them out a great deal. If they didn't receive SNAP benefits and go to the food pantry, the children would be eating while Jenn and her boyfriend went hungry.
John is retired and lives alone. He has no central heat, no water, and only minimal electricity. His house needs a great deal of work. He is happy that he has a roof over his head and can be relatively warm.
John shares:
"Everything, and I mean everything, has become so much more expensive. Being on minimal Social Security Retirement, and having severe arthritis makes it difficult and limits my options. The food pantry makes it a bit easier and give that ever important "hope" to live."
Because of the food pantry, John doesn't feel so alone anymore.
John does receive SNAP benefits, and looks forward each month to the day when those benefits come in. Food pantries provide John with "additional nutrition and eases the financial strain of purchasing groceries." He describes his local food pantry as being "very much like a social gathering, a bringing together of community." John feels this is "very healthy and healing for all involved."
Tonya & Family
Tonya is a single mom with three young children. She is unable to work and is applying for disability. Life is difficult, and Tonya struggles every month to make sure that her children's needs are met. They have benefitted greatly from SNAP, financial and food pantry assistance, and subsidized housing. Without these programs, Tonya would be unable to provide for her family.

|Idaho Sweeps Tennis Player of the Week
MOSCOW - The University of Idaho tennis program continues to bring in the awards as Lachlan Reed and Gabriela Niculescu were named WAC Tennis Players of the Week for Feb. 22-28.
Reed helped lead the Vandals to a 3-0 record on the week, including an upset of No. 59 New Mexico State. Playing at Nos. 1 and 2 singles, he went undefeated, picking up straight-sets victories over Kyle Lynch of Western New Mexico, Gustave Diep of New Mexico State and Dimitry Minkin of UT-Arlington. In doubles, he and partner Adrian Simon went 2-1 at the No. 1 position, defeating opponents from Western New Mexico and NM State and falling 9-8 to the top team from UTA. The win over the Aggies was Idaho's second victory over a ranked opponent this season and the Vandals have won six straight matches.
Niculescu played a vital role in Idaho's 3-0 record last week with wins over Portland, Seattle and Portland State. She picked up wins at No. 1 singles in straight sets over Lacey Pfibsen of Portland, Katrina Schwab of Seattle and Anya Dalkin of Portland State. At No. 1 doubles, she teamed with Maria Perevoshchikova to go 3-0, blanking two of their three opponents on the week. The Idaho women have won 10 straight matches.
The award was Reed's second of the season and Niculescu's first. The good news kept coming for the Vandals as the men earned their highest national ranking ever, reaching No. 63 in the ITA rankings this week.

New York City is a mess. The subway is shut down. The tunnels are under water. Half of Manhattan is without electricity. But 72 hours after Superstorm Sandy ripped across the Eastern Seaboard, Katie Couric is at work. Her daytime talk show, Katie, is in its debut season, and the initial reviews have been mixed. (The big upswing will come later.) Newsday described the launch as "sharp" and "cheery" but also "cheesy." Couric's guests that day were Jessica Simpson and Sheryl Crow. The newswoman hardly interrupted Simpson's veritable Weight Watchers infomercial, nor did she challenge Crow's scientifically dubious claim that her brain tumor was caused by her old cell phone.
But it didn't take long for Couric to return to form—as this afternoon's show demonstrates.
Couric's guest today is Michael Morton. He served nearly 25 years in prison after being convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death but was recently released because DNA connected another man to the crime. On the evidence, the man deserves our pity, but his oddly unemotional manner makes it hard to empathize. Given the challenge, Couric is all intrepid reporter. She dives in, employing her well-known journalistic chops.
Couric's biography has long been on the record. The youngest of four children, she was born and raised in suburban Virginia, where she was a high school cheerleader. At the University of Virginia, she earned a degree in English. After graduating in 1979, she took entry-level jobs in local-market TV newsrooms and quickly became an on-air reporter. In Miami she covered hurricanes, in Washington the stormy tenure of Mayor Marion Barry. The late Tim Russert, then NBC's Washington bureau chief, hired her as the network's deputy Pentagon reporter, while in her private hours Larry King asked her out (she chose friendship instead) and a lawyer named Jay Monahan won her heart; they wed in 1989.
Hers was a miraculously bump-free zoom to success. Bob Peterson, creative director at Katie, remembers the year he went to see the capital's annual Cherry Blossom Festival, only to discover that the skinny girl who worked down the hall from him at WRC-TV was the festival's parade marshal. Fans were screaming her name. "Wow," Peterson said to Couric, "you're a star."
"Katie just kind of looked at me and was like, 'Can you give me a ride back to the station?' So we hopped into my car and rode back."
It was that I'm-just-your-buddy Katie manner that landed Couric the gig that turned her into a superstar. Among morning news shows, NBC's Today had traditionally scored the highest ratings. But in 1990 Deborah Norville succeeded Jane Pauley as cohost, and the numbers started slipping. A few months later, when Norville went on maternity leave, executives replaced her with Couric, then the show's national political correspondent. The ratings didn't just rebound; they achieved liftoff.
After tapingthe Michael Morton episode, Couric disappears for five minutes to wiggle out of her on-camera ensemble of charcoal pencil skirt, ruffled silk blouse and black kid pumps. Re-emerging in moss-green leggings, a belted cardigan and well-worn ballet flats, she pulls her hair into a pink scrunchie, and we headout for whatever meal you eat at 3 pm. Her new boyfriend, John Molner, an investment banker who resembles Mark Harmon, walks over with us. His office is closed because of the storm, and the two are trying to steal a little time together. Molner might want to kiss her good-bye, but that would be near impossible. Even though the post-storm streets are 95 percent deserted, the people we do see are all chatting up Couric. They approach her as if she's an old friend, not a celebrity. She apparently feels the same way. It takes us 20 minutes to walk one block.
Couric readily admits she is not one of those famous people who hate being famous—or pretend to. Early on, she even thought fame safeguarded her: "Until I was 40, I had smooth sailing and no real challenges in my life, no setbacks. I felt that my charmed life and being on television protected me from bad things happening. It was so ridiculous and irrational."

Scholarships, Fellowships, Prizes and Awards
National Scholarships and Fellowships require nomination from Wesleyan faculty and staff. Click here for important information regarding eligibility and to review internal deadlines for filing applications. Additional scholarship and fellowship opportunities can be researched through the CRC, Office of Academic Affairs, or specific departments and programs.
University Prizes and Awards are granted to students and student organizations based on criteria established for each prize or award. University prizes and awards do not have student deadlines, nor do students apply for these opportunities. Certain University prizes are administered by the Student Affairs/ Deans' Office, while others are administered by Student Activities and Leadership Development.
Scholarships and Fellowships Requiring Institutional Nomination
- The Rhodes, Marshall, and Mitchell Scholarships - Deadline: August 1
These three awards are very similar in terms of the rewards they bring and the criteria by which nominees are judged. All provide one or two years of fully funded graduate study at a British or Irish university, and all are extremely competitive and highly prestigious. There are many very interesting interdisciplinary graduate programs that can be very attractive to Wesleyan graduates. Selection committees seek to identify future leaders with a commitment to helping those less fortunate than themselves and to making a significant contribution in their chosen fields.
Candidates must be nominated by Wesleyan; the nominating committee seeks students who have an outstanding academic record, interesting extracurricular activities, a record of service to the community, and are demonstrably highly motivated in whatever they undertake. Wesleyan students can be better candidates for these awards than they may think, and the rewards of winning are life-long and not confined to a period of funded study. Any senior with a grade point average of 92.00 or above is encouraged to contact Lisa Sacks (email@example.com) about the possibility of seeking nomination. Deadline: August 1.
- The Keasbey Scholarship--Next Submission Opportunity is in 2015
To promote Anglo-American relations; to provide Americans with an opportunity to experience the British educational system.
Support for two years of study at selected British institutions. Direct payment to the British institution involved to cover tuition and other fixed charges; a cost-of-living stipend paid to the Scholar to cover board, lodging, and general subsistence; an allowance for travel between the United States and Great Britain. The stipend is approximately equal to that of the Rhodes Scholarship.
Contact Lisa Sacks (email@example.com) (x3428). Deadline: August 1.
- The St. Andrews Scholarship - Deadline: October 1
The St. Andrews Scholarship provides funds for one year of graduate study in Scotland. Eligibility is determined not only by academic merit, but also by heritage and geography: you must live or study within 250 miles of New York (as a Wesleyan student, you do), and you must be able to show some Scottish heritage.
- The Watson Fellowship - Deadline: September 12 at noon
What have you always dreamed of doing? The Watson Foundation provides $25,000 to 40 graduating seniors across the nation to pursue their passion for one year in a country(ies) outside the U.S. The project needs to show a long-standing commitment to the subject, but also demonstrate how it provides a new challenge in its focus as well as in the intended areas of travel (places where the student has neither studied nor lived for a significant length of time). It may not involve study at a foreign institution. The project needs to be imaginative and feasible, and be able to be carried out with great independence. A Watson Fellow is eligible for the Foundation's loan reimbursement program during the project year. For more information on the proposal as well as Wesleyan's internal selection process and application due date, contact Dean Brown (x2758). Application deadline: September 12 at noon.
For forty-two years, Wesleyan has been invited to nominate four seniors every fall for the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. We are proud that Wesleyan's nominees have been of such high quality and promise, and hope that you will join them.
Only students receiving their degree in May 2015 are eligible to apply in the Fall 2014 term for one of Wesleyan's nominations. Those of you who are seriously interested should get a headstart on your proposals over the summer.
DescriptionFor more detailed information about the Watson Foundation Fellowship, please go to www.watsonfellowship.org. A video regarding the program is available from the Deans' Office.
The Proposal and Selection Process
With this description in mind, think of a project about which you are passionate and that has the depth or breadth to sustain you for a year's worth of work and exploration. The project should demonstrate serious creativity in whatever subject area you choose, challenge you on many fronts, and be a personal stretch. For example, your project should not repeat something you have already done or involve a return to the place where you studied abroad, lived, or visited for more than a month. However, your past experiences should serve as a springboard for your project.
You will be selected for an interview in late September on the basis of your written proposal, which should be submitted without any supporting documentation. The proposal should be well thought-out, well-organized, and clearly written. The quality of your thinking, the creativeness and strength of your project, and the project's feasibility and challenge are crucial criteria for the Wesleyan Selection Committee. The Committee will review your academic record, which you would send to the Foundation if you are nominated, but it nominates a student primarily on the basis of the proposal and the interview.
If you are selected as a Wesleyan nominee, you will be interviewed by a Watson Program representative on campus any time between November and late January, and notified by the Program of its decision in mid-March. This past year, 40 Fellows were selected from over 150 nominees from less than 50 of the country's finest private liberal arts colleges and universities.
Please submit six copies of your proposal to the Deans' Office in North College by noon on Friday, September 12, 2014. I urge you to complete most of your proposal over the summer. It must be no more than three pages, double-spaced with 12-point font and one-inch margins. Please note that proposals that do not follow this format or are submitted late may not be considered. Your proposal should address what you want to do and why, how you will do it, and why you should be the one to do it. The more detail included in your proposal, the stronger it is, so you also should include the names of several contacts in the country(ies) to which you wish to travel. Your title page must include the title of your project, your name, Wes ID, phone number, email, and major(s).
If you have any questions about the application process or your specific proposal, please stop by my office in North College or give me a call at x2758. Best wishes and have fun thinking about your wanderjahr! Louise S. Brown, Dean for Academic Advancement.

Churchill Scholars generally enroll in one of the following programs: Master of Philosophy degree in science or engineering, Certificate of Postgraduate Study in natural science or chemical engineering, Certificate of Advanced Study in mathematics, and Diploma in computer science,. The award provides payment of all university and college tuition and fees at Cambridge, a maintenance allowance, and a travel allowance. Churchill scholars will also be eligible for research expenses approved in advance by the Foundation. Additional financial support is available for married students whose spouses accompany them.
In addition, the Churchill Scholarships provide opportunities to travel in the UK and to visit the country's archeological, historical, and artistic monuments, to forge new friendships with students from Great Britain and from around the world, to see the United States from a new perspective, and to gain the many personal insights that come from living abroad and adjusting to new ways and new challenges.
A complete Churchill Scholarship application must be submitted to The Churchill Scholarship Campus Review Committee (via Lisa Sacks, Office of Academic Affairs, North College, Room 310) in order to be considered for Wesleyan University endorsement (a requirement to move forward in the competition).

The Fireman
Technically, Brian Duensing is no longer considered a "fireman" now that he is a starter. However, he threw enough water on Chicago hot situations tonight to qualify for the title.
The Twins kept up their hot hitting since flying into the Windy City, but if not for some jam-escaping abilites inning after inning from Duensing, it might not have been enough. Like Francisco Liriano a night before, Big-Game Brian had good stuff and used it at the most opportune times in the Twins' 9-3 win over the ChiSox that further drives home the nail in Ozzie Guillen's team's chances of making a late-season push.
-Delmon Young picked up his 100th RBI of the season. A little over a year ago, Twins fans wanted to run him out of town. Now, we put up with his bumbling, stumbling defense for all those driven in runs.
Preview (87-58, 1st, 8.0 GA CWS, Magic #: 10): Carl Pavano (16-11, 3.47) vs. Mark Buerhle (12-10, 3.99)

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by dinahcat Just whar I wanted I was looking for something long and wide enough, and the right height to fit under my sunroom windows so that my kitties could lounge there and enjoy nature. I ordered 2 carts with the plan to remove the casters (to offer stability) and nail them together to make it longer. It worked like a charm! I store art books and supplies on the shelves while my kitties have a perfect perch. I placed a soft pillow on top.Love the rustic look! July 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by KJay Exactly right! I had seen this in a store in Ft. Myers, Fl. while away from home visiting family. I loved the look of it and once again regretted that we don't have a store here in Tampa. I always shop in World Market when I'm in a city lucky enough to have one. When I returned home I checked to see the possibility of ordering online and discovered what an easy prospect it was. The website is simple to navigate and the shipping prices are fair. My item arrived within a few days, in great shape and suits my purpose perfectly. I will definitely visit World Market online regularly while hoping for a store in my area. May 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Margot14 This product fits into space in my dining room. I was disappointed in how cheaply the drawer was made, however, it fits nicely into the corner of the room, I like the color, plus fact that it has castors. January 22, 2014

But David Nibbelin and Jacqui Johnson aren't ones for tradition. Unless they're starting their own.
You see, the couple was married New Year's Day in what can only be described as a remarkably untraditional ceremony. They went heli-skiing, tying the knot on top of a mountain and zipping down it on custom-made snowboards after the "I dos" were exchanged.
And they both had cold feet, at least the literal kind. After all, it was only 10 degrees.
The couple, who met on New Year's Day in 2007, live in L.A., but the snow, the mountains and Utah are very special to them.
"We had only been dating a couple weeks when, on a whim, I asked Jacqui to come to Park City with me on a last-minute road trip to the Sundance Film Festival nearly six years ago," said David. "When we were there, we took a snowboarding lesson and just fell in love with the mountains and the sport. Until then, Jacqui had never even seen snow. But she just loved it and we have vacationed in Utah every year since.
In addition to their love of snowboarding and their romantic history in our state, David proposed to Jacqui on top of a mountain in Mammoth. Which just added to their confirmation this was the right way to wed.
"Given all of that, when we were trying to figure out where to exchange vows, it just came to me, 'Let's get married on a mountain,' I thought. And Jacqui was all for it," David said.
Their families, however, were not. "Everyone was sort of trying to talk us into something else. Some were afraid of flying, some were worried about the cold and altitude. But in the end, we wanted our wedding to be our special day to remember, so we stuck with our plan."
Both the bride's and groom's families were placated with the idea that the couple could marry as they wished, so long as they promised to come back to L.A. and have a reception. Something the couple readily agreed to.
"Being on that mountain and getting married was just magical. It couldn't have been more perfect," David gushed. "And the team over at Diamond Peaks Heli Ski Company, they made the whole thing just exceptional. They were so excited for us and made sure everything was top notch."
Craig Olsen, owner of Diamond Peaks Heli Ski Adventures, said while they don't do many weddings, when they do, they do them right. "It's the most special day of your life. We're going to do anything we can to ensure people get hitched without a hitch."
Craig and his team, who fly near Snowbasin Resort, even have a special heli run named for something like this. "We call it 'The Wedding Run.' People have proposed on that run, fallen in love on it, and I'm pretty sure some people have even consecrated their marriage on it."
Jacqui and David, though, were just happy to get down it. "Jacqui wore a full, traditional wedding dress," David said. "It weighed about 20 pounds and it was not easy to board in. But luckily the snow was soft and light, so the dress was fine despite the tumbles."
But it's not just the dress that made the bride quite a sight. It's also what she had on her feet. David works for an animation studio in L.A. and created special graphics for her custom-made wedding-day-only snowboard. The graphics are a bride and groom in a mountain scene. Which will soon have a dual purpose.
"We're going to bring it to our reception and have people sign it and use it as the guestbook," David said. "It's untraditional, but it works for us."
Jacqui and David are now back in Southern California, preparing for their big party with friends and family. Jacqui will wear the same white dress she was married in, and David will don the same tux.
Which is arguably the only tradition in this wedding that these two didn't start.

Overview of the Program
The Business Law and Policy Specialization is designed for students interested in practicing business law. Just as the term "business law" covers a wide range of transactions in the modern economy, the Business Law and Policy Specialization provides students with opportunities to study a variety of business transactions in today's economy. As students progress through the courses in the Specialization, they first learn the basics of business transactions and then can take courses that explore in depth some of the most sophisticated aspects of business law, including mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy reorganizations and tax planning for international transactions. The Specialization emphasizes both substantive law courses and training in the practical lawyering skills that the modern business lawyer must master. The Specialization is suitable for students interested in practicing transactional law as well as for students who want to become litigators.
Students in the Business Law and Policy Specialization choose from among approximately 70 courses and seminars within five tracks: Business Law, Bankruptcy, Mergers and Acquisitions Track, Securities Regulation and Taxation. The five tracks provide additional guidance to students in course selection, as well as highlight the Specialization's curricular strengths. In each track, students begin with foundational courses, and then select from recommended specialized courses, and courses that provide further depth in a variety of areas. In culmination, the program offers students the opportunity to take an intensive transactional skills course. These advanced courses help prepare students to enter into business law practice with a broad exposure to the relevant interconnected bodies of substantive law, and an understanding of what and why transactional lawyers do what they do.

Neurobiology of Alzheimer Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia
The Roberson lab studies the neurobiology of two common neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia, with a focus on understanding the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that will lead to better treatments. Members apply modern neuroscience approaches to study animal and cellular models of these conditions. One area of interest is in following up on our discovery of a permissive role of the microtubule-associated protein tau that makes the brain sensitive to AD-related neuronal dysfunction and seizures (Science 316:750), and in how modulating levels of tau might be harnessed as a treatment for these conditions. Another focus is on new animal models of FTD and determining how mutations in tau and progranulin cause the social and behavioral dysfunction seen in this condition.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Loopy Delicious coffee. The World Market Kenya AA is everything I have been looking for in a coffee. It is dark, bold, super smooth and silky, and bursting with earthy fruity floral flavors. Upon opening my first bag of whole bean Kenya AA I immediately observed the most mouth watering and delicious looking dark oily beans I have ever seen in an affordable bag of coffee. This is great stuff. The WM Kenya AA compares favorably to an award winning micro roaster from Los Angeles that I had tried, but the WM Kenya AA is half the price. WM has a winner with its Kenya AA coffee beans. June 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CoffeeEnthusiast Love it! Best coffee ever, I wish that it came in a larger bag. This is probably the only coffee that we will purchase from World Market from now on. We drink and have tried A LOT of coffee. March 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Micki Great coffee! This coffee is great in taste and price! I suffer from acid reflex and have trouble finding a coffee I can drink that taste good. This coffee has a low acidity and have had no problems whatsoever! It is not bitter at all yet still has the richness of a dark coffee. I highly recommend this coffee to anyone! January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by achap3 STRONG This is a great strong coffee. You can use less of this product than other brands and still get a good strong coffee without a bite. January 24, 2013

Given the function: f(x)=x4-82+7
1. At what point(s), if any, are the tangents to the graph of f(x) horizontal?
So I found the derivative of f(x) and set it to zero...
and then set the three parts of the equation equal to zero to find the x values..
0=4x --> x=0
0=x+2 --> x=-2
0=x-2 --> x=2
and now do I plug these values into the original equation to find y to give me the points?
2. What is f'(x)>0? When is f'(x)<0? What does the value of f'(x) tell you about the graph o f(x)?
3. Determine the point(s) on f(x) where f"(x)=0?
...I was out a week so I really don't know how to go about 2 and 3...please help :(

Shoppers began lining up well before the 6 p.m. start time to score a swag bag filled with goodies and snag a photo on the red carpet with Olympian and U.S. Ski Team member Emily Cook. (Check out the pics on our Facebook page). Participating stores upped the ante by offering steep discounts and in-store entertainment, while fashion and beauty experts were on hand with their style and make-up tips.
Macy's, Dillard's, Volt and Chic Belle all set up trend closets featuring the hottest styles for the season, showcasing head-to-toe looks fashion-forward ladies in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. Other stores offered up to 40 percent off, free gifts with purchase and chocolate samples from Godiva. The Gap put a particularly enchanting spin on the evening with an acoustic duo playing in-store. (Glee fans may have reminisced about a similar episode).
"We've had a fantastic turnout, much better than we anticipated," said Brooke Whitebread, Fashion Place senior marketing manager and coordinator of the event. "The mall was crowded and the stores were busy—that's what it's all about."
Salt Lake magazine and Utah Bride and Groom magazine were on hand at Macy's and Dillard's, respectively, highlighting the best trends in Fast Fashion and Night Out themes.
Fashion's Night Out began in 2009 as an initiative to boost shopping sales in New York City during the down economy. Since then, FNO has become a global event, spanning 17 countries and more than 100 cities.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by becksprime2011 Excatly what I expected...great! These drawer knobs are sturdy, nicely painted and crafted. The color is true to what I saw online. I really enjoy them and they brighten up the room for such a small cost. This product has the best quality for a very reasonable price. October 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by EmeraldCoastBeachGirl Fabulous Find I want to renovate my bathrooms, but need to save up. I replaced the boring hardware in both our master and guest bath with these beautiful, bohemian looking knobs (different colors, but the same design for each) and it gives our cabinets an upscale, custom look for just a few dollars. I just unscrewed the old ones and screwed these right in. If I get new cabinets it will have to fit these charming knobs, because I love them. July 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JACW Beautiful, but needs longer hardware I ordered this knob, along with several others for an eclectic look in my kitchen. They are all beautiful. HOWEVER--most modern drawers have a drawer backing along with the drawer front facade. So it was very disappointing that the screws we not long enough to go through the facade as well as the inner drawer backing. We had to punt--we got a large drill bit and drilled a larger hole in the drawer backing so we could fit the washer and screw nut to attach the knobs. It was a pain, but it was worth it because it looks fantastic. I would recommend that they use 3" screws to accommodate modern drawer craftsmanship. But all of the handles are beautifully crafted and look amazing in my kitchen. August 11, 2015

Yeahh, shouldn't say like this, must respect people who died that day...!!!
that is pretty insulting. i hope he apologizes for that
Yea, my respect towards him just dropped drastically. He's a piece of **** for that comment.
What a bitch.
Hes sorta right...the media keeps gettin worse with time. 'Scust @ how much media attention Miami got, i was watchin espn alot hopin to see more about the knicks. Those lames over at espn need to eat a dikk and watch tv
And I'm not even an American or a New Yorker so 9/11 is a lot further from home to me.
i used to be a wade fan and had a lot of respect for him but ever since the formation of "the bitch 3" they have all been pissing me off. They are constantly sucking each other off during interviews wheres its to the point where i wanna crack them in the face. they can go **** themselves for all i care. on that note cant wait to beat them
lebron is the little pus** tht followed him, dwade sat back and let the players that wanted to come to him come, dwade is the man best player in the NBA besides Kobe IMO, but wut he sed in the interview wasn't right
I like Wade but this was a really dumb choice of words.
But on an unrelated note, he's becoming less and less likable everyday. Just by doing things and saying things that haven't been in his nature over the past seven years.
Not exactly the best choice of words by D-Wade

Students will begin their program in Vermont at the SIT Graduate Institute, spend two weeks with host families in partner communities across the U.S., and conclude their program with a civic education week in Washington, DC. Participants will focus on the program themes through site meetings, experiential learning activities, leadership trainings, civic participation at the community level, mentoring by community, business and NGO leaders, and volunteering with local organizations, cultural events and outdoor leadership activities. The program is free for all participants and covers travel, lodging, meals, cultural activities, and program expenses.

Thank you for your report.
fixed in r23329 (trunk) - can you please test it again before I'll commit to 1.11 branch
Thanks for looking into it. The notice is gone and the trunk version seems to work as expected.
fixed in r23329 (trunk) and r23330 (1.11 branch)
Hi mabe
I think that have of typo in line 122. Current code:
$this->_specificOptions['master_files'] = $masterFile;
Should be:
$this->_specificOptions['master_file'] = $masterFile;
Thanks advance Ramon
