Perimenopause: The Storm Before the Calm
What — you think you're having a hard time with perimenopause? Trust me: It can't be worse than mine. You wanna talk drenching sweats in the middle of the night, right in the middle of a meeting, or smack-dab in the middle of I-can't-remember-the-last-time-I-had-sex? You wanna talk pounds appearing mid-body like a busload of unwelcome relatives? You wanna talk hormonal horror stories? Honey, talk to me.
On second thought, don't. Listen to me instead. Four years after I peeled my last tampon, three years after I earned my Menopause Merit Badge, approximately one million meltdowns since Hurricane Hormone first blew me away, I stand before you on terra firma, exulting: I'm free at last.
Turns out, anthropologist Margaret Mead wasn't lying many years ago when she said, "There is no more creative force in the world than a menopausal woman with zest." Turns out, perimenopause is to menopause what a job from hell is to a tropical vacation: The only road to the best part is straight through the worst part; but once you're sipping margaritas on the beach, you can almost forget what drove you there.
I promise you this: However dizzying your progesterone peaks, however difficult your walk through the valley of the shadow of declining estrogen and progesterone, sometime after your final menstrual period, your hormones will settle like sediment in a calm lake. And so, then, will you. I say to you that happiness, not your hypothalamus, will be your shepherd.
Now that my peripsychosis has given way to journalistic curiosity — "What is menopause, and why is it such an improvement over what came before?" — I ask my health gurus for answers.
"Menopause is a mind-body revolution," declares Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause. "We go back to the way we were before adolescence. Twelve-year-old girls have a very high opinion of what they know and what they want, but they lack wisdom. After menopause, we have both."
I remember myself as a 12-year-old and realize that what Northrup is saying is true. I ask her why menopause is such a positive time. "It's a combination of hormonal and social factors," she answers. "In postmenopause, levels of follicle stimulating hormone and leutinizing hormone remain at the high levels they reached during ovulation. This makes us feel calm and more receptive to others."
"I am a lot more stable these days," I agree. "But I also find myself thinking about how much I want to do and how little time I have left. The prospect of death puts a damper on those yummy hormones."
"You're only 56!" Northrup retorts. "Seeing menopause as the end of your life is just a belief system. You can choose a different paradigm. I'm 58, and I feel like I'm just getting started."
Northrup's menopausal pride proves contagious. I find myself brimming with possibility, imagining the books I want to write, the places I want to see, the grandchildren I have yet to bounce on my knee.
"Menopause is harvest time," Northrup concludes. "We live the first half of our lives gathering the nutrients that come from taking care of others. But in menopause, we come home to ourselves as women. We get to live our lives from the inside out."
High on hormones and hope, greedy for more, I seek a second opinion from another hormone-hero of mine, Susan Love, MD, president of her own medical foundation and clinical professor of surgery at the UCLA Medical School. Sixty-year-old Love tells me, "Menopause is a great time of life. I exercise more, feel better, and have more energy and drive than ever. I find that not having the cycling of hormones is very leveling."
"Compared to … ?" I prompt her.
"At one point during perimenopause, I had very heavy periods," she says. "I saw a gynecologist, who recommended a hysterectomy. I was so busy, I couldn't schedule it, and then the periods calmed down on their own. It taught me to have patience with hormonal symptoms, which usually don't last too long. Once in menopause, we're liberated from those hormones, and we can reclaim our power."
Sex and Stability Post-Menopause
he poster crone for the power of postmenopause is my friend Julie Whitten, who calls it mellowpause, and she oughta know: She had one hell of a time getting there.
"I went into early menopause at 45, and my doctor decided to start me on HRT," Julie tells me as we're waiting outside the UC Berkeley gym for our yoga class to begin, surrounded by a gaggle of college girls. "The upside was, the HRT spared me the symptoms of perimenopause," she says. "But then I was diagnosed with breast cancer." She had to quit HRT cold turkey. That threw her into perimenopause at age 63, 15 years after her final period. "Between the hot flashes, the emotional turbulence, the cancer, and the cancer treatments, I really couldn't tell what was in my body or what was in my mind."
"Fast-forward to now," she continues. "At 66, I'm healthier and more energetic than I've ever been. My kids are on their own and doing great. I can do what I want, when I want, and I'm making the most of it. Not much scares me anymore."
The gym doors burst open. Ponytails whipping, our fellow seekers of centeredness rush inside. Julie and I roll out our yoga mats in the back and sit contemplating the rows of lithe, smooth-skinned bodies in front of us. "Just think," Julie whispers, "we've already been through the hard stuff. They still have it all ahead of them."
Since my friends' and heroes' responses to menopause so closely mirror my own, in the interests of journalistic objectivity, I decide to solicit a minority opinion. To that end, I call psychotherapist Jerilynn Ross, of the Ross Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, in Washington, D.C. Since Ross's clients are self-selected as the less, um, sanguine among us, I figure she might have treated a few women who fail to see the magic in postmenopause. Sure enough, Ross sees the dark side of the light side in some of her clients.
"Approaching menopause can be very difficult for women who haven't had kids," she tells me. "Some go into a total panic when their menses stop. They feel like this is it, I'm losing my chance to reproduce."
I take a moment to consider this — and realize that feminism notwithstanding, being the last apple on my family tree might make menopause feel less quieting, and more like a door slamming shut. Just as I'm sinking into sorrow for my child-free sisters, Ross strikes a happier note.
"But then, once they're fully in menopause," she continues, "many of those women feel a sense of relief. Their bodies have made the decision for them. They tell themselves that they have to accept it. And most of them do." She pauses. "It's not unusual for a woman I've been treating for years to quit therapy after her hormones stabilize."
"Uh-oh," I say. "If menopause is bad for business, maybe you'll be needing a second career."
Ross chuckles. "We all hear such awful things about that phase of life," she says, "and then you get there, and realize that you're still the person you were, only more so. You still feel sexual. You have more confidence and security. Instead of competing with other women, your friends are your support system."
That insight is borne out by facts: In a 1998 survey by the North American Menopause Society, 51 percent of postmenopausal women reported being happiest and most fulfilled between the ages of 50 and 65. In a MacArthur Foundation study conducted between 1989 and 1999, 62 percent of postmenopausal women said they experienced "only relief" when their periods stopped.
From 1997 to 1999, therapist Gina Ogden, PhD, author of The Return of Desire, conducted a sexuality survey of 4,000 men and women ages 18 to 86. "The 50-, 60-, and 70-year-olds were having more meaningful sex than the 20- and 30-year-olds," Ogden tells me. "They reported richer relationships — so much for the assumption that sex goes downhill when you spot your first gray hair."
You can prove that by my friend Jane Juska. Born in 1933, this mother of one and grandmother of two birthed two wildly successful books celebrating geriatric sexuality (hers) — A Round-Heeled Woman and its sequel, Unaccompanied Women — long after her reproductive system had called it quits.
The books sprang from the personal ad Jane placed in the New York Review of Books in 1999 when she was single, 66, and sexually deprived. "Before I turn 67," the ad read, "I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works."
Now 75, Jane is still reading Trollope and still having lots of sex with men she likes. She's also writing her first novel. When I ask Jane about the source of her late-life sexual and literary awakenings, she answers: "Menopause."
She goes on, "When the Curse stopped, my late-life elation kicked in. Men like me better now too."
"I never heard a woman say that men liked her better at 75 than 30," I say.
"I'm a danger-free zone," she says. "No fuss, no muss, no pregnancy to worry about." She grins mischievously: "Contrary to popular opinion, menopause is a gift to women."

Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

The ASU men and women's swimming and diving teams hit the water against Cal on Friday for their inaugural appearance on the Pac-12 Network. While the final scores favored the Golden Bears, 178-113 on the men's side and 229-69 on the women's side, some Sun Devils found sucess with the spotlight on them.
Alex Coci led the way for the swimmers with two individual wins. He outswam the competition by almost 2.5 seconds in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:47.92 and also placed first in the 100 butterfly when he swam a 48.58 mark.
Tristin Baxter on the women's side has become unstoppable in the 1000 freestyle and once again dominated her competition and finished first with a time of 9:55.56. She won by over five seconds over Celina Li of Cal.
The Sun Devil divers had great success from the board against the Golden Bears and swept all four dives, thanks to two first-place results apiece from Hailey Casper and Riley McCormick. Casper won the 3-meter with a score of 335.03 and the 1-meter with a 307.50. McCormick earned the victories in the same events with respective scores of 313.73 and 397.58. Luke Clohessy gave his Olympic teammate a run and finished second to McCormick in both events with scores of 292.80 in the 3-meter dive and 393.15 in the 1-meter dive.
The loss can't afford to linger long as the Devils head to Palo Alto to face another Pac-12 foe in Stanford on Saturday in a slated 1:00 p.m. MT matchup.

Well I started this over at militaryfirearm.com but I figured I'd post it here since there are not too many members there yet. Its not done yet but it should give people a good start on their cheap CFS cetme kits.
I started out by ordering my Cetme kit from Centerfiresystems for the great price of $100. I had heard that some of the kits were in rough shape but mine turned out to be quite nice. It had a cracked pistol grip but the internals showed very little wear and of course the barrel is new. Below is a picture of my kit.
I started my build by disassembling everything, mainly to familiarize myself with the functions of the parts and try to get a good grasp of how they all fit together. I removed the selector lever, then pulled out the FCG box. The ejector spring was removed next, followed by the ejector pivot pin, and then the ejector. I then drove out the pins holding in the rest of the FCG, and was left with the empty box. I stored these parts with exception to the ones not needed(shown below) in a bag and made sure I wouldn't lose them.
Next I went on to press out the pin which holds in the charging lever, this is done by bringing it back to the charged position and lining it up with the holes on top and bottom, it pressed out very easily, could be done with a punch and hammer too. Be careful not to loose the spring.
I was now ready to remove the trunnion and cocking tube. This was done by grinding away all the spot welds. Most of the spot welds are easily identified by depressions in the metal but there are 3 or so(one on top of the cocking tube, and two on the trunnion) which are only seen by discoloration in the finish, they appear darker. The cocking tube can be separated from the rest of the receiver scrap by following the seam between the upper(smaller) and lower(larger) "tubes" of the receiver. Once they are separated they can be tackled one at a time. Once, you have ground the welds flush, you can peel away the receiver scrap from the cocking tube. Be careful not to deform or removed metal from the cocking tube sleeve. Next peel the receiver away from the trunnion, I found the trunnion to be quite easy since you are less worried about damaging it. Pictures of these parts are found below.

Not sure how to update this so that it is included in the build process
It's certainly there in SVN, so I'm not sure what I can do here...
Stas -- this is a packaging issue. The Zend_Amf standalone tarball/zipfile apparently does not contain Zend_Loader_PluginLoader.
Alex, can you please ensure that it is included in the Zend_Amf package with 1.8.4? Thanks!
I've updated the build scripts, and verified that this will be fixed in 1.10; you'll see the files in place starting in 1.10.0beta1.

Two years after Hurricane Katrina pummeled the city of New Orleans, the perception of progress is all in the eye of the beholder.
When Katrina struck, a complex system of canals, elevations, and natural barriers decided the fate of entire neighborhoods. Although for the most part the city has rebounded, some neighborhoods have barely been touched since Aug. 29, 2005.
New Orleans' recovery is a tale of two cities where repair and rebuilding sit side-by-side with demise and despair. At times it seems that improvements aren't happening fast enough, but city officials say that—considering the damage it suffered—the recovery is just where it should be. From the mass evacuations, rescues, and casualties to the displacement of more than half the city's residents and efforts to repopulate, New Orleans' human problems have far outweighed its infrastructure concerns.
But long before the dust settled and a sense of normalcy returned, infrastructure managers were laying the groundwork for recovery. Buckled roadways, leaking pipes, and broken water stations, coupled with a loss of labor and funding, provided opportunities for growth as well as a monumental challenge.
For the city's public works system, the losses from Hurricane Katrina were catastrophic.
Officials estimate that New Orleans lost 4200 street lights, 458 traffic signals, 20,000 street signs, 3700 parking meters, and 100,000 trees. More than 66,000 catch basins and 26,000 manholes were filled with mud and debris once the flood waters receded. Eighty percent of the city's 1600 miles of roadway were damaged, 14% of which need to be entirely replaced.
Director Robert Mendoza joined the New Orleans Department of Public Works just a few months after Katrina. A native of New Orleans who had worked for the department early in his career as a traffic engineer, Mendoza left his position as a project manager for local road builder Barriere Construction Co. to help lead the city's rebuilding effort.
He immediately began applying for funding and using the media to manage residents' expectations. He's still on television virtually every evening, most often answering questions about the potholes that were a major source of complaints even before Katrina.
"Even if we had all the money in the world dropped on us right now, there aren't enough contractors in the world to get us fixed that fast," he says. "We're two years into it, and there was always the expectation that this was going to be a 10-year process."
By the first anniversary of the hurricane, Mendoza's department had restored 90% of the city's lighting and towed 8000 abandoned vehicles. In the fall of 2006, using a $30 million grant from the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief Fund, Mendoza instituted a citywide street and traffic sign restoration program that is nearing completion.
Longer-term issues include roadways and drainage systems. The city has received $182 million in federal assistance and expects an additional $326 million. Other funding has included $40 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for sign and traffic signal repairs. In August 2006, Mendoza launched three projects to repair and clean the city's catch basins and survey the city's drain lines with video cameras. Work is now complete.
With more than half of his workforce gone, Mendoza pushed city hall to buy equipment and technology that would enable his department to maintain the same level of service it provided before Katrina.
To make up for the shortfall in back office personnel, he implemented an Internet-based work-order management system that has enabled the department to tow the same number of abandoned vehicles with one-third the fleet. (Only seven of 20 tow trucks survived the storm, but they reached the end of their service life shortly thereafter.) With WorkTrack and CorrigoConnect, both offered by Corrigo, one dispatcher manages assignments for multiple drivers.
Mendoza bought two Pothole Killer (PK2000) machines, made by Patch Management Inc. of Morrisville, Pa., that require just one driver. While Mendoza still uses four-man patching crews for some spots, the new equipment handles up to 70% of the potholes on New Orleans' streets. By running five to six 10-hour days per week, his crews will repair 100,000 potholes by the end of the year, compared to 29,000 potholes in 2006.
"We can reach those types of efficiencies because we looked at new technologies," Mendoza says. "It's a tremendous example of how we were able to ramp up without bringing people in."

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: an amazing, brilliant book on cd with a sci fi theme (alternate realities) but so much more, my take on a very popular novel, and an entertaining story based in Seattle..
1Q84 by Haruki Murikami
Another book I read, then listened to. It's almost 1000 pages and had lots of holds on it, so I raced through it and was sorry when I had to leave that weird, compelling world. This time I could sink into the peculiar happenings as they unfolded on my way to work and back and when the final CD ended I again felt abandoned. Three narrators: the cool young woman assassin with her clipped t's, the sturdy young writer with his warm, strong voice, and the sneaky, snaky, misshapen guy pursuing them. It's a crazy story of alternate realities and preordained connections and cults with malevolent "little people." Sometimes two moons appear in the sky. I can't even try to summarize the plot complexities and twists, but just encourage you to enter this world as a dreamscape and go along for the very entertaining ride. True, much of the material repeats as the narrators give their versions of the same events, but I welcomed each round. True confession: I didn't realize the title refers to a year (variation on 1984) until I heard it. I'd read it as IQ.)
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
Yes, it's been at the top of the charts for months, but I finally got ahold of a copy and now I see why. A gripping yet slippery tale of identities that keeps surprising the reader. Nick is charming and handsome. Amy is rich, beautiful and special. Both are writers who start out in NYC with a charmed life which falls apart when the economy scuttles their jobs and Nick's parents face health problems back in Missouri. So it's affordable and functional to move back home, but exile for Amy. Nick and his twin sister Go buy a bar with what's left of Amy's dwindling funds. Amy disappears. Evidence mounts against Nick though he professes innocence and we believe him. Turns out there are dark corners and secrets galore, with a fascinating denouement. In some ways a morality play about what happens when things initially come too easily and how the media can feed and tweak "reality."
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple
Bee (aka Balakrishna), 14, lives with her mom, Bernadette, who's a glamorous, reclusive, non-practicing architect, and her dad, Elgie, high up at Microsoft, in an old ruin of a house in Seattle. Bee's a good student at the progressive Galer St. School but there are considerable tensions. Bernadette's agoraphobia and her disdain for the milieu don't help. They plan a trip to Antarctica and in a series of madcap misadventures, Bernadette ends up on board and then is utterly, mysteriously gone. Later Bee and Elgie track her down, with subsequent revelations and positive changes for all. Seattle is ripe for satire and Semple has a great time skewering its earthy pretensions.
Back next Monday.

Pure Awesomeness: Colorado High School Mountain Bike Racing
Submitted by Cheri Felix on
More Photos and Results
I must be getting old. Or premenstrual. Or peri-menopausal or just sentimental. Because when the girls roll across the finish line and they've done something they didn't quite think they could do or didn't feel like doing (because it was 45 degrees), well it's akin to watching a magic show. I don't quite know how or what happened out on the course all I know is that they finished and that's enough for me. And I just about tear up every time. That's why I really wear sunglasses. Wink wink.
I get such a kick out of watching the first timers. One of the Boulder High girls raced for her first time and she said, "That was amazing! It was so much fun! I think I hurt my knee." Or something close to that. I didn't have my Lois Lane reporter notebook with me. The point is that she had a great time and she had a great time doing something that was not easy. I'm not sure any of the kids who line up to race at the Colorado high school mountain bike races would say, "That was easy." Racing is hard. Racing is challenging and racing can be a grind and it can be amazing and it can be a bit demoralizing. It can be all of those things. That's why it's so fun to be at the finish line. Because I know all that and so I know right off the bat how cool these kids are. I've said it before but they could stay in bed. For the most part, races are far from home. So add the drive, the cyclocross race the day before, the camping or the hotel room plus the missed or compromised time for homework and you've got yourself a pretty big commitment (thanks mom and dad).
I'm not kidding. You might think I'm just saying this because I ride with the kids. Not so. I am deeply impressed every time I ride with the team. Girls and boys. Slow or fast. One of the kids could never come to practice (because they would probably still podium) and yet they do. Some of these kids are so new to mountain biking that they don't know how to shift gears and yet they come out and ride. And some of them have to borrow the team bikes because they don't have one. And a few of them work all summer to earn the money to buy a bike. I mean, it doesn't get much better than this. It all adds up to pure awesomeness. And it's not just Boulder high's team, it's all of the teams. Some big and some super small. They all come out and leave everything they've got out on the course.
Yep, for three races now, the kids have rolled into a small town or to a small ranch and given it their all. Fruita is up next for the state championships on Sunday, October 21. As we start to wind down, we leave the kids with a few thoughts about the race and about practice. We tell them to finish it. Just finish it.

Going on beyond mac and cheese in a box
Published: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
With schools opening all around, many articles are focusing on child nutrition. What do children like to eat besides macaroni and cheese from a box? Hands-on food is always fun for them: things they can pick up, things they can build for themselves (tacos, hot dogs, a banana split) or things they have a role in preparing.
My children loved this old-timey sloppy Joe recipe adapted from a Campbell's Soup cookbook. Most children have fun making pigs-in-a-blanket, and let them try the toads-in-a-hole, just for fun.
Old-Timey Sloppy Joes
1 pound ground beef
1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
1⁄2 cup green pepper or celery, chopped
1 15-ounce can cream of tomato soup
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
6 hamburger buns
Brown beef partially, add vegetables (many children do not like cooked green pepper, so use celery) and cook until just tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or longer. You may use 1⁄4 cup salsa instead of ketchup, if desired, and more Worcestershire sauce and mustard.
Easy Pigs
1 package crescent rolls
1 8-pack hot dogs
8 slices American cheese

Attention LPAssociation.com Veterans And Newcomers,
Something big went down earlier this afternoon.
Earlier today, thanks in part to Linkin Park's on-going "message" campaign, as well as links back to our website through other fan communities, the LPA has officially shattered any previous records set on our forums for "active users" online.
As of 1:28pm today, the LPA forums accomplished a new record of 4,561 active users viewing the forums at the same time. This completely surpasses our original record of 825 set back on September 8th of 2009, and has left all of us here on staff deeply humbled and in awe by the level of support the LP community has shown us over the past few days.
This month alone we have achieved over 10.5 million hits, and are averaging 400,000 hits a day to the site. At this rate, we are projecting to finish the month with an astonishing 12.5-13 million hits, which will make this the biggest month in traffic we've had since 2008. Just...wow.
Words cannot begin to express our gratitude, and we can't say thank you enough for your support, as it has left us truly humbled. It's because of the awesome LP community and it's amazing fan base, that we stay in existence and continue to work to keep you all as updated as possible at all times. You guys are totally incredible and we thank you all so very much!
We look forward to talking to all of you on the forums, and for those of you who are only viewing the site and have yet to register...we hope you take this letter as an open invitation to join our growing community. Hope to see you there!
Deepest Thanks,
LPA Staff - Derek, Andrea, Joe, Keaton, Mark, Todd, Luke and Omar

TUCSON – The University of Arizona Wildcat women's cross country team received multiple honors from the Pac-12 on Tuesday. Sophomore Kayla Beattie, a transfer from Iowa, was named the 2013 Women's Newcomer of the Year. Head coach James Li was named the 2013 Women's Head Coach of the Year.
Li led the women's cross country through an outstanding 2013 campaign. Last Saturday, Nov. 23, they earned a second-place finish at the NCAA Championships. It was the best finish ever by an Arizona women's team at the NCAA Championships. The Wildcats ran in very tough conditions, dealing with temperatures around 30 degrees, thick mud on the course and gusts of wind. Despite that they took second place and two Wildcats, senior Elvin Kibet (15th place) and junior Nicci Corbin (22nd place) earned NCAA All-American honors.
Their second-place finish ended up being the team's worst finish on the season. They won every other race, including the first conference championship in program history. They also won the NCAA West Regional for the first time since 1998.
Beattie, from Woodstock, Ill., made a huge impact in her first year at Arizona. She won her first race as a Wildcat, winning the 5K at the George Kyte Classic in Flagstaff, Ariz. She took sixth place overall and was the third Wildcat to finish the 6K race at Roy Griak. She led the Wildcats once again at the Wisconsin adidas Invitational, taking seventh place overall in the 6,000-meter race. Beattie's fifth-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships was second among UA runners and good for a first-team All-Pac-12 honors. She was the No. 2 runner for the UA women at the NCAA West Regional, taking ninth place and earning all-region accolades. Despite falling early in the race at the NCAA Championships, Beattie finished in 90th place overall (64 points) and helped the women earn a second-place finish.
Senior Elvin Kibet also earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors for her second-place finish at the Pac-12 Championships. Kibet was also named the 2013 Scholar Athlete of the Year. Junior Nicci Corbin earned a sixth-place finish and was also a member of the first-team All-Pac-12.

And this week isn't likely to be much more productive—the hubs and I are off on a last-minute getaway to Phoenix, to see even more basketball! Our two favorite teams (his alma mater and mine) are not only both in the Sweet 16, they're in the same bracket. What are the odds? We decided this was the perfect year to see the madness in person—and get a little kid-free time in the bargain. And it's all thanks to my wonderful dad, who agreed to drop everything and come stay here with the girls while we're gone. Thank you, Dad!

Canary Islands Travel guide
Canary Islands : Michelin's recommendations
Welcome to the Canaries - seven Spanish islands rising from the Atlantic Ocean off Morocco boasting two million inhabitants and glorious sunshine. Close together yet diverse, the islands have turned the archipelago into an appealing destination for a variety of tastes.
The Canary Islands' image is closely intertwined with its beaches - long stretches of white sand, clear waters and a highly developed tourist infrastructure. So don't hold back - enjoy the enchanting coastline of Fuerteventura and the superb sea bed at El Hierro.
With planety of time on your hands you can easily prolong your journey. There's a lot to explore on this volcanic archipelago where magnificent cliffs slice into the ocean, where the pristine natural environment has been turned into a Biosphere reserve on La Palma, where hikers are drawn to the slopes of Pico del Teide on the island of Tenerife and the unique landscapes of the Caldera de Taburiente, and where people also have a place. Check out la Geria de Lanzarote, a region where vineyards grow out of the ashes. Amazing!
A crossroads between Europe, Africa and America, the Canaries have preserved traces of the many influences it has undergone since the days of the Guanches. Follow the trail of Christopher Columbus to Las Palmas and admire the fine homes in La Orotava and Santa Cruz de La Palma, then lift your eyes up to the sky - so pure that an international observatory was built here at an altitude of 2,423m.

A new feature is coming to Freshly Pieced starting tomorrow: The Work-In-Progress Wednesday link-up. I hope you'll all join in!
I know it's fun to have a "finish" to show off. But just because you don't have a completed project doesn't mean you haven't been working your butt off, right? And the biggest accomplishments are not always finishes. Sometimes what seems like the smallest hurdle can be the toughest—like when you finish squaring up hundreds of HSTs (been there!). Or when you finally decide how to quilt that special top. If you overcome a challenge (or are just gearing up to tackle one), I think it's worth telling the world (or at least this corner of the blogosphere).
Not only that, but if you're like me, you've got a few (ahem) things going at once. It can be hard to keep track of them all when you've got a to-do list a mile long. So even if you've done exactly nothing on your WIPs in the past week, just organizing them into a happy little list might be exactly what you need.
So: Let's post about our WIPs for Work-In-Progress Wednesday and help motivate each other. Here are the rules:
1. Do a blog post about your WIPs. You can list them all, like I did last week, or just highlight one or two. Say a few words about where each one is at in the process, and what progress you've made since last week. And no, your WIP doesn't have to be a quilt. Any sewing project is fair game.
2. Link up here on Wednesday.
3. Please link back to my blog in your post. If you want, you can grab my WIP Wednesday button, over there in my sidebar. Put it in your own sidebar, and you won't have to remember every week.
4. Browse everybody else's WIPs. And please comment on some of the other links. Let's all cheer each other on and take pride in our accomplishments, big or small!
Hope to see you, and your WIPs, tomorrow! And thanks again to Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy—doing the linky was her idea. Since she thought of it, go comment on her WIPs first! : )

|Brian Overton
Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill Discusses The Start Of Spring Practice
Brian Overton is in his fifth overall season at East Carolina and first as director of player development on Scottie Montgomery's staff. He initially joined the Pirate family as director of football operations and player personnel on January 3, 2012.
Overton has oversight of the program's life skills, leadership and community relations initiatives in addition to assisting with recruiting activities.
Prior to his appointment at East Carolina, Overton served as a football operations assistant at the University of North Carolina for three years. He played a pivotal role in the Tar Heels' on-campus recruiting efforts in addition to providing ancillary support with team travel, high school summer camps, video maintenance and office management.
While Overton developed and coordinated UNC's game day operations effort for recruiting visits, his contributions reached far beyond establishing detailed weekend itineraries. As a recruiting liaison to the department's compliance office, he helped administer a program that documented all official visits, evaluations, contacts and phone calls. Overton also provided direct oversight of the Tar Heels' entire prospect video database, a duty that ranged from an initial screening to a final written coaches' evaluation.
Before accepting a position on the North Carolina staff, Overton spent nine years coaching at the high school level. He earned his first assignment as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at alma mater Hertford County (N.C.) High School in 2001. In addition to traditional in-season responsibilities, Overton supervised academic progress, coordinated unofficial college visits, conducted fundraisers for team and individual summer camp participation and organized community service activities until his departure in 2007.
He spent one season at Greene Central (N.C.) High School where he was the Rams' co-offensive coordinator. He also served as the Shrine Bowl Combine Co-Coordinator, a job which involved host site selection and set up, film evaluation and on-site logistical organization.
Overton returned to the Bears' program at Hertford County High School for the 2008 and 2009 campaigns as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach before moving to Chapel Hill.
During his tenure at North Carolina, Overton was active in community relations activities such as Habitat For Humanity, 911 Tribute (for local fire stations), UNC Blood Drive and the school's "Share Your Holiday" effort - a shopping, wrapping and gift delivery endeavor for the needy during Christmas.
He completed his bachelor's degree in health and physical education from Elizabeth City (N.C.) State University in 2004.
Overton, 34, is married to the former Tania Denise Williams of Edenton, N.C., and the couple are the parents of two boys -- Malachi (11) and Lucas (9).

It's International Women's Day, a kinda dumb designation, in my opinion. On the other hand, it did make me reflect a little.
Thirty years ago when I first started writing about food, the Dallas Morning News food section ran a big section front article: The New Women Chefs. Or something like that. The gist was that there were a significant number of women in charge of significant restaurants for the first time. Big news.
Kitchen chauvinism is famously established. With its roots in French culture, it was transplanted and flourished in the macho competitiveness of American restaurants. Women cooked at home; men cooked professionally.
I used to be a member of an international, sorority-like organization called Les Dames d'Escoffier, International, which was founded to counter that culinary sexism. Notable women (you have to be nominated and meet certain qualifications) professionals in food, wine and hospitality clubbed together to raise money for the culinary education of women. Julia Child was involved. Mary Sue Milliken, Lidia Bastianich, Marion Nestle, Betty Fussell, Rozanne Gold, Dorie Greenspan, Paula Wolfert and Nancy Oakes are members. Past members include too many famous female names to list.
The point is how much the food peoplescape has changed. Women are everywhere in professional food now, and have helped expand its considerations beyond the restaurant table and vineyard to the school lunchrooms, farms and gardens of the world.
We don't have an LDEI chapter, but we do have an amazing group of energetic, intelligent and involved women in the Utah food scene: I can't even begin to list them all, but think: SuAn Chow, Vanessa Chang, Tamara Gibo, Jennifer Gilroy, Chantelle Bourdeaux, Cara Schwindt, Amy Britt, Virginia Rainey, Christi Paulson, Lucy Cardenas, Faith Scheffler, Val Phillips, Heather KIng, Susan Massey, Blake Spalding, Jen Castle, Romina Rasmussen, Angel Manfredini, the whole Deer Valley crew, Leslie Seggar, Jennifer Hines…
Hey, if you read this, help me name them. Add names to the list that I have totally inadvertently omitted, and say thank you today to our lovely ladies of Utah food.

A Stock Agency is Actually Raising Its Royalty Rates. Why?
London-based stock photo distributor Image Source has announced that it will pay a higher royalty rate–60 percent, compared to its usual 40 or 50 percent–for all images it accepts from its US contributors from now through December 31, 2013.
Could the pendulum in the moribund business of stock photography be swinging back, more than a decade after stock distributors began cutting royalty rates? One promotion doesn't make a trend, but the Image Source promotion got our attention because stock prices and royalty rates have fallen so far, that few photographers are producing rights managed stock anymore. There's simply not enough money in it.
So why is one agency raising royalties? Image Source CEO Christina Vaughan says, "We are on a mission and that is to get all professional photographers excited about stock again when all we ever hear is about microstock, agencies cutting their margins and general doom and gloom."
The company's recent acquisition of Cultura, a Euro-centric stock photo agency also based in London, provided Vaughan with the impetus to encourage rights managed stock production in the US. "I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to reinvest in the premium space and demonstrate to great photographers that great photography still has a place."
Vaughan says Image Source is trying to encourage production in the US market in particular because the agency needs to update its rights managed images for that market. The timing is also right, because now that the US presidential election is over, Vaughan says, "we are anticipating growth and renewal in the US and we want to ensure our collection continues to be on the pulse, creatively and commercially."
US contributors will be paid 60 percent royalties for the lifetime of all images accepted from December 1, 2012 until December 31, 2013. Images produced prior to December 1 paid royalties ranging up to 50 percent. The agency will revert to those lower rates starting in 2014.
The question now is whether other distributors will make similar offers to refresh their own rights-managed collections–and keep their best contributors from defecting to Image Source.

Get More Mileage From Your Laptop Computer With an External Laptop Battery
by larskflem
Get More Mileage From Your Laptop Computer With an External Laptop Battery
When you need to extend the operating time of your laptop computer, an external laptop battery may be your best solution. These batteries are gaining popularity in both the consumer and commercial market segments because they allow users to power their computers for longer periods of time than traditional laptop batteries.
External laptop battery generally use either the lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (LiPo) battery chemistry. Both of these battery types provide high energy to weight ratios, are proven rechargeable battery technologies and are economically feasible. They are also more environmentally friendly that the older battery chemistries.
External laptop batteries are often also called universal laptop batteries because they are inherently equipped with several features to operate a wide variety of laptop computers. The key features in this regard are the variable voltage outputs and an assortment of power adapters.
The key optional specification in the choice of an extended battery pack is the amount of energy that it will hold, since it is this stored charge that will provide power to operate the laptop computer. Although many laptop batteries are specified with the milliamp-amp hour (MAh) rating of the battery to indicate the battery's storage capacity, the watt-hour (WHr) rating is a better specification because it is more of an absolute value that is independent of the battery's voltage.
Popular consumer versions of these extended laptop battery packs are commonly supplied in the 74-142 WHr rating range. This will generally supply enough power to operate a laptop computer for an additional 5 to 12 hours, depending on the battery's capacity and the power requirements of the computer. These consumer targeted batteries will generally weigh from one and a half to three pounds. Commercial versions of these batteries are typically available in the 200-500 WHr range to maximize your computer's operating time when using them as the remote power source for the laptop.
Attention must be paid to the voltage requirements of the computer when choosing an external laptop battery. Although these batteries will often provide voltages at several discrete intervals, you must make sure that one of these available output voltages is within +/-1 volt of your laptop's required voltage. However, since it is common to find these universal batteries provided with three to five different voltage outputs, the same battery can be used to power a number of different laptop PCs with different voltage requirements.
In addition to the voltage requirement, it is necessary to ensure that a power adapter that fits your computer's power port is either included with the battery itself or is available as an option. The chargers that are equipped with these batteries terminate in a plug over which an adapter needs to be placed. In many cases these are called barrel style adapters since they slide over a mini-microphone type plug on the charger's side and have a cylindrical shape.
Although not so much a safety concern, it is also important to make sure that the amperage of the battery pack is equal to or exceeds the amperage requirements of the laptop computer or it will not be able to deliver power to the laptop. This specification is most easily found by looking at the label on the charger that came with the OEM battery and laptop computer.
A distinct benefit that many external batteries offer is their ability to power other devices, such as: PDAs , iPods, digital cameras, portable DVD players and cell phones. USB power cords are supplied with many external batteries that have a 5 volt output to facilitate this.
Most times these external batteries will be able to recharge your laptop computer's internal battery. However, this is dependent on the computer's circuitry and may not always be the case. Some of these batteries and their associated chargers offer an automatic voltage detection of the laptop computer and provide an LED power display to indicate the charge level of the external battery. A few of these batteries require the use of the PC's power adapter to energize the battery, but most are equipped with their own battery charger. Also, some chargers will operate at both 120 and 240 volts making them convenient for international travel and usage. Optional converters are also available to charge these batteries from a 12 volt DC power source, such as a car battery.
Consider an external laptop battery when you need a higher capacity battery to operate your unplugged laptop for an extended period of time, and get more power for your money than you would with a tradition laptop battery. Also, consider the options and special features of these extended battery packs and choose the one that best fits all of your needs.

I keep hearin different things and Im not too sure. Just wanted to be informed cz I really like the songs
Why wont Shinin Down and Im Beamin be on LASERS
I keep hearin different things and Im not too sure. Just wanted to be informed cz I really like the songs
Forum category:
Can anyone tell me if I'm Beaming and Shining Down are available as a single. I want to buy the actual CD because I don't do Itunes at all. Please respond. Thank You all.
It's funny how the album bought from this website costs $13.00 and it doesn't contain the 2 bonus tracks (Shining Down and I'm Beamin'). Whereas the Deluxe version of this album which is available only on iTunes and costs $13.99 contains the 2 bonus tracks I mentioned earlier. For a small price difference, you can get this album only on iTunes. I'm not trying to advertise iTunes here, just pointing out the difference. And it's unfair to well, everyone, that such a difference should be there.
That is like being told steak is going to be on the menu, but when you sit down to the meal, there is only chicken. I like chicken, but I really had a taste for steak.
Sadly they're not in the official tracklist, yet there are people that don't want them on the album (Shining Down I don't understand why, but I'm Beamin I wouldn't mind personally if I'm Beaming was not on Lasers) because they think it's too old and such. There is talk about them being possible bonus tracks, however..I'm not 100% sure what's up with the future of these songs. I guess we'll wait and see.

More notice needed
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 8:34 a.m.

Editor: Thursday should have been a time of fellowship and enjoyment at the local civic center with the gospel group The Hoppers coming to town. Instead it seemed to be filled with confusion and outright disappointment for many.
I along with several others arrived at the Edward C. Smith Civic Center to find all the lights off and no sign of anyone on the premise. Numerous people stood outside in the cold while others sat in their cars wondering why the doors were not opening at 6 p.m. like our tickets had instructed. After about 30 minutes of waiting around, I called the civic center phone number to only receive a prerecorded message with their business hours. Having my iPhone in hand I finally looked up the civic center website and found a message saying The Hoppers concert had been rescheduled.
I realize problems or issue arise and events need to be rescheduled, but I find it very disappointing how the civic center and the Relay for Life who hosted the event handled it or the lack of telling people the concert had been rescheduled. I don't think it would be too much to ask for a small article to be placed in the paper concerning the rescheduling or even a sign on the civic center door or main overhead sign tell of the change.
After getting back home, I searched to see if any information had been posted about the rescheduling, and I was only able to locate a small post on the civic center's Facebook page. In the future, I hope the civic center and any event the Relay for Life puts on will take time to inform the public when events do get rescheduled and also keep in mind that not all people including a lot of elderly folks I saw standing in the cold use the Internet or Facebook for that matter.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ant523 exactly what I was looking for! These wash well. Put them in the dryer for just a little then ironed them. Finishing edges were nicely done. As a bonus, one of the packages had seven napkins instead of six!! There was a review about them being oddly shaped.I purchased 3 packages and they were all perfect! March 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MariaH Bought 4 sets.... These napkins did not disappoint! They are good quality cotton, nice size, and have a nice hem finish! These napkins are a great value. They do wrinkle quite a bit and need ironing. I dried them just enough to get them mostly dry, ironed them right out of the drier, and sprayed them with finishing spray...they were back to new!!! September 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Oregonkate Excellent value! I wanted white, 100% cotton napkins that didn't cost a fortune - these fit the bill perfectly! As other reviewers mentioned, they do wrinkle - they're cotton, that's going to happen - a quick water spritz then a once over with my steam iron and they look great! These always look so nice on my holiday table but I also have fun using them for casual dinners.... my company always feels so special when the table is set with "real napkins". I've seen thicker cotton napkins but of course they cost a lot more - these are nice and soft - do a great job - I only ordered one set to check them out first, I'll be ordering a second set! November 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by danasue Nice napkins at a very reasonable price! Yes, these are cotton napkins - they will probably need to be ironed (I suggest a spritz of starch, just me). They can be bleached into submission after your guest wipes their lipstick, red wine, and what ever else she found to use it for. Yes, they shrink A BIT - NOT a lot, just a bit, they are COTTON! Yes, they make any meal feel like it is just a bit more special. Yes, your guests will notice, even if they don't say it aloud. Yes, I am using my latest coupon to buy more! Buy these! October 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by texbelle Poor quality While this napkin can be dried without too many wrinkles, none of the 12 I purchased were the same size. Some were "almost" square, a few were "almost" rectangular and others were trapezoidal !!! September 5, 2013
