More: Why fly across the country from Los Angeles to attend this event?
Lisa Rinna: QVC asked me to do the red carpet and I have always wanted to come to this event.
More: And it is for a good cause?
LR: I am a big supporter of research on ovarian cancer and any other cancer out there.
More: Why?
LR: Both my mom and my sister were diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
More: I am so sorry. How awful.
LR: They are both survivors, but one of my dear friends passed away from ovarian cancer. I also have two daughters, so it is important to eradicate this disease.
More: You must have been terrified to have your mom and your sister diagnosed around the same time?
LR: It was worse than you could ever imagine. They were diagnosed six months apart.
More: Do you ever get scared thinking you could be next, since it is in your immediate family?
LR: Of course, but at the time I was more worried for them. To me, the key is early detection. I get my mammogram every year. It is about being healthy and getting rid of the plastic in your life. You have to make sure you are cooking with the right pans and eat organic.
More: You have changed your lifestyle?
LR: Once it hits that close to home, you better believe it!
More: You mention not using plastic anymore.
LR: Yes.
More: Yet you have been public with your experience with plastic surgery and lip injections. Do you regret going under the knife?
LR: Nothing scares me. Nothing that I have done is prominent, in a sense. My kids are aware of everything. Because I have been so honest and open I think they would steer away from it.
More: So if your girls want plastic surgery, would you say no?
LR: When my girls come of age they can do what they want, but I can guarantee you they won't do it, knowing what they know now.
More: Have you explained to your daughters what cancer is?
LR: Yes, because both their nana and their aunt had it and both had a double mastectomy. When a family member goes through that, the whole family goes through it together. The girls are very aware of the bras with fake breasts my mother and sister wear because they chose not to undergo reconstructive surgery.
More: This event's theme is shop till you drop. What is on your must-have list?
LR: I like clothes and shoes and cute purses.
More: Are you buying for Harry [husband Harry Hamlin, the actor]?
LR: Yes, he needs clothes, because the man doesn't shop.

Cambridge, MA...The Cambridge Health Alliance Board of Trustees today announced the selection of Patrick Wardell as the new Chief Executive Officer for Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA). Mr. Wardell currently serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer at Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Michigan. The Board of Trustees reviewed three finalists following multiple interviews and unanimously chose Mr. Wardell at this morning's Board meeting. Mr. Wardell's appointment as Cambridge Health Alliance's new Chief Executive Officer is contingent on contract negotiations.
Throughout the selection process, Mr. Wardell impressed the Board with his broad knowledge and understanding of safety net institutions and population health and, more important, how to position health systems like CHA amid national and local health care reform to improve, innovate, and modernize how care is provided to patients.
"This is a critical time for CHA and for health care delivery systems everywhere," said Board Chair Mary Cassesso. "Given his more than 15 years of experience as a CEO for safety net institutions, the Board of Trustees and I believe we have the right person to steer this institution through such a crucial period and we're very pleased with the caliber of candidates we attracted during this very deliberative search process."
Mr. Wardell has spent the last six years as the President and CEO at Hurley Medical Center, a $360 million, 463-bed teaching hospital that provides residency programs in internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and radiology. As President and CEO, Mr. Wardell reversed a seven-year cumulative loss of $34 million to a $7 million surplus in two years. He also established the Hurley Children's Hospital, constructed a $30 million state-of-the-art emergency trauma center caring for 90,000 patients annually, and introduced patient family-centered care and Six Sigma principles to Hurley Medical Center.
Before joining Hurley, Mr. Wardell served in various leadership roles, including Regional Senior Vice President and Executive Director for St. Mary's Hospital and St. Joseph's Hospital in New York, NY, President and CEO of the St. Joseph's Healthcare System in Paterson, New Jersey, and as Group Vice President, Ambulatory and Network Management Group for the Montefiore Medical Center/The University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York.
Mr. Wardell received his Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Union College in New York and his Masters in Business Administration from Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management. He has served on various boards including National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems (NAPH), Michigan Hospital Association, and Whaley Children's Center.
"I'm excited to be joining CHA at a pivotal time and honored to serve an institution with such a proud and strong safety net mission and extremely competent staff," said Mr. Wardell. "I look forward to the challenges and furthering CHA's national reputation for health care innovation and commitment to its communities."
Mr. Wardell replaces Dennis D. Keefe, who resigned in July 2011 to become CEO of Care New England in Rhode Island. For the last six months, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Allison Bayer has served as Acting CEO, a role she will continue during the transition.
"Allison deserves a great deal of thanks for her immense leadership and stewardship during this transition period," said Cassesso. "She has advanced the organization in the six months that she has been Acting CEO, bringing to closure with the support of her colleagues many issues, including the Massachusetts Medicaid Waiver, the sale of Network Health to Tufts Health Plan, and the successful completion of the Joint Commission survey."
It is expected Mr. Wardell will join CHA in early to mid-March.

Happy A-Day-Early Halloween!
I wish you a night of fun and full of candy! Is there anything special you're looking forward to getting or handing out this year?
As a treat, here's some of my favorite Halloween candy photos I've taken. Enjoy!
Yee-haw! We're up for a rip-roaring cowboy filled adventure post today! I've heard of these rip-roaring line of Colts chocolates before from Cybele over at Candyblog, but it wasn't until my latest trip to the Fancy Food Show did I finally get a change to taste them. I talked with them at their booth and was sent home with a sample of their famous Colts Bolts and a Happy Trails Chocolate. Why, thank you ma'am. Mighty kind of you.
Colts Bolts are an over sized disc, similar to a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup made up of chocolate, peanut butter and almonds. Now, the shape of these are like RPBC, but the size is HUGE in comparison. They weigh a good 2 ounces. That's a lot of tastiness right there, folks.
The bolt is wrapped in waxed gold paper, then with saran wrap inside of that. The bolt is layered like a sandwich, with chocolate on the top and bottom and the peanut butter in the center. Which, attractively leaks out on the sides, just begging to be eaten. It smells lightly sweet and not of anything else.
The flavor is nice and not too overpowering. The chocolate is creamy and sweet, a it's a very nice milk chocolate. The almonds are awesome; fresh, lightly salty and so crunchy. The peanut butter is smooth and sweet, and takes second place flavor-wise to the almonds which really stand at the forefront of the taste. The texture of the peanut butter is nice and it has a full, delicate, sweet flavor.
This is quite the mouthful of a candy treat. Truly meant for the toughest of us cowboys and gals.
I love the packaging of "Roy Roger's Happy Trails chocolates" trail mix chocolate, with it's bright and retro design. I expected it to be lumpy mound like most retro candies in this shape, but I was surprised to find it's a smooth molded dome. It smells sweet, salty and strongly of peanuts.
The inside is very thick, dense and satisfying. It's like a chocolate covered mound of crumbly, chunky peanut butter. The flavor is a great mix of salty and sweet. You easily taste the smooth chocolate with a strong hit of peanuts and peanut butter. It has has a big kick of coconut, along with the strips of coconut to boot. Wow. It's a great mix of sweet/salty/thick/chewy and it's very satisfying and fun to eat.
The package says it has raisins, sunflower seeds and pecans in it. I didn't get any, er, taste or feel any.
I liked these both a bunch, as they feel both homemade and gourmet. The ingredients and concepts and wholesome, and are a hearty indulgence. Worth the try if you're looking for something a little wilder or need a treat after a long day on the ranch.

I saw these Attune Probiotic Chocolate bars in the store one day next to the greek yogurt I like to buy. "Chocolate in the refrigerated section?" I asked myself. I picked up one of the two different kinds I saw and examined the packages. Ah, these have probiotics in them, no wonder they need to be kept cool. I bought two of them for too much money (somewhere between $1.40 to $1.99 for each small bar, I forget exactly how much they were). I kept them in the fridge at home meaning to try them right away, but since they were away from my tasting pile, I kept forgetting about them.
There's two kinds, a dark chocolate and a white chocolate variety. The package design is clean and attractive, and each bar is about 100 calories. Which is similar to a cup of yogurt, depending on the type you like to buy.
Dark Chocolate: I opened it up and it's an attractive little bar of chocolate. It has a nice gloss and deep color. It has extremely hard snap and break, which I think is partly due to the fact it needs to be kept cold. The chocolate melts easily and smoothly in the mouth. It's very chocolatey with notes of berries, caramel and coffee. It's mild dark chocolate and not very acidic. It has a pleasant flavor and buttery texture.
White Chocolate Blueberry Vanilla: Unwrapped, the bar looks like it has tiny pieces of blueberries all chopped up in it. It's flicked with blue and purple spots. It smells of plastic.
The snap is hard, and I was surprised to find tiny rice crisps in here when I looked at the cross-section. They add a nice crunch though.
The flavor is sweet. Really, really sweet. I'm reminded of that mockolate coating you find on those yogurt raisins people eat. I don't get much blueberry or vanilla flavor, but instead more of a subtle berry flavor akin to mixed berry yogurt.
I'd recommend these if you're trying to find a tasty way to get more probiotics in your diet. For me, I'm perfectly happy just eating yogurt or keifer, but if that's not your thing I'd look for these. I thought they're a good effort, but I prefer to keep my probiotics and chocolate separate.

One of the candy types I always notice when there's a newbie around is gum. Even though I am now a big gum chewer, I often find myself standing in line at the store and eying all the different kinds of gum on the shelves. That's how I noticed the Trident Layers gum. I only first saw them in Rite Aid, then in Wawa, and soon I was getting a email for a free sample. With it's colorful packaging and I admit, the flavors look terribly appealing, so I'm happy to give them a go.
Trident Layers comes in two flavors: Green Apple and Golden Pineapple and Wild Strawberry and Tangy Citrus. The image on the front of the package showing the sliced fruit looks like a creation of some gourmet chef. The small box opens to reveal fourteen rectangular pieces of gum nicely lined up in silver foil wrappers.
Unwrapped, the gum look like a Bassets Allsort. It's two layers or gum with a gooey, fruity, different-colored center.
Green Apple and Golden Pineapple: Yellow colored gum with a green center. The flavor is like a granny smith apple at first, and not like a Jolly Rancher (thankfully). The apple is strongest flavor for about first ten minutes. Then pineapple takes over and is really authentic with a juicy sweetness. The apple taste doesn't come back, and the pineapple flavor lasts until you're either done chewing or… I don't know, it lasts a really long time.
Wild Strawberry and Tangy Citrus: The colors are pink gum and red center in color. The flavor is neither distinctly strawberry or citrus to me. Unlike the Apple and Pineapple flavor, these two fruits blend together rather than stick out as their own entity. The flavor is berry-like, with nice notes of orange juice flavors to add some tartness to it. Again, the flavor lasts a long time, and my jaw gets sore before the flavors runs out.
I was really impressed with these flavors, so if you're a fruity-flavored gum lover you need to give these a try.

I first tried a Topic bar on a whim. I was visiting my sister in New York City and we stopped in one of the plethora of corner markets that you can find there. I was lucky enough to step in one that specialized in foods from the UK, and I stood in awe eying their candy eye for a good chunk of time. There were so many things I've never seen before. I was drawn to the Topic bar by its small size and brightly colored wrapper. Not really looking at what it was, I tossed it into the pile of swag I was amassing and it came home with me.
Out of the wrapper, Topis is a very pretty, petite sized bar with a good weight to it. It's described as milk chocolate, hazelnut, soft nougat and smooth caramel center. No wonder it's so heavy! There's a lot going on here!
The taste is wow!. So complex and satisfying, I don't know where to begin. It's so creamy with the chocolate, the caramel, the nougat, even the hazelnuts have that wonderful smoothness to them. The flavor is rich and full without any one element being too overpowering. You definitely notice the hazelnuts and the caramel more that the chocolate while the nougat is there just as a soft filler. It really reminds me of a Snickers bar with hazelnuts instead of peanuts. Which, for me, is a much more pleasing combination.
So very good, makes me wish I had bought more! It has such a wonderful richness to it, and it's very satisfying and indulgent. Think of it as an upper-scale Snickers. I am smitten.

|I hiked from Providence Canyon, up ATV trails mostly, to the top of Providence Peak and then over to Logan Peak. My car couldn't make it all the way up Providence Canyon to the quarry trailhead parking, so it ended up being a 16 mile day with decent elevation change. Didn't see any other hikers, but lots of ATVs and sheep! Beautiful day with some varied terrain.

|The mountain is right in my backyard almost, and is lovely and imposing--especially when it is snow-covered. Made it to the top several years ago via Dry Canyon. The trail is basically non-existent for the last 300-400m, but the view from the top is worth it. I'm keen to try it next year from Spring Hollow. Nice and steep, but accessible with crampons and ice axe.

|Dry Canyon (April 27, 2007) - I climbed Logan Peak in April. The lower part of the mountain was fairly dry but there was considerable snow above 7,000 feet. The trail up Dry Canyon is in good condition. I just made my own route up the side of the mountain as I climbed higher up the canyon through the snow. It was a full day of postholing to the summit.
Providence Canyon (August 30, 2009) - I started hiking from the large quarry. The road above was really bad even for a 4-wheel drive truck. It was steep and full of big boulders and gravel. I hiked to Millville Peak first and then to Logan Peak and Providence Peak before hiking back down the canyon.

The chance for the absurd is the reason droves of misfits migrate from middle America to Manhattan. So, I'm sure flaming fashionistas from Peoria would have been reveling at Fischerspooner's show at Music Hall of Williamsburg. The arty, dance duo recently released their third album, Entertainment, a pulsing electronic epic that the group matched with an equally grand stage show. Be-wigged dancers slid in and out of jumpsuits, tutus and other fabric concoctions to the militaristic throb of songs like "The Best Revenge." Even Madonna (the most famous ex-Midwesternite) braved outer-borough traffic, studiously watching the dancers flex to perfectly synced rehearsal footage. Easily the best show I've seen in ages.
Toronto collective Keys N Krates also brought an intense stage show to Williamsburg taking over the back room at Public Assembly. After a heartbreakingly terrible show by Planet Rump (I thought I was watching a Mad TV sketch) Keys N Krates knocked out live remixes of classic jammy jams. With a DJ, drums, bass, and guitar, the band reinterpreted gems like Mos Def's "Ms. Fat Booty" and A Tribe Called Quest's "Check The Rhime," often banging out a riff of the song's obscure sample. They also shook up a downtempo version of Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" with frisky syncopation and throwback scratching.
The king of livening up any flaccid track with murderous scratching is DJ Premier. At a recent listening session for Queens artist Blaq Poet he vowed to bring back the coarse, wiry beats of yesteryear. Blaq Poet's latest album The Blaqprint is a cacophony of cagey rhythms and heavy lyrics coursing with the gritty, boot-stomping, ashy-knuckle allure of hip hop artists like M.O.P. and Mobb Deep. I mean, I love me some Soulja Boy, but I kinda miss when rappers used the word "glock" and post-apocalyptic decay seemed to influence the set design of all hip hop videos.
At least when it comes to real hip hop ish, we have Little Boots! Okay, I was making funny. But she did make a genius piano cover of Kid Cudi's "Day N Nite" and has been enchanting fans with YouTube covers of songs by Cyndi Lauper and Lightspeed Champion often shot from the comfort of her bedroom. Already topping charts in her native UK, she had a rapturous public waiting at New York's Le Poisson Rouge. However, her live show was sadly upstaged by her outsize buzz and rollicking openers, Heartsrevolution. A barefoot drummer pounding inhuman BPMs, a wailing frontwoman swilling from a bottle of Jack the size of her head, and shimmery dance rhythms of rave-like proportions preemptively kicked Little Boots' behind. The intimate, cheeky dazzle of her viral videos was completely lost amongst the heaving screams and flashing lights. Even though the crowd panted along to songs like her single "New In Town," her walk-around-and-sing-the-hits routine didn't pack enough of a wallop to convert newbies. Not enough to get droves clamoring from Peoria.

Steven A. Clark yesterday released his poignant post-breakup album, Fornication Under The Consent of the King. Sounding like a blend between Aloe Blacc and The Weeknd with dashes of The Neptunes, Steven digs deep into his heartache, wading in the desolate depths of his sadness and jadedness. Arguably, it may be the mens that do it best when it comes to emo. Remember Kanye's 808s & Heartbreak? Yeah, ish was depressing.
There are definitely going to be some weeping bros that will find secret relatability here. And we're gonna let you have that. It's all a free download and the full stream is available on Consquence of Sound, in case you're crying so hard that you can't wait for the download to complete.

Namestnikov, Vladislav
North American Juniors Game Night: 9-30-11Submitted by chad on September 30, 2011 - 21:51
Gatineau Olympiques 2 @ Val-d'Or Foreurs 5
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-1-1, -2, 0 PIM, 4 SOG, 1 Hit
Season Totals: 3 GP, 0-3-3, -3, 5 PIM
Janosik's power play assist gave him three helpers in three games. Gatineau was down 3-0 by the mid-way point of the game and had to play catch-up all night.
Moncton Wildcats 1 @ Quebec Remparts 5
D Daniel Milan, MON: 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 5 SOG, 0 Hit
Season Totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Milan and the Wildcats played on the same rink the Lightning practiced on earlier in the day. Patrick Roy's Remparts skated to an easy 5-1 win Friday night. Milan had his first point of the season in his second game. Moncton was already down 5-0 at the time, unfortunately. The Lightning are in Quebec City to play the Canadiens Saturday night.
Sudbury Wolves 2 @ London Knights 8
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 3 GP, 1-1-2, -1, 2 PIM
This is hard to understand. The Knights have scored eight goals in two of their three games this season, yet of those 16 goals, Namestnikov has only one assist toward the total. The good news for London is they're getting it done without the first rounder's offensive production. There's enough talent around him that Namestnikov should have a big season. Finishing on the minus side of even in an 8-2 win is not going to help much. Second year player Ryan Rupert (2012) had a hatter for London.
Owen Sound Attack 3 @ Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 5
D Geoffrey Schemitsch, OS: 0-1-1, -1, 2 PIM (holding)
Season Totals: 5 GP, 0-2-2, -1, 4 PIM
Schemitsch had an assist for the second straight game, but his Owen Sound Attack fell in a rematch of last year's OHL championship won by the Attack. The Majors, last year's Memorial Cup hosts, got the better of Owen Sound in the Cup tournament and finished runner-up to St. John last May. Leafs 2011 first rounder Stuart Percy had two goals for the Majors.

North American Juniors Game Night: 9-25-11Submitted by chad on September 26, 2011 - 08:35
Gatineau Olympiques 0 @ Victoriaville Tigres 8
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-0-0, -3, 0 PIM, 0 SOG, 1 Hit
Season Totals: 2 GP, 0-2-2, -1, 5 PIM
Ouch. Victoriaville outshot Gatineau 20-3 in the first period while scoring three times. They outshot them again 17-9 in the second and scored four times. They put up the snowman in the third period despite being outshot 16-6. Janosik, who is wearing an A for Gatineau as an assistant captain, was minus-3, tied for second worst on the club. Yanni Gourde (undrafted) had a hat trick for the Tigres.
Q Note: On Sunday the Lightning assigned recently-signed prospect Daniel Milan to Moncton. Milan had 14 goals and 38 points last year as a rookie with the Wildcats. Milan will make his season debut on Friday.
London Knights 2 @ Guelph Storm 1 (SO)
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 1-0-1, E, 0 PIM, *Third Star*
Season Totals: 2 GP, 1-1-2, E, 2 PIM
Namestnikov (pictured) scored his first of the year late in the second period on the power play, then added what turned out to be the shootout winner to lead London to a 2-1 win and 2-0 record on the young season. Seth Griffith, a member of the Lightning prospect team this summer, was the only other Knight to participate in the shootout, but he failed to convert his opportunity.

North American Juniors Game Night: 9-23-11Submitted by chad on September 23, 2011 - 22:36
Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 2 @ Gatineau Olympiques 6
D Adam Janosik, GAT: 0-2-2, +1, 5 PIM (fighting vs. Xavier Ouellet), 2 SOG, 0 Hit
Last Season's Totals: 60 GP, 7-25-32, +17, 37 PIM
Playoff Totals: 24 GP, 5-4-9, -3, 12 PIM
Janosik made his 2011-2012 debut for the Olympiques, notching a multi-point night and a fight. Janosik has done well statistically for his native Slovakia in World Junior play, but his stats so far in league play have been mediocre. A breakout year is expected. The Armada is a new franchise in the Q this year. Last year they were the Montreal Junior and before that the St. John's Fog Devils.
Saginaw Spirit 0 @ London Knights 8
C Vladislav Namestnikov, LDN: 0-1-1, E, 2 PIM (hooking)
Last Season's Totals: 68 GP, 30-38-68, +12, 49 PIM
2011 Playoff Totals: 6 GP, 1-4-5, 6 PIM
London put a snowman on the scoreboard to start their season, scoring five times in the second period and adding three more in the third. Namestnikov, who was sent back to juniors by the Lightning this week, had one assist in the game, but was one of only three players to fail to finish above even in plus/minus. He was hauled down from behind on a shorthanded breakaway, but no penalty was called. London was paced by Tie Domi's son, Max, who had a hat trick and an assist in his first OHL game. London first rounder Bo Horvat had a goal and an assist, and Seth Griffith, who participated in the Lightning's prospect camp early in the summer and again for the Bolts in the Coral Springs prospect tournament, had two goals and was named Third Star. London plays at Guelph Sunday.
Owen Sound Attack 6 @ Guelph Storm 4
D Geoffrey Schemitsch, OS: 0-0-0, +1, 0 PIM
Season Totals: 2 GP, 0-0-0, +3, 2 PIM
Defending champion Owen Sound is off to a 2-0 start to the year after beating the Storm in Guelph Friday night 6-4. Schemitsch is scoreless through two games.

I love my Kindle. The device is sturdy and dainty at the same time and easy even for non techies to operate. Amazon Kindle customer support has been great for me (I have been an amazon.com customer for years and have only had positive experiences with their customer service). Amazon also offers lots of e-book deals every day like free books, $1.99 and $2.99 bargains, etc. The Kindle is also easy to side-load with non Kindle formats with programs like calibre.
My friend bought a Nook and has had nothing but problems with downloading from B&N and their tech support sucks. Plus the B&N e-books are generally more expensive than what amazon.com offers.
Well if you take a look at the Kindle forums there are plenty of Kindle owners that have had nothing but problems with their Kindles, last time I looked a few days ago someone was on their 4th one.
Amazon's Customer Service is superior to B&N, no question! I've had nothing but good experiences with their customer service as well.
Since the major publishing companies put Agency price laws into effect anything from the big 5 has to be the same price no matter where you buy it.
B&N offers ebook deals as well as free Friday books every Friday. They also offer café promotions so if you have a B&N near you it's a great tie in. I've gotten free small boxes of chocolate, coffee and cookies! I enjoy how the Nook ties in the bookstore shopping experience with giving incentives to get you in there. Even though I mostly purchase ebooks I still enjoy browsing a bookstore.
Anyway, just sayin' !

I just posted a list of new free romance books - of the 11 each had 10 free and one freebie the other store didn't have. That's become the norm especially since most are publisher chosen.
My favorite freebie B&N books and ones that aren't offered by Amazon are the beautifully formatted Barnes & Noble published Classic editions with essays, notes etc they offer from time to time (often in bunches)
But with a free PC/android/ipad/phone etc app free books can be downloaded from either store, as well as Sony and Kobo.
As of now I believe that Nook is offering better hardware and software in it's devices. From reviews the Nook Tablet obviously benefited from one year refining the Nook Color. The Kindle Fire though has already had two software updates in two weeks to try and iron out the issues with the wireless, touch sensitivity, silk browser, carousel etc. From reading the Ami Kindle boards their very good CS also seems to be a bit in over the heads which is understandable since every new device has a learning curve and tons have been sold.

I think both the Nook and the Kindle are both quality machines; each has plusses and minuses depending on your point of view. You can find a lot of web sources that compare the 2 e-readers side-by-side. While they have some features in common, there are differences. My advice is to decide what
want to use it for and what features best match what you want to do. I don't think you could go wrong with either one.
ITA with this. I don't think it matters much which one you'll buy - just pick the one that best matches what you want, and I'm sure you'll enjoy having it!
I have a Kindle 3 - AKA Kindle Keyboard; I hate touch screens, and BN doesn't officially sell the Nook out side the US anyway. I bought my original Kindle this summer, and it suffered an unfortunate accident less than a month later. I called customer service (they didn't have a call back option for my country) and got a service rep on the line immediately. He didn't even ask what had caused the problem; malfunctioning Kindle = they send a new one via two-day shipping, and you're not even expected to send the malfunctioning one back until you receive the replacement (they pay for that, too). The only problem was getting someone to bring it from the US, because if I'd given my own address it would have been a bit more of a hassle. But the whole process was smooth, the service rep was professional and friendly, and the replacement Kindle has been working great.
As someone who's dealt primarily with Israeli customer service (motto: "the customer is always at fault"), I really appreciated such good customer support. Now if only they'd do something about those stupid Whispernet charges for international readers...

I have the Kindle 3G Keyboard and the Kindle Fire, and love them both.
We had a small problem with the Fire, and tech support was prompt in getting the issue resolved.
I take the Kindle 3G to work with me -- tuck it into my purse, and read it on my lunch break -- a lot easier than lugging around a paperback. Light as feather, and easy to read, and don't have to worry about holding it open as I eat my lunch.
The Fire really is a fun gadget if you want to download movies, TV shows, music, etc., and books. Plus, with Wi-Fi internet access, it just can't be beat! For $199, it's a bargain, IMO. And all the books I downloaded originally onto the 3G show up in beautiful color on the carousel, though need downloading from the cloud to read on the Fire. LOVES it!
Kindle gets my vote!

Congrats! I would recommend making use of the Kindle services offered on the Amazon website. They have troubleshooting tips, user guides, etc. I can also recommend calling Kindle Customer Service; they are very helpful in helping you with any problems that you are having or questions you need answered.

I have the K2 and love it. It is light, holds tons of books and feels really comfortable in my hand when holding it. I have been toying with getting the Fire but with the iPad 3 due for release i 2012 I will wait and probably get that instead... But I would still keep the K2 for reading. I owned a Nook (the original) for about 48 hours and back it went. It had this hideous scrolling color bar at the bottom that was distracting and they had no books to offer in comparison with Amazon. B & N has done much better but the Kindle had me at hello.

In case anyone is interested, the simple nook reader is FANTASTIC with battery life. It's the only reader I have tried that the battery do actually last 2 weeks with light reading. Even with heavy reading, it lasts a few days. I love it. Sure it's only black and white and a lot of features could be improved but love, love, love the battery life. Now I don't do a lot of internet use on the device and turn off wi-fi most of the time so I don't know about battery life with internet, but for plain reading, love it.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 29 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ph61 Very sturdy, roomy and attractive. I have two of them!! Both of us work from home and we first bought this desk over a year ago for my sister and so when I decided to retire my old desk and find a new, there was no question that this was the one I want. It has all the features I need as I have a docking station plus a second computer and a big montior with wireless keyboards and mouse. It fits it all and more. I bought a matching file cabinet at another store and the office looks great (and is very functional). It is easy to assemble. April 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Linda123 Favorite Desk We purchased two Konrad desks a few years ago, and just purchased our third, for a new home office. They are attractive, roomy, and sturdy. I work from home and use mine every day. I wish they still made the file cabinets that went with them, and the Riley bookcase, because that all made such a nice office suite. Nevertheless, it's a great desk on its own too. February 8, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Palinurus Classic Design; Solid Materials and Construction Nice big surface area, dense real wood, solid and stable. Easy to assemble. December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by xfitmama I love the look and functionality of this desk I love the color, the tapered legs, and the two good sized drawers. It's a good size, and a good value for a nice looking, solid wood desk. I would buy it again. The only qualm I have is that the drawers (especially one) kind of sticks when you open it. This could probably be fixed. Overall, though, great! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by dawno88 Great, solid desk I bought this desk years ago and bought the exact same one again a few weeks ago to put back to back with the other desk. We have them now in the middle of the office and my husband has one desk and I have one desk. They look great and are sturdy desks and easy to assemble and you can't beat the price. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skippy22 Affordable and Quality Desk Desk came exactly as pictured and was easy to assemble. Minimal construction yet still feels sturdy. A good choice for those looking for a desk without all the excess drawers, backing, etc... February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Foxy50 Great buy! Very impressed with quality and finish! Easy to put together except braces on the bottom. The weight of the desk is more than I expected. Drawers are sturdy and built well, love the nostalgic notches on the top gives it a little character. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ElizabethPVB Fantastic!!! This desk was way more than I expected, a great value! Excellent quality and very simple to assemble. Highly recommend it. December 19, 2013

Electric Vehicles - PAST PROGRAM
EV technology presents a ready, viable and clear way to reduce our emissions.
Electric motors convert 75% of the chemical energy from the batteries to power the wheels – internal combustion engines only convert 20% of the energy stored in gasoline*. In the UK, for example, an electric car powered from today's grid could emit between 15% and 40% less CO2 over its lifetime than a comparably sized gasoline car**. By serving as grid-connected batteries, EVs could also increase the effectiveness of renewable energy sources like wind and solar PV.
A fast transition to EVs will require partnerships between car makers, battery manufacturers, utilities, banks, and governments at all scales. We'll need to transform our transport infrastructure. We'll need a new supply of vehicles. And we'll need new financing models and policies to ensure market supply and demand.
We're working with our partners and extended network to make this happen. Together, we'll build the political will and the markets needed to scale up EVs quickly and effectively.

Facts about EVs
- Combined announcements of national targets for EV/PHEV penetration amount to 4 million vehicles by 2020*.
- In terms of range, EVs can practically fill over 95% of typical daily driving needs.
- Electric motors contain one moving part, versus 400 in a typical internal combustion engine.
- Each 10% cut in oil imports, and the resulting increase in domestic energy consumption, would add at least $60 billion to the U.S. economy.
- Most light vehicles are only used 4% of the time for transport in the US. That allows them to be connected to the grid – and potentially providing storage for utilities – up to 96% of the time.
- Lithium is non-toxic, light, has a high specific energy content, and is widely available.
- The world's automakers will introduce at least 120 hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric models onto the market by 2012**.
- The SMMT Electric Car Guide 2011 was published in May, and offers great insight to the EV industry. Read more about the SMMT.

EV Policy Initiative Roundtable
October 21, 2011
Several cities and Regions encourage the use of electric vehicles as one of the solutions to cut GHG emissions, improve air quality, increase energy security through diversity, and bring potential green jobs to a region. The main areas of focus are infrastructure deployment, creating incentives and fostering technology development. Many interesting initiatives are currently underway in leading governments, regions, and cities, but data sharing and policy comparisons are not yet widely available identifying where policy works and leads to a higher uptake of EVs.
The EV20 data gathering and policy initiative led by The Climate Group and the Province of Quebec aims to create a global network of leading EV regions to systematically share and analyze their experiences in order to identify the most effective and cost efficient approaches.
At this Roundtable meeting we presented a first concept of how such a states and regions network on EV policy could function, what benefits could be gained from sharing data, experiences with ongoing activities and ideas on policy that would increase the rate of take up of EV technology.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ytinsley Looks great just wish it was taller.. Received this lamp today and overall I am happy with my purchase. I was a little disappointed that the height information on the website was inaccurate. I measured the lamp and it is only 57" tall and not 64.5" as the description states. Also, the light bulb that was included is very dim so I'm going to replace it with a higher watt bulb. Other than that, it's a great looking lamp and I love the pull chain. January 16, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by CMMitchell good sturdy lamp The lamp is very nice. I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it was and how well it projects light in the room. We do not have overhead lights bc we live in an older home so we put higher watt bulbs in the lamps and they work great. Light is projected both up and down through the room. I also really like the pull chain for on/off. December 10, 2013

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the seventh, in 2000-01:
Directors' Cup No. 7 (2000-01) | 2000-01 Season In Photos
THE MOST NOTABLE aspect of Stanford's seventh consecutive Directors' Cup season was the presence of three players who, one could argue, were the school's best ever in their sports: softball's Jessica Mendoza, soccer's Ryan Nelsen, and tennis' Laura Granville.
Mendoza was at her best in 2001, cracking 14 home runs, carrying a .405 batting average and leading Stanford's softball team into its first College World Series.
The Cardinal, in its first season with newly-constructed permanent seating at the Boyd and Jill Smith Family Stadium, assembled a 54-15-1 record and for the first time played host to an NCAA regional, which the Cardinal shot through with a 4-1 record.
Mendoza, a junior, was the catalyst. She earned the third of her four first-team All-America selections. Besides her hitting, Mendoza robbed opponents of home runs and made game-saving diving catches from center field. Her run-scoring double in the eighth inning gave Stanford a 2-1 victory over LSU in the CWS, and the Cardinal went 2-2 in Oklahoma City to finish tied for third place.
In Directors' Cup terms, the softball team's efforts added 75 points to Stanford's total in securing its seventh consecutive Waterford crystal trophy.
Stanford had one national championship team, in women's tennis, and 13 among the nation's top five, and 15 in the top 10.
Top-10 Stanford teams were in women's swimming and diving (2nd), men's swimming and diving (2nd), women's water polo (2nd), baseball (2nd), women's cross country (3rd), softball (3rd), men's cross country (4th), fencing (4th), men's outdoor track and field (4th), men's tennis (5th), men's basketball (5th), men's soccer (5th), women's gymnastics (7th), women's outdoor track and field (8th) and women's golf (9th). The Cardinal recorded points in the maximum of 10 women's and 10 men's sports.
The national title was the 12th for women's tennis and spearheaded by Laura Granville, who won her second consecutive NCAA singles title.
During her two seasons at Stanford, Granville set a still-standing NCAA record of 58 consecutive singles victories. Though she turned pro early, Granville returned to Stanford in 2012 to earn her history degree and now is head coach at Princeton.
From a world perspective, there are few Stanford athletes with the recognition factor of Nelsen. The New Zealand native played two seasons of soccer at Stanford, helping the Cardinal into a pair of NCAA tournaments, including the 2000 quarterfinals.
Nelsen was a first-team All-America as a defensive midfielder and was named NSCAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year. There never has been anyone better at Stanford, and that fact has been hammered home by the accomplishments of his professional career.
Nelsen played nine seasons in the English Premier League, serving as captain of the Bladkburn Rovers for six of them. He also captained New Zealand at the 2010 World Cup, as the All Whites earned their first-ever points in the competition.
* * *
More highlights from 2000-01:
• The Stanford baseball team, powered by the bats of future major leaguers Ryan Garko and Carlos Quentin, and the arm of Jeremy Guthrie, went 51-17 and advanced to the College World Series championship game for the second consecutive season.
• Misty Hyman followed up on her 2000 Olympic gold medal by winning the 200-yard butterfly at the NCAA Championships, helping the Cardinal to a second-place team finish, and winning the Al Masters Award, Stanford Athletics' top honor.
• Adam Messner won the 200 fly and Anthony Robinson captured the 50 freestyle to lead Stanford to second in the NCAA men's swimming and diving championships.
• Shannon Montague won her second consecutive solo national title in synchronized swimming.
• Jonathon Riley won two NCAA titles in track and field, as part of the Cardinal's indoor distance medley relay team, and as the outdoor 5,000 champion.
The Final Count:
1) Stanford, 1,359
3) Georgia, 890.5
4) Michigan, 864.5
5) Arizona, 863
Stanford's Top Scoring Teams:
1, Women's tennis, 100 points; 2 (tie), Baseball, men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, each 90; 5 (tie), women's cross country, men's track and field, each 80.
Directors' Cup No. 1: 1994-95
Directors' Cup No. 2: 1995-96
Directors' Cup No. 3: 1996-97
Directors' Cup No. 4: 1997-98

Clue # 1:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… Geez—is that a chin hair? Higher testosterone means hair starts sprouting in traditionally masculine spots, such as the chin and upper lip.
That's Because… Higher testosterone means hair starts sprouting in traditionally masculine spots, such as the chin and upper lip.
So Consider… VANIQUA. Use this facial hair growth inhibitor twice a day and you'll produce less hair. Lasers may work too.
Clue # 2:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… Every symptom of aging shows up at once. Overnight, your skin looks drier, rougher, more wrinkled.
That's Because… Skin cell turnover slows. The lack of fresh, plump cells means your epidermis becomes less pliant, more dry and more wrinkled.
So Consider… RENOVA. This prescription vitamin-A derivative speeds cell turnover and collagen production. Exfoliation helps too.
Clue # 3:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… You get a sunburn in the time it takes to walk the dog.
That's Because… Skin's production of the pigment melanin declines. You also get too much pigment in some areas; not enough in others.
So Consider… DAILY SUNSCREEN. An SPF above 30 is nonnegotiable now. Lighten splotches by mixing hydroquinone with Renova.
Clue # 4:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… You're getting pimples… again.
That's Because… Your oil glands produce less, but it's thicker and more likely to clog pores, creating cystlike bumps on the lower third of the face.
So Consider… SALICYLIC ACID. This over-the-counter ingredient zaps pimples without over-drying. Or try Renova or azelaic acid.
Clue # 5:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… The slightest bump gives you a humongous bruise.
That's Because… Collagen loss weakens blood vessels; plus, your thinner, less resilient skin is creating less of a cushion around the vessel walls.
So Consider… VITAMIN K. Applied topically, it can help resolve bruises one to two days earlier. Renova also helps bolster skin.
Clue # 6:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… You glimpse your scalp shining through your graying hair.
That's Because… The increase in testosterone relative to estrogen results in male pattern baldness. Hair grays due to melanin loss.
So Consider… ROGAINE. Use the highest percentage you can get—and that's the men's extra-strength formula. The earlier you start, the better.
Clue # 7:
You'll Know It's Menopause When… You lean on your hand and your face looks rumpled, like an unmade bed.
That's Because… Production of collagen, which gives skin resilience, drops dramatically at menopause.
So Consider… HORMONES. Women who took them for five years had fewer wrinkles and more elastic skin. Or, make peace with your mirror!

Rated 5 out of 5 by juliesf classic charger for a great price We'd purchased boring expensive chargers that had been easily cracked in the Napa earthquake. We replace them with these fabulous, interesting chargers that were much less expensive but much heftier. A great look for a sturdier product at a much better price! September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gone glitzy Really beautiful! they look great with gold rimmed plates...the fluted edge sets them apart from other chargers I have seen...great price too December 27, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kay1110147 Great Value I purchased 50 of these chargers for my upcoming wedding. I was excited when I found these chargers beacuse they ended up being less expensive to purchase than to rent. And now I will be able to use them to dress up the table at holiday gatherings. They are simple yet the fluted design adds something special without being too over the top. The arrived packed very well! August 25, 2014
