DETROIT (AP) -- UPDATE 4:07 PM The cars being recalled are...
•Buick Lacrosse -- 2005-2009
•Chevrolet Impala -- 2006-2014
•Cadillac Deville -- 2000–2005
•Cadillac DTS -- 2004–2011

General Motors is recalling 3.2 million additional cars in the U.S. for ignition switch problems.
The company says it will change or replace the keys on the cars from the 2000 to 2014 model years.
GM says the switches can unexpectedly move out of the "run" position if the cars are jarred, such as by going over railroad tracks or a pothole. That can shut off the engines and disable power steering.
The recall is part of a GM review of ignition switches after the company recalled 2.6 million older small cars earlier this year for a similar problem.
GM also is recalling 166,000 other cars for a series of problems.
And the company raised its expected second-quarter charge for recall expenses to $700 million.

State unemployment rates, July 2010
August 27, 2010
In July, Nevada again reported the highest unemployment rate among the States, 14.3 percent. The rate in Nevada also set a new series high. All State series begin in 1976.
The States with the next highest unemployment rates were Michigan, 13.1 percent, and California, 12.3 percent.
North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.6 percent, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, 4.4 and 4.7 percent, respectively.
In total, 25 States posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.5 percent, 7 States had measurably higher rates, and 18 States and the District of Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the Nation.
Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate increase from July 2009 (+2.0 percentage points). Three additional States had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases. Eight States reported significant over-the-year rate decreases in July, the largest of which was in Minnesota (‑1.5 percentage points). The remaining 38 States and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier.
These data are from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program and are seasonally adjusted. Data for the most recent month are preliminary. To learn more, see "Regional and State Employment and Unemployment — July 2010" (HTML) (PDF), new release USDL-10-1144.

OXFORD – Ole Miss football player Bennie Abram died Feb. 19 due to complications from sickle cell trait with exertion and a contributing factor of Cardiomegaly, according to the autopsy report, Dr. Jeffrey Dennis said Monday.
Abram – a 5-foot-9, 186-pound walk-on safety – collapsed at the Indoor Practice Facility approximately 15 minutes into a morning workout on Feb. 19 and was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford where his condition briefly improved before he died at 12:11 p.m.
The autopsy results were completed Friday, nearly three months after Abram's death.
"For us, Bennie's case was not a straight-forward presentation for sickle cell trait in a sudden death event," Dennis said. "We knew he had tested positive, and we treated him accordingly in the hospital and on the field."
Sickle cell trait occurs in approximately eight percent of the African-American population, and Ole Miss has tested its athletes for sickle cell since 1989, said Shannon Singletary, Senior Associate Athletics Director of Sports Medicine and Strength and Conditioning.
"It has been shown that sickle cell trait does increase the risk of sudden death events, but in most circumstances, athletes do really well with sickle cell trait," Dennis said. "We're watching it closely, but it wouldn't disqualify a player from participating."
Abram had a history of asthma and received medication from the pharmacy for upper respiratory tract symptoms the night before he collapsed. Abram didn't report the medication to the team, and Dennis said those things could have played a role, as well.
Abram played at Itawamba Community College in 2009. He enrolled at Ole Miss in January and had been training with teammates for four weeks.
"We hope this tragedy is something we can work forward with continuing education and hopefully have more answers to be found in the future with sickle cell in sudden death events," Dennis said.
The Ole Miss football team plans to honor Abram by putting his initials on its helmets this fall. The Rebels are dedicating the 2010 season to Abram's memory.

A typical child will catch five to eight colds this year – maybe more, if friends or siblings are around sharing their germs. Throw in a bout with the flu, and your little one could spend a lot of time sniffling, sneezing, and feeling miserable.
While you can't entirely germ-proof your child, you can learn to separate fact from fiction, keep your family healthier, and save time, money, and frustration. Start by putting some of the more common myths and misunderstandings to rest. And be sure to check out our article on home remedies.
Myth 1: Over-the-counter cough and cold remedies work well for children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says over-the-counter medicines for relieving stuffiness, runny noses, and coughs are not effective for kids younger than 6, and can have harmful side effects. If your child is under 6, soothe his symptoms with children's acetaminophen or ibuprofen and safe home remedies.
A 2004 study, for example, found that common medicated cough syrups worked no better than the same amount of unmedicated syrup. And a 2007 study found that honey worked better than cough syrup for kids 2 and older.
OTC medicines can also be dangerous, especially when a child mistakenly gets more than the recommended dose.
In addition to side effects like drowsiness or sleeplessness, upset stomach, and a rash or hives, kids can suffer serious effects such as rapid heart rate, convulsions, and even death. Every year, 7,000 children under the age of 11 are treated in U.S. emergency rooms after taking too much cough or cold medication.
How do accidental overdoses happen?
Self-medicating kids: As any emergency room worker will tell you, children find medicine and take it without adult supervision.
What you can do: Keep all medicines out of reach in childproof containers.
Too many cooks: Two or more adults (say, a parent and a babysitter) medicate a child without telling each other.
What you can do: Make sure every caregiver knows whose job it is to give it your child medicine, and when. You may want to attach a schedule to the bottle with a signoff spot for each dose.
Dueling medicines: A child receives a dose of more than one medicine with the same active ingredient.
What you can do: Read labels carefully, noting what the active ingredients are, and don't give your child two medicines with similar active ingredients. This includes decongestants, cough suppressants, expectorants, antihistamines, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen.
Measuring mistakes: One study found that 70 percent of parents have trouble getting the dose right.
What you can do: Carefully measure the dosage as directed, using the measuring device included with the medicine.

Myth 2: Antibiotics can kill the germs that cause colds and the flu.
Treating a cold or flu with antibiotics is like using nose drops to treat a hangnail. That's because antibiotics kill bacteria, and colds and flu are caused by viruses, a class of germs that aren't anything like bacteria.
Healthcare providers work hard to dispel this myth, but it just won't go away. Worried parents pressure doctors for antibiotics to help their children feel better, but facts are facts: No antibiotic – from Amoxil to Zithromax – will help a cold or flu.
Lack of effectiveness isn't the only reason to avoid unnecessary antibiotics. The drugs can have unpleasant side effects such as diarrhea and stomach cramps. And disease-causing bacteria can gradually build up a resistance to the drugs, making actual bacterial infections harder to treat.
On the other hand, if your child develops a complication of a cold or flu that involves bacteria, an antibiotic may prove helpful. This might be the case if she develops an ear infection, bronchitis, or pneumonia, for example.

Former U.S. president Bill Clinton is winning the war against cardiovascular disease after losing 30 pounds on a vegan diet, ABC News reported.
"His doctor told him that his heart today is much younger than it was even 10 years ago," said Bill's daughter, Chelsea Clinton. "He's probably the world's most famous vegan. He walks four times a week diligently wherever he is in the world."
Clinton, 67, began following a vegan diet in 2011 after undergoing heart surgery in 2010. Bill, who has a family history of cardiovascular disease, underwent a quadruple heart-bypass surgery in 2004 and in 2010 had two stents placed in his coronary artery.
The surgeries led to a dietary epiphany when the former president realized that his poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle had ruined his health.
Clinton isn't a strict vegan because he occasionally has organic salmon and eggs, but his daily diet is largely plant-based. After changing his diet, he also began exercising daily, and now walks two or three miles a day, lifts weights and plays golf.
The 6-foot-2 Bill said his vegan diet is responsible for his 30-pound weight loss and his boundless energy. He said eliminating animal protein from his diet was surprisingly easy.
Clinton's veganism has inspired other celebrities to embrace a plant-based diet, including actress Michelle Pfeiffer and "MSNBC" host Al Sharpton, who has lost 176 pounds. Bill, who was addicted to fast food for decades, said being healthy is a reward onto itself, but also a gift we give to those we love.
"A lot of people who are busy and stressed feel that eating and being comfortable is their reward, [but] you have a responsibility to try to be as healthy as possible [for your family]," he said.
Clinton's improved heart health on a vegan diet is not surprising to medical experts like Dr. David Katz, author of Disease-Proof. "If you shift to a diet more about plant-based foods, you are likelier to live healthier and experience less chronic disease," said Dr. Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center.
Dr. Neal Barnard, author of 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart, agrees. "A vegan diet takes care of most of what we need to do [to stay healthy]," said Dr. Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

National Post ·
TORONTO - In his professional debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jiri Tlusty scored two goals on Oct. 25.
In his debut in the uncomfortable spotlight of a professional athlete this week, the 19-year-old native of the Czech Republic had the youthful indiscretion of apparently self-made naked pictures splashed across the Internet.
According to Zack Taylor, who posted pictures of Tlusty on the Canadian gossip Web site, isthishappening.com, Tlusty took the photos with his own cellphone about a year ago. Taylor alleged that the Leafs forward uploaded the pictures on an online Facebook account, as well as shared them with girls he met over the Internet.
Though some of the photos show a teenager having what appears to be harmless fun, others are more salacious. In one of the pictures, which appeared on the front page of yesterday's Toronto Sun, Tlusty is sticking his tongue close to that of another male. In another, which has since been removed from Taylor's Web site after Tlusty threatened legal action, the youngster is fully nude.
In a prepared statement released by the Leafs after Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Tlusty apologized that the embarrassing photos were made public. He had been a member of the Ontario Hockey League's Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds at the time of the incident.
"I used poor judgment in this instance last season and I have learned a valuable lesson," said Tlusty, who was Toronto's first-round draft choice in 2006. He has four points in nine games this season.
"It will not happen again and I have no further comment."
Tlusty refused to speak to reporters yesterday, but his head coach and teammates were more than happy to speak on his behalf. Most of them sympathized with the up-and-coming player, who they hoped would learn to be more private in his off-ice matters.
"It was a mistake made a year ago and he will answer to this like none of us will or have to," said head coach Paul Maurice, who planned on having Tlusty in the lineup tonight against the Boston Bruins.
"I'm sure that each one of you has a story that you prefer didn't hit the front page of the paper."
"The mistake that was made was very understandable," added forward Darcy Tucker, who has played in Toronto for the past seven seasons. "He got taken advantage of by someone ? I've said for a while now that it's a blessing and a curse at the same time" to play for the Leafs.
Alex Steen, who recently created his own Web page after realizing that several people were impersonating him online, added that professional athletes have to be extra careful.
"I've sort of been cautious with what I do and even how I use my credit cards and things like that," said the third-year forward. "I went in and checked and I had four or five Facebook accounts and none of them were me. The people are even talking like they're me ? stuff like that I find disgusting."
Other players, however, were more disgusted by the infringement on Tlusty's personal life. Aside from the damaging photos, Taylor has also suggested that Tlusty may be gay.
"It has nothing to do with anything he does on the ice," forward Chad Kilger said. "I don't think it's appropriate for any of you to be talking about it."
Taylor disagreed with that assessment.
"I guess he didn't know any better," Taylor said on a Toronto morning radio show yesterday. "I don't feel bad at all, because you know what, you've got to realize if you're a celebrity or a professional athlete and you're in the public eye, you need to watch your back. You can't be sending photos of yourself out to people."
From suspensions to injuries to nude photos, this has been an unusually strange start to the Leafs season. Here are some highlights:
12 Mark Bell is suspended 15 games by the NHL for violating the league's substance abuse policy, an issue that arose from an alcohol-related hit-and-run conviction in California.
16 Goaltender Vesa Toskala is booed by Toronto fans during an intra-squad exhibition game after failing to stop the first shot he faced.
8 Jason Blake, who was criticized for going the first three games without a goal, announces he has been diagnosed with a rare but treatable form of leukemia.
15 Bryan McCabe is booed by Toronto fans and referred to as "McKlutz" after scoring an overtime goal in his own net against the Sabres.
25 Ferguson reportedly offers 16-year-old John Tavares, the expected No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft, an AHL contract to play with the Marlies.
13 McCabe resumes whipping-boy role after coughing up a breakaway pass to a Montreal player for yet another overtime loss.

If I were to make these again I would NOT use the food processor to mix things, I'd just mix with my hands. And use bread crumbs or dry bread because these patties felt like eating meal slime. The flavor is fine, could use a little more kick I think, and I think the burst of whole berries mixed in would be much more interesting than blending them in undetectable (what's the point of having them in there if you don't get to taste them?).
Blueberry-Beef Burgers
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
Whatever the season, burgers remain America's favorite sandwich. When it is too cold to grill outdoors, broil the patties or use an indoor grill. In addition to the standard fixings—ketchup, salsa, onions and tomatoes—make your burgers more nutritious by adding dark greens, such as watercress or spinach.
5 Reviews for Blueberry-Beef Burgers
Very simple to make recipe with amazing results. Can't wait to have it again!
These burgers are an AMAZING break from the traditional, fatty, dry summer cookout burgers to which I have grown accustomed. I caramelized some red onions, and used them, some spinach, brown deli mustard, and a slice of low-fat provolone. YUMMY!!! However, I used venison instead of ground beef (no one noticed). All my friends flipped over them. I WILL be making these again.
A great suprise, it was amazingly very good, the layers of dejon mustard and blueberries with the beef
This is one of my secrets, too. People say that the blueberries (if noticeable) work well with the cheese if added.
Also I heard that blueberries mixed with ground beef makes it tastier if you have to reheat the burger.
I ad other things, too, sometimes (yellow mustard & worcestershire sauce) before cooking.

Flower of the Month: The Aster Flower
Asters, also known as Michaelmas daisies, are perennial flowers that bloom in late summer and fall. They come in several bright colors like white, pink, purple and red.
There are many, many types of asters. Some reach 8 inches in height while others can reach up to 8 feet. One of the biggest benefits to planting the aster flower is that you'll be able get blooms of rich color well into the fall, when most of your flowers begin to wilt or die. Aster plants will also attract butterflies to your garden.
These perennial flowers can be planted in average soil, as long as they're given full sunlight. If they're planted in a shaded area, they tend to slump down a little bit. Full sunlight will ensure they stand straight and tall.
You should plant in spring and space the plants 1 to 3 feet apart. Loosen a foot of soil and mix in 2 to 4 inches of compost. Dig a hole twice as wide as the plant and place the aster inside. Then pack the soil gently.
To learn more about the aster flower or to get more ideas and inspiration for your garden, fill out or instant estimate form or give us a call at: (818) 244-4000.

Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones" titled "Breaker of Chains" contained one of the most controversial and talked about sex scenes to appear in a television program. On the Red Carpet posted a discussion of the scene on April 21 that explored the thoughts and feelings of those closest to the scene – the actors, director and author of the books on which the series is based. If you have not watched the episode, be warned there are spoilers ahead.
The scene in question took place between Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and her twin brother Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). The siblings-cum-lovers are the parents of the slain King Joffrey, whose body lays an altar in the room. Cersei is grieving when Jaime enters the room. She demands he avenge their son's death. Jaime, who has been longing for her but holding his urges at bay, can wait no longer and takes her, albeit against her will, right there.
Coster-Waldau admitted it had been a difficult scene to shoot. When asked if he felt the scene was a rape scene, he replied, "Yes, and no. There are moments where she gives in, and moments where she pushes him away. But it's not pretty."
He explained that it took some time for him to wrap his own head around it knowing that no matter what, for some people, it will look like rape.
In the George R.R. Martin "Song of Ice and Fire" novels, the scene does take place in the third book but in a somewhat altered telling. It is not, in fact, a rape at all. In "A Storm of Swords," Jaime asks Cersei to marry him and wants to have another son "in place of Joffrey."
Coster-Waldau tried to explain Jaime's psychology:
"To understand the psychology behind it, and why he goes as far as he does, was really difficult. To me it became, 'When does physical desire take over?' It's one of those things where he's been holding it back for so long, and then out of anger he grabs her, and instinct takes over, and he lets loose. He says, 'I don't care.' He wants to not care. He has to connect to her, and he knows this is the most [expletive] way for it to happen, but in that moment, he knows it's all he can do. It's an act of powerlessness."
Director Alex Graves saw the scene from an entirely different perspective. For him, it was more about the fact that their son, Joffrey, is lying there, dead, while the whole thing takes place. Joffrey was their everything, their first born, their sin and lust, their love. Without him, what's next for them?
Author George R. R. Martin wrote the scene differently than it was portrayed on television. In the book, Jaime is not present when Joffrey dies. Cersei has had no word from Jaime and fears he, too, is dead. Then he appears, maimed and somewhat different from the man she had known but still her Jaime. Though Cersei is afraid of them being discovered together and well aware that the timing and location are immensely inappropriate, "she is as hungry for him as he is for her."
Martin believes the scene would have been received better by some if it had retained some of the original dialogue.
"If the show had retained some of Cersei's dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression," he wrote, adding: "The scene was always intended to be disturbing... but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons."
Some of the uproar is attributed to fans disliking the departure from the books while others were upset by what seems an unnecessary act of violence toward a woman. With Jaime seemingly on the road to redemption since last season, some felt it was out of character for Jaime. Others see the act as the culmination of Jaime's frustration with Cersei and his longstanding habit of solving problems with violence. In that light, the act seems wholly within his character.
Where do you stand on the incestuous rape scene between Jaime and Cersei Lannister on Sunday night's "Game of Thrones"?

College Hockey:Lomberg notches three points as Maine romps past American International
ORONO, Maine – The Maine Black Bears improved to 9-1 at home as Ryan Lomberg notched two goals and an assist while leading Maine to a 5-1 victory over the American International Yellow Jackets Saturday night at Alfond Arena, as the Black Bears swept the weekend series.
Maine goaltender Dan Sullivan returned in-between the pipes after not getting any play time since Nov., 4 2012, in a 4-0 loss against New Hampshire. AIC's Chris Porter wasted no time welcoming the opposing goaltender back, scoring off the rebound given up on a shot from Blake Peake just 31 seconds in. This was the lone goal for the Yellow Jackets.
"I was nervous, still just getting into the game there," said Sullivan.
Maine answered with a goal from its freshmen line. Brian Morgan sent a shot toward AIC goalie Ryan Kerpan that went wide. Cam Brown collected the pick behind the net and sent it to Blaine Byron, who knocked the puck past Kerpan off a one-timer.
Maine took the lead in the second when Lomberg fed a pass to Mark Anthoine, who shot it on net. Kerpan made the save, then gave up a rebound and Stu Higgins knocked it in at 8:19.
Just under two minutes later, Lomberg passed the puck to Anthoine, who took a slap shot. Kerpan made the initial save, but struggled to collect the rebound just out of his reach. Lomberg capitalized on the loose puck and buried it in the back of the net at 10:14.
"That was definitely our best line; it was good for Lomberg to have a night like that," said Maine coach Red Gendron.
Early in the third, Daniel Renouf's shot was deflected to Brian Morgan, who beat the AIC goalie to the far corner to make it 4-1 at 2:39.
Lomberg capped the scoring on a wrist shot past Kerpan at 11:01; Devin Shore got an assist on the goal, extending his point streak to seven games.
"Obviously, we were more disappointed in the results last night, but it was a much better team effort tonight," said AIC coach Gary Wright.
Maine will now look to get its first road victory, as the team travels to Florida to compete in the 2013 Florida College Classic.
American International will get some rest and return to action when it hosts Air Force on Friday, Jan. 3.

Okay so you're young, freshly employed and one credit card away from being considered an official adult – which means it's time to start talking about retirement. Now that you have a steady stream of income, planning for the future should be first and foremost on your "to do" list. After all, retirement isn't a given like it was for your parents' generation.
With the economy still struggling to get back on its feet, more and more people are finding themselves forced to work long after their 65th birthday just to keep their heads above water. If you don't want to be a part of America's growing white-haired workforce, then you need to start planning for your golden years NOW.
The tried and true approach to retirement finances is the Roth IRA. If you've ever taken an econ class in high school or college, then you've undoubtedly heard how a 25-year-old can earn $1.4 million for retirement just by putting $5,000 a year into one of these savings programs. In a nutshell, a Roth IRA will return about 8% of your total investment annually in interest. As you contribute to the IRA, this interest will start to add up – like it does on your card – so that after 40 years, it will account for 86% of your total savings. Now, that's a lot of money, but there's a catch. You can only enjoy the tax-free benefits of a Roth IRA if you wait until you're 65 to pull the money out. While you can withdraw your contributions to the account whenever you like, you can only withdraw the interest when the IRA matures or else you have to pay taxes and a 10% penalty. The only exception to this rule is when you want to make a down payment on a home.
While a Roth IRA is superior to simply stashing your money away in a savings or money market account, the yearly contributions and strict withdrawal rules can be costly for young professionals. As a result, many financial experts are advising young people to invest in the stock market instead. Studies have shown that by exposing yourself to the market while you're young, you can reduce your lifetime risk of a bad investment by 20%. On top of that, you can earn exponentially more money over time by diversifying your money – for example, putting it into savings bonds, sure-thing large-cap indexes and risky-but-rewarding small-cap indexes.
So how do you get started in the stock market? Well, the first thing you need to do is pay off that one credit card balance you've left lingering since college. Since you're going to be tying up a significant portion of your income for the next five years, you'll want to take care of all your debts, including your credit card payments. Once you're fully in the black, it's time to decide how to split up your investments. We recommend putting your money into large capitalization indexes – think Wal-Mart, Microsoft and Google – and savings bonds until you've got a little more wiggle room to take a chance on small-cap investments like tech start-ups. After you've got your investment plan in order, the only thing left to do is to contribute a portion of your paycheck every month, and you'll be off on your way to a financially secure retirement – and maybe even another card or two.
Keep in mind, this is a quick and dirty explanation of how the market works. Investing in stocks – especially those short-term investments that make middle classers into millionaires – is a complicated subject. It can take years to figure out, so we suggest taking a class and doing some research on your own before you start moving to riskier investments. The important thing is to get started while you're still young. That way, by the time you retire you'll have enough in the market to be able to sell off all your shares and cruise into your golden years in style. As far as this one credit card blog is concerned, that's something worth working towards.

Apple forces Mac App Store developers to sandbox applications
Limiting potential vulnerabilities
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Apple has instructed developers that all applications submitted to the Mac App Store will have to be sandboxed.
Apple launched its Mac App Store as a way of delivering the instant gratification its Iphone and Ipod Touch users have gotten used to with IOS on the firm's Mac OS X operating system. Now the cappuccino company has said that all applications submitted for approval after 1 March 2012 must use sandboxing.
With Apple having final say on what appears on its various App Stores, there is little chance of developers getting out of sandboxing their applications. From the users' point of view, Apple's insistence that developers sandbox their applications should help contain the damage caused by any malware.
Sandboxing is a popular way of restricting resources to applications and has been implemented in many 'app containers' such as web browsers. The problem is that it doesn't tackle the causes of malware, only the effects, meaning that applications could still have vulnerabilities, but the potential damage is far less.
Apple's announcement gives developers ample time to make the changes needed to their applications in order to work in a sandboxed environment. It also gives Apple fanbois a chance to keep that undeserved air smugness for just a little while longer. µ

« Three pairs of fuzzy wildcat toesocks …and three pairs of feet, purrrfect! | More space madness!!! »
by niqkita
March 20th, 2005
Vernal Equinox & Toe Socks
For those of us in the northern hemisphere today was the start of spring…
for those of us in the Northwest spring has been here nearly a month, but today, it's official and to celebrate we have another fresh batch of toe socks ready to go home and warm your toes and balance your feet.
These are from the TOETOE label, previously AllThere toesocks, my personal favorite toesocks EVER! Not that there is anything wrong with the other 20 or so choices we offer, in fact, you might like some of them better, but for me these are perfect! The toes fit each and every one of my toes to a T, no slippage on my baby toes, even after many hours of activity or sleep. One reason they may not be ideal for some of you is that, unlike the Feelmax versions, these have formed heels, not good if you happen to be out of their size range, but it is a generous size range so chances are these will fit (we'll get some smaller & larger opinions in soon too).
Not only did we get these in 4 fun stripy choices that are nearly knee high (on shorter legs like mine), we got their anklets in black, white & rainbows and a half dozen solid midcalf choices too. If you remember my longtime fav elephant toes, we have those back, now they call them smoke.
2 soxy thoughts:
I forgot to mention that I'm wearing one of the purple striped with one of the red multi stripes. I like the mix of pink & red stripes on these and the purple is a really nice purple, deeper & richer than it appears in the photo…
i like-a the reds-a. i dunno, suddenly italian?

Most people know a raisin is a dried grape. What most people don't know is that April 30 is National Raisin Day. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking and brewing.
Raisin varieties depend on the type of grape used, and are made in a variety of sizes and colors including green, black, blue, purple and yellow. Raisins are traditionally sun-dried, but may also be water-dipped and artificially dehydrated.
There are four grades of raisins in the United States. They are classified as Grade A, B, C, and substandard based on the color, flavor and weight.
Raisins can contain up to 72% sugars by weight, most of which is fructose and glucose. They also contain about 3% protein and 3.7% - 6.8% dietary fiber. Raisins are also high in certain antioxidants but have a lower vitamin C content than fresh grapes. Raisins are low in sodium and contain no cholesterol.
Raisins are low in fat and contain important nutrients like iron, copper, calcium, and antioxidants. Raisins first became commercially popular in 1873 when a heat wave destroyed acres and acres of California grape vines. One grapes grower decided to sell the dried grapes and marketed them as a delicacy. Today, California produces half of the world's raisin supply.
People have been dehydrating grapes to make raisins for thousands of years. The practice originated in Persia and Egypt dating back to 2000 B.C. Raisins were also highly prized by the Ancient Romans, who used this delicious snack food to barter. They also awarded raisins as prizes at sporting events.
To celebrate National Raisin Day, you can eat them in your breakfast cereal, in cookies, puddings, breads, smoothies, salads or straight from the box as a snack.

A rarity amongst capital cities, this particular city is warm and friendly and gains the majority of its new visitors as a result of the personal recommendations from other people. The people involved in the hospitality trade in Greater Edinburgh realise that in order to keep people returning time after time they must provide a first class service every time and for the greater part this is exactly what they do.

The souvenirs on offer in this city are also widely regarded as a cut above the rest, with the world famous Arran sweater leading in the popularity stakes year after year.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- There are 25.8 million people in the United States with diabetes, that's about one in every twelve people. Diabetes is often called the silent killer because there can be no warning signs, or signs you didn't know to look out for. Researchers reveal diabetes symptoms you need to know to take control of your health.
Shannon Lyles is a registered nurse, diabetes educator, and was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at 16 after she realized something was really wrong.
"I was getting up four, five, six times a night and it just kept progressively getting worse," Shannon P. Lyles, BSN, RN, CDE, Registered Nurse Specialist, University of Florida, Pediatric Endocrinology, told Ivanhoe.
"Typical features are polydipsia, meaning drinking too much, and polyuria, urinating too much," Desmond Schatz, MD, Professor and Associate Chairman of Pediatrics, Medical Director, Diabetes Center, University of Florida College of Medicine, told Ivanhoe.
Dr. Schatz says those are two common signs of diabetes, but there are lesser known symptoms we shouldn't ignore.
"A child, for example, who's been potty trained and then suddenly starts wetting the bed at night. Constipation may occur in addition, particularly in those patients who are under the age of ten, and the appearance of recurrent boils on the skin," Dr. Schatz explained.
Also, look for changes in a child's energy, and for girls, "we certainly can explain it in babies with diapers, but if a five or six year old develops recurrent vaginal infections, you should think about diabetes," Dr. Schatz said.
Call it a twist of fate or mere coincidence, but Dr. Schatz diagnosed Shannon over a decade ago and today they partner up in the fight against diabetes.
"It's forever. So, it's never going away unless they come up with a cure," Shannon said.
CDC numbers show that there are 25.8 million people in the U.S. with diabetes and seven million have not been diagnosed yet. Alarming statistics, but doctors remain optimistic.
"There's always hope," Dr. Schatz said.
Adults should be aware of high blood pressure, kidney damage, nerve damage, and if left undiagnosed the result could be fatal.

Travel Hack of the Century
If I told you that you could own the airways with the ultimate status on US Airways and it would only cost you $3,500 would you do it? What if you could do it in 3 weeks?
Its called a "Mileage Run". If you saw the last post I did "Airlines Miles Gigolo" and didnt do it, here is another chance.
THIS IS CLEARLY MY HACK OF THE CENTURY. By far the best hack I have seen to date for the amount of money spent.
This is the link for the current promotion released early this morning.
US Airways
Here is the cliff note version. Fly routes on the above checklist and you will move up in status for every 4 items you check off. Here is how I am going to become the highest of the members and also Star Alliance GOLD.
My Account has about 5,000 miles in it now. I need about 20,000 for the first of 4 levels on the preferred list.
My routes with example dates
1-Omaha to Boston 7/15
2-Boston to NYC 7/15
3-NYC to Boston 7/16
4-Boston to Platsburg, NY 7/16
5-Platsburg, NY to Philly 7/16
6-Philly to Alaska 7/17
Total miles 6,345 and total cost $1253
7-Alaska to Phx 7/22
8-Phx to Jamaca 7/23
9-Jamaca to Charlotte 7/28
10-Charlotte to Melborne 7/29
11-Melborne to Charlotte 8/1
12-Charlotte to Baton Rouge 8/2
13-Baton Rouge to Charlotte 8/3
Total Miles 8,995 total cost 1,294.20
14-Charlotte to Los Cabos 8/4
15-Los Cabos to LAX 8/8
16-LAX to Hawaii 8/9
Total Miles 6,874 total cost 1,000
Grand Total in Miles 22,214 and cost is 3547.20
Remember I had 5,000 to start. With the addition of the above miles I earn the first level and with the 16 legs, I become eligible for 3 levels. Putting me at the cream of the crop.
So is it worth it? Lets see, I now get all of the following; (straight from the US Airways Website)
Chairman's Preferred Life is better when you're Preferred. Here's a peek at all the perks you'll enjoy…

So I've been accepted...Now what?
Congratulations and welcome to Penn State Greater Allegheny! We understand how overwhelming the process of enrolling into a college can be. That's why we've created this step-by-step checklist to assist you. Below you will find an outline of what you will need to do for admissions, financial aid, and registration. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions along the way!
Attend the accepted student offer reception.
You will be invited to attend an Offer Reception on campus where you will have an opportunity to meet with campus faculty and staff, have dinner, take a tour with current students, and meet other students who have been accepted to Penn State Greater Allegheny. This is a way to celebrate your achievement and to find out what comes next in the process.
Submit the FAFSA.
We recommend that new students submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 1 for maximum consideration of aid. If you haven't already done so, go online and submit your FAFSA to Penn State using the Federal School Code 003329. Call the Student Aid office at 412-675-9155 if you have questions.
Verify the processing of your FAFSA by reviewing the Student Aid Report (SAR).
In order for your FAFSA to process and be sent to Penn State, you must verify that all the information is correct. A few days to a week after you submit your FAFSA online, you will be sent an email prompting you to log back into FAFSA's website to view your Student Aid Report, or SAR. The SAR consists of all your answers to the FAFSA questions, and this is your chance to verify that you haven't made any mistakes. Once you verify all information is correct, your FAFSA will process and be sent to Penn State. It's important that you don't miss this step, or your FAFSA will never arrive at Penn State.
Receive your student aid award notification.
Beginning in mid-March, Penn State sends out notifications to all accepted students regarding the student aid they are receiving. Provided that you have an offer of admission and have submitted your FAFSA, you should receive your notification sometime shortly after the middle of March. After March, award notifications are sent out weekly depending on when students complete the FAFSA and are accepted.
Sign your Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note and apply for additional funding, if necessary.
If you are borrowing money through a Federal Stafford Loan, you will need to sign your Master Promissory Note before your loans disburse. If you find you need additional funding, our Financial Aid Office can help you find some alternative loan sources you can explore. The important thing to remember as you work through this process is to ask if you have any questions.
Respond to your offer of admission by paying the acceptance fee and general deposit.
This $230 non-refundable fee is your way of telling us you're coming to Penn State. You have until May 1 to pay your acceptance fee, but the sooner you pay the sooner you can get started on the testing and advising process. You can pay your acceptance fee online through your MyPennState account or by contacting Admissions.
Submit a request for housing.
If you are interested in on-campus housing, submit a request for a housing contract using the eLiving system at www.eLiving.psu.edu - Act fast, as housing is limited and cannot be guaranteed.
Requesting a transcript.
If you have taken college-in-high school or dual enrollment courses, request an official college transcript from the credit-granting college upon completion of the class and have it sent to Penn State.
Taking the placement test.
Placement testing will be available on-line in November for Spring admits and in March for Summer or Fall admits. You will receive a postcard with information about the tests and the deadline.
Attend New Student Orientation.
After completing your placement testing, you will be contacted by Academic Affairs with an invitation to the New Student Orientation (NSO) where you will meet with an academic adviser to choose your first semester's courses and learn more about Penn State Greater Allegheny.
Class begin dates.
Spring 2016 classes begin Monday, January 11. Fall 2016 classes begin Monday, August 22.
Contact us.
If you have questions about any of these steps, we are accessible by phone, e-mail, and AOL Instant Messenger throughout the day. Personal appointments and campus tours can be arranged at your convenience. The Penn State Greater Allegheny Admissions is located in Frable 123. To contact us, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 412-675-9010.

Police Sextuple Protesters at News Corp. Demonstration
Two protesters, twelve officers.
"A dozen cops are guarding the building with those barricade things they use during the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. Yet there are TWO protesters!" a Rupert Murdoch employee tipped to Romenesko today. "I heard some screaming about 'the banks.'" News Corp. and the NYPD have a special arrangement, and neither particularly like protesters, so we are not shocked.

A look now at stadia that have hosted the game in the past, those slated for future matchups, and of course a check on this year's host: the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Caroline Manzo recently quit The Real Housewives of New Jersey after five seasons with the show, and now, it's rumored that Manzo and her family could be leaving the state of New Jersey all together!
Over the weekend, Manzo and her family visited a seven-bedroom estate for sale in Studio City, Calif., which led fans to believe that she could be heading for a west coast move.
"They were looking at houses while out in California for business," one insider confirmed to Radar Online on March 3. "Caroline, her husband, Albert, and kids Albie, Chris, and Lauren, toured several homes together and liked what they saw."
Currently, the Manzos are busy with their family business in New Jersey, and are also filming a spinoff series in town, so a move right now may not make sense, but when considering Manzo's possible dreams of expansion, it may make sense that she would not only buy a house, but also open a restaurant in Los Angeles.
But according to the source, they aren't quite ready yet.
"They're not moving out of their New Jersey home just yet. They're considering buying a second house in California for when they're out there for extended business or vacations," the source explained. "They have a lot of new projects coming up this year, so it's a very exciting time for them."
Once Manzo's promotional duties and travels come to an end, moving to Los Angeles, at least part-time would make sense. In fact, she may have a great idea for Manzo'd With Children season two!
