How to Take Action to Stop Aquatic Invasive Species!
Boaters and Anglers:
*You may take leftover minnows away from any state water and use them again on that same water. You may use leftover minnows on other waters only if no lake or river water or other fish were added to their container.
Shawano County Park on the north shore, has installed a new free boat washing station for everyone's use. It is a convenient and fast way to power wash down your boat after use in other area lakes and before launching your boat in Loon Lake. Shawano Lake along with Cloverleaf Lakes, Moshawquit Lake, and Legend Lakes all have been found to be infested with adult and larval zebra mussels. By using this precautionary measure of boat washing will help prevent this invasive species from being transported into Loon Lake.

LOS ANGELES – The UCLA track and field team will open the 2014 indoor season at the NAU Invitational. The two-day event is scheduled to start on Friday, January 24 at the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome. Field events will begin at 4 p.m., with the track events slated to begin at 5 p.m.
"We have been in training for what seems to be forever," UCLA director of track and field Mike Maynard said. "It's nice to finally get into competition season. While we have had to become creative with our training, due to the construction of the new track, I believe that we are ready to kick off the season."
UCLA will be competing against host NAU, Arizona State, Cal St. Bakersfield, Southern Utah and Grand Canyon University. Also competing at the meet will be a host of running clubs such as Northern Arizona Elite, Team Run Flag and the Qatar national team. The Qatar national team's top athletes are Samuel Francis, Asian record holder in the 100m, and Femi Ogunode, 2010 200m and 400m Asian Games Champion.
The Bruins will not be sending their sprinters and hurdlers to the season opening meet as the resurfacing of the track at Drake Stadium has hindered their early season preparations.
"Our sprinters and hurdlers have been impacted the most by the placement of the new surfacing," Maynard said. "They haven't yet been able to do any type of speed work. As a result we will hold them out of this competition and plan to open them up the following week at New Mexico."
On the men's side, indoor All-Americans Marcus Nilsson (heptathlon) and Michael Woepse (pole vault) return for UCLA. Nilsson placed 15th at the NCAA championships in 2013 and was an outdoor All-American in the decathlon by placing third at the NCAA meet. Woepse cleared 18-0.50 to finish seventh at the NCAA indoor championships last year. He holds the third best mark in school history with a vault of 18-4.50.
On the women's side Brea Buchanan earned All-American honors and returns with All-American Kylie Price. Buchanan placed fifth at the NCAA indoor championships last season with an 8.16 in the 60m hurdles. Price jumped her way to All-American honors last season by placing seventh with a leap of 21-1.50.
The team will be split next weekend as the Bruins head to the New Mexico Team Invitational and the UW Invitational. Albuquerque will serve as the site host site for the NCAA Indoor Championships while the UW Invitational will be held in Seattle, Wash.

Authorities in the United States are issuing a toothpaste alert warning travelers over direct flights serving Russia, CNN reported Wednesday. The concern is that explosive materials could be secreted in toothpaste or cosmetic tubes.
Congressman Michael McCaul, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, said that the Department of Homeland Security issued the bulletin to airlines flying into Russia
McCaul said that the so-called 'toothpaste alert' indicated that officials believed the explosives might be used during flights headed to Russia and mos specifically, the Sochi Winter Olympic games which begin on Friday.
"While we are not aware of a specific threat to the homeland at this time, this routine communication is an important part of our commitment to making sure we meet that priority," a federal security official told ABC News. "As always, our security apparatus includes a number of measures, both seen and unseen, and DHS will continue to adjust security measures to fit an ever evolving threat environment."
"It's real. It's real and we got very good information," a government source, who did not want to speak for full attribution, told CNN. "It's based on a credible source. We're taking it seriously. So are other countries . ..."
The alert was issued by Homeland Security "out of an abundance of caution"
Flights over Europe
Most direct flights into from the US Russian fly over Europe. Russia has banned liquids in airline carry-on luggage. A former airline security chief told CNN that the threat prompted airlines to clamp down on on toothpaste and cosmetics.
"My prediction is that they will give a direct order that they'll be removing toothpaste from passenger's hand-carried items" said Glen Winn, a former security director at United and Continental airlines. Winn added that the ban may possibly be extended to checked luggage.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security did not say what kind of actions it is considering in the wake of the threat.
Toothpaste bombs?
Rep. Peter King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee's subcommittee on terrorism and Intelligence, told CNN that Americans should take the toothpaste threat "very seriously."
"Just as a spectator, I don't think it's worth the risk. I mean, odds are nothing is going to happen, but the odds are higher than for any other Olympics, I believe, that something could happen," he said.

Australia to US via Sri Lanka and Jordan (and Israel)?
I'm flying back to the US from Australia at the end of February, and decided to take advantage of some cheap flights and stop through Sri Lanka along the way. I've always wanted to see a bit of the middle east as well. Coincidentally, there are some cheap flights to Amman from Colombo.

What was the book about Israel a stranger was reading on the train?
Trying to remember a book a woman next to me was reading on the subway. It was contemporary nonfiction about Israeli politics and society. The title was something intriguing and maybe a little provocative; I'm pretty sure it contained the word "Israel". It was not specifically focused on the Israel-Palestine conflict. I think she may have described it as being about shifts in political or cultural identities in Israeli society. Sound familiar?

What credit card is best in life for traveling abroad? I'm in the U.S., headed to Israel next month. Would like to get a new credit card that has no foreign transaction fees and no annual fee. Any recommendations welcome. Thanks!
Theory that the biblical holy land was not in present day Israel
I'm trying to find an article by some historians that posited that the places described in the Bible we not actually in present day Israel. The historians had done some theorizing that the mountains and valleys mentioned in the bible (can't remember which book) fit better with an area in Saudi Arabia off the coast of the Red Sea. I've searched the Google but can't find any mention of this theory. I would love to find it again. Thanks, MeFi!
Best/cheapest smartphone access in Israel

Brilliant non-political commentary on the Israel-Hamas conflict
We've all seen and read written and spoken rhetoric that supports one side of the conflict. Are there any brilliant articles or speeches that expresss an original viewpoint that take a higher-level view - maybe from the psychological, sociological, or even evolutionary science point of view? Articles that don't take sides, that try to explain rather than to shout?
Is/Was Amos Oz speaking recently in New York City?
I thought I saw a recent announcement for a panel including Israeli author Amos Oz in New York City (perhaps as panel moderator). Now I can't remember where I saw it and Google hasn't been any help. Anyone know of a recent appearance in NYC or an upcoming one?
Help me track down an article I read on young Jewish settlers
Here's a tough one.... I read a long-form article online a few years ago about Jewish settlers in the West Bank. I remember that it focused on a few teenagers who squatted at an outpost that lacks things like electricity and running water. I definitely remember it was illustrated with photographs of the settlers. I think it focused on a few religious schools in the West Bank that produced these settlers, and was more a profile of the participants than anything else. It was from an English-language publication, probably a Jewish one. Ring any bells?
Help me feed my 20-something wanderlust. Difficulty level: Wheelchair
I'm like every other post-college twentysomething in lots of ways: I make too little money, watch too much Netflix and indulge in an existential crisis oh, about once an hour. Also, like many in my cohort, I love the idea of packing up a ratty old duffel bag and heading off to some far corner of the world to taste, see and do all I can, while maybe giving myself either a leg to stand on once I return to the job market here or the warm-n-fuzzies that come from volunteering and/or service learning. All pretty standard fare. Here comes the doozy of snowflake: I'm in a wheelchair and have certain difficulties with speech fluency, owing to my CP and spastic diplegia diagnosis. Try as I might, I can't get myself to give up on the dream of spending a year or more abroad, even with all this in my way. Help me get there, oh beautiful hivemind? [more inside]
Looking for info about a gold pendant from Israel

How much should potential visitors to Israel be worried about polio?
My family has planned, but have not purchased plane tickets for, a trip to see relatives in Israel a couple of months from now. We are concerned about the presence of wild polio virus there, apparently imported from Syria. The CDC is recommending that adults get a booster dose of IPV (the "killed" virus used in the countries, like the US, where polio infection has been essentially eradicated) and that kids are up to date with our vaccination; for our 3-year-old, this would mean getting her last dose of IPV early (though not so early as to violate any guidelines.) But Israeli children are getting OPV, the live vaccine. If I understand correctly, IPV is effective at preventing you from actually getting paralytic polio, but it does not prevent asymptomatic infection with poliovirus. [more inside]
Dead ends everywhere I look
That I've posed this question more than once before in various forms doesn't say very many good things, but the circumstances being what they are, I have to hope the answer is yet to be found. That's all I've got really- hope.I'm a 23 year old recent college grad ( in May, with a BA in psychology from Stony Brook University in NY), looking for love, a job, a journey and a purpose. I'm also in a wheelchair, unable to speak fluently in an increasing percentage of life situations, grossly overweight, unmotivated and uninspired. Help me build a life away from my couch and outside of daytime TV, Facebook and lies. [more inside]
Are Israelis really worried that they'll be hit by Syria in retaliation?
Israeli (or Israel-located) responses only, please. :) I'm flying to Israel this coming Sunday morning for a week-long vacation with my wife. The current plan is 1 day Jerusalem, 1 day Ramallah, 4 relaxing days on the beach in Tel Aviv. Now I'm trying to figure out whether I'll be flying into a war zone. [more inside]
Is it safe to visit Ramallah (West Bank) as an interracial couple?
I've been to Ramallah once before as a single guy (in the Summer of 2008), just walking across at the checkpoint in Jerusalem and grabbing a taxi, and I had a great time -- everyone was super friendly and extroverted, got by fine in English, fun shopping, tasty food, though I returned to Jerusalem at sundown so if it's really different at night I didn't see it. Now, I'm going back to Israel with my wife for the first time, and I want to show her Ramallah, but I want to double check first that this isn't a bad idea safety-wise for any reasons I might not be thinking of (security situation changing in the last 5 years, treatment of women travelers possibly different than treatment of men, etc.).

What direction should/can my life take now?
This one might be a doozy. So, I'm a 23 year old recent college grad ( this May) with a B.A. in psychology and no idea what to do with my life. ( Original, I know, but bear with me, it gets better.) Everyone around me seems to have what are at least well-outlined 5 year plans, oriented around either grad school or a great entry level job. Certain circumstances in my life though seem to leave me with a vision of the future that doesn't extend far beyond the living room couch and daytime TV for the next 10 years and that frightens me to no end.

What is that delicious wallpaper paste?
This morning I had this really nice Israeli spread - and I hesitate to use that word because it's quite liquidy - which I would like to know more about. What's in it? Can I buy it anywhere else? What is it called? The name is comething like "chrinach," it's considered a student food (cheap, easy to make), and it has a salty, maybe malty or yeasty taste. Making it is easy: start with a concentrated paste, add water little by little; add salt, garlic. Has the color and texture of wallpaper paste, but tastes awesome. Goes great with bread, vegetables.

MRI/MRA in Israel
Anybody know about the cost of getting an MRI or MRA in Israel (or Cairo)? This is my student insurance, and it puts imaging under "Included in the limits of liability". I'm not sure what that means.

I'll be in Jerusalem this summer and then in Cairo this fall, but am not sure what my insurance will be in Cairo (and I also know less about Egypt's health system in general). Thanks!

Vintage non-electric , gas burner based oven?
A few decades ago there was this enamel coated oven contraption, resplendent with a small glass door that slid down, that you'd put on the gas burner, it would heat up from below and could then be used as an ordinary baking device. It had virtually no inner parts, aside from maybe a coil. They had them in Europe and Israel - what were they called? Are they still made? (It isn't the Wonder Pot).

I know enough to know this is well out of my league and that she may develop PTSD from this, but she is unable (not unwilling) to seek treatment for another two weeks. What do I do? [more inside]

As you read this article, you may think - of course that's common sense. Very true, but common sense is not always common practice. We are all in sales. In fact, if you are in business for yourself, your success and the growth of your business or practice will be in direct proportion to how good and how comfortable you are at promoting yourself, your product or service and your company. But fundamentally, you're selling yourself. By and large people want to have a relationship with someone they like, respect and trust. The key is to replace selling with helping, sharing and solving and looking to create a win-win with your customers. How does this New Model of Selling contrast with the old way of selling?
The old selling model was as follows:
10% of the time was spent on building rapport
20% on qualifying
30% on presenting
40% on closing
When you think about that way of selling, the first thought that comes to mind is having a pushy salesperson who is trying to get you to buy something. And no one likes the experience of being sold to. The old model was based on the premise that you, as a salesperson, needed to outsmart your potential customer and sell hard in order to get them to buy. It was almost like a tug of war.
In contrast, have you ever watched individuals speak and found yourself listening to every word they said? You felt yourself being drawn in. It happened because they were being genuine, real and authentic. Authenticity plays a huge role in the new model.
In the new model of selling:
40% of the time is spent on building trust
30% on identifying needs
20% on presenting by matching your product or service to the specific needs
10% on the close
The focus is on the Human Element. And the Human element is often the missing link in the more traditional sales process. The most successful sales people, business owners or solo-preneurs are in fact great relationship experts. So your objective is to get the focus off of yourself and focus a whole heartedly on the other person. Always concentrate on building and maintaining a high level of trust. That is true whether you are selling online or offline. Nothing is more annoying than having someone constantly popping into your Twitter or Facebook feeds with a sales message when they haven't even taken the time to establish a rapport with you.
So let's take a moment to look at each phase of the new model.
Phase 1: Building TRUST
Here is what matters. Your customers want to build a relationship first. The relationship is way more important than your product or service. You should assume that your customers could buy something similar at a comparable price from someone else. But, the one and only thing, they cannot get by buying from one of your competitors is YOU. YOU are the biggest differentiator. You have to make the most of it. You have to find ways to differentiate yourself from the sea of competitors.
Two of the best ways to differentiate yourself are to concentrate on the relationship not the sale, and to remember that people buy feelings. They buy from people that make them feel good and valued. Trust is a critical factor in building any relationship, and the quality of a relationship is in direct proportion to the level of trust that exists between you and the other person.
One of the best ways to build rapport and trust is by telling your story. You might have heard that sentence before: facts tell, stories sell. Your story makes you unique and it will make the communication between you and your customer way more interesting and personal, and as a result, they'll want to hear more. And the more that they want to hear; the more they are likely to buy from you.
Phase 2: Needs Identification
Phase 1 is all about building trust, and the best way to develop trust is to focus on the customer needs. And you do that by asking questions and by intently listening to the answers. In other words, you make the conversation about them not about you. And when you do that, an interesting phenomenon happens, the prospective customer starts to make a mental shift and they start to help you help them justify the purchase. Remember people buy what they want and then they justify the purchase by convincing themselves that they needed it in the first place.
So in essence, you could get to the 70% mark by developing genuine rapport and by focusing on the prospective customer needs before you even get to talk to them about your product or service.
Phase 3: The Presentation.
You will not present your entire arsenal. You will only present the product(s) or service(s) that match the needs that have been identified in phase 2. You will focus solely on meeting the person's hot buttons. You will show them how you will overwhelmingly address their needs by buying your product or service. Focus on meeting no more than 3 of their most important needs. Focus on the need to have versus the nice to have.
The last phase is The Close.
While you will still need to ask for the order, by using this new way of selling, asking for the order will feel like a normal progression, more like a conversation, and not something you will have to wrestle with as much. And you may ask for the order by saying something like: When would you like to get started? Which options would suit your needs the best? When would you need it by? We refer to this method as a soft close or a trial close.
So in summary, the new way of selling is all about building trust, identifying needs, showing your customer how your product or service will help them improve their life and please don't forget the after sale service - customer service is often overlooked. You will build a more successful business with more ease and fun, and in a much shorter period of time, if you get a lot of repeat business and referrals --- and the one way to ensure you get repeat business and referrals is by delighting your customers after the sale is over. So follow up and follow through. Following up reinforces that they matter "as a person" first and as a customer second.
To effective selling - online and offline!

Dr. Birchfield began his research at Stanford, where he was part of the team that won first place at the AAAI Mobile Robotics Competition of 1994, and where he was supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. From 1999 to 2003 he was a research engineer with Quindi Corporation, a startup company in Palo Alto, California, where he developed algorithms for intelligent audio and video and was the lead engineer and principal architect of the Meeting Companion product. His experience in software engineering has led him to develop and maintain open-source computer vision software, such as the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi (KLT) feature tracker. Over the years he has worked with or consulted for various companies, including Sun Microsystems, SRI International, Canon Research Center, and Autodesk. His research interests are in computer vision, stereo correspondence, visual tracking, microphone array calibration, acoustic localization, and mobile robot navigation.
Current Research
Vehicle segmentation, tracking, and classification: State departments of transportation around the country have installed thousands of cameras along the highway, primarily in urban areas. Because the amount of data is too much for manual processing, there is a need to automatically process live video from these cameras to determine vehicle counts, speeds, and classes (e.g., cars, trucks, or motorcycles). These data are important for applications such as traffic planning, incident detection, and roadway safety. Dr. Birchfield and his students are developing computer vision software to perform this automatic video processing in real time, as well as developing methods for automatically calibrating cameras to enable the software to work with pan-tilt-zoom cameras.
Minirhizotron image analysis: To study the effects of environmental changes upon ecosystems, plant researchers bury small transparent tubes (called minirhizotrons) at an angle in the ground next to the plants being studied. By sliding a miniature camera into each tube at regular intervals, still images of the roots seen through the tubes is collected. The result is an overwhelming amount of data that must be tediously analyzed by hand. The goal of this research is to automate the procedure of extracting, identifying, and measuring roots in minirhizotron images to facilitate such data collection and analysis.
Mobile robot mapping and navigation: The ability of a mobile robot to navigate a new environment, build a map of the environment, and follow a path between two locations is important for many applications. For example, a courier robot may need to deliver items from one office to another in the same building, or even in a different building; a delivery robot may need to transport parts from one machine to another in an industrial setting; a robot may need to travel along a prespecified route to give a tour of a facility; or a team of robots may need to follow the path taken earlier by a scout robot. In this research, we are developing software to enable automatic map-building and navigation of a mobile robot using a single off-the-shelf camera mounted on the front. Because the algorithms generally do not require calibration, they are easy to use and applicable to mass deployment. One of the aspects of this research is looking at ways of combining the two representations that psychologists have determined are important for humans to navigate an environment, namely route (images captured at run time) and survey (top-down) representations.

"General Hospital" writers are setting things up for February sweeps and the story lines are getting fans sucked in. Between a disappearance and an unplanned pregnancy, lives will be changed in Port Charles forever. Last week ended with Heather holding Carly captive in the Quartermaine boathouse and Felix telling Patrick and coincidentally Robin, about Sabrina's pregnancy. According to a Jan. 10 report from We Love Soaps, Franco will be arrested for Carly's disappearance and Patrick will confront Sabrina. It looks like things are about to get tense.
Fans know that Heather Webber grabbed Carly and is working to frame Franco. The problem is, Franco thinks Heather is dead because he buried her. While all the evidence points to him, someone is going to have to believe in his innocence. Will it be Kiki? When word of Carly's misfortune spreads, Lucas heads back to Port Charles to support Bobbie while they search for Carly. Will this lead to a run-in with Julian Jerome? Patrick wants answers from Sabrina, but what will she tell him? After the wedding didn't happen she spent the night with Carlos but nothing happened. Will she allow Patrick to believe that Carlos is the father?
The upcoming weeks on "General Hospital" should be interesting and dramatic. Several story lines will be wrapping up while others are just getting started. Fans can catch the show on ABC at 1 p.m. CST.

I am using RouterTik OS as my edge router. My clients are connected to one of the LAN cards of this router PC. One of my clients has a MacBook. He can discover all the clients connected to that LAN card. How can i restrict my clients from discovering each other?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Oct 26 '10 at 11:43
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
Using an Ethernet switch will mean that one PC can't view traffic directly between two other computers on the same LAN (older Ethernet hubs allowed PCs to capture such traffic).
To prevent a PC from observing broadcast traffic sent by other PCs, you would have to place each PC into a separate broadcast domain. Some routers support VLANs, which is one way to achieve this. Place each PC into a separate VLAN. You can then use router rules to decide which traffic is allowed between PCs. This places a large load on your router and on it's administrator.
You say "RouterTik OS" but if you mean a MikroTik wireless router running RouterOS then the above does not apply. Your MikroTik router may have settings that segregate PCs.
One way ti isolate clients - use separate VLAN each client. Other way - use filter rules that block broadcasts from clients to clients in switch that support filtering

Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) Named One of the Most Corrupt Members of Congress
Washington, D.C. – Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Rep. Rob Andrews (D-NJ) as one of the most corrupt members of Congress. Rep. Andrews used campaign money for personal expenses, such as a family trip to Scotland, and for expenses associated with advancing his daughter's show business career. The congressman also earmarked more than $1.5 million to his wife's employer, the Rutgers University School of Law. All of this conduct earned him a spot in CREW's Most Corrupt Members of Congress report, an annual, bipartisan look at Washington's worst.
Click here to read the full report on Rep. Andrews
"A federal campaign account is not a personal piggy bank," said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. "It seems clear Rep. Andrews has been using the generosity of his donors to finance his lifestyle. It is time for the Federal Election Commission and the House Ethics Committee to hold Rep. Andrews accountable for his conduct."
In June 2011, Rep. Andrews spent more than $30,000 from his campaign and leadership political action committees on a family trip to Scotland to attend a donor's wedding. Additionally, Rep. Andrews has found numerous ways to use campaign funds to support his daughter's show business career. Over the past five years, Rep. Andrews' campaign committee has spent at least $97,000 on trips to California, at least one of which coincided with dates the congressman's daughter, Josie Andrews, had recording sessions in Los Angeles. Rep. Andrews' campaign committee also donated more than $100,000 between 2007 and 2011 to Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theater, where Ms. Andrews has performed repeatedly.
"Rep. Andrews is the new poster child for converting campaign funds for personal use," continued Ms. Sloan. "Such flagrant and repeated violations merit tough sanctions and perhaps even criminal prosecution."
This is the eighth edition of CREW's Most Corrupt report, an annual look at unethical conduct by members of Congress. This year's list includes seven Democrats and 13 Republicans; nine are repeat offenders. Since 2005, CREW has named 81 members of Congress to the list, 32 of whom are no longer in office.

Being thrown to your doom
I noticed that when you blow yourself up, or walk/jump of the edge out of pure stupidity, it gives a respone that varies depending on your player model's gender. So can someone replace "<player name1> was thrown to their doom by <player name 2>" with "<player name 1> was thrown to his doom by <player name 2>" for the guys and "<player name 1> was thrown to her doom by <player name 2>" for the girls?
I doubt anyone would want to upload such a mod, or do one.
But if you are interested, open up your assets0.pk3 go to strings/english/mp_ingame.str
Extract that file, and edit it with notepad, and then pk3 it.
You'd need a mod to do it, alas. You can't do it by just changing the string, because they only made a generic, no-gender fall string.

MODELS OF TEACHING: INDICATORS INFLUENCING TEACHERS' PERCEPTION OF PEDAGOGICAL CHOICE by Alison Michelle Nordyke A Dissertation Presented to the FACULTY OF THE USC ROSSIER SCHOOL OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF EDUCATION August 2011 Copyright 2011 Alison Michelle Nordyke

|The models of teaching are systematic tools that allow teachers to vary their classroom pedagogical practices to meet the needs of all learners in their classroom. This study was designed to determine key factors that influence teachers' decisions when determining a model of teaching for classroom instruction and to identify how teacher training on the models of teaching in a pre-service or in-service program affect teachers' fidelity to these pedagogical practices. In this mixed method study, participants responded to both survey and interview questions to determine their understanding and usage of the models of teaching. Results indicated that teachers trained in the models of teaching in a pre-service program were more likely to use the models correctly in classroom instruction. Additionally the findings suggested that teachers identified similar factors that influenced their selection of pedagogical practices for classroom instruction regardless of the time period in which they were trained in the models of teaching. The interview results found that teachers indicated student ability level, allotment of time for lesson, lesson objectives, academic content standards, and the group of students being taught as the factors that greatest influenced their decision when selecting a model of teaching for classroom instruction. A foundation in the models of teaching as a use for pedagogical practice ensures a teacher will be more likely to use the varied frameworks for classroom instruction (Eggen & Kauchak, 2006: Hess, 2003; Miller, 2008).

About the Ticket Supplier: Imago Theatre
Carol Triffle and Jerry Mouawad, the creators of Imago, have been called alchemists, magicians, theatrical animators, and physical comedians.
Defying classification, they have populated the stage with characters and beings such as comedic amphibians, acrobatic larvae, circus boulders, and metamorphosing humans in works which tantalize the senses, the intellect, and the passions. From adaptations of classics to excursions into vaudevillian existentialism, Imago's repertoire is as vast as the forms they shape. With commissions for stage, film, and television, Imago blurs the lines of the expected to break new ground, exploding performance boundaries yet maintaining humor and humanity.
Imago Theatre tours internationally while also producing a season at its home base in Portland, Oregon. The company's critically acclaimed productions FROGZ and ZooZoo have played at the prestigious New Victory Theatre on Broadway.
"A mastery of mime, dance and acrobatics."

Health & Pregnancy
Home Pregnancy Tests
Why It Is Done
A home pregnancy test is done to detect pregnancy by detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine.
How To Prepare
You can buy home pregnancy test kits at the drugstore or grocery store. You don't need a prescription.
The test kits generally have plastic dipsticks or test strips and instructions that explain how to do the test. Some kits have a urine collection cup and a dipstick that you dip in urine. Midstream kits have a test strip that you hold in your stream of urine for several seconds. All kits tell you to wait a specific amount of time before reading the results.
When to test
Home pregnancy kits can be used on the first day of a missed menstrual period. But the test results are more accurate if you wait a few days longer. If you do the test as soon as you have missed a period and the results show you are not pregnant (negative results), repeat the test in 1 week if your menstrual period has not started, or have a pregnancy test done at your doctor's office or a clinic.
General instructions
For any home test, you should follow some general guidelines:
- Check the expiration date on the package. Do not use a test kit after its expiration date-the chemicals in the kit may not work correctly after that date.
- Store the test kits as directed. Many kits need to be stored in a refrigerator or cool place.
- Read the instructions that come with your test carefully and thoroughly before doing the test. Look for any special preparations you need to take before doing the test, such as avoiding certain foods or limiting your physical activity.
- Follow the directions exactly. Do all the steps, in order, without skipping any of them.
- If a step in the test needs to be timed, use a clock. Do not guess at the timing.
- Many home kits show color changes on a test strip. If you are color blind or have trouble seeing different colors, have someone else read the test results for you.
- Record the results of the test so you can discuss them with your health professional.

What do fresh oysters, whales and a historic lighthouse have in common? They are all found along the coastline of West Marin on the bucolic Point Reyes peninsula.
Built in 1870, the Point Reyes lighthouse is a lonely outpost set on the cliffs of the peninsula's windy, fog-shrouded western tip. It was once powered by a massive French-made Fresnel lens, which sent out a bright beam that could be seen some 20 miles away. The light warned mariners about Point Reyes' rocky headlands until 1975, when it was replaced by an automated light. The National Park Service has since maintained this historic structure, preserving the legacy of an era when lightkeepers manned lighthouses up and down the coast of California.
January is the height of the gray whale-watching season and the lighthouse is a perfect spot to watch the leviathans on their bi-annual migration along the coast. Indeed, during our recent visit, we saw several silvery spouts and whale tails splashing the surface far in the distance, a fleeting but magical sight that delighted everyone scanning the ocean that day.
The Point Reyes Lighthouse and Visitor Center's winter hours are 10AM to 4:30PM Fridays through Mondays (closed Tuesdays through Thursday.) On weekends and holidays, visitors are required to ride a shuttle ($5 per person) from the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor center at Drakes Beach. Shuttles run from 9:30AM to 3PM. For more information, see the website of the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Not far from the lighthouse is another Point Reyes institution, the Drakes Bay Oyster Company. There's no better post-whale watching treat than a picnic at this ramshackle, truly authentic oyster farm along the shoreline of the exceptionally clean, nutrient-rich Drakes Bay.
Operated by a third-generation ranching family in Point Reyes, the oyster farm produces award-winning oysters for the public, wholesale markets and restaurants. You can buy them in a variety of sizes, from extra small to large, in the shell or shucked and packed in glass bottles. For more information, see their website, www.drakesbayoyster.com.

According to strategic planners and business writers, a mission statement should immediately be self explanatory and easy for everyone to understand. At the same time, the English language is not quite so simple. Words mean different things to people based on their own experiences. Take the word "success" – when you ask a six-year-old the meaning of success, it may be described in terms of play, school, sports, and getting along with their sibling. Ask a business owner the same question, and the answer may be stated in the bottom line; survival in any economy, perhaps high-priced items or the high cost of dreams. For someone in the entertainment industry, success may come in the form of an Oscar or an Emmy.
For individuals with developmental, physical, emotional disabilities and/or mental illness, personal success takes on a myriad of other descriptions. For some, that may be nothing more than coming to Sertoma Centre each day and being able to complete one piece of work in the workshop. For others, it may be learning how to obtain and keep a job in the community – including writing a resume and interviewing well enough to convince an employer that they are capable. For those with mental illness, it is staying healthy enough to avoid a return trip to the hospital or staying on necessary medications.
One might even guess that, here at Sertoma Centre, people work much harder to achieve their own successes and could quite possibly be even more proud of their accomplishments than words can describe.
At Sertoma Centre, our mission is to provide opportunities that empower individuals with disabilities to achieve personal success.

There were a few characters missing from "The Walking Dead" season finale and one of them was Beth, played by Emily Kinney, who was kidnapped on a previous episode while she and Daryl (Norman Reedus) were fighting off zombies. Some viewers expected to see her or at least find out a little bit about what happened to her, but the only mention of her name was when Daryl told Rick that she was "just gone." So the question is will fans ever see her again? On April 1, WetPaint posted what Robert Kirkman had to say about if Beth would appear on "The Walking Dead" season 5.
Warning: If you do not want to know possible spoilers or speculation for "TWD" season 5, then stop reading.
There have been theories that Beth was being cooked on the barbecue and some viewers observed that Mary, the greeter at Terminus, was wearing a sweater that looked just like Beth's. However, others are saying that it was not Beth's sweater. Also, some people thought that the season finale flashback of Rick putting his hat on Beth and saying she was the new sheriff may have been a clue. Those that believe the latter believe that the sheriff hat and statement was a hint that she would have a bigger, stronger, more fearless role in "The Walking Dead" season 5 and a few fans are even speculating that she may be the one to save Rick and the others trapped in Terminus. While no theories can be confirmed right now, creator Robert Kirkman did say,
"The Beth BBQ question is a big one. I've seen that a lot on Twitter. When a theory is as prevalent as that one is, it's more than likely not true. If there ever was a storyline where we were going a different way and the audience seemed to be ahead of us to that point, it would be extremely unfortunate and I would certainly not feel too good about how well we're doing our jobs. Thankfully this doesn't seem to be the case."
Kirkman also responded to what happened to Beth in an interview with TheWalkingDead.com,
"I don't know! She got taken, she's not back yet."
The word "yet" may mean that viewers will see her again. Robert added,
"I can say that Terminus has a lot of signs out there and it's certainly possible that all kinds of different people out there could make their way to Terminus in some way, so maybe Beth shows up to Terminus in Season 5…maybe not. I think I can say that Beth's story is not over. We'll see her again, maybe in Season 5, maybe not."
What do you think about the Beth storyline? Do you think actress Emily Kinney will return in "The Walking Dead" season 5 and if so, who took her and what will her storyline be?

We're at the official halfway point of the NFL season and already 11 teams have had to change quarterbacks because of injuries or ineffectiveness.
Rarely does a quarterback change produce success, especially in the NFL, where stability at the position might be the most important factor in a club's long-term success. No other position in sports is more directly meaningful to a team's bottom line.
Just look at the first half of this NFL season. So far, teams are 5-17 in games in which their backup quarterbacks have started. And two of those wins were recorded by Brian Hoyer in Cleveland after Browns coach Rob Chudzinski benched original starter Brandon Weeden. The 3-4 Browns will start Jason Campbell, their third starter, this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 1-5 Vikings have already gone through Christian Ponder, Matt Cassell and Josh Freeman. Predictably, the winless Buccaneers and Jaguars have unstable quarterback situations.
None of this bodes well for Chicago and St. Louis, both of which will start backups this week in the wake of injuries to Jay Cutler and Sam Bradford.
Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone can sympathize. He thought he'd solved the club's longstanding issues at the position when he selected Florida State's E.J. Manuel in the first round of the NFL draft in April. Then Manuel hurt his knee in Week 5 and Marrone has been forced to start inexperienced Thad Lewis the past two weeks and sign former LSU standout Matt Flynn as insurance.
"It's important, especially to change at that position," Marrone said. "It's more important than any other one to have someone that can go out there day in and day out, practice every day and work together and stay is very important to that position. ...
"The league is driven by that position. There's a lot of good players, but you have to be right about that one, there's no doubt about it."
After years of quarterback shuffling, the Saints have enjoyed unprecedented stability at the game's most important position thanks to Drew Brees' remarkable durability.
Brees has started 117 of 118 games since he joined the Saints in 2006. The only game he missed was the meaningless 2009 season finale against Carolina when the Saints rested their starters. He sat out the San Diego Chargers' 2004 season finale for similar reasons or he'd be riding an amazing 153-game starting streak (also factoring in final three games in 2003), which would be the longest in the NFL.
The last time Brees missed a start because of injury or otherwise was Dec. 7, 2003, when he was benched for a five-game stretch by Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer in favor of Doug Flutie.
The streak is a source of immense pride for Brees, and rightfully so. He understands his importance to his team's success. He's played through injuries that would have sidelined other quarterbacks, most notably a sprained knee in 2010.
"Some of that's luck," Brees said this week. "Some of that's just certain elements of being healthy that are out of your control, as far as what happens game day in the pocket.
"You always want to be available. That's one of the parts of being a great player in this league and playing the quarterback position, you always want to find a way to make yourself available."
Brees' perseverance is one of his most underrated assets and just one more reason why he'll be a Hall of Famer one day.
As you look at the quarterback merry-go-rounds across the NFL, it makes you further appreciate Sean Payton's intuition. His decision to target and sign Brees in the early days of his Saints coaching tenure will go down in history as the most important one of his career. Payton has made countless other smart calls over the years but none as transcendent as identifying, recruiting and signing Brees to be his quarterback. It paved the way for everything else in New Orleans.
"I really couldn't say enough about (Brees), to really get to know him, watch him work, just everything about him," said Marrone, who was the offensive line coach and offensive coordinator on Payton's Saints staff in 2006 when Brees was signed. "He's one of the most competitive people I've ever met."
Payton often compares the quarterback to an airline pilot because of the responsibility inherent to the position. "They can fly you safely to your destination," Payton likes to say. "Or they can take you right into a mountain."
The Saints have been flying high for most of Brees' spectacular seven-year tenure in New Orleans. Of all of his splendid abilities, Brees' durability might be the most impressive. No one should take it for granted.

New Year's Eve Wedding
Bohemian Weddings
Every once in a while we hear a love story that appears to be straight out of a movie screenplay — Christina and Brandon's story is definitely that, and it's guaranteed to start your weekend off on a sweet note! The newlyweds planned this gorgeous wedding in a whopping two weeks, recruiting the help of Brooke from Blush Photography to capture the stunning day. You'll want to take a few minutes to soak in this precious story:
From the bride, Christina: So I have a rash romantic love story. We grew up in the same neighborhood. Our families were lifetime friends. His mom tricked him into asking me out and we had the best date of our lives – we laughed the entire time. He lived in Las Vegas, I lived in Salt Lake so, we just texted and talked every chance we got. A few weeks after our first date, I got this crazy idea to drive to Vegas at 11 o'clock at night and surprise him. While I was on the phone, driving (with my headset on) I crashed after hitting black ice, spinning off the road and into a ditch 30 feet below, my car completely totaled. As soon as he found out what had happened, he jumped in his car and drove 7 plus hours through the snow and ice to get to me. We he finally arrived, he told me me how crazy in love he was and that my near death experience made him realize that I couldn't live without me. Without this lucid moment he never would have been able to tell me that he loved me. We both knew we we were meant to be.
Two weeks later he proposed and though we thought initially we would get married in 5 or 6 months, we soon realized that was an absolutely ridiculous idea and instead decided to get married in a few weeks. We were so in love, there wasn't any point in starting the new year without each other.
Everything fell perfectly into place. We really didn't have to do much planning because whenever there was a need, there was someone there to help. Like magic. We called La Caille and asked about New Years Eve. They had had a couple cancel for that date just an hour before we called. I found my dress in a half hour. Brandon found his suit just as quickly and it fit him perfectly- also the very last one in the store! Our photographer was available, the florist and the videographer. All were available on such short notice. I was really blown away by the beauty of it all. We were so blessed.
From our first date to our wedding date was only 50 days. We planned every detail of our beautiful day in 2 weeks. We were and continue to be truly blessed in our love. We are so incredibly happy and so thankful for everyone that helped us on our special day. The florist, the photographer, the videographer and his team, etc were so amazing. All such wonderful people! We all have our "dream wedding" in mind, but mine surpassed everything I ever imagined.

Nothing Shallow Can Change Their Love For Each Other:
Christina is my sister and what is amazing about Christina and Brandon is how kind they are to each other. They are always gentle and considerate to each other. Watching how Brandon treats my sister is an example for me of how I should treat girls…I am convinced that nothing in the future will change his love for her – none of the shallow things in life can keep him from holding her hand at any chance he gets – not gaining weight, not older age, not lack of money, not snoring at night, not smells, not bad hair days, not anything that I can foresee – he seems to love her unconditionally. As a brother – it is one of the more beautiful things in life – to see a boy treat my sister like a queen.
Mandi | Living for Pretty
What a beautiful story! & what a beautiful wedding! So amazing how life works. the photos are really something and that venue is absolutely stunning.
Wow what an amazing venue, so inspired for my upcoming "Vintage" themed wedding this is truly gorgeous! Congrats to the lovely couple!
Can we find out where the tie is from?
Do you know where the tie was purchased?
Hi Sarah & Christan. Brandon's tie is Ben Sherman. He found it at a Marshalss in 2012. Good luck!
Can you please email me where to find this shirt/tie combo? Thanks!
