Are you a fan of homemade holiday decorations? If so, this Coffee Filter Shamrock is right up your alley and uses stuff in you already have in your home.
Truth be told, I don't usually craft unless I can craft with my kids. I have so much fun explaining and describing the craft we are about to tackle. I especially enjoy when they add a few twists into the craft and we get to see where our ideas take us. I tend to leave most crafts open-ended with the expectation that they will tailor it to their own imaginations.
The holidays are always a good time to come up with "keeper crafts". Crafts we can create together, that can be used as a holiday decoration for years to come. I am amazed when my children can recall in such detail the time "we made that!" With St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to add to our sparse bin of "St. Patty's" decorations.
Building off the idea of the Cupcake Liner Sunflowers I decided we should go a little bigger and a little greener with…a Coffee Filter Shamrock…or maybe a bunch of them!
This Coffee Filter Shamrock craft was so much fun to create with my little artisans! They loved dipping and swirling each shamrock into the water filled sink. They dropped the green food dye on each petal with such precision! They were so immersed in this craft, I can't wait to come up with another craft based around our sink.
- White Coffee Filters
- Green Pipe Cleaners
- Green Food Dye
Step 1: Flatten one coffee filter. With your index finger, pointer finger and thumb pinch the middle of the coffee filter to create three leaves.
Step 2: Take one pipe cleaner and snake it around the leaves.
Step 3: Make a whole bunch!
Step 4: Fill your sink with cold water. Have the kids pull chairs or step stools to the sink so they can easily swirl their shamrock in the water. Have them gently squeeze the excess water from their shamrock.
Step 5: Next have them drop 1-2 drops of green food coloring on each leaf. (Having them do this over the sink will prevent them from staining your kitchen!)
Step 6: Allow to dry on a few layers of paper towels.
Step 7: When they were completely dry, I arranged a few in a small vase. Then, I handed a bunch to each of my children. My son took his bunch to feed to his giraffes and zebras. My daughter took her bunch to make into a necklace. 🙂

A magnificent Shire who spent almost a decade helping to tend to London's Royal Parks is settling into his well-earned retirement at a horse sanctuary.Black gelding Jed, 19, who stands a massive 17.3hh, began working for the Royal Parks Agency in 1998 but was semi-retired two years ago after he began to suffer arthritis and his working partner Forte sadly died.Jed was formally retired last month by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in a ceremony held as part of the Wild London Diamond Jubilee event, where the monarch presented him with a retirement rosette in front of mounted members of Riding for the Disabled, and he has now moved to The Horse Trust's sanctuary in Speen, Bucks, where he'll spend the rest of his days.Sandra Croxall, of the Royal Parks team, said: "Jed has been a loyal serving Shire and invaluable to the work undertaken in the Royal Parks, as well as undertaking public engagements, meet and greets and local community events."His time has now come to be retired and live out the rest of his days peacefully and we are delighted he has a wonderful, new home at The Horse Trust where he can do just that!"Previously a draught horse for Bass Brewery in Burton on Trent, during his time with the Royal Parks Agency Jed was mainly employed within Richmond Park, where his duties included cutting the grass on road verges, rolling bracken to preserve grassland and extracting timber and transporting it to the sawmill.After his part-retirement Jed enjoyed travelling to events with the Royal Parks Foundation, meeting fans at events such as the Heavy Horse Parade in Portsmouth and the Barnes Parade on Wimbledon common.Now he's settling in to his new life at the charity's sanctuary and is busy making new friends.Jeanette Allen, chief executive of The Horse Trust, said: "Jed was turned out in the fields last week with rescue mare, Crunchie, and he has followed her around devotedly ever since."It was lovely to see Jed cantering around the fields and he couldn't have looked happier with his new home and his new friend."

Conor Coady believes the players competing in the FIFA U20 World Cup finals will improve due to the experience.
The Liverpool midfielder will skipper England at the tournament in Turkey and is joined in the squad by Anfield teammate Jon Flanagan.
The Three Lions get their campaign up and running with a Group E clash against Iraq on Sunday evening, and Coady is relishing the chance to participate.
He said: "For every player here, not just from England but from every country, it's going to be a learning curve for them.
"You won't do this every day in your life, play against players from around the world.
"I think every player will benefit from this and become a better player.
"We just want to get as far as possible in the tournament and that's what we're looking for."
Coady added: "We're all looking forward to the game.
"We've been here now for a few weeks and it's come at the right time.
"We're used to the heat and things like that so we're ready to go and we're all fired up for it."

Saturday, November 2 was a true "fun day" for nearly 100 youngsters in the Oak Grove Housing community. OSA showed up Saturday afternoon with inflatable jumping platforms, soccer bowling, radar speed gun that gave out how fast the soccer ball you kicked was traveling, croquet soccer, 3v3 soccer, and for most of the day 15 on 15 soccer which was the most fun. Especially when coaches Kurt Luitwieler and Jason Hawkins participated.
The Fun Day was tied to the STAAR Fall Festival at the housing site, but the Fun Day stole the day with free soccer balls, free soccer jerseys, and lots of gifts for participants.
Thanks for hosting our Fun Day and thanks STAAR and OKC Housing and Oak Grove - you made it a special day for us all.

As part of trade talks, the European Union wants to ban the use of several European names, such as Parmesan and feta, on U.S.-made cheese.
The reason? The Union feels that the American-made cheeses are not only pale imitations of the European originals (they say that Parmesan should come only from Parma, Italy and feta should come only from Greece), but also that they cut into European sales (even if they're imitations?).
American dairy producers, food companies and cheese makers are not thrilled, to say the least; they maintain that the $4 billion domestic cheese industry will be hurt ("hard-grated cheese" doesn't have quite the same ring as Parmesan).
So far though, the European Union hasn't come up with any solutions-or other catchy alternative names yet.
And the Union doesn't want to stop with cheese names-they also want to ban the names bologna, Black Forest ham, Greek yogurt, Valencia oranges, prosciutto and other foods!
New Food Labels
The Obama administration is proposing new food labels that would make it easier to know about calories and added sugars, a reflection of the shifting science behind nutrition (for example, an estimated serving size for ice cream would change from a half-cup to a cup, so the calorie listing on the label would double as well).
It's the first overhaul of the labels in two decades; the idea behind the change is that people should understand how many calories are in what they already are eating (The Food and Drug Administration says that, by law, serving sizes must be based on actual consumption, not some ideal).
"Our guiding principle here is very simple; that you as a parent and a consumer should be able to walk into your local grocery store, pick up an item off the shelf and be able to tell whether it's good for your family," said first lady Michelle Obama, who joined the FDA in announcing the proposed changes at the White House (the announcement was made as part of her Let's Move initiative, which combats child obesity). On February 25th, she also announced new Agriculture Department rules that would reduce marketing of less-healthful foods in schools.
But the new rules may be several years away (it is government, after all): The FDA will consider comments on the proposal for 90 days; a final ruling could take another year; and even once it's final, the agency has proposed giving the industry two years to comply (a lot of cost-around $2 billion-for label revision and redesign alone).

Steve Howe: Raga of Our Times
Raga of Our Times
Steve Howe (guitar)
Spectrum (Inside Out Music 234840)
Steve Howe (guitar), Oliver Wakeman (keyboards), Tony Levin (bass), Dylan Howe (drums), Virgil Howe (Moog synthesizer).
Composed by Steve Howe.
Recorded: No Location Given, mid-2005
Rating: 78/100 (learn more)
Steve Howe's "Raga of Our Times" sounds nothing like an actual Indian raga. Inauthentic as it is, the music is not interesting enough, and, shortly after it begins, it does a stylistic 180 and begins to sound like very synthesized pop rock music. At the beginning, though, you will hear Howe's sitar-guitar in all its glory-shining bright amidst stereotypically programmed prog-rock keyboards and a five-note passage that cannot be considered Middle Eastern. In fact, it foreshadows what occurs thereafter, as the tune can only be classified as a fairly basic and rather faceless composition.
While the sound of processed pan pipes seems to dominate the proceedings, faux-sitar returns three-quarters of the way through. There, Howe actually begins to burn an abrasive, minor-keyed solo that is quite nice. Unfortunately, however, it ends after twenty-five seconds and is mixed much lower than the flailing rhythm section.
In a manner similar to the rest of Howe's Spectrum, the content sounds like it could have been recorded by any bar band in any city in the world. None of the players' true talents shine through on this recording, and, in that way, the material is very disappointing.

Streets of Gold
"You're way too young to fall apart..
Side Chapter
POV: Bill
"This is a little weird, I stated, holding the can in front of my face so me and Tom could both see it. "Isn't it? "Yeah, he laughed and took the can full of Monster out of my hand. "It is a little weird... Oh, look, he turned it and pointed to the bottom. "Imported from Amsterdam. There's why it looks so different.
"Oh. I took the can back from him and set it down next to me on the seat, leaning forward to get a little closer to my lovers face. Tom smiled, laughing the slightest. "Aren't you smart, he leaned over the table enough and kissed me on the lips. I smiled as he did so. "I guess I am, I giggled as he pulled back slightly. I raised an eyebrow and kept mind of the people around us in the restaurant. It was roughly just past 08:00, me and Tom were still traveling across Europe. "I'm glad we did this, I looked down at my cup of coffee in my hands, sliding my index finger around the rim. Tom looked at my hands as I did so. "Yeah... he smiled. I smiled back, taking into consideration that I was a runaway now. I didn't know whether it was a bad thing or a good thing... But I loved Tom, I loved being with Tom, and I couldn't stand a second without him. But that's why I hated my family; they never would let me and Tom see each other, because I'm a guy, and, well... So is Tom... But it isn't a bad thing... Is it? No... It cant be. Love is love, it has no gender.
"Hey Tom... I was still staring at my coffee cup. Tom looked up at me. "What is it? he sounded like he was smiling. I hesitated, for as long as I could hold in my question.
"Why did you want to run away with me? I was now looking right at him, right in the eyes. His smile was now faded and gone; his face was full of seriousness and confusion. He, too, hesitated for as long as he could. "Because I love you, Bill. he reached across the table with his hands and grabbed both of mine. "I love you. I couldn't possibly stand another harsh day without you. the sun was shining softly through the windows right on us, it felt perfect. "I want to be with you, for as long as time allows us to be, as long as God lets us be together. You know... Those nights, where I just knew, I knew something was wrong with you, but I couldn't be near you... All I wanted was to hold you in my arms and say that everything will be fine, my Angel. Don't worry about anything, because I'm here for you; forever and always.
I couldn't help but cry. I was smiling, though, it wasn't sorrow. Joy. Pure joy. Love and happiness and joy and... Oh... Everything good. Everything that is possibly good is what I felt.
"You have no idea about how much you mean to me, Tom... I went across to sit next to him, I hugged him as tightly as I possibly could. "You will never know how much I truly love you... Nothing can possibly express it. I had my eyes tightly closed as I felt Tom embrace the hug back, doing exactly as he said he wanted to, holding me in his arms. 'Everything will be fine, my Angel...' "I do know that you love me, a lot, and that's all I ever truly need to know about it... Is that you love me. I love you. Nothing, not one single thing, can ever come between us. I'm not going to leave your side, even if it means I have to risk dying to stay with you, I'll never leave you. Never. he squeezed me tighter. "I promise you that, Bill. I promise.
I bet you weren't planning on actually doing that...
What seemed to be a perfect love story, was the complete opposite. Everything wasn't going to be the "Happily ever after that Tom had promised me, back a few Summers ago. The Summer of 2009...
Now known to be the most painful time of my life.
Now, the story of this all starts, way back in June of 2009, the beginning of the whole "Love story runaway prologue that me and Tom had started. Oh, it was a good one. A real good one. Well, here it goes. Here's the story of "Tom and Bill: The dumb asses who decided to leave Leipzig and end up ruining their lives.
Or, life, as I should say.
But let me skip to the good part.
In, oh, Mid-July, we were already out of Leipzig by then. We were in Munich, south Germany, now. Me and Tom were just simply, minding our own business, walking across the street when the police officer in the intersection told us to. But the fucking ignorant bastards in their cars... One of them, a bus, if I may, wasn't paying any attention. Sadly. Horribly. Oh... It was unbearable even hearing it. They... They hit Tom. He was walking behind me, less than a meter behind me. Oh my God it was horrid... Tom... My Tom... Dead. In the middle of the street. I wanted to die. I really wanted to die with him... Why couldn't they take my life, too? No... They just had to take only his.
Love, true, honest to God love, see what happens? Horrible things happen when you fall in love... Bad things, nobody should have to go through anything like I had to.
But that was over 2 years ago. You'd think I'd be over any of it, right? Wrong. Completely wrong.
The fucking driver never got charged with anything. Nothing! Not a single goddamned thing. So, someone who killed a boy, my love, my Tom, is just out there in Germany somewhere. But, am I in Germany? Hell no. I'm in some stupid asylum for insane people in Los Angeles, California. Holy fucking whee. The United States. More like The United Idiots. Fucking telling me I'm insane and locking me up in this Godforsaken Hellhole for morons. I'm the opposite of insane! Ever heard of severe depression? Hello? It's right in your faces!
Fucking idiots. Stupid America. I don't even know why I was hauled off to this stupid place founded by a bunch of drunk fucking British assholes. I hate this Country.
I hate my life.
But, most of you are probably thinking "OMG HOW CAN YOU NOT COMMIT SUICIDE AFTER THAT?
It's easy. Seclude yourself away in your room for years and then go into society and be dubbed as an insane brainwash and thrown to America to be given to the professionals of idiosyncrasy. Whatever that means. Stupid Americans. Stupid society. Stupid everything.
Hell, I need Tom. Hell, I need to be dead.
But no. Not until He takes me off of this fucking Planet of the Apes. God, they are so dumb. I seem to be the only one with any knowledge about anything, anywhere! I bet I'm smarter then the entire American government. I've thought up of ideas for trying to fix their debt in billions. Just ask Russia to help out; they have enough money to fix America's debt with every Country in the world, and then have some left over still. Billions and trillions left over, actually. It isn't that hard, once you get to thinking.
But really, America is full of retards. I hate it. So much.
Isn't my rant time amazing? Don't you just love it? Yes. Yes you do. Everyone loves a good rant, and now you've heard mine. There you go! Tell everyone I've done a smashing job on fucking over everything special in my life! Good job, me, oh you saved everything.
But no. I'm done. With life and everything.
Let me be free; no breathing required. Tie the noose and hang me, hang me. Slip me up and kill me.

World Cafe: Sense Of Place
Caitlin Rose On World Cafe
Set List
- "Only A Clown"
- "I Was Cruel"
- "Menagerie"
Web Extra
"Pink Champagne"
A young darling of Nashville's music scene, Caitlin Rose just released her second album, The Stand-In. Rose moved to Nashville when she was 7, but resisted country music at first because her parents worked in the industry. Indie-rock was more her thing; she first discovered Merle Haggard via a Mountain Goats record.
It was through a contact in England that Rose got to make her first album, Own Side Now. For World Cafe's Sense of Place: Nashville series, we talk with Rose about how the city has changed — and, of course, we hear a live set with her band. And don't forget to listen to our web extra, a track called "Pink Champagne."

text: Pulmonary Atresia What is pulmonary atresia? Pulmonary atresia (PA) is a heart defect. It happens when the fetal heart doesn't form as it should. This can happen during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. PA is a problem with the opening of the pulmonary valve. This valve connects the right ventricle and the main pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs. With pulmonary atresia, blood can't flow to the lungs. Since blood can't flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, it takes other routes. The normal opening between the right and left upper chambers (atria) of the fetal heart (foramen ovale) usually closes soon after birth. In a newborn with PA, it stays open to let blood flow to the lungs for oxygen. A newborn may also rely on a temporary connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery (ductus arteriosus). The ductus arteriosus is also part of normal fetal blood flow. But it also closes soon after birth. While it is open, some of the oxygen-poor (blue) blood flows to the lungs for oxygen. When PA is present, and the ductus arteriosus closes, less blood reaches the lungs to get oxygen. Because the blood doesn't get enough oxygen, every cell in the newborn's body gets less oxygen. A newborn with pulmonary atresia can't live long without treatment. What causes pulmonary atresia?Some congenital heart defects may happen more often in certain families (genetic). Most of the time, there is no known cause. What are the symptoms of pulmonary atresia? Symptoms may happen shortly after birth or later as the ductus arteriosus closes. The most obvious symptom is a bluish color of the skin (cyanosis) in a newborn. These are other common symptoms: Fast or troubled breathing Poor feeding Weakness and sleepiness Pale, cool, or clammy skin The symptoms of PA may look like other health conditions or heart problems. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis. How is pulmonary atresia diagnosed? PA may be found during a routine ultrasound during pregnancy. At birth, the healthcare providers and nurses will examine your baby. They will listen to your baby's heart and lungs with a stethoscope and note any signs of a heart defect. Testing for heart defects varies by the child's age, condition, and other things. Some tests that may be done include: Pulse oximetry. This is a test to check oxygen levels in the blood. PA causes low oxygen levels. Chest X-ray. A chest X-ray shows pictures of the heart and lungs. It may show structural problems that occur with PA. Electrocardiogram (ECG). This test records the electrical activity of the heart. It shows abnormal rhythms and heart muscle stress. Echocardiogram (echo). Echo uses sound waves to record a moving picture of the heart and heart valves. This test is the best one to diagnose PA. Cardiac catheterization (heart cath). The baby gets medicine to sedate him or her. Then a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is put into a blood vessel in the groin and guided to the heart. A heart cath gives very detailed information about the heart. This includes blood pressure and oxygen measurements in the chambers of the heart, as well as the pulmonary artery and aorta. Contrast dye is also injected to better see the structures in the heart. How is pulmonary atresia treated? Your baby will be treated by a pediatric cardiologist. This is a doctor with special training to treat heart problems in children. Or your baby may be treated by a neonatologist. This is a doctor with special training to treat problems in newborns. Your baby will most likely be in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or special care nursery. At first, your baby may be put on oxygen, and possibly even on a ventilator, to help with breathing. Your child may get IV medicines to help his or her heart and lungs work better. The following treatments allow time for the oxygen levels in your baby's heart to even out while other repairs are planned: An IV medicine called prostaglandin E1 is often given to keep the ductus arteriosus from closing. This lets blood get to the lungs for oxygen. A cardiac cath may be done to diagnose the defect. Surgical repair Your child will need surgery to improve blood flow to the lungs. Usually, the surgeon does a series of operations to reroute the blood flow. The first surgery may be done shortly after birth. The final surgery is done when the child is a few years old. What are the complications of pulmonary atresia? Without surgery, the heart can't pump oxygenated blood to the body and can't support life. But surgery is usually very successful and has high survival rates. As your child grows, he or she may need to limit physical activity. Your child may also have developmental delays. He or she may need therapy and special help. Living with pulmonary atresia After the surgical repair and time for recovery in the hospital, your baby will be able to go home. Your doctor may recommend pain medicines such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to keep your baby comfortable. Your child's heart care team will talk about pain control before your child goes home. The nursing staff will show you how to give any special treatments at home, if needed. Or you may need a home health agency to help. Your child will likely need special formula and supplemental feedings to get enough nutrition. You may get other instructions from your child's pediatric cardiologist and the hospital staff. The outlook varies from child to child. Be sure to get regular follow-up care at a center offering pediatric congenital heart care. Your child likely will need more surgery. After each surgery, your pediatric cardiologist will follow your baby's recovery. He or she will make changes to medicines, help you with feeding problems, measure oxygen levels, and determine when and if it is time for the next surgery. Your child may need to be on long-term antibiotics, or take antibiotics before dental or other procedures. Your healthcare provider can tell you if this is needed. It is important that your child get all recommended vaccines. Talk with your healthcare provider about this. Throughout your baby's life, pregnancy and non-heart surgeries may be very risky. They require careful evaluation and discussion with a cardiologist. Your child will need regular follow-up care at a center offering pediatric or adult congenital heart care for the rest of his or her life. When should I call my child's healthcare provider?Call your child's healthcare provider if your child has breathing or feeding problems, or has new symptoms. Key points about pulmonary atresia Pulmonary atresia is an abnormal development of the pulmonary valve. Without repair, the heart can't pump oxygenated blood to the body and can't support life. Your child will get special care in the hospital until surgery can be done. Your child will continue to need special care after the surgery and once he or she is home. This includes special formula and supplemental feedings. Your child will need lifetime follow-up care with a pediatric cardiologist and adult cardiologist familiar with congenital heart defects. Your child will likely need more surgery. Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's health care provider: Before your visit, write down questions you want answered. At the visit, write down the names of new medicines, treatments, or tests, and any new instructions your provider gives you for your child. If your child has a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit. Know how you can contact your child's provider after office hours. This is important if your child becomes ill and you have questions or need advice. Medical Reviewers: Freeborn, Donna, PhD, CNM, FNP Holloway, Beth, RN, M.Ed.

Yoga, Acupuncture, PT, and Visualization: Alternative Treatments for RA Pain
Published Jan 21, 2014
Although rheumatoid arthritis medications are the most steadfast way to ease the pain that is caused by RA, there are plenty of alternative treatments for RA which may offer pain relief. Alternative treatments for RA range greatly, but all are worth trying for those who are living with pain caused by RA.
Exercise for RA Pain Relief
We have all experienced the temptation to skip exercising when we're in pain. But regular workouts can boost the production of feel-good endorphins, prevent muscles from weakening, and help with shedding the extra pounds which, unshed, can worsen RA pain. These include:
- Yoga and Tai-Chi – The practices of yoga and tai-chi help those living with RA to stretch out their muscles while simultaneously giving them the opportunity to put their minds at ease. In fact, according to this study published by the MayoClinic, yoga is particularly beneficial not just for patients, but for their caregivers as well.
- Meditation and Visualization – Putting your mind and body at peace is one of the best ways to cope with pain cause by illness. Meditation and visualization are common ways of achieving this peace.
- Strength Training – Because RA causes you to use your muscles and joints in ways that can put stress on your body, mild strength training can help ensure you retain muscles and increase your range of motion.
- Physical Therapy – Professional physical therapists can help to reduce the number of flare-ups, and teach you ways to cope with pain in particular joints.
Nix RA Pain With Natural Remedies
An easy way to explore alternative treatments for RA symptoms is to look into natural remedies. For example, omega-3 fatty acids can help fight inflammation and relieve joint pain. Other natural options include aloe, which is known to reduce inflammation, and mustard seed and olive oil, which may help reduce arthritis symptoms.
Relieve RA Pain With Acupuncture and Massage
Acupuncture aims to stimulate the major pathways in the body through the use of needles. Although acupuncture isn't as common as some of the other alternative treatments for RA, some doctors believe that it can help relieve pain cause by RA by triggering the release of endorphins in the body.
Likewise, some people living with RA find that massage therapy helps reduce RA pain. Massage therapy can help reduce muscle stiffness, help improve range of motion and may even boost your mood.
Creating a Personalized RA Plan
You may want a care manager to develop a holistic care plan to help your loved one manage their RA pain with integrative approaches. You can find a care manager by going to caremanager.org or through a national organization such as SeniorBridge.
Eileen Zenker, LCSW has nearly three decades of experience as a social work administrator and health care planner. She oversees care management in our SeniorBridge retail office in New York, as well as teaching Ethics and serving as a Mentor to Social Work fellows at New York University.

I have been using Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot (11.10) with gnome-shell (Gnome 3) for a little while and I'm trying to get accustomed to it.
Another question asked if the dynamic workspace creation in Gnome 3 can be disabled, which seems not to be perfectly possible currently.
What I would prefer instead is to set a fixed amount of workspaces which should be created on login and should stay alive even if no windows are in them, while still giving me the option to create more workspaces dynamically. Is such a thing currently possible in Gnome 3?
One dirty hack could be to force some micro-sized window to be created in each of the workspaces on startup. Using devilspie this may be possible, although I don't know if this still works for Gnome 3. The best case would be creating persistent invisible windows somehow. Does anyone know a way?

The THERMOS Shuttle Chef RPC-6000 thermal cooker with two 3L inner pots is a healthy, economical and convenient way to cook. Assemble all the ingredients in the inner pots, put it on the stove and bring to a boil. Then remove the inner pots from the stove and place it inside the outer vacuum insulated steel thermal container that will keep the contents of the stainless steel cookware hot. There is no need to plug in any power cord. The food will continue its thermal cooking process using the retained heat in the food and water from your recipe. After the required time (approx. 30 min for rice; 2 hrs for chicken stock or soups; 3.5 hrs for beef and meats), just open the outer thermo pot, and a nutritional and flavorful meal is hot and ready. The THERMOS stainless steel vacuum insulated Thermal Cooker has excellent heat retention capacity; the food inside the pot can retain a temperature of about 160 degree Fahrenheit even after 6 hours. It's safe to leave unattended because there is no power or pressure needed to cook. The thermal cooking process requires no further supervision or monitoring. Food from your favorite slow cooker recipes can be cooked while you are traveling. You can cook with the thermal cookware anywhere, anytime and it's safe to use indoors or out. It saves money because after the food as been placed inside the outer thermal pot there is no extra energy needed to maintain the heat or cold for the next 6 to 12 hours. Entraps flavor, minerals and vitamins; generates less odor, grease and smoke in the kitchen. Never over cooks and cleans up easily. This is great stuff to get prepared with. Note: THERMOS thermal cookers are imported with box & literature written for the Asian market. Only parts of the recipe materials are written in English. Shipping to Alaska & Hawaii requires additional postage. Please contact seller for quote and shipping arrangements to avoid orders being canceled.

Shuttle Chef
Aug 26, 2013
By jeff426
We are RVing around the western USA for the last 2 years and have just converted our 5th wheel to Solar Power. We bought the shuttle chef 4 months ago and just had the first occasion to use it. We cooked the soup as directed, brought it to a boil, then a simmer, took the spare pot filled with boiling water, placed it in first, then soap in next. 11 hours later the concoction was still hot, the boiling water was still hot enough for tea if we had chosen to have tea. The device functioned better than we had expected and we highly recommend this. All that and no power consumed after the initial cooking!

Greetings, Sultry is the only way to describe the weather at New Quarter Park Saturday, so we really appreciate the effort and enthusiasm you brought to our regular 4th Saturday Bird Walk.
Many thanks to Jim Corliss for leading the way and teaching us more about bird songs! Jim Corliss entered the day's birds into eBird and the list is below.
We found 31 species on our trek. The bird of the day (perhaps the month??) was the sighting of not one, but two, Yellow-billed Cuckoos on the main trail down to the fire circle. Most people got good looks through a scope at the pair as they made their way back and forth across the path. Oooohs and aahhhhhs all around!! Rock spotted those for us!

SteamOS to have NVIDIA developer tools from day one
This week the folks at NVIDIA have suggested that their developer program GameWorks will not be limited to the likes of Linux and Android - not by any stretch of the imagination. NVIDIA made clear that not only would they be extending GameWorks support - developer tools for games, that is - for Ubuntu environments, but for SteamOS as well. In other words - those gaming developers hoping to optimize their games for Steam Machines with NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics cards will be able to do so.

Child abuse leads to young people with severe deficits in emotional, physical and cognitive functioning. The Therapeutic Interagency Preschool Program, a special education mental health and Head Start program, works with young victims of severe abuse to stabilize/improve their safety, social and emotional development, school readiness and family stability. This interdisciplinary treatment service is able to understand the unique mental health and developmental needs of this high-risk population of children and their families, and enables parents, guardians, case workers, child advocates, therapists, early childhood educators and child care providers to better provide for the appropriate developmental and therapeutic services necessary for these vulnerable individuals. This results in improvement of the child's chances of fulfilling his or her personal developmental potential by reducing the impact of trauma and increasing family stability. This program has demonstrated best-practice evidence and shows significant reduction of cognitive and developmental difficulties. The preschool program, led by Jane Sites, EdD, LSW, has demonstrated outcome data that includes reduction in the number of children in foster care, significant improvements in speech, language development, social skills and self-control and reduced problematic behaviors.
The demand for child and adolescent mental health services continues to increase. Over half of children in our nation who suffer with psychiatric conditions do not receive adequate care. Primary care physicians, and especially pediatricians, are increasingly providing psychiatric evaluations and treatment. To enhance these services, division director Michael Sorter, MD, and his team have worked with other Ohio children's hospitals and the Ohio Department of Mental Health to develop the Pediatric Psychiatry Network. This is a real-time phone consultation service available to all primary care physicians in the state. Primary care physicians are able to reach a child and adolescent psychiatrist within minutes to discuss assessment techniques and treatment options. Consultations have been provided in the majority of Ohio counties, with requests growing continuously. This program has placed Ohio in a national leadership role of psychiatric consultation to primary care.
Intellectual disabilities, such as mental retardation, are frequently associated with mental health difficulties and often complicate attempts to recover from acute psychiatric illness. To address these difficulties, the Division of Child Psychiatry has developed a specialized psychiatric inpatient service that addresses the complicated needs of these dual diagnosis patients. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA) is a best-evidence based approach for treatment of disruptive and self-injurious behavior for patients with developmental disorders. Through integration of ABA with advanced psychiatric care, these patients are able to have enhanced outcomes, rapid stabilization and integration into community care. This 10-bed unit is unique in the region and has served more than 300 children in the past year. Clinical efforts are led by Hilton Rodriguez, MD, Division of Psychiatry, and Michael Lind, PhD, Division of Developmental Disabilities and Behavioral Pediatrics. The leaders of this multidisciplinary team have enhanced our care of this challenging population and filled a large gap in the care of these children and families.

A Saturday afternoon fire near Hartly caused an estimated $750,000 damage to a home and garage which contained a collection of cars.
There were no reported injuries, according to Assistant State Fire Marshal Michael G. Chionchio.
The blaze, reported shortly before 2 p.m., occurred in the 3100 block of Halltown Road (Route 8), south of Hartly and northeast of Marydel.
A fire alarm signaling system detected the fire and alerted the Kent County Emergency 911 Center.
When firefighters from Hartly Fire Company arrived, smoke was pouring from the two-story dwelling, Chionchio said.
The structure had a collection of antique vehicles on the first floor and the living residence on the second floor.
Investigators from the State Fire Marshal's Office are still investigating to determine how the fire started.

The combination of living at altitude and training near sea level [live high-train low (LHTL)] may improve performance of endurance athletes. However, to date, no study can rule out a potential placebo effect as at least part of the explanation, especially for performance measures. With the use of a placebo-controlled, double-blinded design, we tested the hypothesis that LHTL-related improvements in endurance performance are mediated through physiological mechanisms and not through a placebo effect. Sixteen endurance cyclists trained for 8 wk at low altitude (<1,200 m). After a 2-wk lead-in period, athletes spent 16 h/day for the following 4 wk in rooms flushed with either normal air (placebo group, n = 6) or normobaric hypoxia, corresponding to an altitude of 3,000 m (LHTL group, n = 10). Physiological investigations were performed twice during the lead-in period, after 3 and 4 wk during the LHTL intervention, and again, 1 and 2 wk after the LHTL intervention. Questionnaires revealed that subjects were unaware of group classification. Weekly training effort was similar between groups. Hb mass, maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2)) in normoxia, and at a simulated altitude of 2,500 m and mean power output in a simulated, 26.15-km time trial remained unchanged in both groups throughout the study. Exercise economy (i.e., VO(2) measured at 200 W) did not change during the LHTL intervention and was never significantly different between groups. In conclusion, 4 wk of LHTL, using 16 h/day of normobaric hypoxia, did not improve endurance performance or any of the measured, associated physiological variables.

Writing This Day Off the Books
Saturday, December 08, 2012
The blog post that follows is really sad.
Today was yucky. It started off well enough. Saw one of my favorite customers and then headed out to pick up my friend to go to the funeral of one of my favorite church ladies who always sits right behind us in church. When I got there to pick up my friend, she had the days mixed up and couldn't go. So, I headed out to the funeral home by myself.
Here's where it gets bad.................. I got there an hour early and NO ONE was there except the funeral director who could not have cared less that I was there. And then I see it. The open casket in the viewing room. I was really scared. So I went to the bathroom. When I came out, I gave myself a pep talk and reminded myself how nice it was to say goodbye to my Grandma. So I walked into the room and approached the casket. I was about a foot from her. I was frozen. I was horrified and for some reason, I could not tear my eyes away from her. I was searching desperately for something, anything that looked like her. I finally locked eyes on her wedding ring and was able to rip myself from the trance. I backed away and then had to fight to keep myself from running screaming from the place.
I got out to the car and just sat there. I turned the key and the next thing I remember was walking into my friend's workplace and knocking on the door. She was at the desk and she layed eyes on me and was on her feet immediately. She threw her arms around me and I broke down. All I kept saying was, " It wasn't her. It wasn't her."
She got me calmed down and got me where I could speak without hitching. (sometimes it really helps to have a best friend who is 17 years older)
I can't explain what happened. My grandma looked like she was sleeping. Berniece looked dead. Plain and simple. I am traumatized. I have prayed for God to remove the image from my mind and, thankfully with praise to God, I am unable to recall anything except her wedding ring. That and the lingering emotions tied up with the whole experience.
Whose idea was it for people to look at dead bodies????? I don't understand and I will NEVER NEVER do it again. I get the whole bit about saying goodbye but no more for me. I would rather remember her when she was alive and smiling at me from her seat in the sanctuary. Her warm hugs and the smell of her soft perfume. How we prayed for each other after the sermons a lot of the time. I will stand on the truth that she is alive and well with Jesus.
I am a forty year old woman who was reduced to a child today. Can someone please help me find the life lesson in this mess?????

Perhaps you could remember some of your friend's favorite music, Bible verses, etc. and memorize them, play them, write them down to put them into your own mind and spirit as a way to honor her and remember her as your friend.
I also vote for the wake, or at least the memorial service route, as opposed to the funeral, as a way to pay respect and support the living. These affairs really are for the living anyhow, not the dead.
Maybe go on a good run and watch a good movie to refresh the images in your mind?
Blessings on this Sunday.

I really wish I could say something comforting, but I have been traumatized in a different way. I grew up around almost entirely old(ish) people, in their 40's, 50's, 60's, etc, because my parents had me late in life. I have been to too many funerals to count, and I don't cry at them anymore. I wish I could/would. My mom has specified that she wants to be cremated when she dies, and have all the guests come to a wake. A rousing, cheerful event where we remember the good things. I wish more people would do that. Death is a part of life. Nothing to fear, nothing to regret, nothing to mourn for the rest of the living's lives. I hope you can come to terms with it sooner rather than later.

I'm so sorry the visit to the funeral home was so bad. Sometimes, what the person went through in death, makes them look so much worse than anyone can fix. My adopted daughter's brother died and that happened to him. She only recognized him because they put a piece of jewelry on him that she'd given him the day before he died. She really only recognized the piece of jewelry.
You paid your respects. You did what you set out to do. Now, take care of you. And honestly, it's OK not to go to the funeral home. If there is family that you want to support, you can go by the house. You don't have to go where the body is. Keep the memories of the person when they were alive. That's the sweetest part of being a friend.
Take good care of you. You need that now. You deserve that. You'll be OK. You can come through this. You really can.

I hope you were able to sleep a little last night. Wish I could be with you right now. I've got big hugs and a teddy bear for you.
Sometimes death has a way of turning us into children that have a hard time with our own emotions, glad you had a friend to talk to. Everyone will say- hang in there, it will get better. This is true, just let your friends help you out. If you need anything let me know, I'll try and help you out.

The subscription ran out on my MagicJack the other day. I knew it was going to happen; Katie needed money for her field trips so I used the budgeted amount on her instead.
That is the beauty of applying minimalism to money; you take care of the important stuff and don't worry about the rest.
how to apply minimalism to finances
One of the main ways to become minimalist in your finances is by reducing your recurring expenses to cover your basics and little more. Essentially, you eliminate all of the nonessential bills that you may have.
After you accomplish that you can pare them down more by focusing on the individual items. For instance, examine your car insurance bill to see if you can't get your provider to lower the rate or find another provider at a better price. You can do this with phone service, cable service and other similar items.
See if you can reduce things like rent and car payments – or eliminate them entirely. If you make it a game to see how low you can go this becomes an interesting challenge you play with your pocketbook.
I did this when I chose to rent a tiny one bedroom house instead of a larger two-bedroom, saving several hundred dollars a month in rent. I also did this when I chose to pay cash for my old van several years ago – a vehicle that I'm still driving, even though it is around 15 years old.
You can save a lot of money when you think out of the box like that.
what if you don't have enough money?
Occasionally there will come a time when you run out of money before you run out of month. When that happens, rank your bills by priority, take care of the most important ones and let the rest go. For credit cards or other nonsecured debt, divvy up what is left in your budget to send them all a little bit. That will keep them from squalling too loudly.
Sometimes you will have to make a bit of a sacrifice though, like I am doing with my MagicJack. Just be thankful you had as much as you did and move on. If it weren't for the occasional challenge life would be boring indeed.
As for my MagicJack, it still allows me to receive phone calls, though I'm not allowed to dial out. That's okay – I don't make very many phone calls anyway. Until I renew the subscription I can use Google Voice if I need to call someone.

Aren't you proud to be a Democrat?
Let's blame the Republicans!
As a Democrat, let me say how sorry I am to admit that fact.
When it was obvious that the mainstream media was messaging Senator Obama ahead of Hillary Clinton, I changed from Republican to Democrat so I could vote in the Oregon Democratic primary. I didn't want a president that was gong to change our country into what was drilled into his head – material from Saul Alinsky, Frank Marshall Davis, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, and many others like them. It took very little effort to research the truth, but of course hard-core Democrats, new young voters, 95 percent of African Americans, Acorn draftees and Independents who believed the press and its hatred against George W. Bush followed their vitriolic coverage over the cliff. The press is slowly dissolving itself with hyperbole that started after J.F.K.
I was in Pennsylvania during the John Kennedy time frame and no one – not one press release – blamed the conservatives for shooting a Democratic president who put a big effort into the Vietnam War, knew that by cutting taxes our economy would improve, encouraged our space program and was more of a conservative than many of today's Republicans.
It's truly embarrassing to watch today's press making accusations against Sarah Palin and the tea party for the terrible shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and many others. It worked for President Clinton when he blamed the militia for the Oklahoma City bombing, but it will not work anymore and people are finally getting it. This mentally deranged shooter had been stalking Gabby for more than two years – far before a tea party was formed and even before Sarah Palin was introduced to John McCain.
So take heed Democrats, anyone writing an article accusing conservative talk radio and Fox News for the Tucson tragedy will be seen for what you truly are, and everyone now gets what that is.
I read on a Democrat's facebook today: "I wake up every morning disappointed that Sarah Palin is still alive."
Yes, aren't you proud to be a Democrat?

Am I the only person sick of all the media attention being given to wounded and killed American citizens in Tucson, Ariz. by some crazy person?
What about spending this money on presidential visits, flowers, television time and folksy interviews with family members of our servicemen and servicewomen who have been wounded, killed or maimed for life serving our country.
It is apparent that no such attention from our government or the news channels and talk show channels with their symbolic bleached blond co-anchors have any time or respect for this subject. It would only incite our desire as a nation to stop this senseless sacrifice of our men and women serving this nation.

This goes out to all the despicable people in government and the media who, because of the actions of a deranged killer, attack the First-Ammendment rights of Americans to petition the government.
While you were doing your last minute Christmas shopping, the treasonous 111th Congress passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act of 2010. The media has blacked out all information on this bill so Americans do not realize that the federal tyrants have nationalized all food production here, and claimed the power to tell you what food you are allowed to eat. Soon, thousands of armed Federal agents of the FDA will descend on farms and food co-ops with new regulations that will drive many out of business just like the multinational food companies had hoped for. It may take awhile, but this is the official beginning of the end of food freedom in America.
Yet another local Einstein has disparaged the John Birch Society (JBS) by regurgitating the lies about their video. He belittled the JBS for a story about fluoride in the water causing a loss of IQ in kids. Gee, now why would anybody be concerned about a little toxic waste in their wawa? I saw a report out of China that confirmed the suspicions. You know about China don't you, Mr. Einstein? That is the country that always out scores the U.S. kids in knowledge tests. I hope your children appreciate the federal dictatorial "democracy" you are creating for them.

If you are interested in having Dish Network TV, do not sign up with an "authorized retailer" for Dish, unless you want your bank account to be $49.99 lighter, like mine was recently.
There are mass mailings in Brookings from someone, advertising big savings when signing up for Dish Network. One of the flyers has the name and logo of Dish Network in the upper left corner, with no indication that you will actually be dealing with the company "Digital TV.com" if you call 1-888-981-DISH.
At no time during my phone call did the agent tell me he did not actually work for Dish; nor did he inform me of the name of the company which actually employs him. Furthermore, some of the information he gave me was incorrect, as I discovered when the Dish technician arrived to do my installation. In fact, Dish Network does not charge for initial installation or initial setup, if you call Dish Network directly (1-800-333-DISH).
I'm just hoping to help others avoid being taken advantage of as I was.

How Payday Loans Work.
Payday loans are short-term cash loans based on the borrower's personal check held for future deposit or on electronic access to the borrower's bank account. Borrowers write a personal check for the amount borrowed plus the finance charge and receive cash. In some cases borrowers sign over electronic access to their bank accounts to receive and repay payday loans. Lenders hold the checks until the next payday when loans and the finance charge must be paid in one lump sum.

Payday Loan Definition Investopedia.
Although the federal Truth in Lending Act requires payday lenders to disclose their finance charges these establishments have gotten a bad reputation for their predatory lending practices. Most borrowers using payday loans have bad credit and low incomes. They may not have access to credit cards and are forced to use the service of a payday loan company. Even if the borrower feels the fee may be fair 17.50 per 100 for seven days that translates into a rate of more than 900% on an annualized basis. Most loans are for 30 days or less and can be rolled over for additional finance charges. Loan amounts are usually from 100 to 1500. The charge for the privilege of borrowing money typically expressed.

Payday loans cash advances and short-term loans are different names for the same beast. No matter what a company calls them they are short-term loans with extremely high interest rates. In theory payday loans seem positive. If you do not have enough money to pay pressing bills before your next paycheck you can receive a cash advance that you pay back on your next payday along with fees and interest. Interest rates on average range from 300% up to 800% and you may even see rates over 1000%.

Our butts come in handy in the winter--mostly for things like sitting. So, much like a bear, the first time it sees the sun it's bound to be a little shocked.
You've still got plenty of time to get a saggy rear to be a thing of the past.
1. Workout: Goes without saying. But it's the right moves that will get your butt in gear. Give the Bar Method in Lakeview a try.
2. Get the right suit and arm yourself with a good spray tan. Both can help you look more defined and slim inches off your backside. Yes, it may be awful, but get a friend to help you suit shop--that brutal honesty will come in handy.
3. Take care of the skin on your booty. I like Mama Mio's Bootcamp for Butts. The scrub, serum and lotion are worth every penny.

SwingWorker: shoot just once, please.
Many GUI users don't understand double-clicks. My father, for instance, usually
clicks twice on buttons. That's a consequence, I imagine, of experience with bad user interfaces. Windows and Linux users, for instance, have to double-click on icons on the desktop, but click just once on buttons. Weird. Experienced users, like me, are just used to this weirdness and just "behave" as the GUI programmers expect (;-)). People with an innovative, creative mind, like the recently deceased genius Jef Raskin (see movies), just build new user interfaces.
So it's important to consider novice/inexpert users when building GUIs. When using SwingWorkers (or any other threading framework of your liking) it's important to fire Threads just once, although the user double-clicks on buttons.
Single shots: handling multiple clicks
The first thing to deal with is avoiding the user to press the button multiple times, quickly. Well, that's not a big deal with Swing. After JDK1.4 we have a AbstractButton.setMultiClickThreshhold(long) that may be of help. By setting that to, say, 200L (200 milliseconds) we avoid the JButton to generate ActionEvents less than 0.2 seconds apart. So if the user clicks the JButton three times within 150 milliseconds only one ActionEvent is generated.
Now, if you don't use an AbstractButton or derivative you can easily solve the thing yourself. Using timestamps. For instance, for an Action you may use something like this:
public class MyAction extends Action { ... private long lastTimestamp = 0L; public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent anActionEvent ) { long currentTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis(); // Threshhold of 200 milliseconds if ( (currentTimestamp-lastTimestamp) > 200L ) { lastTimestamp = currentTimestamp; ... proceed } } }
Single shots: disabling input until done
The second thing to deal with is avoiding the user to press the button until our operation is either done or cancelled.
Meanwhile we may block all user input by using a GlassPane that blocks all user input (but a Cancel option, probably) until the operation is done.
Or we may just disable the action that generated the event, by invoking setEnabled(false) on that JButton (or Action).
Note that, in both cases, it's desirable to include a "Cancel" option that actually cancels the operation and allows the user to try again. If the operation fails, or if it generates a runtime exception not handled by the application, the user may continue working instead of being kept locked. This is critical for the solution with GlassPanes, since GlassPanes will block all user input (you should consider using "finally" clauses that remove the GlassPane whether the operation suceeds or not).
It's also a best practice to inform the user that the operation is in progress meanwhile. Otherwise the user may think the application has hung. Doing that with a GlassPane is a piece of cake (the example above uses Java2D to visually show progress), but if we use the second option (disabling just an action) we should include either a status bar or even a progress bar informing of the progress of the operation. Even better we can update the UI with intermediate results (by publish()-ing and process()-ing them with the SwingWorker) so that the user does not get nervous while waiting.
The Mandelbrot example contains these features. All buttons have a MultiClickThreshold() setting. The appropriate buttons and entries are disabled and enabled (see MandelbrotViewController.java#setWorkingState(boolean) ) depending on the working state, and a blocking ProgressPane is shown to the user while the operation is in progress (allowing as well to cancel the operation).
So here it comes my third suggestion for SwingWorkers (that can be applied to other threading frameworks around).
SwingWorker Suggestion III: Handle multi-clicks, show progress, allow cancelEnough for today. Next time I'll talk about automagically timing-out tasks that have been running for a long time.
Be aware of multi-clicks by using timestamps or setting MultiClickThreshold in buttons and then disabling user input where appropriate. While the operations are working visually show progress to the user. Allow the user to cancel the operation if he whishes.
Keep swinging,

"Inside Edition" reported on Jan. 28 that Gabby Douglas will be its special correspondent for NFL Super Bowl XLVIII.
Megan Alexander of "Inside Edition" was seen giving Douglas tips about how to succeed with her reporting.
Douglas' first day started when she and Alexander picked up their credentials at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey where security was tight. Douglas was seen being patted down.
Their next stop was Media Day at MetLife Stadium where America's big game will be played on Sunday, Feb. 2.
One couldn't help from seeing Douglas' excitement as as walked out onto the field for the first time. She was seen with the NFL cheerleaders where she did a flip. Then she was seen interviewing Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. She was thrilled that she was getting her first interview, and even more thrilled that it was with Manning.
On the field Douglas' petite size actually came in handy as she squeezed right in front to get the Manning interview. The two spoke athlete to athlete.
She said to Manning, "I was just wondering, I just know what it takes to compete on the high stage, I just want to know, how are you feeling? Are you nervous? Are you excited?"
Manning said, "It is similar to you, you are part of a team being over here. Obviously, you have your individual position, individual job that you have to do, just like you did at the Olympics, but you are still part of the group. It is nice to know you are going to have people that are going to help you out and support you."
While she was at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, the 18-year-old Olympic gold medal winner was stopped several times by fans who wanted an interview with her or a photo with her.
It is amazing that while Douglas will be working as a special Super Bowl correspondent on Sunday for "Inside Edition," Lifetime will be airing "The Gabby Douglas Story" on the same day.

Last night's Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was a true clash of styles, as the theme for the evening was Punk: Chaos to Couture. There were some looks that were anything but punk, but there were also mohawks (or at least mohawk-inspired updos), dresses made out of netting, and of course, leather. Here are some of the looks we loved most. --Angel
Co-chair Beyonce hit the red carpet in a custom Givenchy Haute Couture number, matching thigh high boots, and a python leather corset.
The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev rocked a design by FIDM Alumna Monique Lhuillier that featured a leather trim, corseted bodice, and on-trend sheer fabric.
Anne Hathaway looked edgy and glamorous in a Valentino gown and platinum locks.
Always a hit on the red carpet, Sarah Jessica Parker donned Giles gown, thigh-high boots, and a "mohawk" by headpiece designer Philip Treacy.
Once Upon a Time's Ginnifer Goodwin paired a severe smokey eye with her Tory Burch gown.
Tinseltown darling Jennifer Lawrence added drama to a tea length dress from Christian Dior with a bold red lip and a sheer black net over her eyes.
Mary-Kate Olsen chose vintage Chanel for the event. We like to call this one chinoiserie-grunge.
Scandal star Kerry Washington was stunning in Vera Wang and dramatic leather opera gloves.
Christina Ricci rocked in Vivienne Westwood, the true godmother of punk.
Rocker Gwen Stefani was on trend in a midriff-baring Maison Martin Margiela gown.
Taylor Swift got on board with the sheer fabric trend in a black J. Mendel design.
From her smokey eye to her studded sleeves to her fringed heels, Elizabeth Banks looked fabulous in Atelier Versace.
Ashley Greene chose a beautiful full-length ball gown by Marchesa.
Beyonce's baby sis Solange Knowles made a bold statement in Kenzo.
Miley Cyrus was all punk in a mesh net gown by Marc Jacobs and spiked platinum hair.
Katie Holmes wasn't at all punk in this design by Calvin Klein, but we really love this look on her.
Nicole Richie rocked in Topshop and even had her hair dyed to match.
Amanda Seyfried looked amazing in a printed Givenchy Haute Couture gown and severely slicked back hair.
We couldn't help but think Uma Thurman was revisiting her Poison Ivy role in this Zac Posen gown.
Stacy Keibler was all edge in an embellished little black dress from Rachel Roy and pointy toed booties.

- Are there installed or portable FM listening systems for individuals who are hard of hearing?
- Are there telephones with TTY or auditory adjustments?
- Are there visual fire alarms (such as a flashing strobe light)?
- Are the customer service areas low enough so people in wheelchairs or scooters can access them?
- Is signage available in large print?
- Will service animals be accommodated (such as water bowls or areas for service dogs to relieve themselves)?
