Bike shorts on sale
By Len
from Albany NY
These name brand shorts were on sale and a great value.
Great product...but not for chunky legs
By RuDy
from Silver Spring Md
I wear lots of LG jerseys that are one size up. Doesn't work for the shorts as the xxl size has humongous padding that feels and looks like a loaded diaper on me. The XL is too tight around my super muscular (and chunky) legs. Looks like LG is not for me even though it's nice stuff.
Very comfortable
By jeepster
from Southern Illinois
I'm not a big fan of spending a lot of money on spandex. These were on sale and had good reviews, so I gave them a try and they fit very well, have nice padding, and seem pretty durable. I'll probably buy another pair in my next order.

About Me Casual/ Recreational
Purchased as a second pair of shorts for a long tour, I chose the XL size based on my 6' height and 180 pounds and the fit is fine. High enough in the back and no bunching. The contoured chamois pad takes some getting used to. They cost about 30% more than the Sugoi shorts I bought last and seem to be worth the difference.
rather large pad
By mike from IL
from Illinois
thicker padding than I like
Very close to what I want
By Lettcco
from santa clarita, CA
I am new to road cycling and I bought this LG per friend's recommendation. Love the material...a grade above pearl izumi and primal wear I tried. The padding is good, but I can't help but wanting something more cushionly...probably because I am not used to riding 30+ miles yet.
Solid chamois on a budget
By DJZ
from MN
I ride 3-4 days a week, mostly MTB, some road. These are good shorts for the money. They are not as nice as my Garneau Neo Power shorts, but they are 1/4 the money. They are a good addition to a rotation of 4 chamois, and will get worn plenty.The pad is comfortable and seems as though it will hold up well.
Great shorts at a great price
By JC
from Pensacola, FL
recreational workout.
Not bad for the price
By JoelA
from New Jersey
I bought these for use on my weekend rides. The fit is good. The support is nice. I would have liked the chamois to be a little further forward, but I was comfortable enough on a 30 plus mile ride.

College Hockey:Blazek and Jamison have three-point efforts as Robert Morris tops Sacred Heart
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The Sacred Heart Pioneers just wouldn't go away. Not once, not twice, but three times the Pioneers answered Robert Morris Colonials goals with one of their own to cut the deficit to one goal. However, the Pioneers couldn't overcome being short-handed at critical times in the final period. In the mix of momentum-interrupting penalties were three game misconduct penalties that took away any Pioneers hope of tying the hard-fought conference battle.
"We battled for 60 minutes tonight, and our effort and execution was there," said Sacred Heart coach CJ Marottolo. "Robert Morris capitalized on a couple of our puck-management mistakes. We need to curb our frustration somewhat (alluding to the game misconducts). But I told the guys I was very proud of their effort and their resiliency."
The Pioneers came out of the gate with intensity befitting a team looking for its first win of the season, keeping the Colonials hemmed in their own end for most of the first four minutes. Then, with Pioneers forward Morgan Bonner in the penalty box for a roughing after the whistle minor, the Colonials struck first when captain Brendan Jamison let a low shot go from the right circle that somehow got through goaltender Steve Legatto at the 5:32 mark of the first.
Colonials forward Greg Gibson then took even more wind out of the Pioneers sails just 25 seconds later when he sent a blast from the left circle to the top corner of the net on the short side to double the Robert Morris lead.
The Pioneers then went straight to work on climbing back into the contest on the strength of three power-play goals, the first at 7:49 of the first period when leading scorer Brian Sheehan threw a shot from a near impossible angle that banked in off of Colonials netminder Eric Levine to cut the lead in half.
Robert Morris forward Zac Lynch then came through with his first career goal at 10:38 when he kept the puck on a two-on-one and placed a perfect shot between Legatto's short side and the post to put the Colonials back in front by two.
In ironic fashion, Lynch was also in the penalty box when Pioneers defenseman Will Rayner put home a rebound from a Kyle Verbeek shot to close out the scoring for the first frame. The Colonials took a 3-2 lead to the dressing room, despite being short-handed four times and outshot, 16-14, by the Pioneers.
The second frame saw the Colonials put some great shifts together at even strength, tilting the ice in the Sacred Heart end while also supplying 21 shots and many prime scoring chances. At 13:20, Colonials senior forward Zach Hervato added to his growing list of highlight-reel goals when he skated down the left wing boards, leaving the Pioneers defense in his wake while beating Legatto with low shot through the five hole. It was Hervato's career best eighth goal of the season, and it put the Colonials back in front by two.
However, Pioneers captain Eric DeLong put his team back into the contest less than three minutes later on Sacred Heart's third power-play goal of the night, slamming a rebound past an out-of-position Levine at 15:05 of the second. Robert Morris defenseman Andrew Blazek then tallied his eighth goal of the season, putting home a perfect pass from leading scorer Adam Brace with a shot from left circle.
Sacred Heard had no more answers in the third period, and though the Pioneers generated scoring chances at times in the final frame, Levine made the crucial saves to keep his team in front for good while forward Scott Jacklin finished the scoring at 19:50 with an empty-net tally.
"We have to be more disciplined; we are taking way too many penalties," said Colonials coach Derek Schooley. "We gave up too many second chances tonight. I loved our even-strength energy tonight; we just need to play more at even strength."
The two teams finish their weekend series at 7:05 Saturday night at the 84 Lumber Arena.

When you walk through Northridge Mall or Valencia Town Center and see the line up of people ready to capture an image with Santa, do you ever wonder how a Bishop from the Mediterranean town of Patara became the jolly old elf we call Santa Claus? At this time of year all things Santa are deeply entrenched in our culture. He's mysterious and magical and colorful. Between gift giving and a constant sense of joy, Santa embodies what many people aspire to be as Christmas approaches. His full story, not just Clement Moore's famous poem "Twas the Night before Christmas", but the whole thing is worth a look.
Did you know the man we call Santa started as a boy named Nicholas? He became a priest, then a bishop. Throughout the world stories are told of miracles he may have done or people he might have saved. The legend grew and grew until many corners of the earth celebrate an element connected to him.
In his book, "The True St. Nicholas: Why he matters to Chrsitmas", Bill Bennett researched the many stories and legends and traced the beginnings of the Santa we know today.
In my family, our main focus is Jesus birth but any attempt to escape Santa brings us back to a famous cola commercial. When my girls ask about him I direct their attention to St. Nicholas and in simplistic terms tell them that he loved God so much that he spend his life sharing about Jesus and giving to others. Learning the many twists and turns cultures took in embracing this well known figure only helps me to communicate better with them.
If you prefer to lay out cookies and sprinkle glitter to keep the image of Santa Claus alive in your family, this book will still give you a deeper connection to why people became attracted to that idea in the first place.

Smart Cut, today the industry standard, is Soitec's proprietary engineered wafer technology. Based on CVD techniques, Smart Cut technology's revolutionary wafer bonding and layer splitting processes made it possible to transfer a thin layer of crystalline material from a donor substrate to another substrate, overcoming physical limitations and changing the face of the substrate industry.
Most of today's industry-leading SOI wafers destined for chip manufacturing are made by wafer suppliers using the Smart Cut technology. The Smart Cut technology is also behind the development of new families of standard and custom engineered wafers.
The Soitec Smart Cut technology was developed in collaboration with CEA-Leti, one of the world's premier microelectronics research laboratories. The technology was particularly made viable for high-volume commercial production by Soitec, and is now protected by more than 3,000 Soitec-owned or controlled patents. Soitec leverages the Smart Cut technology to fabricate engineered wafers for the world's leading chipmakers, and licenses this technology. Japanese silicon supplier Shin Etsu Handotai was the first company to license the Smart Cut technology.
The Smart Cut technology can make use of both implantation of light ions and wafer bonding to define and transfer ultra-thin single-crystal layers from one substrate to another. The Smart Cut technology works like an atomic scalpel, and allows active layers to be managed independently from the supporting mechanical substrate.
This combination implantation and wafer bonding provides multiple advantages:
The Smart Cut technology has withstood the test of time in volume manufacturing, and offers a slate of proven industrial advantages:
Soitec's SOI is used in a very broad spectrum of consumer chip applications.
The Smart Cut technology, in combination with other substrate materials and technologies in the Soitec portfolio, also provides manufacturers with new opportunities for innovation and differentiation in growing and emerging fields like 3D applications, LEDs, photonics, display panels, and solar cells.

Heat, wind, and no rain just part of a troubling Western recipe for explosive fires
Climate change suggests an increase in wildfire frequency and greater fire intensity. McInerney said no matter what one believes regarding climate change, the real-life swings experienced in Utah are at the very least something to ponder.
"We are doing climate change if you look at the research," he said. "These conditions are mimicking what these guys have researched."
Both McInerney and Doug Inkley, a scientist with the National Wildlife Federation, said fires are nature's cleansers and aren't necessarily a bad thing.
"Fire is a natural cycle to the environment," McInerney said. "It is a good thing; it changes vegetation."
The problem, Inkley said, is the intensity of the fires playing out in Utah, Colorado and the rest of the West.
"These are like natural fires on steroids," he said. "They are much more intense, very hot and damaging and very patchy."
The fires feed on invasive plants such as cheat grass and burn so hot they leave bare mineral soil exposed, leading to rapid runoff in the spring and more flash flooding. As a result, trees and other vegetation don't have the time to retain as much moisture, and they dry out more quickly in the next go-round.
Inkley said it is a vicious cycle.
"We really have no reason to expect this trend to change at all. Short term, I don't know how we undo it."
Beetle troubles
A steadily warming climate has also tipped the balance in the natural relationship between tree-boring beetles and the trees they infest.
"Spruce beetles and mountain pine beetles have been around for millions of years. They are sort of part of the forest," said Barbara Bentz, a research entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station. "If you don't have them that suggests something is wrong."
Milder springs, however, have led to a tree mortality rate due to beetle infestations that has not been seen in 150 years, Bentz said.
"It's hard to say if this has happened before and what happens when this happens," because it is outside of modern man's experience, she said.
Swaths of forests full of dead and dying trees play a role in the intensity of wildfires, but there's debate and disagreement in the science and fire communities over the extent of the role.
"There's a lot of controversy over how much difference it makes, but the simple physics can be summarized pretty easily," said Matt Jolley, a fire research ecologist with the Forest Service's Missoula Fire Lab. "When you look at ignition criteria — how much energy it takes to ignite a (beetle)-attacked tree — they ignite faster from the same amount of heat and burn faster."
What can't be ignored is that the infestations — by one beetle species or another — aren't showing any signs of being effectively controlled by what man can do.
Warmer and drier spring seasons throughout the Western United States have helped the beetles flourish; 6.8 million acres of forests were impacted by infestations of the mountain pine beetle in 2010.
That winter, however, was followed by a record wet and delayed spring that Bentz said for the first time since 2003 caused a substantial decrease in the number of trees killed off by mountain pine beetles.
In Utah, for example, trees killed by mountain pine beetles decreased by 75 percent in 2011.
Spruce beetle kills, however, have remained relatively unchanged in Utah over that two-year period and one Forest Service supervisory entomologist said it will only get worse — with prime recreation places like Big Cottonwood Canyon at risk as the beetles march north.
"I'm very concerned; there's a lot of private property that can't be accessed," said Steve Munson.

Walter Williams, a 78-year-old farmer and hospice patient from Lexington, Miss., was pronounced dead at his home Wednesday night and transported to Porter and Sons Funeral Home in Lexington for embalming.
USA Today reported that as the staff at Porter and Sons was getting ready to begin the embalming process, they discovered Williams was still alive – and kicking – inside his zipped up body bag in the early morning hours of Feb. 27.
No-one can explain with certainty how Williams seemingly came back to life, except to say that five hours after being declared dead, the elderly man woke up inside that body bag.
"I asked the coroner what happened, and the only thing he could say is that it's a miracle," Holmes County Sheriff Willie March said.
The attending coroner, Dexter Howard, declared Williams deceased after checking his pulse on the evening of Feb. 26.
"I did my part in checking him, I filed my paperwork, and we were ready to make the removal," Howard said.
"We got him to the funeral home, and into the embalming room and noticed the kicking, and he began to breathe."
Eddie Hester, Williams' nephew, was with his uncle and watched as paramedics placed Williams in the body bag, zipped it up, and left for the funeral home.
But five hours later at the funeral home, according to WAPT, the coroner had to dial 911 for an ambulance to pick up Williams. Sheriff March said, "They picked him up, assuming he was dead, and now he's alive."
Coroner Howard said that one possible explanation for Williams' coming back from the dead is that his "pacemaker may have stopped working and then started up again."
Williams' nephew is just happy to have his uncle back.
"I don't know how long he's going to be here, but I know he's back right now. That's all that matters," Hester said.
For more on Williams' surprising recovery, see the video accompanying this article.

"After miscarrying twice, I found out I was pregnant with mono mono identical twins at ~8 weeks. Exciting, but very. scary. news!! At 13 weeks we found out our babies were boys, and that they were showing signs of TTTS. We did not have TTTS on our minds as mono mono twinning was a big enough worry in itself. I was immediately sent to a local MFM to confirm TTTS, then sent to a TTTS specialist across the state 3 days later. We made weekly trips to Seattle to check on the boys.
At 18 weeks, our survivor (recipient), Brandon, was in heart failure, and our angel (donor), Andrew, was horribly anemic. Our MFM took me in for laser surgery but was not able to complete surgery because of the complexities of the mono mono pregnancy. We lost baby Andrew at 18 weeks. I carried the boys until 36w6d, at which time I was induced secondary to pre-eclampsia. I had a very peaceful, un-medicated delivery. We met our baby boys, Brandon and Andrew, on February 28th, 2010. Brandon's only complications were a fractured clavicle and polycythemia (high red blood cell count, as a result of blood being shunted to him) which lead to hyperbili. He was in and out of the hospital for the first 1 1/2 weeks of life for hydration and phototherapy, then has been healthy ever since. Brandon turned 2 1/2 yesterday. He is now a wild and crazy boy!
After delivering the boys, and realizing our hospital had nothing for itty bitty angels, I was on a mission to find something to provide for future angels and their families. I looked around online for organizations and/or patterns for baby hats, gowns, etc. After not finding anything in the limited amount of time I had to explore, I put my search on hold. As soon as I heard about Teeny Tears I jumped on board! I was SO excited to be able to provide itty bitty diapers for angel babies! My mom and I have been on diaper duty for the past few months. My 6 yr old daughter, India, recently joined in on the process. She has loved having special time to talk about our babies, while at the same time helping others. We delivered our first batch of diapers to Deaconess last week. It was a very bitter sweet day returning to the hospital where all of my babies were born."

my favorite brownies
print now | return to original post
My Favorite Brownies
I've talked about these before. A larger, thinner version of them formed the mosaic in the brownie mosaic cheesecake. I riffed on them with bittersweet and white chocolate instead of unsweetened for some schmoopy heart brownies. But I've never given them to you straight, and I must, because from time to time someone asks me what my favorite brownie recipe is and I have to email it to them, which makes me feel like I've failed as a food blogger.
In an effort to put some unique spin on these, I've done many things to them over the years: I've browned the butter, replaced half the white sugar with brown or replaced some of the flour with cocoa powder. I've added pinches of cinnamon and toasted walnuts and chocolate chips. All of these things are good. None of them are needed. If you promise not to fuss, you could be eating these in under an hour. I'm not even going to pretend you're still reading, knowing that.
Updated to note: If you only have semi- or bittersweet chocolate (60 to 72 percent), I created a version of these brownies with that last year, the darker half of this duo. But, the chocolate intensity is definitely dialed down. However, the sugar level is also adjusted to accomodate for the sweeter chocolate.
New note, 8/21/13: FWIW, I found a new way to
ruin our lives, er, make these awesomer and that's to bake them in mini-muffin pans. This is ideal for brownie edge lovers, as they become nothing but edges with the fudgiest of centers. Spray the pans first with a non-stick spray and fill them almost to the top. They bake for about 16 minutes before a toothpick comes out batter-free. Let them sit in the pan for 5 minutes on a cooling rack before unmolding them, or they break easily. Mine had a frustrating yield of 29 (i.e. just enough to require more than a pans worth) but it made for such perfect, delicious, two-bite servings, I forgive them.
Makes 1 8×8 pan of brownies which you can cut into 16 2-inch squares (shown above), 25 smaller squares, or 32 2×1-inch bites, which is what I usually do.
3 ounces (85 grams) unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
1 stick (4 ounces or 115 grams) unsalted butter, plus extra for pan
1 1/3 cups (265 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt (about 2 grams)
2/3 cup (85 grams) all-purpose flour
Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment, extending it up two sides, or foil. Butter the parchment or foil or spray it with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium heatproof bowl over gently simmering water, melt chocolate and butter together until only a couple unmelted bits remain. Off the heat, stir until smooth and fully melted. You can also do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each. Whisk in sugar, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and salt. Stir in flour with a spoon or flexible spatula and scrape batter into prepared pan, spread until even. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out batter-free.
Let cool and cut into desired size. If you're like me, you will prefer these and all brownies, cold or even frozen. But I bet you're normal and will just eat them hot from the pan. If desired, dust the brownies with powdered sugar before serving.

La Sylphide, one of the oldest surviving Romantic ballets, features an all-star cast including Aurélie Dupont and Mathieu Ganio in this production from the Paris Opera Ballet.
The libretto by Adolphe Nourrit was inspired by romantic tales recounting the impossible love between a human and a supernatural creature. The tormented young James finds himself torn between the promise of a comfortable life held out by his impending marriage to Effie and the freedom embodied by the Sylphide, that inaccessible ideal who comes to him in his dreams.
The work was a critical triumph from the outset, praised in particular by Théophile Gautier, who would later write the libretto for Giselle. This emblematic ballet was lost to the repertoire for more than a century. This production is a faithful recreation by Pierre Lacotte, the ballet choreographer and historian who specializes in reconstructing "lost" ballets.

Hey Union, How You Doin'?
THE STORY: In case you missed it, our Union is still here.
THE WHAT: Now that the "rubble of crisis" is out of our way, phew, the State of our Union is strong (or stronger than the last time we had this chat). President Obama made clear he wants his second term to include a revived middle class with an agenda focused on the economy and jobs. Also, he wants a vote on guns. Sometimes a vote is just a vote. Except when it means so much more.
HMM OK, WHAT WAS THE TONE? We'll be straight with you. It was the most boring of times, it was the most moving of times. SOTU was really a tale of two speeches.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST PART? We learned we're not in need of a bigger government, "but a smarter government that sets priorities" and invests in growth.
MORE PLEASE.* Deficit... as in what President Obama wants to do will cost money, but his proposals won't increase the deficit, which he promises to reduce. He will only support "balanced" efforts that include spending cuts and tax increases.* Sequester... as in, yah, we probably shouldn't let those automatic spending cuts happen since they would hurt the economy and stop important government programs.* Climate Change... as in Al Gore might as well have been up there. The president wants Congress to do more on climate change and even gave a shout out to the work Sen. John McCain has done on this. Oh, '08, how far away you seem.* Preschool... as in private costs a pretty penny. The president wants to make high-quality preschool education available to all of America's children so that more graduate and less get knocked up as teens or turn into criminals.* Education... as in a new form of college rankings brought to you by Team Obama; "College Scorecard" will rank the most bang for your educational buck.* Immigration... as in it's time to reform it. Send him the bill.* Jobs... as in "Fix-it-First," a $50 billion program to fix the worst of the worst in infrastructure. And companies like Siemens and Apple are bringing jobs to the US of A.* Minimum Wage... as in our summer jobs would have been a lot cushier under Barry, who wants to raise the min. wage to $9 an hour, so no full-time worker is impoverished.* Afghanistan... as in another 34,000 troops are comin' on home and by the end of next year our war will be over. Hooray! Too bad al Qaeda affiliates are still out there.* Cyber Defense... as in a new signed, executive order that increases info sharing and protective standards.
SO WHEN DID IT GET GOOD? When the president talked about protecting our right to vote and our children. The Capitol transformed into an emotional chamber as President Obama emphatically ("Gabby Giffords deserves a vote"; "Newtown deserves a vote") stated that gun control proposals deserve a vote, "because in the two months since Newtown, more than 1,000 birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun." Chills.
HOW WAS JOE? Happy, smiley, fidgety, distracting. It took VP Biden awhile to find a comfortable position: tie in, tie out; glasses on, glasses off; pen cap on, pan cap off; rub injured eye, don't rub injured eye. What was unclear? If his glasses were tinted purple. What was clear? He hearts Barry. A lot.
AND JOHN? House Speaker Boehner was either suffering a severe case of dead leg or found it too difficult to stand and applaud for pretty much anything. Apparently, minimum wage, protecting voting rights, and celebrating a 102 year-old voter are not his thing.
TELL ME ABOUT DESILINE. Desiline Victor is everyone's new hero. The 102-year-old, who became a naturalized citizen in 2005, stood in line for hours to exercise her right to vote and cast her ballot in Florida last year. We're going to take a guess she voted for Obama. She got a nice shout out and brought most (cough, Boehner, cough) to their feet. Get it gurl.
HOW WAS THE AFTER-PARTY? Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) revealed to the nation that he has a drinking problem. As a part of the Republican rebuttal, Rubio challenged Obama's commitment to the middle class and expansion of government. He worked hard on behalf of his party to appeal to the Hispanic community and the middle class. Perhaps, he worked too hard, as he needed a drawn out, awkward gulp of water that made us wonder if he was also auditioning for a Poland Spring commercial. The SNL writing team will be sure to thank him for giving them an early start to this week's script.
WHO DIDN'T WATCH? Banana Joe. Joe the Affenpinscher won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. He beat out fan favorite Swagger, an Old English sheepdog. We expect both canines to go on to fame, fortune, and a mating life only the Situation could dream of.
REPEAT AFTER ME...What to say when you feel relief... Thank goodness that's over. Everyone in Southern California is breathing a sigh of relief after the hunt for fugitive and ex-LAPD cop Christopher Dorner has seemingly come to an end; Dorner is believed to be dead in a burned-out cabin in Big Bear, CA. Dorner had been on the lam for over a week, after killing three people and making it clear he was out for revenge against the LAPD. Dorner did not go quietly into the good night and led police into a crazy standoff in the mountains. First, Dorner allegedly broke into a mountain home, took a couple hostage, and stole a car. Then he ended up in a shoot out with police, killing one deputy. He made it to a cabin, where more gunfire was exchanged and ultimately a fire raged. A charred body was found in the cabin, although it may take days to confirm it's Dorner.
What to say about Ash Wednesday... I'm willing to give up chocolate, alcohol, and gossiping but I have my limits. And JT is not in the mix. Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z are said to be taking their suits and ties on the road and joining forces for a stadium tour that can only be described as "AHHHH." Well this explains why Jessica Biel looked so buddy buddy with Mr. and Mrs. Carter at Sunday's Grammys. A multi-city tour is said to be in discussion, meaning Skimm HQ will be relocating as needed, driving in the HOVA lane.
What to say when you rent an apartment... You know what, I'm feeling good about this place, let's buy the whole thing! Comcast is clearly feeling good about NBCUniversal, which it acquired a majority stake of in 2011, and just bought the rest of it. GE is giving up its 49% stake in the company a lot sooner than expected but hey, $16.7 billion isn't a bad parting gift. GE plans to use the money to give back to shareholders and invest in its industrial business. Comcast, which now owns everything from Ryan Seacrest to Andy Cohen and Housewives to our "Law & Order: SVU" marathons, will also get to take famed 30 Rock. The actual building. Insert Liz Lemon comment here.
What to say about "House of Cards"... Must get sleep. I'm hooked, which means I'm way too tired to go to Fashion Week. Thankfully, designer Peter Som thought ahead and after ten years of traditional fashion shows, Som will present his inaugural digital runway show this morning. The collection was filmed last week and edited down to a six-minute show, which puts less pressure on models to be, well, perfect.
What to say when no one sits next to you on the subway... Wrestling found out it was unpopular, too. It even has less friends than modern pentathlon. The International Olympic Committee voted by secret ballot, because no one likes to offend a sport to its face, to drop wrestling from its 2020 schedule in an attempt to "streamline" the Olympics and to make room for new sports like golf and rugby. While golf and rugby have nice shirts, wrestling has gone where diplomacy, or even freshly pressed cotton t's, cannot, when it brought athletes from Iran and the US to compete and hug post match in 2012.
BIRTHDAYS: Rachel Sessions (Austin, TX); Afiya Williams (Atlanta, GA); Barbara Zakin (New York, NY); Carly Crigler (Baton Rouge, LA); Molly McConn (Houston, TX)

The National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Unlike meetings of academic professional organizations, this gathering of up to 2,000 young scholars welcomes presenters from all institutions of higher learning and from all corners of the academic curriculum.
Selection Guidelines
The Undergraduate Research and Creativity Committee (URCC) is committed to providing UW-L students the opportunity to present their research at annual events including NCUR*, the UW-System's Annual Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creativity, and Posters in the Rotunda. The committee has developed guidelines to be used for selecting travel awards to these events. Any student who receives a travel award to attend these events must make a commitment to present at the UW-L Celebration of Student Research & Creativity.
General selection guidelines:
1. Travel awards will be selected based on the overall quality of the research project.
2. Priority will be given to students who have not previously received funding for travel to that event. Prior funding does not eliminate a student from consideration, but places that student at the bottom of the list.
3. Priority will be given to seniors, then to juniors, then to sophomores, then to freshmen.
4. Every effort will be made to ensure that a fair distribution of students is selected across and within academic departments and programs.
*Additional selection guidelines, specific to NCUR:
1. In order to receive funding for travel to NCUR, the following information must be included when you submit your abstract to NCUR: Undergraduate Research Office Coordinator Information
2. A maximum of one student author per accepted abstract will be funded.
Important Dates and Deadlines for NCUR 2014
The 28th annual National Conference on Undergraduate Research will be held in Lexington, Kentucky at the University of Kentucky from Thursday, April 3-Saturday, April 5. The Undergraduate Research and Creativity Committee is committed to sending select student's from UW-La Crosse. Abstract submission for NCUR 2014 will be announced.

"We are a very young team and made some very young mistakes on the floor tonight. I really liked the way we picked up our defensive intensity in the last five minutes of the game.
On the play of senior guard Tysell Bozeman:
"She is playing a lot more under control and is really beginning to learn to make the right decisions in key situations.
On the play of freshman forward Veranda James:
"Veranda is a player. She is still young and is going to be very good. She makes the most of her opportunities down in the low post area.
"We needed to win tonight. We have a tough weekend ahead of us and we needed to continue to cut down on our mistakes. Brigham Young and Notre Dame are both very good teams that are coming off excellent seasons.
"The turnovers we make have to be eliminated. We need to continue to capitalize on our opponent's mistakes. We'll be ready for next weekend. I really feel good about our inside game and am excited to watch it continue to develop.
"We have a good team. We need to keep improving. Our freshman are going to be very good.
"This team is a lot of fun to coach. When you have a mesh a group of newcomers and returners, it is exciting to teach and watch everybody come together.
"We represent Arizona and we will be successful. We need our fans to come out and support us in what promises to be a very tough and exciting schedule."
Sophomore Krista Warren:
"Now, we need more people that were on the bench to come in."
"I am more comfortable, I'm not as nervous. Our post players are extremely fast, especially for how big they are."
"Our transition game wasn't as quick as usual. We set up more plays, usually we're on the go more."
Freshman Veranda James:
"I feel comfortable with my teammates. I"m learning timing with passing, rebounding, when to switch on defense, when to post up."
On making the transition to college basketball:
"I thought it would be a lot harder. But my teammates are great, we talk a lot."
On the relationship between her and Reshea Bristol:
"The chemistry is there. I can read the expression on her face and know where to go and she can read mine."
"Our quickness and size helped a lot with our inside game."

San Juan Nightlife
With its concentration of bars, clubs, salsa cafés and casinos, visitors to San Juan will find there is something to suit their partying and entertainment needs on just about any night. As in most Latin cities, the nightlife only really gets going late but when it does there's a good chance you will see in the dawn.
Being a major cruise port, much of the nightlife is suited to tourists looking for a bit of Caribbean flavour and fun. Start off by watching the sunset with a freshly made Mojito or piña colada (the latter of which was invented at the Hilton Hotel right here in San Juan) at a beach bar in this sultry city before heading out to the Old Town to enjoy a leisurely dinner at one of the many stylish and trendy restaurants. Locals like to look sharp when going out in San Juan so don't be afraid to throw your favourite party outfit on before hitting the town for a night out.
Most of the nightlife is situated in the Old Town, while San Sebastian Street is a major hotspot dotted with pulsating clubs, bars and discos. El Batey's on Calle del Cristo in the Old Town is a favourite for a night of drinking, pool shooting and mingling, while the Lobby Lounge fires up the dancefloor with live bands jamming salsa and meringue beats and even offers dance lessons for visitors keen on shaking their hips.

If you're a nurse, or do any work with needles, you know where this post is headed...
I remember when I was a student nurse and first heard, "Never recap a needle." While it made sense theoretically in my head, I had a hard time grasping the concept of carrying an exposed needle across a room to a sharps container, at least the ones that didn't have their own safety mechanism. Nevertheless, I obeyed, though it never became second nature to me to not cover a needle instantaneously with its cap laying around.
Fast forward to today in my office. Lunchtime at my new school is total chaos: kids coming in excitedly showing me fallen teeth, crying kids complaining of "broken knees," and, at the center, my two diabetics. In the whirlwind of things today, I poked Mr. High Maintenance with his unit of insulin. The sharps container is away in a cupboard, and among the chaos I set the needle down on a tall set of drawers (Mistake #1). I was putting away the insulin and at chest level saw the needle laying around. Obviously not really thinking about what I was doing, I recapped it while I was talking to a kid (Mistake #2). The problem was I didn't really recap it. The needle bent, and when I looked down to see why the needle hadn't clicked into its cap, I could see I had just delivered my very first needlestick injury.
I washed it, and then hung my head in shame as I called my coordinator about it. She had me call the workplace injury hotline for a report, and said they would likely be sending me to the local hospital for a blood draw. I called the hotline and gave my report, thoroughly expecting to be directed to the hospital. Instead, she thanked me for my report, apparently not aware of bloodborne pathogens. While I was thankful for not being sent to the lab immediately - I didn't have time for such frivolous activity today - this means I'll have to go get a blood test on my own. I suppose that's okay too, it was my mistake and I intend to own it.
I made it through nursing school without a medication error, which I imagine would have felt as I do now: incredibly, unbelievably stupid. And unless you are a nurse that made a mistake as dumb as this (if there was one thing drilled into my head in nursing school, I'm pretty sure it was to never recap), it's probably hard to understand how much of an idiot I feel like today. Worse, as a relatively young nurse, I can't even claim, "Well, that's the way we used to do it."
That said, I generally get over things pretty quickly with a c'est la vie philosophy, and live and learn. I have a good feeling I will never recap a needle again.
As a total aside, thank you Gina for giving me my 15 minutes! Terribly embarrassing to happen at the same time as this humiliating post, but, on the bright side, maybe someone will learn from me: do not ever recap a needle!
Never recap a needle.

With children's active lifestyles it's hard to get them to sit for a meal, especially one that is healthy. The distraction of friends, sports, and SpongeBob often takes priority over eating. Rather than expecting my kids to sit for a five course meal, I have learned to make healthy eating part of our daily activities. Here are some ideas for adventurous meal planning for your busy family:
Berry picking
One of my favorite summer activities is gathering berries with my kids. Being out in the open air provides them with exercise as they learn about agriculture. Most orchards are open from early spring until late fall. Some have ray rides leading you to the berry fields while others offer U-pick for berry gathering. Check for which fruit is in season. Typically strawberries season starts in June. This is shortly followed by raspberry, cherry, peach, and blueberry season. As we head into fall, apples trees are overflowing and pumpkins are sprouting on the vines. I love gathering all types of fruit but my favorite is straight-off-the-vine blueberries. Whichever fruit strikes your fancy, even fickle fruit eaters cannot resist the aroma of a late summer harvest. During my numerous visits to the orchard, I have yet to see a child whose cheeks were not fuller than their buckets.
Visit a Farmer's Market
If I take my kids shopping at the supermarket, they immediately head towards the candy aisle. But if I take them to a farmer's market, they are immediately drawn to the colorful, eye-catching fruits and vegetables. The first time I took my son to the market I was impressed by the selections he made. My little "cookie monster" grabbed an eggplant off the shelf and gleefully put it in the cart. He was enamored by its purple color and insisted I make it for dinner that night. That evening, I honored his request. I put away the mac n' cheese and served my two-year old son lightly breaded, sautéed eggplant. This is not to say I believe in depriving your kids of their favorites (it would be absolutely cruel to abolish chocolate from your household!) But I have learned my child's eating habits stem from what foods my husband and I choose to buy for our family.
Set up a "grocery store" in your home
If your child dislikes shopping, bring the "store" to the comfort of your family room. Gather some empty cardboard boxes and set up shelves. Stock the boxes with bananas, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, bread, cereal, and other healthy choices. Make signs to label the sections of your grocery store. When you are finished setting up your store, start shopping. Use a baby stroller for your "cart." Set up a check-out station with a play cash register and fake money. Place your groceries in paper bags. Carry your groceries "home" to your kitchen just in time to enjoy a hearty lunch.
Set up a taste testing station
When fall rolls around my "real job" as a stay-at-home mom winds down, and I head to my "day job" as a preschool teacher. For one of our daily lessons, I cut up apples for the kids to taste and decide which types they liked best. I used juicy red gala apples and tart green granny smith apples for the taste challenge. I placed them into two separate bowls and labeled one "sweet" and the other one "sour." Even though most kids had a strong preference towards one type or the other, it was interesting to note the kids finished all of the apples on their plates. This lesson taught me children are more willing to eat foods when presented with a choice. Although it may be tempting for parents to dictate what our children should eat, it's important to teach children to make healthy decisions, too.
Dine outdoors
Last summer, our kids were having an evening play date with our next door neighbors and did not want to come in for supper. My neighbor and I decided to create a "restaurant" in our driveway. We set up card tables and retrieved lawn chairs from our garages. My neighbor brought over some left over beef brisket, and I cut up some tomatoes and cucumbers. We were amazed at how well our children ate their dinners. My daughter, who refuses to eat any meat but hot dogs, devoured her beef sandwich. Her children, who normally will not touch veggies with a ten foot pole, readily polished off their plates of produce. Seeing what other families are having for dinner helps children realize parents are not being "mean" by insisting on healthy choices. And the best part is, healthy food tastes good, too!

Western medicine is a system in which medical doctors and other healthcare professionals (such as nurses, pharmacists and therapists) treat symptoms and diseases using drugs, radiation or surgery. At places like L.A.'s UCLA Medical System and Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Western medicine is administered with extraordinary skill and extreme care. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) focuses on prevention and secondarily disease. A recent L.A. Times article reports CAM therapies like acupuncture and chiropractic treatments will be offered in an integrative health and healing center slated to begin construction in early 2012 at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' West L.A. campus. Reiki (a CAM therapy), strives to maintain a balance through the body by stimulating a constant, smooth-flowing Qi energy. It's a simple, affordable, readily accessible therapy for today's complex mental and physical health concerns. It is easily learned and can be self-administered or performed by a certified practitioner. Here are a few ways Reiki supports mental and, subsequently, physical well being.
Reiki for addiction: According to National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), "drug addiction shares many features with other chronic illnesses, including a tendency to run in families (heritability), an onset and course that is influenced by environmental conditions and behavior, and the ability to respond to appropriate treatment, which may include long-term lifestyle modification." Addicts can learn Reiki for themselves or receive Reiki therapy from a practitioner to support and encourage self-healing with clarity of thought and choices made from a position of authentic empowerment. It can improve results of mental health therapies and counseling without causing interference.
Reiki for loss and grief: Loss occurs on many different levels. Losing a home, ending a love relationship, job loss or a severed friendship can lead to prolonged depression and anxiety that can block recovery. Reiki can help relieve the urge to hold onto people, places, things and past events that no longer serve a positive need.
Reiki and Veterans: U.S. veterans are plagued by PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual trauma, depression and other remnants of wartime service. Vets can be taught to self-heal using Reiki, making it avaiilable to them at all times. They can access Reiki in the moment, as they feel fear, anxiety or depression building inside. Reiki's gentle relaxation and mind clearing benefits may see someone through a crisis long enough for them to reach out for the help they need before causing harm to themselves or others.
Distance Reiki: Get Reiki from any practitioner in the world. Just as all living beings are connected, so is the vital energy that surrounds each individual. Like prayer, healing energy can be sent, received and felt anywhere in the world.

In a clinical trial, patients received increasing doses of PRANDIN up to 80 mg a day for 14 days. There were few adverse effects other than those associated with the intended effect of lowering blood glucose. Hypoglycemia did not occur when meals were given with these high doses. Hypoglycemic symptoms without loss of consciousness or neurologic findings should be treated aggressively with oral glucose and adjustments in drug dosage and/or meal patterns. Close monitoring may continue until the physician is assured that the patient is out of danger. Patients should be closely monitored for a minimum of 24 to 48 hours, since hypoglycemia may recur after apparent clinical recovery. There is no evidence that repaglinide is dialyzable using hemodialysis.
Severe hypoglycemic reactions with coma, seizure, or other neurological impairment occur infrequently, but constitute medical emergencies requiring immediate hospitalization. If hypoglycemic coma is diagnosed or suspected, the patient should be given a rapid intravenous injection of concentrated (50%) glucose solution. This should be followed by a continuous infusion of more dilute (10%) glucose solution at a rate that will maintain the blood glucose at a level above 100 mg/dL.
PRANDIN is contraindicated in patients with:
- Diabetic ketoacidosis, with or without coma. This condition should be treated with insulin.
- Type 1 diabetes.
- Co-administration of gemfibrozil.
- Known hypersensitivity to the drug or its inactive ingredients.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2010 issue.
Members and sponsors gathered at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens on Sunday, June 6, helmets on hand, to participate in the ground-breaking ceremony for the Mexican Orchid Conservatory construction, the first of its kind in the entire country. "Mexico is the third-most bio-diverse country in the world," commented Bob Price, founder and curator of the Gardens. "With over 1500 native Mexican orchid species, our new conservatory will become a national landmark." Thanks to a 2007 grant from the American Orchid Society, the Vallarta Botanical Gardens conducted a first-ever census of native orchid species in the area. Fifty-six unique species were identified within a five-mile radius of the Gardens, confirming the location is ideal for housing the new orchid collection. Construction is expected to conclude before the end of 2010, and the Gardens are still actively seeking donations for this important project.

NEW YORK (AP) -- John Calipari didn't call out Chris Douglas-Roberts by name after an off night in the semifinals of the 2K Sports College Hoops Classic. But the Memphis coach did single out the guy wearing No. 14.
"I think he got the message," he said.
Douglas-Roberts answered with a career-high 33 points and the No. 3 Tigers, after racing out to a big early lead, held on to beat Connecticut 81-70 on Friday night in the championship game of the tournament benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer.
"He was so lackadaisical" against Oklahoma, Calipari said of Douglas-Roberts. "But it's so early in the season."
Freshman sensation Derrick Rose added a career-high 24 points for the Tigers, who opened an early 15-point lead but found themselves trailing by one at the half. Rose looked every bit the first-year player running the point, though, turning the ball over five times without an assist.
"I called a timeout and went right at him," said Calipari, who threatened to bench Rose if he put up another circus shot. "But he's going to be a pretty good player -- pretty good right now."
Douglas-Roberts, the tournament MVP, broke open a close game during a decisive second-half run, hitting a pair of free throws with the game knotted at 60 and less than nine minutes to play. That set off a 16-5 spurt capped by his jumper with 3:55 left, putting the game out of reach.
"We knew Connecticut is a good team and they were going to make a run," Douglas-Roberts said. "If we get nervous any time a team like that makes a run, we're in trouble."
A.J. Price scored 23 to lead Connecticut (3-1), often playing much bigger than his 6-foot-2 frame. He routinely threw himself among the Memphis forwards, slicing through the lane to help the Huskies rally in the first half and stay close after the break.
"A.J. I thought led us back," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "One guy sitting 3 inches from me (in the crowd) said, 'I'm taking the early train back.' But we fought back and I was very proud of that."
Jerome Dyson scored 14 of his 17 points after halftime for UConn, which also got 11 points and nine rebounds from Hasheem Thabeet.
Memphis forward Joey Dorsey, who aggravated a shoulder injury in the semifinal against Oklahoma, played sparingly in the first half and finished with four points and 12 rebounds, most of those on the defensive end as the Tigers (4-0) pulled away.
It was the first time Calhoun and Calipari, bitter rivals from when Calipari led Massachusetts, had faced each other in 17 years. Back then, the brash, young UMass coach invaded New England to steal away future NBA star Marcus Camby and plenty of Calhoun's thunder.
But all that was years ago, before Calipari moved on to the NBA and long before he took over at Memphis.
Both say tensions have eased. Calhoun called Memphis "one of the finest teams in America" after beating Gardner-Webb in the semifinals, even before he knew that the Tigers would dispatch Oklahoma in Thursday's nightcap.
Memphis certainly looked as good as advertised early on.
The Tigers raced to their big lead with a frenetic run-run-run pace that left Connecticut dazed and disheveled. In one stretch Dorsey slammed an ally-oop from Willie Kemp, Robert Dozier blocked a dunk attempt at the other end, and Rose layed in a windmilling scoop high off the glass to make it 18-3 barely five minutes in.
"Obviously Rose is a great, great young player," Calhoun said. "And if Douglas-Roberts isn't a first-team All-American, somebody is making a serious mistake."
Connecticut slowly whittled away at the lead, closing to 36-29 with 3:15 left. Then Calipari was hit with a technical foul for riding the referees, and a minute later center Shawn Taggart was hit with another for slamming the ball down in frustration.
After a parade of free throws -- the Huskies went to the line 23 times in the half against just three for Memphis -- Jeff Adrien knocked down two with 12.9 seconds remaining to give UConn a 41-40 lead at the break.
"I don't know if we let an opportunity go by or had an opportunity taken away," Calhoun said. "When we got down we were in serious trouble. ... We showed a lot of character coming back."
In the third-place game at Madison Square Garden, the Sooners beat Gardner-Webb 69-55.

I ask this because many times, installers are bone-headed and they use the language from the input location instead of system language. For instance, I live in Portugal, but I have my Windows in English. Just because my locale/keyboard are Portuguese, sometimes programs insist on using that language instead of the system default.
Aphasia wrote:Xonar drivers seem to be like that. I also have all my OS settings in english, although my keyboard and locale for decimal and numbers are swedish, and the Xonar drivers defaults to swedish.
Ph.D - try to set all the settings to english, no matter what, and reinstall the drivers. A.k.a. remove the japaneese from the keyboard settings, etc. It might work... on the other hand, it might not work. That said, the translation on those drivers are horrid. When the exact same message came up in swedish, I had to read it 3 times.
Ph.D wrote:I've recently bought a Xonar DX sound card. After installing the card and the drivers I noticed something really strange:
"These drivers must be wrong!" I thought so I went to the Asus website and downloaded the latest drivers there.
Still German.
"I'll take this opportunity and download better drivers!" I thought so I got the Uni Xonar drivers and installed those.
Still German.
Why on earth is almost everything on my Xonar in German? And how do I set it to English?
My Windows is in English and the text on the box of the Xonar was in English as well.
Ph.D wrote:I won't delete the Japanese keyboard layout since I am actually using a Japanese keyboard. Not to mention that I do not see a relation between having a Japanese keyboard layout and my Xonar being in German.
They can't have seriously hardcoded German into that card right? That would mean they'd have to release different versions for each language. That's just downright silly.
Aphasia wrote:Yepp, it's tied to system locale.
destroy.all.monsters wrote:I can't imagine how driver software would track you wherever you went. Scary and a bit ridiculous to contemplate.
Did you talk to Asus? You could try removing the driver software and the registry entries and downloading the most recent version of the drivers from their website.
Ph.D wrote:Aphasia wrote:Yepp, it's tied to system locale.
Well I'm not in Germany so I don't understand that, then.
Or doing the opposite, move the Deu.dll and copy the Enu.dll to Deu.dll. That should work no matter what it defaults to.MrJP wrote:That is a weird one. I've got a Xonar DX running in the UK on Windows 7 with all UK location settings, and mine's all in English.
On a similar note to the previous post, how about temporarily renaming the German language file for the Audio Centre application (AsusAudioCenterResDeu.dll) and seeing if it then defaults to a different (hopefully default English) version?

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we took the train to Montreal for the day. I was somewhat wistful as I was riding into the city. The train tracks to Annapolis Royal were taken up in the 1980s. There are still many people who speak of their enjoyment of being able to hop on the train in the morning, spend the day in Halifax and travel home in the evening. As I sat on the train I was wishing that the tracks were still in place. It really is nice to sit on the train, chat with the other passengers and in a couple of hours step out into the middle of the city.
The first rail link to Annapolis Royal was established by the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in 1861. We were the end of the line for this system. More precisely, the railway wharf in Annapolis Royal was the end of the line. The successor of this wharf is the only active wharf on the waterfront today. The station was located in the middle of the parking lot beside the Farmers and Traders Market. Including passengers, the railway carried fruit from the Annapolis Valley, lumber, salt fish, and a wide variety of other products. One of the main reasons for our town's economic boom at the end of the nineteenth century was the railway.
While our line ended in Annapolis Royal, the line down the south shore came all the way around to Digby. The short distance between the communities was known as the missing link. Local merchants began to lobby the government to finish the missing link under the assumption that merchandise from the south shore would also flow through Annapolis. In 1891 the link was finally completed to the excitement of the local business community. It is at this time that the line across Alains Creek is established. Unfortunately, Annapolis was no longer the end of the line. The merchants soon learned that we were just another stop. Yarmouth quickly took over as the major shipping port for our part of the province.
Like many communities across Canada, Annapolis Royal found a great deal of its prosperity due to the arrival of the railroad. From 1861 until the 1980s, this was our steel link to the rest of the province and eventually the rest of Canada. Sadly this link has been removed and the option of traveling to Halifax by rail is gone.
On a happier note, the most recent incarnation of the Annapolis Royal train station (the image at the top of this post) still stands. This building, built in the Arts and Crafts style in 1914, has recently won a major award for its restoration by Jane Nicholson. The station is now home to the Clean Annapolis River Project.
There is another local railroad which ran from Nictaux to Port Wade but this story will need to wait for another day and another post.
All for now,

Happily live a more frugal life? You may be wondering who can actually do such a thing happily but, rest assured, it can be done. There are people the Frugal is Fabulous! lifestyle and loving every second of it, and so can you.
How? It is all in the attitude. Life is what you make it, after all. By adjusting your attitude to fit the lifestyle, you too can be happy living frugally. Here are some tips to get you started:
- Make a game out of it. Ask yourself, "How much money can I save this month?" Challenge yourself to put every penny into a jar. At the end of the month, count your savings. Think about how you can use that money in a frugal manner, such as beginning to stock a pantry with food items that are on sale. To make the money go further, see if you can also find coupons for those items.
- Go a step further and challenge someone else. Or more than one person. Family members, friends, the neighbor you barely know from down the street. Anyone can join in. Who can save the most in the coming month?
- Or do have a grocery shopping challenge. Who can buy the most groceries each week for a month, with a spending limit of so much per week per family member? Keep receipts, and use any means possible to stock the pantry, including food given to you by others, rebates, and coupons. The family with the most food stocked per family member at the end of the month wins one or two items of choice from each of the other participants stocks for that time period.
- Your outlook on frugality is important. If you feel it is drudgery, you will not enjoy being frugal. Look on the bright side! You are going to save money. You are going to have stuff. You are going to learn important skills. And shop. You are going to shop. There are many reasons to be excited about frugality.
- Here is another challenge idea, for you and your best friend(s), or you and your daughter(s): Agree on a specific time period to live frugally while saving the money you don't use. At the end of that time period, go on a clothing shopping spree! The rules for the shopping spree are that you can only shop thrift shops, yard sales, dollar stores, and clearance sales, for the ultimate in savings. The point is to see how much fun shopping frugally can be. Consider it an experiment. Using these outlets, you will find new clothing, vintage clothing, and everything in between. And you will see how enjoyable it is to search for clothing at these locations.
- Spread the happiness by having clothing, toy and book swaps with your friends, family and neighbors. Get everyone together. Have them all bring a blanket and picnic lunch, and enjoy yourselves. Show them the fun you can have while saving rather than spending a bunch of money.
- Or, have a community yard sale so you can all make some money. Feel free to add this money to your savings for the shopping trip in number 5, or to begin stocking a pantry or planting food.
- Remember, you are not depriving yourself or your family. You are simply not spending money unnecessarily.
- And, you are not giving money away. You are using it wisely. Why pay full price for something you can get cheaper?
How do you live a happy, frugal life? Let us know in the comments, so we can try out your methods.

My partner and I are expecting a daughter (via surrogacy) this summer (YEAH!) and so we are looking for a pediatrician in/near Berkeley who is gay-friendly and who is OK with the whole surrogacy thing. My guess is that most pediatricians in Berkeley would fit the bill - but just wondering if anyone (esp. other gay dads) could; recommend a pediatrician. We are first-time parents and we know that finding a good pediatrician is critical. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. John
I am new to Kaiser Oakland and am looking for a primary care doc who is comfortable discussing lesbian and/or woman specific health concerns. Sadly, when I called the new patient outreach office and voiced my request, I was met with an uncomfortable silence on the end then was given a referral to what they felt was their most 'liberal' doctor (??!!). I can't believe that in this area that Kaiser's new ''Thrive'' campaign doesn't include outreach to diverse groups. I sure would appreciate Berkeley Parents Network input. Frustrated & Sad
We are looking for a pediatrician who is queer family savvy/ friendly. The pediatricians who take our insurance (Blue Cross PPO) AND are taking new clients are: Janet Perlman, Jane Hunter, Li-Hsia Wang, Elizabeth Salsburg, and Robin Winakur. Does anyone have any experience/ knowledge of any of these in relation to working with queer families? Thanks.
I'm looking for a new primary care provider (I have Blue Shield through Alta Bates, where I work as a nurse), and I've looked through the archives here, but the most recent posting is from 2002. I'm looking for a female physician, lesbian friendly, who is up to date. I have chronic sleep problems of many years, and I think anxiety, neither of which has never been addressed or treated. I want someone who can help me with these. I'd be willing to drive to SF if necessary, doesn't have to be in the East Bay. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi, I'm looking for a lesbian-friendly primary care physician in the East Bay. The doctor doesn't need to be gay, just comfortable and hopefully experienced working with lesbian families. I am considering Dr. Andy Ross of the Alta Bates Medical Group. If anyone has worked with Dr. Ross or another physician they can recommend, I would be most appreciative. thanks, Jane

I have a Drupal website that I've done quite a lot of optimization to in order to reduce memory usage, but it's still running at ~50MB peak per non-cached page load.
Given that I've run it on a local dev machine (Mac OS X 10.6 running MAMP w/ Apache2 and PHP 5.2.17 with XCache and Zend Optimizer) and on another webhost (A CentOS 5.8 machine running Apache2, PHP 5.2.17 with Zend Optimizer) -- which used 14mb and around 30mb respectively -- I'm getting the sneaky suspicion the issue lies with my present webhost (Running Nginx on Debian 6 with PHP 5.2.17 with Zend Optimizer and XCache).
Is there any way of easily benchmarking PHP memory usage across varying server configuration?
