According to a March 17 report from Sky Sports, several interesting storylines will be looked at during tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw.
Triple H to confront Daniel Bryan?
The episode, which airs tonight at 8 p.m. on the USA Network, will likely feature a confrontation between Daniel Bryan and Triple H, along with a fight between Batista and Randy Orton.
Additionally, tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw will probably feature some back-and-forth verbal jabs between Bray Wyatt and John Cena.
Bray Wyatt to collide with John Cena?
Wyatt and Cena have been feuding for months.
They are expected to fight during next month's Wrestlemania XXX event in New Orleans, so tonight would be a great opportunity for the men to hype the bout.
Kane to seek revenge on The Shield?
Also on tap for tonight, WWE fans will learn if Kane will seek revenge on The Shield.
As WWE Universe knows by now, The Shield's Roman Reigns speared Kane last week after the group ignored his instructions to beat up The Big Show.
Sheamus planning St. Patrick's Day surprise?
Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, which will be filmed in San Antonio, Texas, could also have a little Irish flair to it, as Sheamus is rumored to be planning a St. Patrick's Day surprise for the crowd on hand.
Sheamus is the WWE's most popular Irish superstar, and tonight's episode coincides with St. Patrick's Day. With that said, it makes perfect sense for Sheamus to bring a little Irish pride to the show.
The WWE hasn't yet revealed what Sheamus' St. Patrick's Day surprise will be, but fans will find out tonight for sure.
WWE Divas match?
Pretty much every episode of WWE Monday Night Raw features a divas match, and tonight should be no different.
However, the WWE hasn't made any official announcement as to which divas will be battling tonight. In all likelihood, it'll be Summer Rae and Emma.
Tonight's episode of "Raw" will probably also feature cameos from The Real Americans, and possibly even Big E.

We just keeled over and died a little after seeing this Alexander McQueen Black Cowl Neck Crepe Floor Length Dress ($3,545). Perhaps it is the model's death stare, maybe even the fantastic triple buckle belt or just possibly the to-die-for clutch this chick is toting but we are totally gasping for air over here. Whatever it is that has us flat lining, we want it all and we want it right now.

UGH. The school called on Wednesday to come and get the Little Man because he had a sore throat and a stomach ache. I took him to Urgent Care since his pediatrician would have been closed by the time we got there. Normally I wouldn't have reacted so quickly but we just got a letter home from school saying that strep was rampant so I figured I better be on the safe side. Strep test came back negative and the Doc said that it's just a virus. I knew I'd get it. We waited in the waiting room for 30 minutes (weird since we were the only ones there) and he was lying on me the whole time and breathing straight in my face.
So yesterday, I got it. My throat hurts, I'm achy, I've been awake since 3 AM. This doesn't bode well for me or for anyone else around me today. Luckily the boys are off of school today so I don't have to get out of my P.J.'s.
Oh and the Little Man is F.I.N.E. He's mended. It appears that his was a 24 hour sore throat virus. You know I won't be that lucky....
In other news, the Valentine's Day party at school went off without a hitch. The kids seemed to like the games and the Little Man made it through reaction free.
The Little Man makes his First Communion in May. Due to all his allergies, especially the wheat allergy, we are working with the priest to come up with a safe plan for him. There's no host that he can take, but he should be fine receiving the wine, he just needs his own cup. Taking the Blood of Christ from the communal cup would not be safe for him so that's what we have to work out. The priest is being very helpful so I don't anticipate any issues.
For a while there everyone kept saying "We offer a low gluten host". My response was always NO. He's not allergic to gluten, he's allergic to wheat and the host is still made with water and wheat starch. I confirmed this with our allergist on Tuesday when we were there. The allergist said it's still not safe because the proteins are present and he would still have a reaction. He also confirmed my insistence regarding getting the Little Man his own cup. Even though the possibility of a reaction would be remote, it could happen if there is back wash and particles from a host end up in the communal cup. These were things I pretty much already knew, hence my insistence of no low gluten host and getting him his own cup. But I wanted to to confirm all this with the allergist just to be sure that I wasn't being over protective.
As soon as the husband gets up for work, I'm heading back up to bed. It literally hurts to sleep but at least I can get all cozy under the covers. I just hope that the boys realize that mom is crabby and doesn't feel well and I hope they are on their best behavior. I mom can hope, right?
The story of our Catholic family: 1 tired mom, 1 hard working dad and 3 wonderful sons. Throw food allergies into the mix just to keep it extra interesting.

Sore Throat, No Sleep, Look Out Friday Here I Come

My face is all scrunchy thinking of backwash. EEEEEEEKKKKKK!
As for you, take much care of yourself girlie. We power out Vitamin C (2 in AM and 2 in PM) when we are ill. Seems to do the non-medicative trick.
Be well!
- Jane Anne said...
Communion is something I've been thinking about, too. I was thinking about that this week. Will we bring him his own bread? I'm just not sure how that will work out except that my son will refuse to do if he cannot be sure it is safe.
I hope you feel better soon.

It's done. Thank the Lord Jebus. Yeah, I know this post is long. But it's the last one, so shut it. If you want to give me a piece of your mind and tell me which lipstick you like the best, scroll to the bottom.
Although I've actually only been wearing one of the included lipsticks on a regular basis, I chose the top 10 to reveal to you. I selected finalists from the hordes of lipstick that swarmed my lips based on color and feel alone, then wore all of those for at least a day, and have brought you the cream of the red lipstick crop.
For those of you who are wondering what the heck this is: Basically the worst thing evarrrr* happened: Maybelline discontinued my favorite lipstick**. Start here, then see rounds 2, 3, 4, and 5 to catch up. (Yes, I went through A LOT of lipstick).
Here are the winners in no particular order:
1 Besame Red Velvet ($22) - I love Besame and I love the color. It can get a bit greasy and feather quickly though, and when eating or talking, the staying power is on the low side.
2 Illamasqua Maneater ($22) - I loved this and 'Box'; the full coverage and matte finishes are divine! But each time I tried a color, the lipstick broke. I don't want to buy something I can only wear twice.
3 Bobbi Brown Red #10 ($22) - A nice, traditional red that goes on smoothly. Plus, we like saying, "Bobbeh! Bobbeh!" in our crackhead Whitney voices around the office.
4 Dolce & Gabbana Scarlett ($30) - Goes on like a dream, y'all. A little pinky, but it made me feel like an O'Hara.
5 Giorgio Armani Rouge d'Armani #400 ($30) - I loved this lipstick. The color, the packaging, and the way it somehow knew where my lipstick should go. It was so easy to use.
6 Maybelline Red Revival ($5) - The least expensive, by far. It's a little greasy, to be sure, but still gives that glam movie star red.
7 Smashbox Double Take Crayon in Cranberry ($22) - a bit on the brown side close up, but looks redder from afar. Love the pencil and crayon combo, but I haven't sharpened it yet!
8 Sephora Rouge R05 ($12) - This color is so....red. It goes on smooth, but has a bit of a matte finish to it. I'd definitely buy it again.
9 Tarte Matte Lipsurgence Lip Stain in Fiery ($24) - this is the kind of thing I would wear when I'm feeling a little vulnerable. It's a bit pinker and fades over time. I can't see Rizzo wearing it.
10 Sephora Creamy Lip Stain #01-206220 ($12) - My favorite, by a mile. And all my girlfriends ooohed and aaahed over it. It's full coverage, matte, not a bear to take off, smells like vanilla, and it's only $12. Aaaaand, I'm wearing it now. ;)
Finally, if you're interested in one that I tested earlier, leave a comment and let me know. I'll tell you why it did or didn't make it to the finals, my opinion of it, and whether it's in my makeup bag right now. ;)
*Ok, Haiti and Egypt and our nation's budget are all more important than my lipstick. I can hear my Catholic schoolteachers in the back of my head.
**On another note, if you're wondering about the Mystery Contenders, #1 was my original lipstick that got "discontinued". It was actually taken off the shelf so that Maybelline could rework the formula, the packaging, and the applicator. I liked it at first, but ended up hating the new color, the new formula (it's clumpy on my lips!), and the applicator (my hand does NOT work that way!). #2 was a CoverGirl lipstain that one of our readers suggested...it was nice, but stickier than I expected, and not the look I was searching for.
----Oh, and the original pic (the one where I look relatively well-rested, albeit a bit tough)? Taken by Meggan Haller at Keyhole Photo during a photoshoot with my dog. Although Janetor did a bang-up job photographing me in the office, Meggan's skillz are just out of this world.
Ugh! I feel for you, it sucks when that happens. I have never found a replacement for my MAC silver eyeliner. None of these red lip colors quite match the original, but they do all look really nice on you.
Try E. Lauder's "Divine Wine!"
Before I read that it's your favorite of the bunch, I thought Sephora Creamy Lip Stain #01-206220 was the best.
Thanks! It's really gorgeous on. I might try to use a lip brush, though...I'm not in love with the applicator, but that's a small price to pay.
I like Sephora's Lip Stain 01. Thanks so much for this experiment! Now I have two lip colors in my make up bag! Amazing!
That IS amazing, Amber! I can't wait to see it on you!
These posts are making me seriously consider taking the plunge and finding my own red lip coloring. Hmm...
Do it, Tiffany!
A looooong time ago, I decided that I should learn how to walk in high heels (without tripping), put on red lipstick like a glamour goddess, and...something else I can't remember. But it was three things, I know for sure.
Aaaanyway, I mastered the first two, and I'm so glad I did. I personally wear red lipstick 90% of the time, but even if I didn't... I just feel like if I can maintain a red lip all the livelong day, I can do ANYTHING!
Number 8 looks good, but number 10 is stunning!! Looks wonderful with your skin tone!!!
Thanks, Rebecca and everyone else! You're making me (out)blush!
I thought you tried a red from the Arbonne line...I don't see it in the contender list. So, do tell..why didn't it make the cut?
#5 gets my vote!
Okay so I yesterday when I was at the MAC sales counter the lady sold me this beautiful long wear lip stick. Today I was looking at your picks and wanted to share mine with you since it looks a ton like the original. It is MAC Pro longwear Lipcreme in Extended Play! You should really try it out!

May 24, 2000
Cherry Hill, NJ - The Washington women's rowing team received its heat and lane assignments for the fourth NCAA Championships, set for May 26-28 on the Cooper River in Camden County. The Huskies, a No. 1 seed out of the west region, are aiming for a third NCAA team title after winning back-to-back championships in 1997 and `98.
Here is a look at Washington's lane assignments for heats beginning Friday, May 26. All times are eastern standard:
I Eights (lanes 0-6, left to right)
9:20 a.m. Heat 1 - Michigan, Wesleyan, Harvard*, Virginia*, Michigan State, Boston U.
9:40 a.m. Heat 2 - William Smith, Northeastern, WASHINGTON*, Princeton, Ohio State, Southern California 10:00 a.m. Heat 3 - Oregon State, UC-Davis, Brown*, California, Yale, Williams
(Top two finishers in each heat advance to semi-finals Saturday. All remaining crews progress to repechage heats Friday).
II Varsity
8:40 a.m. Heat 1 - Michigan State, Michigan, Brown*, WASHINGTON*, Harvard
9:00 a.m. Heat 2 - Boston U., California, Princeton*, Virginia*, Ohio State
(Top two finishers in each heat advance directly to finals Sunday. All remaining crews progress to repechage heats Saturday.)
Varsity Fours
8:00 a.m. Heat 1 - Michigan State, Ohio State, WASHINGTON*, Princeton, Michigan
8:20 a.m. Heat 2 - Boston U., Harvard, Virginia*, Brown*, California
(Top two finishers in each heat advance directly to finals Sunday. All remaining crews progress to repechage heats Saturday.)
*Seeded crews
Repechage heats=second chance
About the Championships: The NCAA Championships are comprised of 10 teams and each team is required to field a varsity eight, second varsity (junior varsity) and a varsity four. In addition, nine eight-woman boats from institutions not represented in the team competition are selected. Along with Washington, the following nine schools earned team invitations: defending champion Brown, Boston U., California, Harvard, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Princeton and Virginia. Among crews earning NCAA team bids, the Huskies have already faced California, Michigan, Michigan State and Virginia.
About the Huskies: Washington's women's crews have lost just one race this season - the JV grand final at San Diego - between the varsity, junior varsity, novice eights and fours. The JV loss in San Diego was to Virginia. After entering the season at No. 3 in the USRowing Coaches Poll, the varsity eight was the top ranked team in the nation since the first week of competition April 1-2, until last week.
Washington at the NCAA Championships: The Huskies captured the first two team titles, in 1997 and '98, when the sport first became sanctioned by the NCAA. The '97 crown was Washington's first NCAA team title in any sport. Last year, Washington finished third in the team standings, behind Brown and Virginia.
Defending Champs: Washington's varsity four enters the regatta as defending NCAA champions, having won a gold medal in the grand final on Lake Natoma in Sacramento, Calif. last year. The boat was made up entirely of novice rowers as it captured Washington's first title in that event since pre-NCAA days in 1987. It will be the same again this year, as the '00 novice women, who are undefeated, compete for the title.
Huskies Win ... Drop in Polls: On the heels of a convincing victory at the Pac-10 Championships May 14, the Husky varsity eight dropped a notch to No. 2 in the USRowing Collegiate Coaches Poll for May 17. Brown, the preseason top pick, moved back to the No. 1 slot. Following the San Diego Crew Classic April 2, the Huskies took over the No. 1 spot, where they remained until last week. The varsity eight has not lost a race this season.

Women's swimmer Rebecca Ejdervik has been named ASU's Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending March 27th. Her performance at the NCAA Championships, which included a fifth-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke, allowed her to receive All-American honors. "Rebecca stuck to the game-plan and came out with her best time," said Head Coach Tierney-Walker. "She was excited because not only was it her best time but that she had such a great performance at such a high level."
Sophomore Rebecca Ejdervik became head coach Dorsey Tierney-Walker's first ASU All-American last week. Ejdervik proved to be one of the nation's fastest breaststrokers as she finished fifth at the 2010 NCAA Championships in the 100-yard breaststroke. Her time of 59.90 is not only the sophomore's best time of her career, but it is also good enough for second on ASU's all-time list.

Angela Nydegger has nailed parenthood right on the head. I especially love the pictures of the mother with the baby on her hip. As if to say, "Get up and get ready! I've got better things to do here." She explains the "cowboy up" concept in a fun, entertaining way that children can understand. I also love the dramatic facial expressions the boy is pulling in the illustrations. I remember my children poking out their bottom lip while trying to look pathetic so they could get out of their responsibilities!" Dan E. Howard - Retired Special Education Teacher
I have been playing the piano since I was 7. Thanks to my amazing teacher, my grandmother, Helen Howard. I have to express my gratutude and love for her. "Thank you for believing in me and for always telling me I was special. I still love and miss you!" I have been writing songs since I was 13. I have now written around 40 songs and poems. I've gotten a lot of painful moments out in my writing, as well as shared my many joys. I hope that my songs and poems will entertain, uplift and inspire my friends and loved ones.

At some point in our lives, we move beyond candles in a jar with the sole purpose to make the house smell good and realize that we can use candles as a stylish decor accent. While a mason jar full of layered pastel wax may not be the centerpiece you're going for, this Solaris 5 Votive Wave Linear ($40) will do the trick nicely. The votives cast a soft glow and the base is much more interesting than if you were going to just set out tea lights. Look at you, you're an adult!

by Elie Wiesel
Night Family Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #19
"Silence over there!" barked the officer.
"Eliezer," continued my father, "water …"
The officer came closer and shouted to him to be silent. But my father did not hear. He continued to call me. The officer wielded his club and dealt him a violent blow to the head.
I didn't move. I was afraid, my body was afraid of another blow, this time to my head.
My father groaned once more, I heard:
"Eliezer …"
I could see that he was still breathing—in gasps. I didn't move.
When I came down from my bunk after roll call, I could see his lips trembling; he was murmuring something. I remained more than an hour leaning over him, looking at him, etching his bloody, broken face into my mind.
Then I had to go to sleep. I climbed into my bunk, above my father, who was still alive. The date was January 28, 1945. (8.94-102)
For Eliezer, his self-preservation instinct prevents him from attempting to protect his dying father. Despite this, Eliezer's father's last words are to call out Eliezer's name, indicating perhaps that the most important thing in his father's life and death is family.
Quote #20
I woke up at dawn on January 29. On my father's cot there lay another sick person. They must have taken him away before daybreak and taken him to the crematorium. Perhaps he was still breathing …
No prayers were said over his tomb. No candle lit in his memory. His last word had been my name. He had called out to me and I had not answered.
I did not week, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last! … (8.103-105)
The extreme situation that Eliezer is enduring has stripped him of much of his humanity and feelings of familial care. For Eliezer, it is horrifying but liberating to be free at last from the burden of keeping his father alive. Eliezer is now free to think only of himself and his own survival.

Leila Murray is a motel receptionist in a small Canadian town that is named after a muddy and fast-flowing creek: Suspicious River. Everything and everyone is waiting for a terrible and cold winter that will keep even the most dauntless indoors. But Leila spends her time wandering around in a flimsy dress as if she is challenging the cold, even if it does give her pneumonia. Leila's service to her quests goes further than checking in, for the price of a room, she offers herself too. Her lethargic husband has no idea; she hides the money she earns. She is saving it up, but she doesn't know what for. Until one day the attractive and helpful Gary stops at the motel. Leila is instantly infatuated with him, despite his dominant character. When he suggests they leave together, Leila thinks she has found a way out of her aimless life and will be able to chase after dreams she might not even cherish.

Across a few different conferences I've met some folks face-to-face that impressed me. Here's a shout out to some of these folks... I hope our paths cross again soon.
Mark A. Smith is the founder of Mikonoclast, LLC. Mark's idea is all about connecting people through personal icons or Mikons that you can create, share, wear, etc. Look for Mikons at SXSW this year.
Denise Wilton is the lead designer for Moo, a UK-based business that prints mini business/contact cards from your Flickr photos. I'm about to order some myself.
Jake McKee and I have been online friends for a long time and finally met in person, so he makes the list. He's the Lead Samurai at Big in Japan and an all-around great guy.
Steven Reading is a co-founder of Dogster/Catster, social networking for pets. I enjoyed meeting he and Ted Rheingold at Community Next - a great example of how a good idea and passion can turn into a successful business.
Jefferey Keefer has been a Common Craft reader for a long while it was great to meet him in Vancouver, far from his New York City home and work at NYU. Jeffrey blogs at SilenceandVoice. Check it out: he sat next to Evander Holyfield on the flight home from Northern Voice.
Ian MacKenzie is a brother in travel. I met him after my talk at Northern Voice and we hung out throughout the event. He and his wife have put together a couple of travel community sites: TravelBlogger.net and BraveNewTraveler.com.
Randy Stewart of Stewtopia is a fellow Seattleite, blogger and someone with which I hope to hang out here in Seattle.
John Bollwitt is a podcaster in Vancouver at Radiozoom.net. He reminds me a lot of Chris Pirillo and they are both from Iowa. Separated at birth? I doubt it. We had a great time over lunch.
Brad Gibson is another Canadian podcaster at CurrentThinkingRadio.com. Brad struck me as a very thoughtful and interesting guy. We spent a little time together talking about travel and racing in the presence of a microphone.
Bryan Zug is another Seattle-based blogger and e-learning consultant/developer at Flathatter and a person that I'd like to know more. He blogs at eLearning Skinny.
Warwick Patterson is Canadian photographer, video producer and adventure seeker. He's into things like motorcycle rally racing and may be going to Mongolia sometime soon to video and photograph his participation in a motocycle rally for Formula Photographic. Very cool. He's also one of the folks behind This City Rocks.
Todd Smith and Stephanie Co are also our brothers and sisters in travel. They are about to take an extended trip to Asia that will focus on "Portraits of Asia," a study of culture, cuisine, and commodity. Check out their blog here.
Chris Heuer is a person that I've heard about since our return, but hadn't met. I was impressed with Chris' wamth and thoughtfulness. He seems to be a great guys with a lot of ideas. Check out Social Media Club and Brain Jams.
Eric Eggertson of Mutually Inclusive PR is someone whom I've wanted to meet for years now. We have been communicating via blog comments and flickr photos for a long time. It was great to meet him and I wish we had more time to connect.
Anil Dash of Six Apart keynoted the Northern Voice conference and I had the chance to hang out with him for a while. I find Anil to be very accomplished, insightful and smart, but more than that, one of the most quick-witted people I've met.
Michael Klassen of Thinking Cap is someone that I enjoyed connecting with years ago and was happy to see again at Northern Voice.
I'm sure that as soon as I click "publish" my brain will be filled with all the folks I should have mentioned. It's not personal.

The Italian - Italianetz
|Kolya Spiridonov
|Olga Shuvalova
|Denis Moiseenko
|Yuri Itskov
|Directed by
|Andrei Kravchuk
|Rated PG-13
|99 minutes
What I am doing as I write this, and what you are doing as you read it, reflect the secret that lies at the heart of Andrei Kravchuk?s deeply affecting The Italian. This film is about many things, but the magic key that unlocks the treasure chest is literacy.
The Italian is the story of a 6-year-old boy in a Dickensian provincial Russian orphanage who decides he needs to find his real mother. To equip himself to do so, he must learn to read. Without that power, he would not be able to access and decipher his orphanage file, much less negotiate the daunting solo journey upon which the information in that file will set him.
And if this sounds far-fetched, consider that it is based on a true story. The screenwriter, Andrei Romanov, came upon the account in a Russian newspaper. He suggested the story to Kravchuk, who had approached him about doing a movie on the desperate lives of the increasing number of homeless boys scrabbling for survival in the streets of Russia?s cities.
As the two developed the story for their screen version, little Vanya (Kolya Spiridonov) is chosen for adoption by an Italian couple who come to the orphanage. The transaction is brokered by a hard-boiled, fully-packed blonde dynamo known only as Madam (Mariya Kuznetsova), a professional procurer of orphans for well-heeled Westerners (does her name suggest another line of work?) A considerable amount of money, about 5,000 Euros, changes hands. (?You know how much they make on us?? one of the boys whispers as they watch, noses pressed to windows. ?When Alesha was adopted, the Director was drunk for a week!?). The other orphans look on enviously as Vanya is chosen; to be adopted by this foreign couple, to leave the bleak orphanage in frozen Russia for a family in sunny Italy is like winning the lottery. With derisive irony, they start referring to Vanya as ?The Italian.?
But there?s red tape to be processed, and a couple of months to wait, before the Italian couple can take possession of their new son. During that time a young mother comes to the orphanage hoping to reclaim her child. She is vilified, and told that the boy has already been adopted. They send her away. Vanya encounters her at a bus stop, where he sits with her and hears her story of anguish and regret. When a short time later the news spreads that the woman has committed suicide in classic Russian style by throwing herself under a train, Vanya starts wondering about his own mother, and what would happen if she were to come to the orphanage to try to get him back. To the consternation of his fellow orphans, he decides to give up the opportunity to become an Italian, and run away to find her and reclaim his real identity.
He persuades an older orphan, the good-hearted teenage hooker Irka (Olga Shuvalova), to teach him to read, then breaks into the Director?s office to steal his file. With a little help from Irka he sets off on his perilous and hopeless-seeming odyssey, with his most precious possession, his copy of Kipling?s The Jungle Book, tucked tightly under his arm. It?s a jungle out there.
There?s a fairy-tale quality to this story, and a strong flavor of knight-errant fable as well. There are plucky orphans, ogres and monsters, unexpected allies, and the dreaming of impossible dreams. But it?s also a hard-eyed look at modern Russia. This is Kravchuk?s first feature, but he?s a veteran of the documentary discipline. In the opening scene of this movie, as Madam and the Italian couple are motoring across the pale, wintry, sunless landscape of provincial western Russia, the car runs out of gas. Children are summoned from the nearby orphanage to push it the rest of the way. The institution is run on cold, calculating capitalist principles by Madam, with the help of the Director (Yuri Itskov), a failed, petty drunkard. But there is a collective being run below-stairs, Soviet-style, by the older boys. Kolyan (Denis Moiseenko), the capo of the boiler room mafia, assigns each according to his or her ability to do such jobs as turning tricks or washing windshields, with orders to return all earnings to the collective, where they will be appropriated by each according to his or her ability.
The acting is all solid. The kids, many of whom in the smaller roles are non-professionals and real orphans, are wonderful, but it is little Kolya Spiridonov, a child actor with a film or two in his r?sum?, who makes the difference. Solemn, observant, and utterly believable, he holds our emotional attention and helps carry us past a few soggier moments toward the latter part of the film.
Kravchuk is a professed fan of Italian Neo-Realism, and The Bicycle Thief in particular, and it?s not hard to see that shared sense of appreciation of the world of children as a microcosm and a reflection of the ills, challenges, and hopes of a society at large.

The year is 2010; it's a new decade for a new you, and men's fashion is changing rapidly. The once distinct lines of casual and formal wear are being blurred and the wardrobe for the average man is expanding, providing gentlemen with more options and style preferences than ever before. As the fashion knowledge of the average gentleman increases, one must remember that each new season comes with "Must Haves." These "Must Haves" are generally fashion trends directly from the runways of Milan, New York, and other fashion icon cities, trends that every gentleman should be aware of.
This spring, the "Must Have" every man should own, is the Cotton Suit. Cotton is a naturally a light fabric, it breathes easily and is perfect for warm weather. The Cotton Suit is a versatile necessity for every man. For formal events, the Cotton Suit can be worn buttoned up, with a dark dress shirt and matching satin tie. For casual events, leave the jacket unbuttoned and wear a simple white dress shirt, with the first two buttons unbuttoned. This will provide a sense of comfort and casualness while maintaining a classy and vintage look.
Cotton Suits are usually less expensive and are tailored to fit better. For an athletic build, this fitted suit will complement your figure, showing off your physique, and for heavier gentleman, the Cotton Suit will give you the appearance of a more slender and toned body. When buying dress shirts for your Cotton Suit, always buy at least one white one, and one striped one. With stripped dress shirts, always make sure the stripes are vertical and thin, this is always more formal than horizontal stripes, and will automatically slender any heavyset man.

Tech Ends Final Home Indoor Meet on High Note
Kelly Closse's NCAA automatic qualifying toss of 70' 9.00" set a new indoor school record.
Feb. 4, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas -The Texas Tech track and field squad competed in its final home indoor meet of the season Saturday inside the Athletic Training Center, and put on a show while doing so.
Tech saw six athletes garner first-place finishes during the single-day event along with a handful of personal records.
Texas Tech senior All-American Kelly Closse won the weight throw competition with an NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 70'-9.00", a mark she set on her third attempt of the day. With the throw, she broke the school record, one she set just two weeks ago, while also breaking the Athletic Training Center record.
"I can really focus on my technique now," Closse said. "It's like a huge barrier just fell. Now I can see beyond that, and what I am capable of."
Closse later added to her successful day by winning the shot put competition with a throw of 53'-1.00".
"Kelly has improved on pace with what we thought she would do this year," throws coach Cliff Felkins said. "If we can get another meter before the national meet, then she is in position to place really high, and maybe have an outside chance to win it. I'm happy that she finally got a really good throw off. That, technically, was a very good throw."
The Red Raiders had an impressive showing in the men's pole vault as well.
Sophomore Kyal Meyers set a personal record by clearing 17'-7.75" and winning the event. Meyers' vault currently ranks seventh in the country after Saturday's action.
"He's not done yet," associate head coach Rock Light said. "He's got more to go."
Meanwhile, both junior Boston Spiva and senior Nick Green set indoor personal records during the competition. Spiva cleared a bar at 16'-4.00", while Green cleared the bar at 14'-1.00".
In the preliminary round of the women's 55mH, senior Roxie Greve ran a season-best time of 8.28, besting her time of 8.39 which she ran twice during the Texas Tech Open on Jan. 21.
In the men's weight throw, Tech captured two of the top three marks, led by Kole Weldon who won the event with a toss of 56' 5.25". Weldon was followed by freshman teammate Killian Barry who finished third with a toss of 54' 1.75". Weldon's toss was a season-best, and marked his first win of the season.
To conclude the action on the men's side, freshman high jumper Jacorian Duffield had the best performance of his young career by clearing the bar at 7'-1.50" to set an indoor personal best.
Tech also had an impressive showing in the women's 800 meter run, grabbing two of the top three spots in the race. Junior Caitlin Waters won the race with a time of 2:17.02, while teammate, sophomore Rachel Folan, followed in third place with a time of 2:19.81.
"It was a good effort by both of them," assistant coach Jon Murray said. "They went in there and competed well, and I thought it was a very successful run."
The Texas Tech track and field team will return to action next weekend when the squad sends athletes to both the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Ark., as well as the UNM Don Kirby Collegiate Elite in Albuquerque, N.M.

They can't just go hire a "recruiter" who doesn't know how to coach. Good recruiters quickly become bad recruiters if players see they can't teach the game.
So here's the answer: Hire Bruiser Flint. I thought Flint was the right guy last time - and still do. He'll get players from Philly and New York, and he'll make them better. My bet is this won't happen since Bruiser hasn't gotten Drexel to the tournament - which seems to be the prerequisite for moving up - but he's perfect for this job. Sure, Penn State can go after a hot coach, but Virginia Commonwealth's Shaka Smart is too hot, for instance, to settle for Penn State. Bruiser would have to go for it and is just as good a coach, with important state-school experience at UMass.

For a few hours now I've been unable to properly load my Facebook News Feed, but it looks like I'm not the only one. My Facebook News Feed - when it loads - has a few people complaining about it.
The problem - for me at least - is a two-parter. First, if my News Feed loads, I can pull down around 4-5 status updates from friends or pages I've 'liked'. If not, my News Feed doesn't appear at all, with blank placeholders in the News Feeds place. There are also users reporting an error that says "No content in this feed" on mobile.
The problem appears to be fixed for some, for myself, and many others, the problem seems to still persist - hopefully for now.

A group of protesters against a proposed iron mine to be located near Upson, Wis., gather on the lawn of the visitors center on U.S. 51 in Hurley Saturday. They listened to a speech by fellow protester Robert Menard before heading downtown Hurley to assemble near the office of Gogebic Taconite. Several of the 15 or so protesters work masks of woodland animals.
HURLEY — A small group of folks, some wearing masks of woodland animals, gathered Saturday in Hurley to protest a proposed iron mine near Upson, Wis.
Robert Menard of Ashland, Wis ., spoke to the group of around 15 at the visitor's center, warning them of the dangers of continuing an industrial society. The group then headed downtown to the offices of Gogebic Taconite.
G-Tac is conducting exploratory drilling at the site along the Iron and Ashland county line near Wisconin 77.
Menard, former undersheriff in Ashland County, said G-Tac's proposed mine is just a very small part of what's going on all over the world that continues to endanger the Earth. "It's a last, desperate gasp to support an unsustainable lifestyle," he said. "The industrial society is in its last days."
Menard compared the proposed mining by G-Tac to the mining in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. Hurley will be downwind from the blasting, Menard said, and toxins and dust will cause an extreme increase in disease like in West Virginia.
Katie Perttunen/Daily Globe Former undersheriff of Ashland County Robert Menard tells protesters about the dangers of open pit mining in Hurley on Saturday.
In third world countries, mining protestors just disappear, said Menard. "We're here to protect everybody."
Sharon Homernik of Janesville, Wis ., joined the protestors on Silver Street.
"Are the people here aware that Gogebic Taconite has never done this kind of mining before?" Homernik asked. "Do they know that the blasting will be done right next to a fault line that runs through Copper Falls State Park? To do something like this is a very dangerous experiment. If you abuse mother earth in this way, she will respond."
When protestors marched downtown, chanting, "Protect the hills, stop the drills;" they were greeted by locals who were none to happy to see them.
A sign outside one Silver Street tavern read, "No public bathrooms: go pee in the woods you tree hugging b******s."
"Regular working people like us need good jobs," said Scott Salo, protesting the protestors.

I am a:
Former gymnast who's still obsessed with the sport (as implied by my name)
Leotard fanatic (for males and females both)
One-time ballet dancer who tried it and sucked so bad she doesn't have the right to call herself "ballerina"
Aspiring artist who can't draw worth shit
"Antisocial nonconformist contrarian" who hates to admit that she's just like everyone else
One-piece swimsuit enthusiast (because God knows I don't look good in a bikini)
Straight woman who likes male crossdressers (but only hot ones)
Occasional weird fetish conniesseur (is that how you spell that word?)
D&D fanatic (are there any non-fanatical D&D players?
I make childish artwork in MS paint. Or made--before the computer that stored all my childish scribbles died. Sigh......
RIP--The Computer that Jennifer stored all her work on
I'm one of this people with weird fetishes that only exist online and can't survive on their own in any sort of natural environment. Half the stuff I like should get me institutionalized. The other half should also get me institutionalized, but I'm safe because the other half is stuff that people other than me like as well.
In case you're wondering about some of the stuff in my favorites, I'm not entirely straight. The closest I could come is bi......ish. I like hot girls (as evidenced by the fact that they make up 99.9% of my favorites on dA ) but so far I've only fallen in LOVE with guys. So yeah. But chicks' boobs and butts all the way.
I also occasionally favorite large quantities of lesbian My Little Pony fanart. Don't judge.
If you can take the time to leave a favorite, please, please, please take the time to leave a comment as well. I love to hear what you guys have to say and I can't do that if you don't comment!
(I've only got 5 deviations up at the moment, it's not like you've got much to choose from)
Thanks! It means a lot to me.
If, for some reason, you ever wanna send me an email, shoot it on over to email@example.com. (Who uses Lycos anymore, amiright? )
Also, you know that "thanks for the favorite" shiz? Where you go to someone who favorited your work's page and say "Thanks for faving"? Yeah. I don't do that. I'm waaaaaaay to lazy to comment the same thing on 20 different people's page. Assume that I unless I say otherwise, I am ALWAYS grateful to you for faving. Thankies!

Whitney Houston: Dead at 48
Posted by Native NYker in drugs, rip, whitney houston on February 11, 2012
This is truly a sad ending to a long and drawn out public downward spiral. One time pop sensation Whitney Houston has been found dead at the Beverly Hilton Hotel by her bodyguard this afternoon, state Beverly Hills Police.
Last photo of the troubled singer, taken this past Thursday as she exited Tru night club in Hollywood, depict her looking like a ripe mess albeit alive.
Although the world knew that the one time voice which belted out of the Clive Davis creation was gone and nothing but a memory, her expected return to the big screen in "Sparkle," opposite Jordan Sparks and Mike Epps, was highly anticipated.
Ironically the upcoming film deals with fame and drugs.
The loss of Whitney Houston comes on the tail end of her fans having already mourned the loss of one of the greatest and most impactful voices of our time.
Her recordings will stand tantamount to her one-time vocal prowess and her life will be a cautionary tale of the hazards of uncontrolled drug use.
RIP Whitney.
We will leave y'all to mourn in your own fashion and share these two videos, showing two very different Whitney.

Whitney's Alleged Comeback Imminent
Posted by Native NYker in clive davis, comeback, drugs, gma, pre-grammy, whitney houston on February 9, 2009
I love Whitney! She is legendary – and the drug use only adds to the mystic! Survivor! But I still want to see a video of this said performance. I want the proof!
Hurry up girl, I'm ready! Give it to me, I want it – NOW!
This has been the longest comeback in the making of all times!
Update: So there is a YouTube video. Here it is. Draw your own conclusions on her successful return… I'm on the fence on this one!

Why Stop Now Movie Reviews
User reviews on Why Stop Now
I did not really like this film and I am sad to say that because i was really hoping that it will be good. This film was trying too hard and it was almost uncomfortable to watch. It is a shame that the film does not work because the story is good and the characters are fun and they are well played by a wonderful cast but something just does not click. I think the main problem of this film is that it has absolutely no purpose and it was jumping in between two different genres. Overall, I think this film is better off watched at the comfort of your house.

Even Federal-Appeals Courts Are Over the Winklevii's Facebook Suit
Denied a chance to appeal. Again.
A federal-appeals court declined to review a challenge from Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss over their $65 million settlement with Facebook. Without comment today, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which already ruled last month that the Winklevii can't undo the settlement, refused to have an 11-judge panel review the case (again). Don't breathe easy just yet, Mark Zuckerberg. The litigious Ken dolls still have two cards up their well-tailored sleeves: plans for a legal challenge in Boston over whether Facebook and its lawyers concealed instant messages during the trial and — if that doesn't work out — there's always the Supreme Court.

This is my 1st blog. I got on this sight to get some advice on which guitar to get. I've picked out the Taylor 814ce model, but the cost is a bit steep. Decent used 814's seem to go for around $2k. I've found a 2008, 426ceLTD, all Tasmanin Blackwood, (beautiful guitar) I can pick up for $1300, but I'm wondering if it will have the same playability of an 814. I'm mostly a strummer, with small hands, and want a guitar that's easy to play. Any advice out there?
Views: 37
You could save a few dollars going with the GA8 without electronics or even more going to the GA4 or even the 414ce with which you'll still get all solid wood back and sides. Taylors are known for their playability and they'll all sound pretty sweet (if that's what you're looking for). All of their necks are the same except for maybe the 100 and 200 series having slightly narrower nut width, which are also worth a look but they have laminated backs and sides. I wouldn't commit to a guitar with very exotic woods without playing it. If it has the tone you're looking for and it feels right that would be a pretty good deal.

With the recent entrance of so-called "smart guns" into the market (although that entrance was short-lived and rather disastrous), it is worthwhile to remember that back in the days when this technology was a fantasy, rather than the failure-ridden reality to which it has now advanced, one of the selling points was that police work could be made much safer, by greatly reducing (perhaps to zero?) the number of officers killed by suspects wrestling their guns away from them and killing them.
So way back in 2008, rabid forcible citizen disarmament advocate John Rosenthal, founder of "Stop Handgun Violence," argued in the Huffington Post that "smart guns" would save the 17% of officers killed in the line of duty by suspects using the officers' guns after wresting them away:
It could also help save the lives of the 17% of police officers killed in the line of duty by a criminal accessing the officer's gun.
Actually, he is still arguing that (again in the Huffington Post), although he is claiming a far more modest 4% figure:
As if those were not reasons enough, personalized gun technology could also prevent officers being shot in the line of duty by their own gun, which accounts for about 4% of officer homicides.
A problem that Rosenthal appears unwilling to address is that cops don't want the "safety" he is trying to bestow upon them. In fact, in New Jersey--the only jurisdiction so far to have passed a law mandating them--the "Only Ones" are specifically exempted from the "smart gun" mandate, presumably because the bill would not have passed in the face of police organizations' inevitable resistance to being forced to trust their lives to such gadgetry.
Actually, we have seen that officers resist even the far less intrusive, far more reliable magazine disconnect "safety feature," simply because it makes for a heavier trigger pull, and thus less accuracy.
Wednesday, a United Press International article went into some detail about the reasoning behind police resistance to the "smart gun" requirement. The article, which points out that officers are shot with their own guns sufficiently frequently that police body armor standards require that the vest can stop the duty rounds used by that department, still makes clear that the police are very skeptical:
For police, [FOP Washington advocacy center executive director James] Pasco believes the biggest weakness with electronic guns is reliability. Sensors and fingerprint readers need to work even when covered in sweat, dirt, or blood -- and once the weapon is picked up and ready to be fired, it needs to work no matter the situation.
And then Pasco makes a truly startling statement (emphasis added):
"In a combat situation, a shooting situation, there's real confusion and chaos. It's not like TV," Pasco said. "Often times they're very close quarters. We want a police officer to be able to take any gun, his partner's gun, a criminal's gun, any gun, and use that gun to his advantage. If he is in a scuffle, and he gets a criminal's weapon and it's useless to him, we've got a safety problem."
Yep--apparently the Fraternal Order of Police don't want to take the risk that the criminal's gun won't work, in case the officer gets it away from him and needs to use it.
If police are endangered by a requirement to carry "smart guns," and they are endangered by criminals carrying them, just who is it that should be required to use them?
The obvious answer is nobody.

I use
iTerm2 as my terminal client in Mac OS X. On the local system I can use
pbcopy and
pbpaste to transfer data between the system clipboard and the terminal, but of course this doesn't work when you're ssh'ed to another machine.
Is there some way which I can take the result of a command and copy it to the clipboard automatically? Perhaps an applescript to grab the text on the
iTerm windows, then get the next to last line?
For instance, if I wanted to copy the current working directory:
I run
pwd, then use the mouse to select the text, and then press
command + c.
Is there any better / faster / automatic way of doing this? I'm not looking for a bulletproof solution that would work for every command (eg: might not work when there is a huge scrollback) - I'm just looking for something to make this task that I do quite often a little less tedious.
I'm looking into using
screen to do this, but I'm still not sure if it is possible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shea752 Apple Cider Herbal Tea - It is What It Is This may be my shortest tea review ever. This is an apple cider herbal tea. It has the sweetness and taste of apples, the spices of a cider (and some), and NO CAFFEINE OR CALORIES of an herbal tea. It is perfect fall/winter night indulgence. My only complaint is that it is sold in pack of 36 instead of 50 like the other fall flavors. September 28, 2014

A vote cast in favor of Proposal 6 is a vote to turn a blind eye to the reprehensible delaying tactics of the current bridge owners in their bid to keep a stranglehold on the Detroit/Windsor border crossing via the crumbling Ambassador Bridge. A new bridge has been needed for quite some time and would bring a sharp boost to the economies of Detroit, the State of Michigan, the Province of Ontario and all surrounding areas and trading partners.
Let's stop lining the obscenely bulging coffers of the owners of the Ambassador Bridge and their bloated ticks in Lansing and construct a new, better border crossing to benefit whom it should -- the citizens of Michigan and Ontario.
Vote down Prop 6 and help turn us all toward a new direction.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE EXCLUSIVE) – Gregg Leakes' first wife and his five kids from his initial marriage are the subject of I Dream of NeNe's premiere tonight. But who is Gregg Leakes' first wife, and who are his first five kids? LALATE can report that the conflict in tonight's episode is very real and stems from 2011 news interviews. A least one of Gregg's first kids from his prior marriage reached out to the news in fall of 2011 and had nothing good to say about NeNe as her divorce with Gregg was about to unfold, LALATE can report.
Tonight NeNe tell news that "I feel like his children have always been against me. They make me feel like I had something to do with Gregg and their mom breaking up."
NeNe tells Gregg tonight that "you never did anything to bring us together. I don't know if they are issues as to why he is keeping his kids separate. I don't know why." NeNe further adds that her son with Gregg has no relationship with Gregg's sons from his prior marriage.
Gregg disagrees. "I feel for the hurt for what she feels. I don't agree with her. I know the other side. She doesn't."
NeNe has every reason to ask Gregg to fix the issues between her and his sons. LALATE can report that, in 2011, RHOA fans were unsure if Gregg and NeNe were divorcing. But at least one of Gregg's sons from his prior marriage was telling news reporters that divorce attorneys had been hired in advance of litigation.
One of Gregg's sons at the time accused NeNe of allegedly fighting to get the Leakes home and move on without Gregg, while Gregg's children were allegedly urging him to get $300,000 back from NeNe he claimed he used to launch her RHOA career.
So how did NeNe and Gregg meet? During that same interview, the son claimed that Gregg met NeNe shortly after his first divorce while she was dancing. The son further claimed that as Gregg and NeNe fell in love Greggs' youngest kids were forced to go live with their mother.

A Birth in Bali
Stephanie Elizondo Griest, editor of The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010: True Stories from Around the World, grew up in a family of courageous travelers, all of them male. She yearned to tell stories of incredible adventure but lacked female inspiration. It was not until Griest's senior year in high school that she began to believe being a female world traveler was possible and within reach.
With thirty countries and all but three of the United States under her belt, Griest wants more. Travelers' Tales publishes an annual collection of women's travel writing as proof that we can do it. This anthology features women who have dared to climb up a volcano in the Ecuadorian wilderness, witnessed the birth of a child in Bali, and made
personal discoveries of life and love.
"If you want to fall in love with the world, really fall in love with it, watch a birth," said Liz Sinclair, author of Bali Birth. Liz moves to Indonesia, where she volunteers at a birth center for poor families. After a night out on the island, she is summoned to witness the "gentle birth" of a baby.
Reluctant and unsure if she would be intruding upon such an event, Robin, a midwife, reassures her that the woman in labor would not mind. Expectations of a quick and easy delivery are not realized when the birth becomes a long and arduous process. The woman is fully dilated but refuses to push the baby out.
Soon-to-be mother and father are scared, but their emotions are in stark contrast of each other. The woman's screams are of extreme pain and worry. The husband sits silently, eyes wide, unsure of what to do. Robin's patience begins to wear thin. Immediate action must be taken. She tells the woman that she will have to go to the hospital if she does not push the baby out. The woman would rather die than go. It is decided that a water birth will help to relax her. It is a success. A baby boy is born. It is learned that during the birth of her first child at a hospital, the woman was hit to make her be quiet in labor. She was frightened that Robin would do the same.
Excerpt from Bali Birth, in the new anthology The Best Women's Travel Writing 2010
The woman was on a bed, half sitting, half laying, moaning. She was naked. Her skin was dark for a Balinese, sun-darkened by outdoor work. She had huge globe-like breasts that hung pendulously across her great moon belly. A pregnancy band, a band of darker pigment, stretched across her belly. Her hair was long, matted to her neck with sweat in the hot, still air of the birth room. A lone fan turning lazily high up on the ceiling did little to dispel the tropical heat.
The smell of birth
The woman was growing increasingly agitated. Her moaning was turning to a kind of guttural screaming, which made something in the lower vicinity of my gut tremble. The woman was thrashing on the bed, knocking her husband as he tried to stroke her arms to comfort her. Robin was looking very solemn. Every time she spoke to the laboring woman, the woman would cry and moan louder.
She was covered in a sheen of sweat that glistened in the glare of the overhead light. There was a strong smell in the room, like a mixture of every type of odor the body could emit, earthy and musky, combined with an antiseptic tang of amniotic fluid. This was the smell of birth, the second midwife explained.
The staff directed the husband to sit at the edge of the tub, behind his wife. His legs dangled awkwardly into the tub. Finally, he squatted on the edge, looking uncomfortable, holding his wife's shoulders tentatively. The laboring woman sank back into the tub, into the water. Her body seemed to lose some of its tension. The second midwife began to scoop warm water over the woman's breast and belly with a blue plastic pail. Robin talked steadily with the woman, keeping one hand on the woman's knee.
Soon, the woman was nodding. She was visibly relaxing. Suddenly, a spasm passed over her, she leaned forward and cried out, one hand going to her belly. Robin leaned forward, peering into the space between the woman's legs.
She spoke more urgently as the woman made short, high sounds through her nose. Another spasm gripped the woman and again she cried out, leaning forward. Robin parted her legs, and her right hand seemed to be cupping something between the woman's legs. The staff began to intone a low chant, a Hindu song for welcoming new life into the world. Unaccounted tears sprang into my eyes.
New life
I crept over to the bed to look at the baby. His face was still read and wrinkled. His mother was touching him softly, as if she couldn't yet believe he was real. The father kept grinning as he patted his wife. The woman looked up at me, directly at me, and smiled. It was a smile that defied the reality of her hardscrabble life—a smile full of pride, of joy. Tonight, she wasn't one of Bali's poor, who toiled in the rice fields and never quite had enough to eat. Tonight, she was a victorious heroine who had overcome a great struggle. Tonight, she was beautiful.

Even as a little girl I was never a big fan of pink. I tend to wear mostly blues, greens, and probably way too much black and gray. But on October 1, before leaving for work, I pulled out a pretty beaded pink bracelet and put it on my wrist. I also put on a new pair of pink earrings. And I've done the same thing each morning since then. Because once again, it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm not wearing pink just to support the cause and heighten general awareness, because really, I doubt if anyone has even noticed my pink jewelry. I'm doing it to remind myself of just how far I've come over the last 12 years, and how very lucky I am to be a 12-year breast cancer survivor.

Museum lights
Here are two facts about me: I like modern art, and I suffer from migraines. The day before yesterday, I visited the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, where there's a huge new wing for modern art built underneath the garden, two stories below. The ceiling is huge, and there are glassy domes in it which you can see from the outside, too. At first you think that they are used to let in some daylight, but once inside, you realise that they are some sort of neon lamps. And the light they emit is utterly weird. Continue reading

Dress in Blue Day, Friday, March 2
Will you wear something blue tomorrow? If not a whole outfit, perhaps a blue blouse, a pair of blue earrings or a blue bracelet? Why, you ask? Because Friday, March 2 is the Colon Cancer Alliance's annual Dress in Blue Day, designed to raise awareness for colon cancer. It's also a major kickoff for National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month during March.
In Search of a Few Good Salmon Recipes
For years the health benefits of salmon have been touted in the media. As a source of Omega-3 fatty acids – one of the good fats – salmon's health benefits also have been widely researched. Chief among the advantages is lowering one's risk of heart disease. Although some other fish are also high in Omega-3 fatty acids (including mackerel, herring, and sardines), salmon seems to be most frequently mentioned. The American Heart Association currently recommends that adults try to incorporate two or more servings a week of one of these fish into their diet. Continue reading
Think Pink, But Don't Forget the Other Colors
Today marks the start of breast cancer awareness month. Over the next month we'll see a flood of media information reminding women to have mammograms. We will also be asked to participate in a variety of events, donate money for breast cancer research, and spread the word about the disease. As a now 12-year survivor of breast cancer, I can only say that this is a very good thing.
I was "lucky" enough to be diagnosed with breast cancer at a time when early diagnosis was possible, when there were many treatment options available, and when women and men were willing to talk openly about the disease and offer help and support to breast cancer survivors. This is a good thing. It wasn't always the case. Continue reading
Good things to come out of a cold
I've got this nasty cold – started with a headache last Thursday, turned into a cough on Sunday, and has saddled me with an extremely runny nose today. While the cold's disadvantages are obvious (feel bad, get no housework done, husband has escaped to the guest bedroom, can't go to the gym), right now I am trying to be upbeat and see its advantages.

Tis the Season to be ……..Sneezing?
Each year, as November rolls around, I enter my danger period for colds, and respiratory infections. I suspect it's a mix of things that makes me vulnerable. In addition to having lots of extra things to do with the holidays, it's always a busy time for me at work, meaning I sleep less than usual, and get pretty run-down. Add into the mix the sudden cold temperatures, being exposed to lots of other people who seem to be sick, and before you know it, I'm sniffling.
Over the years, I've adopted a number of preventive behaviors in an attempt to ward off illness. Some have passed by the wayside, but others have been added to my daily routine. After years of doctors' encouragements, I now get a flu shot every year (which absolutely will not prevent colds or sinus infections, but hopefully will fight off the flu). Continue reading
The One We Don't Like to Talk About
Regular readers at AAR AfterHours have probably seen my yearly health nags about mammograms, and may now know that I'm a breast cancer survivor. It's something I've been very open about, and something my friends — both online and in real life — have openly talked about with me.
But with the exception of my fellow AAR staff members, most people here don't know that one year ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My experience with colon cancer has been completely different from breast cancer. While friends and colleagues talked frequently about my breast cancer,offered support and encouragement, I've found in the past year that most people just don't want to talk about colon cancer, really don't want to think about it. Well shoot, I never wanted to talk about it before I got it either. Continue reading
Yearly Health Nag
Long-time visitors to AAR After Hours may know what's coming. Yes, it's time for my yearly health nag about mammograms.
This past week, I went in for my yearly diagnostic mammogram, which marked my hitting the 10-year mark as a breast cancer survivor, which is a pretty big deal as far as I'm concerned.
Once again, I went through the usual worries and stress as the day for my mammogram got closer. And once again, I felt unbelievable relief and joy when the radiologist called me in after she examined the pictures to tell me that everything was fine, and I didn't need to come back for another year.

Access Control: Scan and Validate Tickets without the Internet
SimpleTix is a professional e-ticketing service provider and valued client. They recently published an excellent video showing how to use their platform with codeREADr to validate tickets when Internet connectivity is unstable.
What's special is that SimpleTix makes ticket databases readily available to their customers. In the video they give simple and clear instructions on how to modify that database for uploading to codeREADr's servers. When uploaded, the database is then available for downloading to codeREADr's iOS and Android apps for on-site validation without Internet connectivity – we call it 'on-device' (offline) validation.
In this way SimpleTix customers can choose online validation – a standard SimpleTix offering – and now offline validation (or both).
After 5 years of supporting access control for over 100,000+events, we learned that clients should not assume there will be stable Internet access at the event's actual point of entry. We advise to verify connectivity before the event and, if it only has 3G/4G network connectivity, consider what could happen when a large crowd of smartphone-toting attendees arrive.
If an app user is using an online service and connectivity becomes unstable, the app will save the scans on the device, but without validating them. But the app user is at least recording scanned tickets and checking for duplicates scanned by that device. When connectivity is restored, the scans are uploaded to our server (and to the SimpleTix server) for review.
What many of our clients do is offer both an online and on-device service to their customers if their customer has no way of verifying connectivity before the event. In that way the client has a choice of starting with online or offline scanning. While scanning to an online database is the ideal choice, on-device validation is a close second because it not only catches invalid tickets but also checks for duplicates scanned by that device and can be periodically synced with the server.
Kudos to SimpleTix for a job well done.
