Chill Out: Winter Weather Must Haves
You blinked at some point during autumn and missed it- the switch from a nip in the air to snowpocalypse/frigid freezing help! We did the same thing. Perhaps we don't want to acknowledge what is just around the corner: The looming dark, cold days of slush, snow and bitter winds. Perhaps we are so taken with the lovely weather and colors of fall we let ourselves forget- every year- that we really do need to dust off the snow boots, haul out the hats and gloves, put the ice scraper in the car. Because one morning, suddenly, it is pitch black and has snowed overnight, and you were wearing flip flops only the day before. It's not too late to get your winter act together. Grab any item off of this list and ensure warmth and comfort to help heat up the numbness of winter. Don a cozy new hat, pack gloves in your work bag, be ready. It will make you feel infinitely better about the snowy and cold state of affairs. And, at the very least, you can look forward to Christmas, which is only six weeks away.

Cynthia Bailey has finally let it all out when it comes to her former friend NeNe Leakes. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Tuesday, April 29, Cynthia slammed NeNe for being such a horrible friend to her, going so far as trying to get her fired from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," when she appeared on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" on Sunday, April 27.
Andy asked Cynthia what she thought about what NeNe said about her during her own appearance on "WWHL." Cynthia said that she's glad that NeNe did that show because it validated the fact that NeNe was never her friend. She said that just because they aren't speaking anymore doesn't mean that NeNe should say that she should no longer be on "Real Housewives," which NeNe did when she was on "WWHL."
Cynthia also responded to NeNe's assertion that she doesn't have a story line. Cynthia said that it was in fact NeNe who didn't have a story line this past season. Cynthia pointed out that the only thing that could have counted as NeNe's story line is her falling out with her. She then again blasted NeNe for going on "WWHL" and trying to get her fired.
NeNe, of course, has responded strongly to Cynthia's comments about her on the reunion show and "WWHL." She retweeted a fan's comment that Cynthia's "time is over" and then taunted Cynthia, tweeting that she won't give her any more of her energy and to think of her when she looks at her wedding photos. Some people took NeNe's comment to imply that she helped pay for Cynthia's wedding.
NeNe also retweeted a fan's tweet that it's sad that Cynthia will now run to Kenya Moore's side. Some people have speculated that Cynthia will become closer to Kenya, NeNe's enemy, next season, particularly after Cynthia said that Kenya did not deserve to be attacked by Porsha Stewart at the reunion, no matter what words or props were used. Clearly, NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey will have a lot of drama between them if both return for season seven of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

The Miami Heat last played the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals at home in two classic victories. But in Game 3 of the 2014 NBA Finals on June 10, the Spurs had their chance to finally erase the memories of their last playoff visit to Miami. While the Heat won last year's championship at home with big comebacks, there was no coming back from yielding the hottest half in playoff history, which the Spurs used to roll to a 111-92 win.
By the time the carnage in the first quarter was over, the Spurs had 41 points, hit 13-of-15 shots, 4-of-4 three pointers and 11-of-13 free throws. Minutes later, the Spurs had hit 19-of-21 shots overall, including 10 in a row, while Kawhi Leonard had 18 points on 6-of-6 shooting.
Even after the Heat made some defensive stops, they went into halftime with a 71-50 deficit. By then, the Spurs had hit 25-of-33 shots for a 75.8 shooting percentage -- the highest for a half in NBA Finals history. Miami had hit 55.9 percent of its own first half shots, but it made no real difference.
Nevertheless, the Heat still had a run left in them, as they closed the gap to as little as seven points once the Spurs went a little cold. However, Miami only got as close as 10 points in the fourth quarter, as San Antonio used one last mini run to put Game 3 away. There would be no improbable collapse at the end, like in Game 6 at Miami last year.
All told, the Spurs ended Game 3 with a mere 59.4 shooting percentage. But they weren't the only ones to cool off late, as LeBron James had 14 first quarter points and then only eight for the rest of the night, nearly matching his seven turnovers. Yet Mario Chalmers never got going, as he went 0-for-5 for only two points.
Leonard was another story in having the game of his life, scoring 29 points -- a total he never even matched in college, yet alone the pros. Doing it in the NBA Finals is certainly good timing, especially when the Spurs needed to prove they could win in Miami and get their home court advantage back.
Now it's the Heat who must get hot in Miami again, or return to San Antonio on the brink of losing their title.

Kitty cats. It's not enough to own a few, or to even wear a few on a t-shirt. You gotta show your love for your favorite felines by using the Multi Color Cat Camera Strap ($34) from Couch when you snap your photos. At the very least, wearing them around your neck will remind you that nothing you can possibly photograph is as cute as a trio of kittens (except for, obviously, a whole litter of kittens).

How do you rebuild your life after a global disaster? Just before Perrotta's unsettling story begins, millions of people all over the earth vanish without a trace. But this isn't the Rapture of prophecies and tracts. There's a disturbingly random twist. -Upstanding Christians have disappeared (as expected), but so have Jews, Muslims, atheists and unrepentant sinners. Racked with insecurity, guilt and fear, those who remain must find a way to carry on in the aftermath of the Sudden Disappearance.
The Leftovers focuses on one suburban family, the Garveys, who are struggling to adjust to a radically different world. Laurie, the mother, runs off to join a cult whose members have taken a vow of silence and who chain-smoke as a testimony to the brevity of life. Her gregarious husband, Kevin, an ex–high school football star, tries to lift the town's spirits—and his own—in his new role as mayor. Meanwhile, their teenage daughter, Jill, joins a group of potheads, and Tom, their son, drops out of college to follow the newly minted guru Holy Wayne, founder of the Healing Hug Movement and a self-declared "sponge for pain."
Perrotta's gift is his ability to infuse satire with warmth, to find significance in the absurd. It's easy to mock extreme forms of religious expression. It's harder to find their meaning and their application. Perrotta does both in this rich and oddly reassuring read.
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes
Good with Pinot Gris or rosé Makes 4 main-dish servings
About 1½ cups leftover roast leg of lamb
Generous pinch saffron
¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 jalapeño chiles, seeded and diced
Sea salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1½ cups basmati rice
½ cup raisins
¾ cup toasted slivered almonds
½ cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup plain yogurt
1. Slice the lamb into strips about 1 inch long and ¼ inch wide, removing any gristle or fat. Meanwhile, soak the saffron in ½ cup warm water.
2. Heat ¼ cup olive oil in a medium-size heavy casserole. Brown the lamb for 3 to 4 minutes; remove to a platter. Adding a little more oil to the casserole if necessary, sauté the onion, garlic and chiles until the onion is soft. Season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add the cumin, coriander and cardamom. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn the spices.
3. Add the rice, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes over moderate heat, stirring. Add the saffron with its water and the raisins. Stir well, then add the amount of water as directed on the package of rice, allowing for the ½ cup saffron water. Stir, bring to a boil, then turn down heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
4. Stir in the lamb. Sprinkle with almonds and mint. Pass the yogurt, to be spooned on top.—MOIRA HODGSON

New rugged wheelchair will help disabled hikers in Alberta
Banff-Cochrane MLA Ron Casey talks with Alberta Parks employee Christian Bagg, who explains to the Park Explorer wheelchair, aimed to help disabled people navigate rough terrain. Supplied photo

CALGARY - Hiking Alberta's back country just got a bit easier for the disabled.
As part of its Everyone Belongs Outside initiative, Alberta Parks on Saturday unveiled a rugged new wheelchair, dubbed the Park Explorer, that will allow people with limited ability to navigate rough terrain.
Richard Starke, minister for tourism, parks and recreation, said the province's plan will make Alberta's vast wilderness areas more accessible.
"This plan offers an exciting vision for Alberta's provincial parks where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are free to enjoy the outdoors," he said.
The Park Explorer, developed by Alberta Parks staff working with stakeholders and volunteers, will allow the disabled to explore natural treasures that in the past may not have been possible.
Shawna Henderson, Push to Open Nature Ambassador and now a user of the one-of-a-kind Park Explorer, said the innovation has opened new vistas for her and her daughter.
"Being able to participate in nature with my 14-year-old daughter means a lot to me," she said.
"I am very grateful for opportunities to spend time with her in a fun and relaxed environment."
The Everyone Belongs Outside plan, which has been crafted to help guide future development of provincial parks, aims to create programs, policies and partnerships to help all Albertans, regardless of what affliction they suffer.
In addition to the physically disabled, the plan also focuses on those with mental disabilities, seniors, youth and new Canadians.
The new initiatives includes programs to teach immigrants about camping, a bus pilot project between Fort McMurray and Gregoire Lake provincial park as well as geocaching and astronomy programs for youth.

he D-Day is here for nearly 1.97 lakh students. The allocation of seats in the first round of online admission to first-year junior colleges (FYJC) begins on Wednesday.
With their eyes trained on the first merit list, students say that they fear cut-offs will shoot up this year. But experts assure that since not many students have scored in the 80s and 90s, the rise in cut-offs will be marginal.
The first round of allocations will take place online and students will be able to check which seat they have secured at 5pm by logging on to the FYJC online admissions website, www.fyjc.org.in. The merit list will also be displayed by colleges on their notice boards.
Students should seek provisional admission on June 28, 29 and 30 in the college that have been allotted to them. If they fail to do so, they will be eliminated from the process.
Students will also get an SMS update of their admission status.
An education official in charge of online admissions said, "Students should not just rely on the SMS updates, as sometimes the service providers fail to update students. Students should log on to the online admission website to check whether they have been allotted a seat. Last year, lots of students lost out on admission since they received the mobile updates late."
This year, tensions are running high among students for two reasons. Over 1,88,796 secondary school certificate (SSC) students who have applied for online admissions are worried that ICSE and CBSE students will beat them to seats in top colleges. This year, the SSC students' performance in the board examinations was poorer compared to their ICSE and CBSE counterparts.
"I have applied to all commerce colleges that had a cut-off of less than 80% last year. But this year, I am afraid that if the cut-offs rise, I will be forced to take admission to a lesser known college," said Yash Sawant, a student of St Xavier's High School, who secured 75% in his SSC examinations.
Shobhana Vasudevan, principal of RA Podar College in Matunga, said, "Parents are worried that children who have scored in the range of 87% to 91% will not get a seat in good colleges. Although it is hard to predict cut-offs, looking at the fact that the minority colleges cut-offs were low this year, there is hope for students seeking online admissions as well." The college had a

Economic feasibility of fiber-to-the-home networks

|Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) is a communications technology that provides a multitude of applications and services over a single fiber optic network. These include basic services such as telephone, internet and television, and more advanced applications like tele-medicine, tele-working, smart grid power monitoring technology, remote home utility control and e-learning. Canada, in general, and PEI in particular, lags the world in FTTH access per capita as measured by the number of households within the population that have subscribed to a FTTH service. In December 2008, twenty counties were listed as having reached 1% access of FTTH; Canada was not on that list. Recently in the US, a growing number of municipal governments have invested significant capital, and have been building FTTH networks themselves, similar to another era when they had built roads, sewers and electrical systems (St. John, 2008). This research study examined the economic feasibility of municipal investment in FTTH networks by comparing the experience of three US cities with their respective state-wide economic data. This applied research examined the economic benefits for the municipality using three measures. The measures were ␣ (1) per capita income, (2) unemployment rates and (3) housing prices. While the evidence suggested an increase in per capita income was associated with the implementation FTTH. The finding did not suggest there was any association between a fiber network and reduced unemployment rates or increased housing values. This research also provided an estimated cost range to build a municipal FTTH network in 2010. This data could be used to calculate a Return on Investment (ROI) model. The ROI models may be used to evaluate the economic feasibility of municipal capital investment in potential FTTH projects.

HIV is also known as the human immunodeficiency virus. It is the virus that can cause AIDS. There are screening tests that can determine if one has been exposed to this virus. There are also several facts that one should know about these tests including the following:
Reasons To Take These Screening Tests
These screening tests should be taken whenever one believes there is a chance that they may have been exposed to the HIV virus. Exposure to this virus can occur if one has ever had the following, according to the website, WebMD:
• Several Sexual Partners
• Unprotected sex (even if it was with one partner)
• Taken drugs through an injection
• Had any transmitted disease in the past such as hepatitis, herpes, or TB
• Had sex for money
• Had sex with a person who had been previously exposed to the HIV virus
Types Of Screening Tests That Are Available
When a person is exposed to HIV, the person will begin producing what is known as immune attacking antibodies in their body. Simple antibody tests can show if these antibodies are then present in the person. These antibody tests can be taken through blood tests, urine samples, or saliva testing. However, these antibodies may not show up for six to twelve months after exposure. Therefore, repeat testing is considered necessary.
Rapid HIV tests can give a person results in twenty minutes. This is usually known by blood or saliva. Yet, if the person is tested negative during a rapid HIV test, the doctor will still generally want to do follow testing later, just in case the antibodies haven't had time to grow.
Home testing is known through a simple draw of blood through the tip of one's needle. Then the blood is sent into a lab. However, to get true results one should do follow up testing again in three to six months.
HIV Treatment
Treatment for HIV will vary depending on the count of CD4 protein count present in the body. A CD4 protein is a type of infection fighting white blood cell the body has. Treatment will also be accordance to one's overall health and the amount of HIV in one's body. The higher the amount of the virus the more intense treatment will be for the patient. This amount of HIV is also known as the viral load in the body. This viral load will be tested every couple of weeks in the beginning of treatment.
The doctor will also do a variety of other testing before prescribing medication for the HIV. This can include:
• Complete blood work
• Tests for infections
• Cholesterol testing
• Urine testing
• STD testing
Once all the tests come back, then the doctor will begin a medication regime for the patient. That regime will be catered to the patients CD4 protein, viral load, and any other health information.
Medication will continue throughout the patient's life. It may be adjusted periodically as well.
Many people who has HIV can long and productive lives. However, they must stay on top of their health care needs. They must take steps to remain healthy, which includes following their medication schedules and trying to eat as healthy as possible.

A whale explosion is worrying the residents of Trout River where the carcass of a blue whale, the world's biggest mammal, looks as if it is about to explode. The gasses building up inside this carcass make this a dangerous and awful smelly place to be around, according to reports from CNN News on April 30.
The Newfoundland town is in a dilemma, how do they get rid of the whale before it actually does explode spewing whale guts far and wide? If they think the stench is bad now, an explosion of this carcass will render the smell too overwhelming to take in.
According to WebProNews today, Trout River's town manager, Emily Butler, said that the whale looks like a giant balloon from a distance, that's how much it has bloated since washing ashore. It is a major concern to the town that the gases will expand to the point of a whale explosion, said Butler.
This blue whale washed up on the shores of Trout River, it is one of three blue whales to wash ashore on the western shores of Newfoundland this month. Two of the towns are facing a possible explosion of the blue whales as the carcasses are puffing up like hard and big balloons. Soon the pressure inside the whale from the expanding gasses will get too great and split open the whale carcasses spewing fish debris far and wide.
Trout River has an 81-foot-long, 60-ton carcass bloating by the minute on the waterfront. The methane gas inside is expanding. This bloating whale can turn into a dangerous situation as explained by scientist Jack Lawson from Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans. While Lawson's worries aren't necessarily with an explosion, he is worried about someone leaning up against the whale or tripping and falling into it. Lawson said:
"The (whale) skin is starting to lose its integrity and if someone were to walk along, say, the chin -- that is full of all that gas -- they could fall in the whale. The insides will be liquefied. Retrieving them would be very difficult."
Putting aside a possible explosion and someone accidentally drowning inside the liquefied contents of this whale by falling into it, the stench is another worry. The dead beast is letting off this detestable stench just as the season for tourists is about to begin. The bloated whale carcass is posing quite the problem.
The second bloating whale was found in Rocky Harbor and even if the thing doesn't explode, much like Trout River, the stench is nauseating. Both towns would have to come up with the money to have the whales towed out to sea, but nether have the resources. Towing such huge mammals out to sea and leaving them there, poses a risk to fishermen, boaters and shipping traffic. That is one huge item to hit with a boat out at sea.
Normally when a whale washes ashore it stays there and the birds and animals eat it while it slowly decays down to just bones. This happens over the course of a few years. With tourist season about to start and with both the whales sitting in the sun this makes for the perfect storm to create an even stronger gagging stench. The whale carcasses filling up with methane gas will make the smell unbearable. This will travel to the seaside restaurants and tourist shops of both Trout River and Rocky Harbor. It could damage the tourist season if something isn't done to get the carcasses moved.
The whales are believed to have been trapped by this cold winter season's ice. The ice caused the whales to either drown or be crushed by ice when feeding.

Mary Lou Williams: Medi No. 2
Medi No. 2
Mary Lou Williams (piano)
Marian McPartlandÆs Piano Jazz with guest Mary Lou Williams (The Jazz Alliance TJA 12045-2)
Mary Lou Williams (piano), Ronnie Boykins (bass).
Composed by Mary Lou Williams.
Recorded: October 8th, 1978
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
Composed during her religious chapter, ōMedi No. 2,ö also on Zoning (1974) and Mary LouÆs Mass (1977), demonstrates her inherent progressiveness. Like Miles, Mary Lou had the depth and capacity to transform within each era. This track is an example of her all-encompassing vocabulary; her right hand lays out an eloquent, eternal theme, while her left hand retells the history of jazz piano. Unequalled in her versatility, she set a benchmark for a myriad of players, composers, and arrangers. Last thought: ōMary Lou, this is Strays. Duke canÆt make the gig, will you play it?ö And so she did.

Life Without Parole will be presented at the
New York International Fringe Festival August 8th - 26th, 2014
Visit www.LifeWithoutParolePlay.com for more information
THE SERPENT by: JEAN CLAUDE VAN ITALIE
WAT Project will take an inventive re-exploration of this revolutionary play from the late 1960's that creatively ventures through the Book of Genesis as it relates to our modern day experiences employing dance, improvisation, and fresh
multi-media musings.
The Serpent will be presented as our Spring Mainstage production in 2015
WAT Project is partnering with the David Lynch Foundation to provide a series of staged readings throughout 2014 to support this wonderful multi-platform initiative.
The series kicks off Monday, May 19th, 2014
(doors at 6:30, reading at 7:00pm)
Lone Star is the late night drunken reunion of Roy, his brother Ray, and old high school acquaintance Cletis. When Roy returns from serving time in Vietnam, his PTSD and numbness challenge his attempts to fit back into his small Texas town. Jessica Dermody (Artistic Director of WAT Project) will direct Lone Star featuring the talents of Joey Calveri (Rock of Ages, Wonderland), Aaron Krohn (Cabaret, Macbeth), and Brian Charles Johnson (Spring Awakening, American Idiot).
Laundry and Bourbon features three women of the same small town: Elizabeth, Hattie, and Amy Lee. The amusing and discontented gossip of these small-town wives highlights the reality that thier marriages have turned out to be less than they had hoped for. Damon W. Arrington (The Public and Labyrinth Theatre) will direct the reading of Laundry and Bourbon featuring Jenn Collela (IF/ THEN, Urban Cowboy), Katrina Rose Dideriksen (Hairspray, Jerry Springer: The Opera), and Lil Malinich (All My Children) in the cast.
To conclude the evening, there will be a brief introduction to Transcendental Meditation and The Operation Warrior Wellness Project. Audience members are welcome to meet and talk with members of the David Lynch Foundation and WAT Project.
Complimentary refreshments are included in the $25 Ticket Price.

Future Monday Night Light Readings To Be Determined

I am having my first baby with my second husband in our crazy blended family. We just found out it is a girl. I had followed traditions with my first son of having nothing in the house and it was fine, I wasn't really worried, there was plenty of time to get things together while I was in the hospital. My second son was less than two years younger than my first, we had everything we could possibly need. Now, my "baby" Eytan is almost 7 1/2 and Avi is 9, my stepdaughter Sarah is 9 and we have absolutely NOTHING left from when either of us had kids. I'm starting to panic about not being prepared. If you followed the tradition of not having anything in your house - how did you do it without stressing? Really, I need no additional stress, I'm already on bed rest.
I need some Jewish mom thoughts...

Parenting without a sense of humor is like being an accountant who sucks at math.
I looked into things so I knew what I wanted but everything was bought after my kids have come. For me its NOT stressful cause there is plenty of time to get stuff. All the baby needs is mommy's chest in total honesty. By law you need a car seat to bring baby home. For us no problem, dh picked it up after kid was born. When he picked up the car seat he as well got a going home outfit which has become our tradition, after baby is born him and our other children pick out a special blankie and a few special outfits. In all honesty gifts were coming in from friends and family and by my first son's bris we had everything we needed and WAY more.
People have different personalities. I was not nor would ever get a crib that was going to take months for it to arrive- I won't spend that kind of money on a crib. I am very laid back and just don't get stressed about THAT- plenty of other things to stress about. LOL What stressed me out more than anything was people trying to make me stress about not having those things. I told more than a few with my hormones going where to put it.
You have done it before... don't let people get to you.

Does your child have tourette syndrome? Join us
I feel like we had an extreme example: we were adopting, so not only did we not have anything in the house because of the Jewish custom, we had nothing in the house becaue we had no idea when we would "get the call" about a baby being placed with us.
And when I say "nothing," I mean nothing: no diapers, wipes, bassinet, formula, bottles, car seat. Nada. We had a couple of receiving blankets, two footed sleepers, three onesies and three pairs of stretchy pants in a shopping bag in the trunk of the car. Partly because we didn't know when we'd get a baby, and partly because we didn't know if we'd have to travel (and if so, we knew we'd have to stay in another state for 3-7days), we figured we'd buy essentials when we got "there" (wherever there was).
So of course, we get the call in January 2009, and the baby was born in our home city. Two friends of mine sat down the day before we picked up our son from the adoption agency, wrote a list of "Things You Absolutely Need Now" and took us on a Babies R Us run that night to buy the list. We stayed up late that night putting together the bassinet and changing table, installing the car seat, boiling bottles and washing clothes.
So I'm sure you're in fine shape and if not, know that getting the essentials less than 24 hours before the baby arrives worked out fine. [we didn't set up a nursey until about a month ago, as our son was sleeping in our room anyway, and we weren't too keen on bunnies and duckies as a design motif, anyway. But now, finally, we have a crib, mobile, bright artwork (not juvenile though), bookshelves to hold books and animals, etc.]
Do you have friends with babies/children that you could borrow stuff from?
We had nothing. Nothing. In fact, I had my baby Dec 31st at night, so nothing was open the next day. I was very lucky because I had amazing friends who lent me what I needed. Really, I didn't need much. A few sleepers, a pack and play, a car seat. Diapers and that stuff DH picked up at the drug store after I had the baby.
Don't worry... it all works out. What's the worst that'll happen? Once you're home, everything works its way out!
Friends of ours bought things but stored them at a neighbor's house until the baby was born. This time around, we are reusing everything from DS, so we have everything in the house already.
DS1 Oct 8, 2006, DS2 Sept 16, 2009 -- GDM with both
You all just made me smile - I know in my head this can be done, but there is so much pressure to have everything. I also have only had boys, so I had their bris to focus on, apparently that caused enough stress of how to fit 60 guests in a tiny condo while recovering from childbirth
This one is a girl - no bris to focus on.

Oh yeah girls are so much easier =). I've had two. =) Just relax!!! It'll be fine. I had nothing in the house with *either* of them (long story).

Lorimk, if you're already mom to two (three?) boys, you can handle this one with your eyes closed!
Good luck and I hope you can relax and enjoy the next months of pregnancy and the upcoming birth of your baby girl.
LOL two boys and my stepdaughter. It's been a LONG time, I haven't shopped for baby stuff in 10 years.

Honestly, I say do whatever makes you most comfortable...you deserve that after being on bedrest! I know a lot of people who did what the other poster mentioned- buying the stuff and keeping it somewhere else. In reality, it probably wouldn't be too bad if you selected the stuff ahead of time at Target or wherever and had dh go out right after the birth and pick it up, but I think G-d would understand the anxiety of being pregnant and on bedrest and would want you to be happy!
mommy of Meagan 1/28/04 (future Musical star) and my little miracle Natalie 9/25/05 (febrile seizures), Matthew Colin (5lb 13 oz) 10/21/2009
When I was on bedrest with my first I DID do all the research and created a registry which I just didn't have up on the website so dh knew EXACTLY what I wanted. Everyone was asking what they could do to help so I had someone put it up on the site (I think it was babies r us) for me. From the hospital during down time I called our local store and had them set aside the few things from the reg. I wanted right away so all dh had to do was run and pick it up. Diapers and wipes we just stopped on our way home from the hospital and dh ran inside and grabbed a pack to get us through the weekend.

Economic numbers released Tuesday by the Utah Office of Tourism show continued growth in Utah's tourism industry, reaching $7.4 billion in traveler spending last year and employing 127,781 Utahns statewide.
These strong numbers set the backdrop for Tuesday's meeting between the Governor's Partnership for Rural Development and the Utah Office of Tourism in Richfield, Utah, where the two agencies were to focus on developing an integrated strategy for improving the business outlook for rural Utah.
"The growth of Utah's tourism industry over the past decade has improved rural economies, stimulated entrepreneurship and small business development, in turn, strengthening our rural communities," Governor Gary R. Herbert said.
According to the Utah Department of Workforce Services, tourism is a key job creator in rural Utah counties, employing 41.9% percent of the workforce in Garfield County, 35.6% in Grand County and 32.8% in Kane County.
"Visitors to the state contributed $960 million in state and local taxes last year," said Spencer Eccles, executive director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). "This new capital infusion is used to fund education, build roads and improve the quality of life for every resident."
Tourist visitation to Utah hit an all-time high in 2012 with 23.5 million visitors enjoying Utah's five national parks, 14 ski areas and scenic byways.
"As more visitors explore all corners of this great state, there is tremendous opportunity for economic development in Utah's rural communities," said Varela. "We're proud to be working closely with our partners at GOED to fulfill the Governor's initiative to bring lasting, sustainable jobs and economic development to all of Utah's 29 counties."
2012, Utah tourism by the numbers:

Hair Doesn't Hold UpSince I am the first to review this dryer, I am writing in great details.
Used this Valera SwissFon dryer only once but is enough for me to write a review. Hair looked nice initially (no flyaways, silky etc) however within 24 hours hair became completely flat, no body left, looking extremely shiny to the point of looking very greasy, and also showing static. I couldn't wait to go washing my hair the next day as it felt like I haven't washed my hair for too many days. I wonder if there is such a thing as too much ions from the dryer. I have normal medium dark hair, so I can not imagine if you have fine thin hair -- this dryer will be a wrong choice.
If you are interested in its physical specifications, here it goes: it is a medium size dryer (though they look really small in the picture), the barrel measures 6.5 inches long, handle 7 inches, wide nose with 2.5 inches in diameter, back vent 3.5 inches in diameter, cord 8.5 feet, weight 1 Lb (yes I weighed it). It claims super silent, however I can not really call that super silent, though not loud. It doesn't have dual voltage. It comes with 1 year warranty, however "warranty fee" cost $15.
Regarding speed and temperature, it has two speed, low and high. The low is a little too "low" too gentle, I could barely feel the blow. I need to use the high speed for normal drying, and it feels just right, not blowing too hard like some other dryers. It has three temperature settings, cool, eco and max. "Cool" gives lukewarm air, not cool air, eco gives nice and warm air, max gives much warmer but not too hot air. I like the combination of speed 2 and eco temp for drying purpose.
So the search for the perfect dryer continues. Perhaps the dryer is not the problem, it is the "ions", or perhaps it is this particular dryer with its particular ions. Who knows?

The Little Couple returns to TLC on Tuesday night and the fans get to see the couple grapple with adoption and the diagnosis of Dr. Jen Arnold's cancer. The emotional journey the couple has taken over the past year to put together their family and be a healthy unit has been tough. Perhaps that is why Jen Arnold turned to music when it came to the good times and the bad. On Monday the reality star revealed her music playlist which offered a list of songs she listened to during her tough times during the cancer diagnosis including her chemotherapy treatments.
"Songs that got me through the tougher times!" tweeted Jen Arnold from her official Twitter account. The list of songs can be heard by all the fans who are interested as it has been set up to be turnkey on Spotify.
So what types of songs did Jen listen to that offered some comfort? Well the list is definitely upbeat and offers a winning combination. Songs like Ho Hey by the Lumineers, Brave by Sara Bareilles, Three Little Birds by Bob Marley and even Odds Are by Barenaked Ladies.
For someone going through the treatment of cancer, there is plenty of emotions, but one thing for sure is you don't need a dire diagnosis to enjoy these songs. The list is composed of music that offers motivation and encouragement to deal with whatever mountain might be in the way. In fact this is the type of song list that people should be listening to every time they feel a little down.
Since Jen Arnold shared it with the world, it's obviously pretty effective in helping beat cancer. Obviously there was no miracles going on while listening to the tunes, but the music helped keep to the task of staying positive while getting treatments and sometimes that is what is needed when going through a difficult situation.

"................. was carried out at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in the Immune Monitoring and Flow Cytometry Shared Resource, which was established by equipment grants from the Fannie E. Rippel Foundation, the NIH Shared Instrument Program, and Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and is supported in part by the Core Grant (CA 23108) from the National Cancer Institute to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the COBRE-CIR (P20RR16437) from the National Center for Research Resources to the Center for Molecular, Cellular, and Translational Immunological Research. "
Please email Jacqueline Y. Channon, PhD at firstname.lastname@example.com whenever a grant or a publication is submitted.
Core facilities must charge for services rendered according to accounting practices set up at each institution. Charging for services does not preclude authorship on manuscripts provided the Core laboratory individual has contributed to the research in a substantial way. If authorship is anticipated, it is preferably established at the beginning of the project so that both the customer and the Core researcher are cognizant of each other's criteria.
ABRF Recommended Guidelines for Authorship on Manuscripts
Important reasons for acknowledging contributions from core facilities in publications, by co-authorship, or by formal mention in the acknowledgments section, include:
- Core facility personnel are scientists. When they make a substantial intellectual and/or experimental contribution to a publication they deserve to be acknowledged just as any other co-author.
- The existence of core facilities depends in part on proper acknowledgment in publications and in grant writing. These are important metrics of the value of most core facilities. Proper acknowledgment of core facilities enables them to obtain financial and other support so that they may continue to provide their essential services in the best ways possible. It also helps core personnel to advance in their careers, adding to the overall health of the core facility.
Activities for which authorship are recommended:
- Author should make substantive contributions to the project:
- Conception, design of project, critical input, or original ideas
- Acquisition of data, analysis and interpretation, beyond routine practices
- Draft the article or revise it critically for intellectual content
- Write a portion of the paper (not just materials and methods section)
- Intellectual contribution
- Final authority for the approval of article
- Each author should have participated enough to accept responsibility for the content of the manuscript
Activities that do not constitute authorship:
- Collection of data (technical skill but not involved in interpretation of data)
- General supervision of research group, but no intellectual input into the project
All contributors that do not meet the criteria of authorship should be recognized in the acknowledgements section, for example:
- Paid technical help
- Writing assistance
- Financial and material support
- Scientific advice

Java API for the Grid
By templedf on Jul 19, 2004
I am currently in the middle of fighting to get a JavaTM API for the Sun N1 Grid EngineTM included in the next release of our product. DRMAA is a (GGF) standard API which allows for the submission, monitoring and control of jobs. Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.0 includes a C binding for DRMAA already. I have written a Java language binding on top of the C binding (using JNI), and I'm now trying to get through the usual pile of bureaucracy to get it included in the 6.0p1 release.
In my opinion, it is critical that we get a Java API built into N1GE as soon as possible, so that 1) we can say Sun's grid has a Java API, and 2) we can start building a developer community as quickly as possible. Not surprisingly, since the Java language binding has appeared in the CVS source tree, almost all DRMAA questions that we get are about the Java language binding. It looks like several different groups have already started playing with it. If I can get it into the product, I have very high hopes for adoption.
If you would like to voice an opinion about the inclusion of the DRMAA Java language binding in the next release of N1 Grid Engine (and the open source Grid Engine courtesy binaries), please drop an email to our external mailing list. If you're a Sun employee, look up the grid-interest mailing list. (Didn't give a link in hopes of shielding it from spam.) You never know; you may just swing the tide.
BTW, it's hot here in Bavaria. OK, actually it's an otherwise perfectly pleasent temperature except for the fact that homes in Germany rarely have air conditioning. Without good ole A/C, even 80oF (~26oC) can be hard to handle, at least for Americans.

One of Geurink's secrets for success is that he structures all hunts as group departures, and then has each group escorted by someone who speaks Russian and really knows the ropes. Additionally, Geurink works closely with Dimitri Sikorski, a Ukrainian hunt impresario who is as competent and professional as anyone in the business in the former USSR.
In terms of volume, Geurink is now among the largest outfitters for brown bear in the world. He had 28 hunters on his Kamchatka spring hunts this year, and all 28 filled out. Several bears squared over 10 feet, and many squared over nine. As far as scores go, a number of skulls green-scored at 26 14/16, 27 4/16, 27 8/16, 27 11/16, 28 5/16, and 28 8/16. One green-scored over 29 but couldn't be entered because the hunter inadvertently cracked the skull.

I enjoy remembering a time my father took my brother Tim and me as kids out onto Leach Lake in Northern Minnesota. It was a beautiful summer vacation day. Tim and I were excited to get out on the big lake to fish. It was a beautiful day. Why then did dad have to ruin it by bringing all of the warm coats and rain gear? It was embarrassing. I remember complaining all the way to the boat. As soon as the bow of the boat left the harbor waves began to hit the boat with force. Though a sunny warm day, there was enough wind on large Leach Lake to cause big white cap waves, keeping each boater on guard so as to not capsize. Tim and I soon had each of those embarrassing coats tightly zipped up over our life jackets as we ducked under the covering of the boats bow to escape the wind, and cold water splashing up all around us.
I often wonder if my moments of adult indecision are the child in me waiting for someone else to make the decision, for my dad to say "We're bringing the coats".
It is of course long past the time for me to take charge of the important matters of life. Waiting for someone else to step up and make decisions for me is not the way of maturity. I must make the decisions and move toward productive resolutions. That's it, look ahead, see the white caps, and bring the coats. Years on from that wild day on the lake with Tim and dad it is my responsibility to personally take action in the direction of improvement. Of those issues awaiting my action, some are of little meaning while others carry weighted significance. Each however are mine to make.
How about you? In regards to fitness, have you taken responsibility for your own condition? Others can tell us to exercise ("Bring the coats!") but we must make the move toward optimal health on our own. Make decisions today that will move you closer to greater health and fitness in the weeks ahead.. If you need some assistance, some motivation, I would love to help. I've got plenty of "coats".

A six-storey property in Central London that was the base of the Beatles' music empire in the Sixties has been sold to a luxury residential developer.
The Malins Group has paid £6 million to buy 94 Baker Street, a Grade II-listed building that bears a blue plaque commemorating John Lennon.
The corner building was the former HQ of the band's Apple Corps record business and its ground floor was the home of the Apple Boutique, a shop that, according to Paul McCartney at the time, was launched to provide "a beautiful place where beautiful people can buy beautiful things". When

Stock Upgrades: Kate Spade an Even Better Bet Than Cate Blanchett

Paris 1900's ~ Diamond Jeweles while she confesses that she cannot believe that she fell in love with a duke, and with her common ground of entertainment, a kiss on the hand he uses he thinks to free her. A sexy temptress, a French burlesque actress for her day as well, dies of the consumption, in reality turburculossis for the day and for which also for the day there was no cure. And while most girls only sit around and dream, Diamond Jewele just goes ahead and makes of herself a fantasy, a star, and while living within the confine of a dream world she may never leave, the way she inspires so many others, who without much gratitude, this indeed is the greatest drama tragedy alive on the face of the earth today.
A real star, after she by mistake thrills a poor and broke writer man, overlooking a prince by error, does not seem to give her heart at all to the rich man, a bloke. A chilling confessional and a few months later, as Diamond Jewele advances and retracts, advances and retracts, finally her Moulin Rouge lover becomes the target, a desired victim of the duke as prince. She the one who artfully got rid of her lover in order to save him, finds out that she ends at the end of her life as the fate and not the glory of the frog. He who went to her dressing room to give a poetry reading, unawares the poor writer man as poet and the focus of that what she sold her body for at the time of the meeting of the two lacked some aesthetic and poetic definition, and as the historical perception specific, the classic Broadway style drame français done as a perfect musical form, an infamous love song from every month of the year prior, the story told as ère sung throughout the Moulin Rouge play style performance.
"I am not a duke. I am a writer." A prince, the duke, who walks as if un balai dans le cul bien sculpté, and the pleasure within he promises, he also craves her, but never at all delivers. And as if to say, my dear I love only me, and from the frilling world with silly snags, the man who calls himself duke, barely knows how to understand the terms of Aimez-nous Lift Up Where We Belong let alone the art of love, but as the duke depends on the hold of her by holding the deeds and the monetary value of the Moulin Rouge away from the lovely young actress played by Nicole Kidman, he the writer actually loves the girl, and not the faus paus princed duke, nor the other way around.

TEMPE, Ariz. - No. 5 California is in fourth place with a score of 592 after two rounds of the PING/ASU Invitational at Karsten Golf Course. The Golden Bears, who are the defending champions, trail No. 2 UCLA (579), No. 9 USC (582) and No. 6 New Mexico (588) heading into tomorrow's final round which tees off at 7:30 a.m. PT.
Cal shot a 297 to tie for first after the first round which wrapped up this afternoon due to yesterday's rain. The Bears fired a 295 in the second round. Only eight strokes separates third through ninth place at the 17-team tournament.
Sophomore Sophia Sheridan and senior Sarah Huarte have performed the best for the Bears through two days of competition. After grabbing second last week at the Longhorn Invitational, Sheridan is seventh with a 36-hole score of even-par 144 (73-71). Huarte is tied for eighth at 145 (73-72).
Cal sophomore Sofie Andersson was tied for 14th with a first-round score of 74 but dropped to a tie for 37th at 151 following a 77 in the afternoon. Seniors Anna Temple and Claire Dury are tied for 55th (154) and tied for 63rd place (155), respectively.
Washington's Paige Mackenzie sits atop the leader board at minus-two 140, one shot ahead of Pepperdine's Carolina Llano and two shots ahead of a quartet of other golfers, including two from the first-place Bruins (Charlotte Mayorkas and Gina Umeck).
Cal freshman Danielle Nash is competing as an individual and is tied for 55th with Temple. Nash and Dury each posted second-round marks of 75.
The ASU Invitational is Cal's last preparation for the Pac-10 Championships April 19-21 in Los Angeles.

Coach Ben Durham says Marvell Academy's 30-8 loss to Delta Academy was much closer than the score might indicate. On the surface that sounds like an old football clich�, but a closer look at the events leading up to the final score indicate this was an accurate assessment of the contest. The Raiders led just 6-0 at the half before returning the opening kickoff of the second half to go up 14-0. However, before the end of the third quarter the Eagles mounted a successful 70-yard drive that culminated with a touchdown run by Josh Mullinax. The TD and successful 2-point conversion quickly closed the gap to 14-8. And that was where the score stood through the third quarter. Delta Academy did not break the game open until midway through the final quarter when the Warriors tallied 16 unanswered points. "From the jamboree to where we are now is quite a difference," commented Durham. "We just don't have much depth. "Delta is good," Durham continued. "They have 10 seniors and they have been waiting for this season for quite a few years." The Eagles had several standout performances on offense and defense. Besides his touchdown, Mullinax gained 57 yards on 6 carries. Defensively, Mullinax had five tackles and one forced fumble. Caleb Gannon was the Eagles' leading ground gainer with 105 yards rushing on 13 carries. On defense, Ethan Littleton had four tackles from his defensive tackle post. On Friday, the Eagles, 1-2, travel to Drew, Mississippi to tangle with the North Sunflower Academy Rebels, 1-2. The Rebels are coming off a 12-6 victory over Calhoun Academy last Friday night.

AUBURN, Ala. -
Arizona Women's Swimming had another exciting performance in the second day of the NCAA Championships as the Wildcats broke three school records and saw impressive finishes from two more relay teams.
During the preliminary session, senior Alyssa Anderson (Granite Bay, Calif.) swam the 200 free in a time of 1:42.91, breaking Lacey Nymeyer's previous record of 1:43.33 set in 2007. She earned a fourth-place finish in the finals for the 13th All-American honor of her career.
Later in the day, sophomore diver Samantha Pickens (Murrysville, Pa.) earned a third-place finish on the 3m board with a score of 379.75, shattering Tiffany Manning's record of 343.75 set in 2006.
In the last race of the day, Arizona's 800 free relay team of Anderson, sophomores Margo Geer (Milford Center, Ohio) and Sarah Denninghoff (Tucson, Ariz.) and junior Monica Drake (Bloomington, Ill.) recorded a time of 6:58.36 to break Arizona's record in the event set in 2009. The quartet finished the event in third place behind Georgia and California.
The Wildcats also found success in the first race of the day, kicking off the round's finals with a runner-up finish in the 200 medley relay behind juniors Chelsey Salli (Vancouver, B.C.) and Lauren Smart (Charlotte, N.C.), Denninghoff and Geer.
Denninghoff gave Arizona another top-four finish as she swam the 100 back in a time of 51.62 to give her a fourth-place finish. In addition to breaking records, the 800 free relay team capped off an impressive night and moved the Wildcats up to a third-place tie with USC and only 19 points behind Georgia in second place after the 14th event.
"The contribution from Sam on the 3-meter really made the night great," Arizona head coach Eric Hansen said. "We started off a little more slowly than we had hoped in the morning, but really came around at night again. We have positioned ourselves in a tie for third and we are getting closer to our goal."
The championships will conclude on Saturday with prelims beginning at 11 a.m. and finals at 7 p.m. Events will include the 200 back, 100 free, 200 breast, 200 fly, platform diving and 400 free relay.

New Motorola Droid Bionic hands-on photos show up
Verizon's upcoming Motorola Droid Bionic has appeared in lots of images before (including some unveiled by the FCC), but now it's the first time we get to see it in clear hands-on photos.
Gotta Be Mobile has managed to spend so time with the Bionic, and published four photos of it, showing it from all four sides. These images don't bring any new details, save maybe for the blogger's comment about the new Droid being "clunky" – well, it's a 4.3 inch device after all, you can't expect it not to be massive.
Verizon should launch the Motorola Droid Bionic sometime in September. The smartphone will feature LTE, global roaming capabilities, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, dual-core processor, and an 8MP rear camera with flash and 1080p video recording. Pricing on contract will probably be north of $200.

Great Headphones at a Great price

Best Uses
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Audio-Technica Active Noise Cancelling On-Ear Headphones:
I been buying Audio-Technica products since the early seventies and they last and last. Great customer service and you don't have to wait long when you call for help. That's coming from a Professional Audio/Video Recording Engineer. These phones are selling on the net for as much as $300 dollars but here at BJ's there only [$]. They don't lack bass, mid-range and high frequency response. The bass response is very close to the high end Bose headphones. The phones will operate without a aaa battery in it or dead, just at a lower volume and no ANC. With a good battery all is perfect! Just remember to turn off phones on the left side switch because you WILL go through ton's of batteries. Proper use and the battery will last many months. You will know when you need to change the battery because a blue led light will start blinking. The only problem that I experience was with the phones was the "Ear Form Pads and vinyl". After four months of everyday use they fell apart. The vinyl separated from the inter ring exposing the form pads. Audio-Technica will send replacement pads that sticks to the ear driver area for free. Once that is done, I beleive the phones are actually better. Even with this problem I give a full five star plus rating for over 45 years of purchasing headphones and electronic equipment. This product sold by BJ's is fully recommended by a audio/video pro... Spend the extra money and please yourself!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My name is Carlos Suescun and I work as a physician hospitalist at Scottsdale Osborn hospital and also work for Serenity Hospice. My whole family: my wife, Veronique and my two kids, Luca and Natalia train here at CrossFit Scottsdale. We love all of it and the workouts are awesome too! I believe that no matter what sport you practice, Strength In Conditioning will only make you better and stronger. We enjoy being an active, fit, and healthy family.
I am lucky that my wife has learned a lot about nutrition and also that she is a great cook. Our diet consists of lots of fresh vegetables, grains, fruits, fish, eggs, wholegrain pasta and breads, fish and poultry. After a work out, I drink chocolate milk and I have a Lara bar. During long rides or runs, lots of water, salt tablets, and gu gels. This past Ironman race was very hard but a lot of fun. The swim was very intense with a lot of physical contact the whole time you are in the water, this is what made it challenging. Lots of people dropped out of the swim after only a few minutes. Swimming in the ocean and looking at coral and colorful fish as you swim sure beats swimming in Tempe Town Lake! The bike was very challenging as there are lots of hills and and the Hawaiian crosswinds will test your balance on the bike. The run course was hot and humid, staying hydrated and cool becomes crucial to making it to the finish line. My motivation is just staying fit and healthy and having fun at the same time. Racing brings a whole new dimension to this. It is fun and challenging to keep pushing yourself to keep getting better, stronger, and faster.

Part of the adventure of Art-A-Whirl is exploring the architectural treasures of the historic warehouse buildings that house many of the artists' studios. They include the Grain Belt Bottling house, Northrup King, Q.arma, Casket Arts-Carriage House, and Thorp buildings.
I attended the opening night reception at the Thorp building & Central Business Center (CBC), 1618-1620 Central Ave NE (look for the white painted building with the neon Diamonds Coffee Shoppe sign). I had never been there before.
It was a bewildering place. Inside we found a winding labyrinth of brick corridors and staircases leading to a seemingly endless variety of suites and studios housing artists, photographers, musicians and creative businesses. The evening included musical and projection performances, whirl art, and fashion.
The Thorp & CBC retain historic industrial characteristics, including a towering brick Vic chimney (think Victorian-era England), vintage freight scale and freight elevator (where local musicians play during Art-A-Whirl's famous Freight Sessions).
A number of freight dock entrances dissect the immense 250,000-square-foot space abutting railroad tracks. During the Art-A-Whirl opener, the 36,000-square-foot bay-windowed "Big Space" was the setting for cocktails and a goth-inspired fashion show by Red Shoe Clothing Co.
Bohm Commercial Real Estate leases the space and provides this history: Built in 1902, the Thorp Building was originally home to Thorp Doors, which made heavy duty sliding metal clad fire doors. But during WWII, it functioned as an undercover site for building military equipment. Together, the Thorp and CBC buildings housed the General Mills Mechanical Division, which produced the Torpedo Director and "black box" flight communications recorder, among other strategic devices. Two guard towers actually remain there from the secret operations.
The complex is now home to 65 artists and is touted as the "birthplace of Art-A-Whirl," one of the country's largest open studio art crawls. A group of Northeast artists began holding planning meetings there in 1995. Interestingly enough, the Art-A-Whirl name resulted when one of the attendees spotted the neighboring Whirl Air Flow's tornado logo from a 2nd floor restroom window.
Though the Thorp is not as populated as the some of the other widely known open studio buildings with waiting lists in Northeast, word is spreading. Banners boast that up to 60,000 square feet of space is available for lease. Missed Art-A-Whirl? It's not too late to see these open studios during First Thursdays in the Arts District from 5 to 9 p.m.
