I'm doing this post–well, really this series of posts a bit backwards from the norm. Last fall I was hired by a wonderful lady who had seen an image of mine in a previous post and she said it made her want to come to *me* as her photographer because she loved my work–even though there were photographers that lived nearer to her. I have to say, that I absolutely love when I receive calls like this because it means that I am going to be able to make that client even happier than normal. This isn't because I work harder for one client versus another, but rather when a client comes to me because he or she likes my photographic style we're more likely to be in sync on what we achieve from the session and that is important because any portrait session is always a collaboration between client and photographer; It means a more natural artistic fit.
My life has been crazy and along with holidays, school, mothering, and rental properties bursting water pipes, I've also had to move sites and rebrand because apparently while I'm relatively strong in visual arts like photography…..I'm not necessarily the most computer savvy and while I know my way around pretty well, I stumble into viruses and malware in spite of my best efforts to avoid them. What this means is that even though I've now done three sessions with this wonderful family, I'm only blogging my first post from one of their sessions–the most recent one–right now. I will be playing catch up and sharing more of her beautiful "Baby A" in the near future.
I can't give an intro about a picture being what got my an amazing client without sharing the pictures in question though so I will add just two from before.
Here is the picture that won her over. She saw it, and as an expecting soldier married to a then deployed soldier, wanted one in this style of her own baby. I have to say, I have a special place in my heart for photographing military families. They are amazingly generous and strong people and the type you'd be lucky to call friends.
While the baby in the portrait above was born three days before his father was able to get home from Iraq, fortunately for this family, the baby in the picture below was greeted by both mom and dad, when she joined the world. Below is one of the portrait we created for this client based off of the image above that touched her so.
This is sweet "Baby A". The flag was one that flew overseas where her father served, and while the symbol would have been as poignant had it been purchased just for this session, I find it moving that it has a specific history behind it, as well as all the history that follows our flag simply because it is our flag.
In the sessions we have done since Baby A's newborn session, I've had the pleasure of meeting both sets of her grandparents. Her paternal grandparents and big sis were here for the second session we did, and this time round I got to meet her maternal grandparents, as well as her cousins (they'll be coming in their own post since they are just too cute) and Aunt and Uncle. I always feel privilaged to meet and work with wonderful people at a time that is so precious to them when they are welcoming a newborn baby into their family. I treasure the families that come back and allow me to share in watching their precious children grow. When I get to see them a few times, they become 'my' babies and it really excites me to see their personalities bloom and to get to know their parents better. I've met some good friends this way.
Here are just a few from our latest session.
When her mom was at the end of her pregnancy, she got a caste made of her belly to celebrate the wonderful event of her daughter's upcoming birth and to remember her by, and how tiny she once was. Miss A is now 6 months old!! Can you believe it. While it took too long for the belly bowl to get back for pictures with while Miss A was a newborn, and of course her parents are in the Army and still have to travel and work, we did finally get pics with her and the belly bowl. The workmanship on this is beautiful and Miss A was fascinated by it. It was really cute to see her examining it–almost as if wondering about how she ever managed to fit!
And a few fun ones with mom and the belly bowl too! I have to say I LOVED this. It was so much fun and out of the ordinary from what I'm usually able to put in front of my lens.
Miss A and her mama. Two very beautiful women.
After a few with only mom and Miss A I have to share one with Dad too. He is a trooper; he was plumb beat from a few hard weeks (well, so was mom) but he seems to truly get how quickly this time of Miss A's life will pass and wants to capture it. His good humor and patience in getting family pictures is sweet to watch–especially since not all of the dad's I work with seem to understand as well. 😀
I mentioned that Miss A's maternal side of the family was visiting. Here are some of the family she'll have there to help her as she grows. I don't think you can ever have too many people that love you in this life.
And what better way to close this post than with a few more images of beautiful 6 month old Baby A and the American Flag her daddy carried with him? Her parent's patriotism is inspiring and I think she'll be blessed to be given such context by them as she grows.
Gabby, I have loved every session with you and your creative ideas. I absolutely adore Miss A and look forward to watching her grow for as long as our paths (and the Army) allow us to be in the same are. I hope you like your sneak peek of this last session.

2 face robbery, stabbing chargesFebruary 04,20132 face robbery,
stabbing charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men are expected to answer charges today after allegedly stabbing and robbing a juvenile male.
Friday, police responded to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital after receiving a report of a youth who had been admitted with a stab wound after being robbed by two men near Elm St, according to police. Police described the juveniles injury as potentially serious, but minor.

Punjabi Language and Linguistics
Punjabi is originally the language of people of Punjab, the land of the five tributaries of the mighty Indus River in the northwestern part of South Asia, where the Indus Civilization flourished 4700 years ago. That land now comprises Punjab (India) and Punjab (Pakistan).
Over 100 million speakers of the Punjabi language now make their presence felt in almost all continents of the world. Punjabi Diaspora brought their language, religion and culture with them. A new generation of Punjabi learners wishes to mirror the cultural and linguistic diversity of the global community.
Phonetic features of the Punjabi language are easy to decode as there is hardly any ambiguity in the script and the sound. Most consonants are grouped according to their place and manner of articulation. Aspirated and un-aspirated consonants in Punjabi form distinctive phonemes, whereas in English, these are only variants.
Fall Semester:
PUNJ 1A Punjabi Elementary
Spring Semester:
ETHN 122 Sikh American & Globalization
PUNJ 1B Punjabi Elementary
Punjabi Elementary courses will introduce modern Punjabi as spoken in Punjab and neighboring states. While emphasizing teaching of four language skills: speaking, reading, listening, writing, students will also learn interpersonal communication in Punjabi. Grasping the basics of the language, students are expected to interact with the community members on real life situations, and will include reading comprehension and writing brief compositions.
The Beginning Punjabi 1B: continuation of the Beginning 1A course.
G.E COURSE:Ethnic Studies 122 - Sikh Americans and Globalization: An upper division GE course. The course is offered in Spring through Department of Ethnic Studies.
See the flyer for more information. Course taught by Prof Singh.
Historical Artifact: Gadar Printing Press
Punjabi Language has a history of more than 100 years in California. Sikh Pioneers published Punjabi newspapers in 1913 from San Francisco. They bought a Printing Press and produced a lot of literature for liberating India from the British control. Their dream was to make India a free nation, "United States of India."
At the outset of World War 1, Sikh pioneers created a movement for the freedom of India.

David Vitter is Passionate About Contraceptives
This morning the Senate debated the Blunt Amendment which, entirely unrelated to the transportation bill it was tacked on to, seeks to allow employers to restrict coverage of contraception in the case of conscientious objections. As perhaps the most well-known patron of prostitutes serving in Congress today, it's not surprising Sen. David Vitter volunteered to provide "expert" testimony. You'd think that a man who pocketed his used condoms would expound on the virtues of accessible contraceptives. Instead, Senator Vitter was one of the most passionate supporters of the amendment. His hypocrisy is no surprise to CREW.
Time and time again, Sen. Vitter has represented himself as a paragon of moral values. Today he claimed that protecting employers against "government intrusion" is a fundamental issue of conscience. But as a representative of the government, Sen. Vitter was quick to use his Senate position to assist his staffer, Brent Furer, who served as his advisor on women's issues despite pleading guilty to a vicious assault on his girlfriend in 2008. The senator had his attorneys contact local newspapers to minimize press surrounding Furer's assault, and worse yet, permitted the use of taxpayer funds to fly Furer to Louisiana for court appearances related to other criminal charges.
When Senator Vitter preaches about the importance of keeping the government out of people's private lives, perhaps he really means keeping the police from arresting him for solicitation of prostitution.
Although the Senate voted to table the Blunt Amendment, surely this isn't the last time the issue will be debated. The married senator, who avails himself of birth control when having sex with prostitutes, would be best advised to keep an aspirin between his lips when the debate turns to issues of public morality.

You see players absent from training now and again, sometimes because theyve been out the night before or whatever, but this is the first time ive seen a player purposly miss a match because he was out the night before. I only give him a warning because i didnt read it properly and just assumed he was absent from training, if id of realised it was a match the lad would of been fined 2 weeks wages and been given a prolonged rest from games until his attitude changed. Not sure where he went because Crewe's nightlife is pretty poor, bet the traitor went Stoke:D

For the first time ever, San Diego will homeport a cruise ship in winter, spring, summer and fall: Carnival Cruise Lines has announced that beginning June 2, 2007, its Elation will be stationed in the Southern California city year-round, where it will sail four- and five- night voyages to Baja Mexico.
Beyond being good news for San Diego, the announcement also reflects the growing popularity of shorter cruises. In fact, Elation will offer the only four- and five-night program on the entire West Coast -- the first of its kind according to a spokeswoman for the port. Carnival's move also points to the continued success of the drive-to homeport market cruise lines honed in on after September 11, 2001 (when travelers became reluctant to fly).
However, this same trend is not holding water elsewhere on the West Coast; further north, Princess and Celebrity are actually pulling ships out of San Francisco in 2008. The key word here is likely "north": It generally takes ships longer than a week to sail roundtrip Mexican Riviera cruises from San Francisco -- and, again, "short and sweet" is where it's at right now.
Elation's four-night cruises will call at Cabo San Lucas; five-night voyages add a stop in Ensenada. Prior to the launch of the year-round program, the ship will sail one special six-night cruise on May 27, 2007, that visits three ports: Cabo, La Paz and Ensenada.
Elation, which currently sails four- and five-night Bahamas cruises from Port Canaveral, will reposition to sunny SoCal on May 12, 2007, on a special 15-night Panama Canal transit -- Carnival's first since 2004.
According to a Carnival spokesman, no decision has been made at this point as to whether another ship will replace Elation in Port Canaveral. Guests who had already booked cruises on Elation next summer will be contacted by a cruise line representative with an opportunity to sail on another ship (there are similar four- and five-night options from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa and Jacksonville) -- or cancel for a full refund or future cruise credit.
Carnival will now offer three perennial ships in Southern California (Paradise and Carnival Pride offer three- to seven-night voyages year-round from Long Beach). Other lines with seasonal turnarounds in San Diego (generally fall, winter or spring) include Holland America and Celebrity; also, Carnival Spirit has operated seasonally out of San Diego since 2004, and will continue to do so alongside Elation.

Zen Pinball 2 is a pinball game developed by Zen Studios and published by Zen Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment. The game is released on multiple platforms with multiple release dates, with the PlayStation 4's release date of December 24th, 2013.
Graphics-The graphics are flawless. A lot of effort and attention is put into the tables themselves, and the result is a masterpiece of pinball table proportion. The character model each table brings forth is also well done, and the characters on the licensed tables (Marvel, Star Wars, etc.) look like their movie/comic book counterparts. Some of the ball designs some of the tables bring is also well done and they look great.
Sound-Besides the basic pinball sounds, the soundtrack itself is also well done and fits into each table perfectly. The voice acting is also great and adds atmosphere to each table.
Gameplay-Gameplay is the same as any other pinball game; you just go for the high score, complete mini games to add to your score, and earn extra balls.
Transaction concept-This is the game's only weakness. Having a player play a demo and then decide if they want to buy the specific table isn't a smart choice. Why not just have the options of having to buy the table as whole downloadable content and have at least a few pre-installed tables included in the game?
Physics-Of all the video pinball games physics, this game beats them all. The physics in this game are perfect and makes you feel like you're really playing a pinball machine. The ball behaves the most realistically of all video pinball games out there.
Overall-If you want a pinball game for your PlayStation 4, this game's for you. The physics, tables, gameplay, sound and everything else this game has works in its favor. The only weakness is the demo for tables, which is a pointless move. Other than that, this game is worth getting. And guess what? It's FREE! (to an extent).
Score: 5/5

Many wavy styles don't have to be natural, they can be created with some sort of hot tool whether it be a flat iron, curling iron or curling wand. In the past stylists used curlers, finger waves and pin curls to make wavy hair but now we have hot tools that do exactly the same thing, only much quicker! Giving you more time for other things like makeup and deciding what to wear.
Stylists can rock out a gorgeous wave on a chick in about ten minutes with a flat iron on already dry hair. So no sitting waiting for hair to dry under the dryer, that's a thing of the past for sure now. If you have pretty curly hair you can sometimes just use gel and a diffuser to set your hair in its natural curl and then loosen the curl in your hair with a curling wand to make the curls bigger and create more wave. Curling irons work great but sometimes you can get a better shape curl with the curling wand. It usually comes with a hot glove so you can hold the ends right to the wand and not hurt yourself. Of course it depends on which tool feels comfortable for you.
These tools have become useful for stylists especially the one's on the sets with celebrities and ones working runway. Models have very little time between sets and stylists have minimal time for transitions. This gives them more options for the models while still being able to stay in trend. Some flat iron companies like Babyliss have designed a flat irons with plates that curve along the sides of the iron to allow for easier curling. It is a terrific iron whether your hair is short or long and whether you're looking to get curls or straight hair.
Over the past five years or so, curls and waves have started to become much more adorn by their owners since the products took an ever changing slide into actually working. Curly and wavy haired people do not have to fight the frizz anymore because the products do it for them these days. More styles today are geared more towards some form of curl or wave. Celebrities are even wearing their hair with wave, leaving the straight hair behind. If you have curly hair sometimes it's easier controlling it if it's wavy rather then straight. Especially in the summer in Fort Myers where the humidity is enough to make you look like you stuck your finger in the light socket. If you have curly or wavy hair look into Deva Concepts. They have a product line dedicated only to curly hair.
Wavy and curly hair also looks great worn up, loose and messy. A bun is cute or even messy braids. Adding a headband from Pink Pewter can make any curly or wavy hair style look elegant. Whether you're wearing your hair up or down, adding an addition like a headband will be an easy upgrade.

Employers can work with Cabrini's extraordinary students and alumni in several ways.
Employers are encouraged to participate in Cabrini's internship program, an optional academic program in which students earn academic credit while working in a professional environment.
The talents of Cabrini students can assist organizations while simultaneously helping students grow and develop as individuals.
Cabrini students may earn credit for both paid and unpaid internships, but employer partners must abide by the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division test for unpaid internships:
The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment.
The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern.
The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff.
The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded.
The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship.
The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship.
Please review the Department of Labor's Fact Sheet #71 for additional information.

Legal Scraps from the Veep Debate
If you legal junkies were hoping for something to fasten to in the Veep debate last night, you probably walked away disappointed. There were a few brief moments, however.
Vice President Joe Biden obliquely referred to Citizens United v. FEC when asked about negative campaigning: "These special new groups that can go out there, raise all the money they want, not have to identify themselves, who say the most scurrilous things about the other candidate. It's — it's an abomination."
ABC's Martha Raddatz asked Mr. Biden and Rep. Paul Ryan to discuss how their religion (both are Catholic) has influenced their views on abortion. That gave Mr. Ryan an opening to discuss the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate:
Now I understand this is a difficult issue, and I respect people who don't agree with me on this, but the policy of a Romney administration will be to oppose abortions with the exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. What troubles me more is how this administration has handled all of these issues. Look at what they're doing through Obamacare with respect to assaulting the religious liberties of this country. They're infringing upon our first freedom, the freedom of religion, by infringing on Catholic charities, Catholic churches, Catholic hospitals.
Our church should not have to sue our federal government to maintain their religious liberties. And with respect to abortion, the Democratic Party used to say they wanted it to be safe, legal and rare. Now they support it without restriction and with taxpayer funding. Taxpayer funding in Obamacare, taxpayer funding with foreign aid. The vice president himself went to China and said that he sympathized and wouldn't second guess their one child policy of forced abortions and sterilizations. That to me is pretty extreme.
Here's how Mr. Biden responded:
With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it absolutely clear. No religious institution, Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic Social Services, Georgetown Hospital, Mercy — any hospital — none has to either refer contraception. None has to pay for contraception. None has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. That is a fact.
Rep. Ryan followed up with a pretty good question: Then why are Catholic institutions suing HHS?
Answer: Because the Obama administration is still in the process of amending the regulations to accommodate religious concerns. In the meantime, the administration has suspended enforcement of the mandate against religious groups until August 2013.
Now, back to the abortion question. Ms. Raddatz asked whether those who support abortion rights should be worried if the Romney-Ryan ticket is elected.
Ryan: We don't think that unelected judges should make this decision; that people, through their elected representatives and reaching a consensus in society through the democratic process, should make this determination.
Biden: The court – the next president will get one or two Supreme Court nominees. That's how close Roe v. Wade is. Just ask yourself, with Robert Bork being the chief adviser on the court for – for Mr. Romney, who do you think he's likely to appoint? Do you think he's likely to appoint someone like Scalia or someone else on the court far right that would outlaw (inaudible) — outlaw abortion? I suspect that would happen.
I guarantee you, that will not happen. We picked two people. We pick people who are open-minded. They've been good justices. So keep an eye on the Supreme Court…
Ryan: Was there a litmus test on them?
Biden: There was no litmus test. We picked people who had an open mind; did not come with an agenda.

TC TO JOHN STERLING ; 14 March 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420314-TC-JOST-01; CL 14: 72-73
Templand, Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, 14 March, 1842—
Dear Sterling,
You have heard, I believe, what tragedy has occurred here; a sudden stroke grievous to Friends of yours: I would have written specially to you an eight days ago, but that I knew your good Mother was to apprise you of what was essential; and then ever since my quitting London, I have been, and still am, driven about in a continual whirl, destructive to all composed expression of thoughts—which do not in any case well fit themselves to utterance in words. Death is great; there is nothing else in Life that, in these days and in all days, still asserts itself as a miracle to the senses and hearts of all men.
My poor Wife has had a severe wound. The event was as good as entirely unexpected: her Mother was one of the kindest of women, whose faults were all of the surface, whose virtues came from instinct and lay deep: the poor Daughter has now no parents, hardly any kindred that was dear to her;—a lonely outlook. Time alone can in some measure assuage such a feeling. Human sympathies too are always a medicine.
She is to get back to Chelsea, so soon [as]1 her Liverpool Uncle (the last Uncle she now has, a good kind son of Nature) gets home from this place; which he expects to do about Wednesday: Jane will probably be home about the end of the week. One of her female cousins whom she likes well is to attend her. You know, I suppose, that she had got as far as Liverpool on the first summons of danger; and that at Liverpool the fatal tidings stopt her. There she still continues. I have got a Note or two, very quiet, but very mournful, very desolate. Pray write a word to her with your first opportunity, tho' I should wait the longer.
There remain here many matters, of a most alien nature, for me to settle. I shall have to take time, and deliberate. My first longing is for absolute solitude; that I might be left to myself and my own thoughts in the middle of these wild hills, and winds. All other discourse at first is poor. The great Earth with her sounding streams and change of seasons; she is still there, and another Life has been absorbed into her mysterious bosom,—stern as very Death, yet beautiful also and true as Heaven and Life. Silence, Silence!—
One of the last things I read was your Article for the F. Quarterly;2 which I liked very much, bating perhaps a little rashness of phraseology here and there. You will write many other articles, I hope; and sound a message into the ears of some. Adieu, dear Sterling; good be ever with you.
Your affectionate /
T. Carlyle

Great suit, great colors
Had to go up 1 size, but it's a great, durable suit. Got the orange-blue colors, and they seem to be holding their color. Great material. Seemed a little snug in the seat, but suit fits great when wet. Just wish I could order another one.

Can't Go Wrong
I am a Tyr Durafast loyalist. Although, this is the first one I've owned lined in the rear. Makes it fit snug in the butt. Same great Tyr Durafast fit and comfort.
Roseville, CA
Fit: Feels true to size
My favorite suit ever
I love the color pattern, fit and style of this suit. The side width is perfect and feels very stylish. The suit fit is awesome even in the surf on the North Shore of Oahu. I love the embordied logo and the color really pops. My suit held up in sand and saltwater.
Denver, CO
One of my favorite suits ever
I love the color pattern, style and fit of this suit. I like that the TYR logo is embrodied. It fit true to size for me. I love the width of the sides they give me the perfect tan.
Patriotic All American in a European way
Good construction, Should hold shape and stand up to chlorine, 4 way stretch feels comfortble and fast in the water, Low rise looks good getting a tan. Tie-Dye pattern and Red White and Blue colors got compliments on July 4th. Sides could be a bit narrower - IMHO.
Great colors- didn't fit well
First, gotta love the colors and pattern. I ordered it in blue-orange. Feels like it's made from durable fabric. Imagine how bummed I felt when I got the suit and found the fit wasn't right for me. I ordered my correct size, which for me is 34. Note, I was not sizing down, but TYR's durafast material doesn't stretch much. Waist fits fine, but it's a bit tight through the seat and pinches my upper leg. I'm a cyclist and lap swim 4-5 times per week, so maybe my legs (quads and glutes) are just bigger than normal?I returned the suit. I'll give 3 stars- I was really on the fence about keeping it even thought the fit was wrong. The suit is that cool.

Annapolis, MD
A favorite
Good construction. Seems like it will keep its shape and stand up to chlorine. Tie-dye pattern is looks good. Style sits low on the hips - which I like. I got the orange and blue colors to subtly tweek the nose of Auburn fans.
Spectacular Colors
The all-around multi-colored (green the primary) design beats any solid (plain-colored) brief. The lining and snug low-rise fit provide excellent support. The drawstring length is ample. And the fabric feels more substantial than any other brand of brief I've used. Therefore, it should withstand pool chemicals longer. I am looking forward to wearing it for both lap swimming and general pool use this summer. It's worth the premium price.
Laurel, MD
Durafast - true to size
I prefer the fit of TYR over other brands. I usually size down for TYR lycra suits, so I did the same with the Durafast. The Durafast doesn't stretch much, so it was too small. I sized up (to my actual size) and it fits great.
One of my favorites
Tyr has got the swim brieft cut-thing just right. It rides just low enough on the hips to not compress belly fat -- and make you look bad, and just high enough not to expose hair and crack. Fantastic-fitting suit and looks good, too. Have the blue and red one and will order another.
Atlanta, GA
Awesome Colors Blue/orange
My sons team colors are blue and orange. The suits colors are bright and the tie dye affect is cool. The problem is we wanted to order more but they don't have the right sizes.

The 4th Annual Redland Blues & Barbecue Festival will be held on the weekend of April 5-6, 2014 on the lush grounds of the Fruit & Spice Park. This event is a favorite of locals and visitors alike because of the fantastic music and absolutely mouthwatering, sizzling good barbecue.
Most attendees will bring a blanket or camp chairs and find their spot in the grass along the curving walkway or right in the middle of the sprawling field. This is one of those festivals where you just plant yourself, get comfortable, kick your feet up and enjoy your surroundings.
Blues and country music fans will be excited by this lineup of bands scheduled to perform:
- Iko Iko
- PitBull Blues
- Jay Blues
- Big City
- Shadow Creek
In addition to the awesome tunes, there will be plenty of activities to keep the little tikes busy including pony rides and a special interactive area from Homestead Speedway. You won't have to worry about them being bored as they can explore the park's 37+ acres of tropical landscape that include a bamboo garden with 70 different varieties (adults love exploring the grounds, too).
Be sure to come hungry because there will be plenty of vendors selling their finger-licking barbeque:
- Big Pig BBQ
- Huckleberry Hillbilly
- Smok'n Hot Ladies BBQ
- Smoke n' Spice BBQ
You may recognize several of those names as they make the rounds in South Florida at the different festivals and cook-offs. They are award-winning, champion grillers and smokers, so you're in for an unbelievable treat, especially if you're a carnivore: ribs, chicken, brisket, pork…and juicy corn on the cob cooked over an open fire. It doesn't get much better than that. Landlubbers, have no fear. The Mango Café onsite offers a nice menu of salads and wraps, and they use herbs grown right out their door for that over-the-top fresh taste. The mango salsa is a definite winner.
Festival hours will be 10 am to 8 pm on Saturday, April 5th, and on Sunday, April 6th, from 10 am to 6 pm. Admission is $8. Kids are free.
The Fruit & Spice Park is a Miami-Dade County Park located at 24801 S.W. 187 Avenue in Homestead, Florida. If you're heading south on Krome Avenue, make a right on S.W. 248th Street; the park will be straight down on your left. Don't forget a hat and sunscreen.
For more info, log on to fruitandspicepark.org or call 305-247-5727. See you there!

not cheap on a debt-adjusted SF basis.
Not many people in the business have contradicted themselves more than Cramer. I do watch him because of sheer information, interviews with CEOs of other companies and because it preceeds my favorite show, The Kudlow Report. But in terms of what he recommends and doesn't, it does not impact my thinking. The fact that he suggested that ConocoPhillips' growth potential is limited is not only laughable but it really speaks to credibility and his knowledge of the company. I've got numerous friends who have owned ExxonMobil stock for over two decades and while they are going to retain their position in Exxon, they all jumped at the low $50's offering of Conoco earlier this month and they all believe Conoco will outperform Exxon in the next five years. The projects Concoco's management has in the hopper that it is committed to in the coming years are well-documented.The reality: Exxon, Chevron and Conoco are excellent high-cap, dividend oil stocks. I don't think you can go wrong with either. But in the $50's with a meaty $2.64 dividend and with management's commitment to continue to pay out its dividend and furthermore grow it, I'm backing the truck up and loading up on COP for the long haul. And yes, I sold my PSX shares a day after the spinoff.
He looks out for Cramer and he knows it. While he has been disgraced before, he realizes that he can move a stock just by mentioning it. I do not listen to him because he is just a showman and after one trip through his show I had enough.My opinion only, and not to detract to the fans who watch him, I get my info. elsewhere.Have a nice weekend everyone!
Cramer is a sob , he is the reason I am in this stock by reccommending it months ago. What did he say exactly , what is SF mean .Janet
The end game for COP is for it to be merged or bought out.

- Registered users only
View at publisher
We compared the effects of the most commonly used respiratory muscle (RM) training regimes: RM endurance training (RMET; normocapnic hyperpnoea) and inspiratory resistive training (IMT), on RM performance. Twenty-six healthy men were randomized into 3 groups performing 4 weeks of RMET, IMT or sham-training. Lung function, RM strength and endurance were tested before and after training. RM fatigue during intermittent hyperpnoea was assessed by twitch oesophageal (P(oes,tw)) and gastric pressures with cervical and thoracic magnetic stimulation. Respiratory sensations (visual analogue scale, 0-10) and blood lactate concentrations ([La]) were assessed during hyperpnoea. RMET increased maximal voluntary ventilation while IMT increased maximal inspiratory pressure. Both RMET and IMT increased vital capacity and RM endurance, but only RMET improved the development of inspiratory muscle fatigue (from -31% to -21% P(oes,tw)), perception of respiratory exertion (4.2+/-0.1 to 2.3+/-2.3 points) and [La] (1.8+/-0.4 to 1.3+/-0.3mmoll(-1)) during hyperpnoea. Whether these specific RMET-induced adaptations observed during hyperpnoea would translate into greater improvements in exercise performance compared to IMT remains to be investigated.

The Player: What Distinguishes A Player From A Jerk?
What Distinguishes
A Player From A Jerk?
Helen: Not necessarily. I just don't want to feel like he suddenly has to get the hell out of there once he's gotten his rocks off. Nobody wants to feel used.
Amy: I just wanted to say that laughter is definitely one of my biggest turn-ons too.
Player: Any particular kind of humor?
Amy: Hmm. It's pretty hard to talk about being funny, you know? I guess I'd say I don't want someone who is mean-spirited, I know that. I mean, it's one thing to cut somebody up for what they're wearing or something superficial like that, but if, I don't know...
Chiara: If the guy starts making really biting, personal comments about people he hardly knows or puts people down just to boost himself up, that's a big warning sign. I don't want to be a notch on some guy's bedpost just to, you know, prop up his fragile ego.
Helen: Exactly. I'll often know that a guy's a really good player if he teases me in a good-natured way without going too far. I remember you giving me a hard time about my attitudes and assumptions about men, which was close enough to the mark but also ridiculous enough to have me in stitches.
Player: Sounds like I should have been harder on you. Anything a guy shouldn't do that we haven't covered here?
Amy: I find a lot of guys are just too cocky. I mean, he has to be confident, and like that thing Chiara said before about not putting other people down, that's important. But I don't want the guy to be so confident and full of himself that he thinks he's God's gift to women.
Chiara: It's that whole bedpost thing. I don't want to feel like he's already thinking how great a story this will be for his buddies. I mean, as long as we've been clear with each other, we both know that this isn't some whirlwind romance. But that doesn't mean that you have to take out the whole courtship factor. He can still act like — and, you know, hopefully he'll feel this way, too — like I'm the only woman he's interested in.
Helen: It's like that thing Gwyneth Paltrow says about Jude Law's character in The Talented Mr. Ripley — that he makes you feel like you're the only woman in the room. Even if I'm not the woman of your dreams or the woman you're going to marry, I want to feel important, right? Don't be checking out other women walking by or be looking down the waitress' cleavage like you're going to dive in. Eyes in front, boy!
Chiara: And turn off your goddamn cell phone unless you absolutely need it!
Player: What about ending it? Is that awkward?
Helen: It doesn't have to be. People have to realize that these things just have a tendency to run their course. Novelty's a big part of it, so when it's not so hot and steamy anymore, some guys will start feeding you lines or making you promises or suddenly asking about your family just to keep it going.
Chiara: Or buying you flowers or other presents.
Helen: Yeah, and that just looks sad. Be mature and realize that even if it's been great, people just move on sometimes, you know? Look, that's what happened with us, and we're still friends!
Player: I think that's a good way to end this. I want to thank you guys for your time. This has been very educational, even for me.
words to the wise No matter how charming you are, you can't always win them over or keep them interested forever. If a woman turns you down, remain a gentleman. Don't be a jerk. Otherwise, it may come back to bite you in the ass.

Polycrystalline samples and single crystals of SmFeAs1−xPxO1−y were synthesized and grown employing different synthesis methods and annealing conditions. Depending on the phosphorus and oxygen content, the samples are either magnetic or superconducting. In the fully oxygenated compounds, the main impacts of phosphorus substitution are to suppress the Néel temperature TN of the spin density wave (SDW) state and to strongly reduce the local magnetic field in the SDW state, as deduced from muon spin rotation measurements. On the other hand, the superconducting state is observed in the oxygen-deficient samples only after heat treatment under high pressure. Oxygen deficiency as a result of synthesis at high pressure brings the Sm-O layer closer to the superconducting As/P-Fe-As/P block and provides additional electron transfer. Interestingly, the structural modifications in response to this variation of the electron count are significantly different when phosphorus is partly substituting arsenic. Point contact spectra are well described with two superconducting gaps. Magnetic and resistance measurements on single crystals indicate an in-plane magnetic penetration depth of ∼200 nm and an anisotropy of the upper critical field slope of ∼4–5.

2000 Cadillac DeVille from North America
Sweet misery
The torque converter clutch has gone bad at 80k. It's pretty much unnoticeable. I drive 80mph a lot on open highways, and now get 23-24 mpg instead of 25-26 mpg.
I also have the shrinking dash syndrome.
General Comments:
I have had an absolutely trouble free, 7 years and 70k miles with this car. No vibrations, greatly improved handling since installing Michelin X tires. I have never even had the front end aligned, and it still tracks perfectly straight and steering is tight. I still fall in love with this thing every time I get in it.
PROBLEM: It will cost $2500-3000 to fix the TCC, an entire new rebuilt trans installed. The car is only worth $3000. These things are next to impossible to sell, even in good running condition. I would just run it, but it won't pass smog with the SES light on. I am a former stock car racer, I used to have the engine out of my car in 30 minutes. These cars are miserable to work on. I have an aftermarket service manual and under transmission removal it says "take it to dealership". Does anyone know if the 2006 DTS has the same issues?
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

The 58-year-old Van Nostrand Avenue man said he was cleaning out his car near Harmon Street at 10:25 p.m. when the man and woman approached him and asked for money, reports said.
When the victim told them he had no money to give them, the man shoved him and demanded his car keys, reports said. The pair then got into the 1991 Honda Accord and drove west on Bates Street, reports said.
The victim described the man as 6 feet 6 inches tall, wearing white sweat pants and a white parka, reports said, adding that the woman was 5 feet tall and wearing a blue/green parka.
The victim said both were wearing blue JCMC wristbands, reports said.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Jersey City police tip line at (201) 547-JAIL.

Larry McDonough: Aja
Larry McDonough (piano, Fender Rhodes)
Simple Gifts (LM Jazz)
Larry McDonough (piano, Fender Rhodes),
Richard Terrill (tenor, soprano saxes), Craig Matarrese (bass, electric bass), Chaz Draper (drums).
Composed by Donald Fagen & Walter Becker.
Recorded: July 2004
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
What's that cliché? Something about not discussing religion and politics in a barroom? If music and/or rock nerds are involved in the conversation, I would suggest avoiding the topic of Steely Dan as well. Given a cursory listen, you wouldn't think that the music of Fagen & Becker would be so polarizing, but I'm telling you, the spittle will fly! Are they rock? Jazz? Pseudo-reggae? Too slick? Well, this isn't a barroom, it's the Internet. Sure, it can be something of an electronic barroom, but I'll take that chance. Obviously this version of "Aja" shows the jazzier side of Steely Dan. The sax lines of Richard Terrill and leader Larry McDonough's fine Fender Rhodes lines bring into stark relief the song's many contours. McDonough keeps with the spirit of the original as well, by accentuating the energy gained by the many start-&-stop passages that amp things up as the composition winds its way toward a conclusion. Jazz or rock? Sorry, but that question misses the point. Have another beer.

Problems with 2.0_BETA
Frank Wennmohs <frankw <at> bph.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>
Hello all! For the last few days I gave 2.0_BETA a try. I built it on my 1.6ZF on acorn32 and it created the sets flawlessly. But some things weren't the way they were supposed to be: The machine obviously had problems creating the disklabel. As I used the disklabel of a previous installation, this was not much trouble. Otherwise the creation of UFS2 partitions was ok. I tried ipfilter, but when booting the machine with ipfilter=YES and ipmon=YES the machine hangs after reporting a 'ne0: frame too large ....'. When I start ipfilter manually without these flags in rc.conf, it works! When compiling xsrc, too be more precise, the Xserver itself, it complains about some include file missing, all of them dealing with the system beep. Frank

Undergrads continue two-year winning-streak, with first-place in MSU supply chain competition
A team of students from Fisher took first place, for the second year in a row, in Michigan State University's Broad College of Business's fourth annual undergraduate supply chain competition.
Aaron Alpeter, Renee Hornbostel and Dominic Shaw participated in the MSU Undergraduate Supply Chain Challenge, March 22-23, 2012, at the James B. Henry Center for Executive Development on MSU's campus.
"The students were all able to learn something from the SCODE simulation – what can go wrong and how to balance the results," said David Closs, the John H. McConnell Chaired Professor of Business Administration at Broad College. "It isn't about doing one thing best. To be a Supply Chain professional today, you have to balance all of the factors involved, from environmental variables to selecting a global operations strategy and making week-to-week operating decisions for the firm."

First Middle Market Indicator gives data, analysis on sector
The National Center for the Middle Market (NCMM) today announced that the middle market, a leading indicator of America's future competitiveness, grew at a rate of 8.4% in the past year, but expects future revenue growth will slow according to findings unveiled today in the first Middle Market Indicator (MMI), a look at the health and outlook of middle market companies in the United States. The NCMM is a partnership between The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business and GE Capital.
The survey, conducted in March, found more than 70% of companies reported increased gross revenue in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Fewer than two in ten, or 16%, of companies said that revenue had deteriorated.
