Just bought it off the App Store! Great app providing you with in-depth modular synthesis at a low cost. (11 norwegian kroners (aprox. £1) There's some cons though; A bit heavy for the phone and a bit tedious to operate at some times.
But all in all: great work! :)

What to expect when taking your first surf lesson?
Depending on where you take your first surf lesson, you may be greeted with a whole body wet suit or just a short sleeve rashguard. Here in Costa Rica you can always expect to be greeted with second option. While rashguards do help with the cold, the main objective is skin protection on your chest and stomach. Properly outfitted and sun-protected it's time to get your surfboard and learn how to properly carry it to the beach. On reaching the beach,l set your board on the sand with fins up. Face the deck of the board up to the sky and the sun melts the wax leaving a big mess. Keep your board in the shade or the deck always facing down.
Safety is very important at Sunset Surf School. We make sure everyone is very clear on all safety measures. After our short warm up and stretch, we talk about "rip tides;" how to spot them, how they are formed, and most importantly how to get out if ever caught by one. We teach the parts of a surfboard to keep everyone on the same page during lessons. For example, "hands on the deck, "face the nose to the horizon," or "make sure your leash is on your back foot," contain common terms we all need to know. Many surf school instructors forget to go over the surfboard parts because they think its obvious, which is dangerous when trying to communicate while in the ocean.
We always ask, "has anyone snowboarded or skateboarded before;" usually we get some hands in the air and we recommend their same foot will go forward on a surfboard. For the everyone else, we first teach them the proper mechanics to "pop up", then have them lie down on the sand and "pop" up to their feet. Whichever foot they pop up in front without thinking about it, is their front foot. Having your right foot forward is called "goofy footed" and your left foot forward that is called "regular footed."
After multiple pop ups on the sand with our coaching staff keeping a close eye making corrections, we then teach you how to manipulate your board safely through the white water. On your first day you will only go into the ocean waist to chest deep and learn how to spin your board, paddle and catch a white water wave on your own, pop up to your feet with proper mechanics and having the correct stance, and you will be able to turn your board a little. Your first surf lesson is all about getting comfortable in the ocean with a surfboard being connected to your ankle and creating good muscle memory while "popping up" to your feet multiple times. It's amazing how quick you can learn to surf when using the proper techniques.
This makes your next surf lesson, our advanced beginner lesson, a whole lot easier. The training gets into the next realm of surfing: paddling out beyond the breakers, turtle rolling, surf etiquette, choosing a wave, spinning your board, matching board and wave speed and executing the pop up riding down the wave face. The details of the advanced beginner lesson are covered in our next blog. Until then, if you have any questions about surf lessons please feel free to contact us and remember to surf safely.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she will be running again in 2014, claiming that she has "already started the paperwork process," and declared in an email, as reported at the Hill, that her "work is not finished."
Pelosi, who tweeted Thursday that she sat down with the Huffington Post's Laura Basset to discuss the "GOP's extreme attacks on women's rights," will likely be continuing the trend of bashing Republicans as her main campaign strategy.
As far as trashing her opponents, Pelosi has a particular disdain for Tea Party republicans.
In fact, on Tuesday, Pelosi told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren that the Republican party
"...is being driven by an ideological extreme sect within the party that is anti-government. They wanted to shut it down."
Van Susteren, thankfully, pushed back on the stupid statement, which has also been made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, as reported at the Examiner.
Van Susteren asked, "Anti or limited government?"
Pelosi responded,
"Well, they shut it down. They are anti-government, anti-science so any of the initiatives about science and anti-Obama. So it's a trifecta that they have -- I'm not painting everyone with that brush. I'm saying that the Republicans as a grand ole party should take back their party through the force that they have been, and really dominate the debate but not cut off the debate."
In November, Pelosi said that Democrats would be running on Obamacare. NBC quoted the House Minority Leader as saying,
"Democrats stand tall in support of the Affordable Care Act..."
It will be interesting to see how much she touts Obamacare during her campaign.

"Ouch that smarts," are three little words heard round the nation on the morning after the Fourth of July. It's debatably the most popular outdoor of the year with celebrants hitting the beaches, pools, parks, hiking trails and everywhere under the scorching sun.
Of course most of my beauty column readers know enough to slather themselves with strong sun protection, wear hats and even special UV-ray shielded shirts. But for those of you who throw caution to the wind, and let it rip or burn, skincare expert Jan Marini president and CEO of Jan Marini Skin Research has shared her emergency sunburn tip:
Jan's Calm a Sunburn Rx:
- Take aspirin tablets and crush them. Mix the crushed tablets with water or milk. Apply over the sunburned area like a poultice and leave on for 10 or 15 minutes.
- Aspirin is a powerful anti-inflammatory and can assist in decreasing the redness associated with sunburns and will also lessen the pain.
- ·Better yet, if you have access to an over-the counter topical aspirin analgesic cream such as those used for joint pain and muscle aches, rub that into the sunburned area.
How to Treat Painful and Peeling Skin:
- When your sunburn is at its most angry, painful redness, try soaking in an oatmeal bath. Oatmeal contains soothing anti-inflammatories that can help with pain and lessen redness.
- Keeping sunburned skin moisturized will make the surface feel softer and more hydrated, but there is no way to completely avoid peeling. That outer layer of dead, burned skin will shed sooner or later.
Still the best way to treat is a sunburn is to avoid one. So please gals and guy cover up before hitting the sun, read some of my past columns to find the best sun prevention products on the market. Drink lots of water when im the sun. Alcholic beverages dehydrate and so does the sun.
Just to keep things unbiased, we've attached a video on other sunbrun remedies.

College Hockey:Falcons Put a Halt to Bemdij State's Fast Start
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Four different Falcons scored goals as Air Force upset No. 15 Bemidji State, 4-3, in a CHA game Friday at the Cadet Ice Arena. The game was the first conference game for both teams.
Air Force broke a 13-game losing streak to the Beavers. Falcon coach Frank Serratore also earned his first win over his younger brother, Tom. Tom was 15-0-1 in the last 16 games against his older brother.
The Falcons broke a four-game losing streak and improved to 2-5 overall and 1-0 in the CHA. BSU suffered its first defeat of the season and fell to 4-1 overall and 0-1 in the CHA.
On the game's opening shift, Air Force scored as Brian Gineo netted his third of the season. After winning the opening draw, Theo Zacour's shot hit the post from the right faceoff dot. Mike Knaeble passed it though the crease to Gineo at the far post for a 1-0 lead 13 seconds into the game.
Freshman Mike Phillipich's first career goal came at the 8:31 mark from Eric Ehn and Michael Mayra on a wrister from the faceoff circle. The Falcons took a 3-0 lead when Jay Medenwaldt scored his third of the season. Brooks Turnquist made a pass up the ice and Knaeble chased it near the corner. He made a pass back to the top of the circle to Medenwaldt who was skating down the left wing. His slap shot beat Matt Climie at the 16:08 mark of the first period.
With 3:37 left in the period, Falcon center Theo Zacour was called for a five-minute checking-from-behind major and an automatic game misconduct. With 49 seconds left in the period, Bryan Becker was called for high sticking, giving the Beavers a five-on-three. With five seconds left in the period, Tyler Scofield scored from right in front of the net from Ryan Miller and Luke Erickson. Miller tipped a pass through the slot to Scofield near the right post and he netted his first of the season.
Bemidji scored early in the second period while still on the major penalty power play. Erickson collected the puck near the corner and sent a centering pass through the crease. Matt Pope tipped it in to make the score 3-2 at the 1:19 mark.
With just 38 seconds left in the second period, Turnquist scored his second of the season on the power play. Andrew Ramsey and Brian Reese passed the puck from the corner to the point and then across to Turnquist whose slap shot beat Climie.
Early in the third period, Jake Bluhm cut the Falcon lead to 3-2 with his second goal of the season. Erickson sent the puck up the boards and Bluhm scored on a breakaway coming down the right wing.
With 28 seconds left, BSU pulled Climie from the net, but was unable to tie the game.
Air Force out-shot BSU, 10-5 in the first period and 25-22 in the game. AFA was 1-for-7 on the power play while BSU was 2-for-6. Climie made 21 saves while Foster made 19 for the Falcons.
The same two teams conclude the CHA series Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at the Cadet Ice Arena.

Very few subjects raise the ire of women quicker than finding out their man watches porn even when they're in a relationship. Most women feel there is no reason for porn. Heck, he can have sex with the real thing! Why would he want to watch some disgusting tramp do things no sane woman would ever do?
Ladies, I have some bad news for you. Men LOVE sex. They love thinking about it. They love plotting to get it. They love the act itself. But they really, REALLY like watching others do it! We're visual creatures. I'm not making excuses for this, as it is just the way we're wired. Not better or worse than women, just different. And visual stuff really gets us off.
If watching porn reduces a man's sex drive with their partner, or interferes with their normal sex life then yes, it is a problem. And there are therapists that specifically deal with porn addiction.
But a normal, healthy male likes to watch attractive people have sex. It doesn't mean we're comparing you to them. THEY aren't sleeping with us, you are! So we know which side of the bread our butter is on. Women get testy over the following comparison, but just because we drive a minivan full of kids doesn't mean we won't look with lust in our eyes at that new Corvette or Porsche that is always in the parking lot at work. Would we love to drive one? SURE! But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate our van and what it does for us.
I can look at that Dallas Cheerleader, Swedish Bikini Team captain or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and admire their astounding beauty and then happily snuggle up to my sweat-pant and dirty t-shirt wearing girlfriend for a night of reality TV.
Beauty is wonderful, whether it is a painting, sculpture, automobile or photograph and it can be enjoyed just for that. But snuggling up to your sweetie on a cold winter's night trumps all that stuff no matter what she looks like. Or maybe she's saying exactly the same thing about ME…
I think part of the issue is that there is such a WIDE variety of porn. Some of it is just disgusting, no question. But there is a huge emerging market for high quality, beautifully shot videos for couples and women. Let's not lump all porn into the same category. There are significant differences between Playboy and any other printed magazine. Yes, the articles really are well written! There is probably an even greater range in video. Playboy still has the best soft porn (no penetration) in the industry. But there are some great up-and-coming production companies vying for Playboy's market. Check out the titles from Hegre-art, Nubile Films or Eros Exotica which is actually an amazingly high quality how-to site dealing with everything from initial seduction through fellatio all the way to – well, I'll let you fill in the blanks here!
So before you have a huge fight over porn, take an evening and explore what's out there together. You may find some videos that open dialog about some personally taboo subject you've been too afraid to admit intrigues you. And that could lead to some interesting trials. Hey, homework could get a lot worse…

One of seven assistants who came to Northern Illinois with head coach Jerry Kill from Southern Illinois, Pat Poore enters his 26th year as a collegiate coach in 2010.
After tutoring the Huskie quarterbacks for the past two seasons, Poore moves over to coach the NIU wide receivers in 2010.
In his first two seasons at NIU, Poore oversaw the development of quarterbacks Chandler Harnish and DeMarcus Grady, as NIU advanced to bowl games in back-to-back seasons behind the duo. In 2009, Northern Illinois scored over 28.6 points per game to rank among the top teams in the MAC and the Huskies' quarterbacks contributed to NIU's ranking as the top rushing team in the league as they ranked third and fourth on the squad
From 2003-07, Poore's quarterbacks produced some of the most efficient attacks in the Football Championship Subdivision. Poore-coached quarterbacks finished 15th, second, 13th, seventh and third in the nation (FCS) in passing efficiency, and rewrote the SIU record book.
In 2007, Poore apprentice Nick Hill led the best passing attack in Saluki history. Hill broke five single-season school records, posted a 4:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and ranked 18th nationally in total offense. Under Poore's tutelage, Hill completed more than 70 percent of his passes in seven games en route to earning a spot on the Sports Network All-America Team.
Prior to Hill's tenure at Southern Illinois, Poore coached 2004 Gateway Conference Player of the Year Joel Sambursky, who still holds three SIU records and is second to Hill in five other categories.
Before joining Kill at Southern Illinois, Poore was an assistant coach at Central Oklahoma (1999-2000), Tarleton State (1997-1999) and Panhandle State (1995-96). He also served as head coach at Iowa Wesleyan (1994-95), where he previously worked as an assistant coach from 1992-94.
Poore's coaching career has also included stops at the Colorado School of Mines (1990-91) and the University of Chicago (1991-92), where he was on the coaching staff with current Huskie offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover.
Poore started his coaching career at his alma mater, Fort Hays State in Kansas. At FHSU, Poore coached defensive backs and special teams as a graduate assistant from 1985-86 while earning his master's degree in physical education. After graduation, Poore continued to coach defensive backs and took on the role of head baseball coach. A year later, he left baseball to become the football team's offensive coordinator, a position he held until 1989.
In 1984, Poore earned his bachelor's degree in education from Fort Hays State, where he wrapped up his playing career. As a defensive back, Poore earned first team NAIA District 10 honors. The four-year letterwinner held the school record for interceptions.
Poore and his wife, Gwen, the athletic director at Elgin High School, have two children, Trevor (23) and Taylor (21).

MADISON, Wis. — The transition to playoff intensity wasn't too far of a leap for No. 14 Wisconsin.
"We've been playing playoff hockey since November when we started off the season 1-7-2," Badgers' captain John Ramage said. "It was just another game."
Ramage scored the go-ahead goal in the second period and Wisconsin scraped out a 3-1 victory over Minnesota-Duluth in Game 1 of their WCHA first-round playoff series on Friday.
Ramage also assisted on Nic Kerdiles' tying goal earlier in the second period for the Badgers, who can close out the best-of-three series and advance to the WCHA Final Five with a win Saturday or, if necessary, Sunday.
The teams brought an level of grittiness that matched the do-or-die series scenario. Wisconsin (18-12-7) is hanging on to a bubble spot in the race for at-large bids to the NCAA tournament, but started the day on the outside looking in.
Minnesota-Duluth (14-18-5) is out of the at-large berth picture.
The Bulldogs overcame a rough start to score first but couldn't hold on.
"In the third period when we could have started pushing back, we didn't as much as we could have," said Bulldogs' goaltender Aaron Crandall, who made 30 saves. "But it's a one-goal game [with an empty-netter]; it could have gone either way. We've just got to forget this one as quick as possible."
Mark Zengerle was involved in all three Wisconsin goals, including an insurance goal deposited dead center into an empty net from about 150 feet away with 22 seconds left.
After Dan DeLisle put the Bulldogs ahead in the first period, Zengerle set up the tying goal in the second.
He won a faceoff back to Ramage, who returned the puck to Zengerle for a shot that Kerdiles redirected past Crandall.
Later in the second period, Ramage put Wisconsin ahead when his shot from near the blue line got through traffic in front of the net and past Crandall's stick side.
"We know exactly what we needed to do to win," Ramage said, "and we got the job done tonight."
Minnesota-Duluth fell to 0-5 in WCHA playoff games played in Madison — the others were series in 1978 and 1991 — and saw a four-game winning streak and a five-game unbeaten run end.
The Bulldogs allowed eight of the game's first nine shots, but put themselves ahead in the first period when DeLisle slid in a feed from Caleb Herbert.
One game after going five-for-eight on the power play in a 6-0 victory over Nebraska-Omaha, the Bulldogs were scoreless on three power-play attempts, with five shots on goal in those six minutes.
The Badgers, playing their first home playoff game since the run to the Frozen Four in 2010, improved to 11-1-5 when not allowing a power-play goal. They're 7-11-2 when the opponent scores with the man advantage.
The Badgers know they'll face a big hurdle in Saturday's Game 2.
"Everybody knows in that room that the hardest thing to do is end somebody's season," Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves said. "The way that we conducted our business tonight, for the most part we need to do that same tomorrow if we want to try to finish it."

Four students enrolled in the automotive technology, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air-conditioning), and welding programs at Columbus Tech have an additional 625 dollars to help pay for college. The money is part of a scholarship donated by the Grainger Foundation to Columbus Technical College in support of its mission of providing a quality workforce education. The scholarship is managed through the Columbus Technical College Foundation.
"This grant is being used to provide scholarships for qualified students in these specific trade and industry-driven programs," said Meredith Yoe, dean of the school of professional and technical services. "We are so grateful to the Grainger Foundation for its generosity."
Yoe says these kind of programs are vital to the greater Columbus area in that they provide community service through donated work. It's a win-win for everyone since the students learn how to hone their skills through real-life situations.
Students seeking the financial helping hand from the Grainger Foundation must submit an application that includes a 300 word essay, be in good academic standing, and provide at least one instructor recommendation. In his essay, Army veteran Gary Bruce wrote about his dream of providing a better life for his three children through his love of restoring cars. He already has a diploma from Columbus Tech's automotive technology program and is working on a diploma in welding.
"With this scholarship, I could afford to purchase a welder which would be a start to acquiring the necessary tools to be able to repair frames, exhaust systems, body panels, and hard to find or expensive parts."
Chris Davis graduated from the major appliance repair program and is now enrolled as an HVAC student.
"This is a field that I am pursuing hard and with 100 percent," Davis wrote. "I enjoy the hands-on process, the troubleshooting and diagnosis of the units, and figuring out the problem to make them work."
Leighton "Brent" Rollins plans on using his scholarship money to purchase tools needed to start his new life in the automotive repair field. He has big dreams for life after his scheduled graduation in 2013.
"I plan on joining a team at a large dealership in order to acquire a higher salary and better benefits. Even after starting my new career, I plan on continuing to better myself by attending evening classes to keep abreast of new technology and keep my mind sharp."
Ricky Kopec's family is surviving on one income while he attends school. He also plans on using the welcomed scholarship money to purchase welding supplies and assist with tuition.
"Welding school is a top priority right now in order to better myself and create more stability and support for my family," Kopec wrote. "This new career path has helped me to build more confidence in my skills, as well as in my day-to-day life."
This donation was recommended by Brian Brock, Branch Manager of W.W. Grainger, Inc.'s Columbus location. Grainger has been a part of the Columbus business community for more than 20 years as the leading broad line supplier of maintenance, repair, and operating products.
"We are proud to recommend the programs offered by Columbus Technical College," said Brock. "We understand the need for highly skilled, well educated people to join the workforce and keep our community productive."
The Grainger Foundation, an independent, private foundation based in Lake Forest, Illinois, was established in 1949 by William W. Grainger, founder of W.W. Grainger, Inc. For further information about Grainger contact: Kristen Lawrence, Communications Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com

Great Ref.
By dvbrooks
from Corner Al.
Very pleased with performance so far. A little less storage but expected that from a counter depth. Lowered the value rating just a little because I don't think you should have to pay so much extra just to get a counter depth.
Love the look & features
By Tuscanyguy
WE just had this installed and so far we LOVE the product, it is EVERYTHING we could have asked for !
Great design!

we purchased the cabinet depth model and not only love the design but also all of the special features like the quick door which conserves energy.
Great Refrigerator: Ice in door takes up a lot of space on inside of door
By ChicagoResident
from Chicago, IL, USA
Overall, this is a great refrigerator. The ice in the door takes up a lot of room but there was no model without ice in the door that would fit our space. The "display" door is a nice add-on although I don't see it as a major benefit. I like the temperature display on the door and the warning if the door is left open for more than 3 minutes. The adjustable shelf for tall pots is fantastic. I wish that the shelves could be adjusted on either side rather than having to adjust the height of the entire shelf. Sometimes half of a shelf being raised is what I need. Overall, I recommend this unit and am happy with Samsung.
Very stylish and well produced
By Plh95
from New Orleans, LA
Bought this for my freshly remodelled house, fits in perfectly and love the stainless steal finish. A perfectly made product, highly recommend.
Samsung Pro and Con
By FrenchOldLady
from Seneca SC
Love the Samsung refrigerator. It is quiet, efficient, design is almost perfect. Has plenty of room for a counter depth refrigerator which is great. Now the only con is, it did not come with an ice bucket, and you can't make enough ice for entertaining, which I wasn't aware of at the time of purchase. It is still a great refrigerator so far and we are extremely happy with it.
Great Counter Depth
By GLOreview
Great alternative to the 4 door flex model. Since the 4 door flex would not fit with my cabinets due to its height. Love the fridge.

Wednesday 28th of September -Saturday 29th of October 2016.
Throughout the month of October John will be conducting local nature trails either on foot or by bicycle. There will be at least three per week and can be a combination of either walking or cycling, if so preferred. October is a great time to see the local countryside. It is still warm and the hoards of summer have left but here are still a number of restaurants open. Suggested trails are; by foot along the beach to Palamos via Castell, Cami de Ronda from Llafranc to Tamariu, forest walk up to Fitor which is that part of the Gavares hills above Palafrugell or the Costal path around Begur. Because it is fairly flat, cycling is an easy option and of course you can cover a lot more in a day out. [Read more…]

Box Score |
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The No. 24 ranked University of Alabama baseball team (24-13, 8-5 SEC) defeated the Tennessee Volunteers (19-15, 2-11 SEC) by a score of 8-2 in Thursday night action at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
The Tide earned the win on the efforts of senior righty Nathan Kilcrease (5-2, 3-2 SEC) who pitched a solid 7.0 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out five. The win at The Joe marks Kilcrease's fifth of the year, the most for a Tide pitcher at home this season.
"He (Kilcrease) just beats you up with strikes," UA head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "He throws three pitches at any time and typically works ahead. Our team is so confident when he is on the mound. You see us play our best defense when he is on the mound because they are so confident he is going to put us in position to win the game."
Tennessee starter Rob Catapano (2-3, 0-3 SEC) took the loss for UT, lasting only 2.1 innings while allowing five earned runs on six hits.
Alabama also received a solid offensive day from Austen Smith and Andrew Miller. The Tide sluggers went a combined 6-for-8, scoring three runs and three RBI for the night, all coming from Miller. Smith was 3-for-5 with two runs scored and Brett Booth was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.
"I think our guys have done a great job of responding after a tough weekend at Vanderbilt," Gaspard added. "We emphasized putting the weekend behind us, let's learn from it, but really get after this week and keep it rolling. Right now we're in a better place offensively than we've been throughout the season."
After a leadoff walk to open the game, Tennessee second baseman Khayyan Norfolk proceeded to second on a sac bunt and then stole third. A single to right field by the cleanup hitter brought Norfolk around to set the score at 1-0.
Alabama took the lead in the bottom half of the frame. With the bases loaded, Miller slapped a single through the right side to plate two runners. Booth followed with an RBI single of his own, bringing in one more run to set the Tide's lead at 3-1.
The Tide added two more runs in the bottom of the third when a high fly from Gregory made its way into the lights and eventually fell to the ground in center, untouched. The Gregory double allowed both runners to score, as Gregory finished the game 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored.
Miller added another run to his and the Tide total in the bottom of the fifth when an infield single brought in Smith to boost the score to 6-1.
Alabama added another run in the bottom of the sixth. With runners on the corners again, a shallow sac fly from Jared Reaves allowed a speedy Gregory to tag up and slide across the dish just before the tag, adding one and increasing the lead to 7-1. Reaves was 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored.
Kilcrease allowed his second run on the game in the seventh on a sac fly to right that plated the Vol from third, setting the score at 7-2 through seven.
Alabama matched UT in the bottom half, adding a one more run to its total. A bases-loaded walk for James Tullidge helped bring across Miller, bringing the tally to 8-2.
Tide reliever Jonathan Smart came in to finish out the night, going 2.0 innings and striking out three Vols in the process.
Alabama and Tennessee return to action tomorrow evening with a 6:30 p.m. start Sewell-Thomas. Friday's contest will be a Southpaw standoff, with juniors Adam Morgan (4-2, 2-1 SEC) and Steven Gruver (3-4, 0-4 SEC) going for the Tide and Vols, respectively. The game will not feature postgame fireworks due to weather concerns.

Nevertheless I was playing with my toys here earlier and came across what's probably still my favorite traditional fixed blade. Yes I have gone on to flashier and more expensive knives but this one was my first and truthfully I won't ever find one that's truly better. It needs a good sharpening, but other than that it still looks as it did when I got it at the age of 10.
But as I started to put it away, I looked at it again and noticed it held an uncanny similarity to what's definitely my favorite handgun. Sure I'll probably go on to flashier and more expensive handguns but this one was my first and I doubt I'll ever find one that's truly better.
Horrible picture but you get the idea. Am I imagining things?

Considering their less-than-favorable maiden voyage, it must be fate that Doug Danielson and his wife, Karen, took to sailing so passionately. The Southern California newlyweds had accepted an invitation to sail to Catalina Island, but the boat owner and the rest of the crew drank so heavily—not the Danielsons' cup of tea—that the inexperienced couple had to sail the boat back on their own. Once on dry land, Doug and Karen said to one another, "We really liked this, but we need to do it on our own." So they began taking lessons on a 27-foot sailboat, thus beginning the story of one of Banderas Bay's most exemplary boating families, their three sons having inherited their passion for all things nautical.
A former architect, Doug's love affair with Banderas Bay began in the '70s when they first visited the region. It was Puerto Vallarta's proximity to the ocean, along with the locals' friendliness, that convinced them they would retire here. During the late '80s, the US economy began a downward shift that forced Doug to close his firm. When Karen insisted he take advantage of his captain's license and marina-design background, they began running charter sailing trips.
One of their first jobs involved sailing a boat from Costa Rica to Puerto Vallarta. Upon arrival, the sailboat owners flew home, and the Danielsons quickly became involved with the local boating community, living on the boat and staying at downtown Vallarta's former Molino de Agua hotel from time to time "just for kicks." Their fondness for the neighborhood remains to this day.
Doug, who had previously written articles for trade magazines, began writing short stories while convalescing from surgery in 2000. He now has two published novels, two manuscripts under consideration and two non-fiction books about cruising. This success has led to an ambassadorial duty, frequently fielding questions through his website, www.doug-danielson.com, from folks considering sailing to Puerto Vallarta or retiring here. "Not only is Puerto Vallarta the best place to get boat repair done," he comments, "Puerto Vallarta has an international community like no other. There are arts, music and plenty of opportunities to participate in community projects. There are other great places in Mexico near the water, but they do not match Puerto Vallarta's amenities."
At 71 and having just celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary, Doug continues to enjoy "a good life," sailing around the world and gathering ideas for books he's yet to write. "Boating is something you never get tired of. And if you start your children in it as an activity while they're young, it will teach them lessons about life that they could not learn anywhere else. There's always a safe harbor at the end of the storm."

Call him what you will, he certainly will have a fast comeback for you. Though it may sting, it is all meant in good humor. It was on this day, May 8, 1926 Don Rickles was born. People who know him say he has a heart of gold.
After the Golden Era of Hollywood ended, Don Rickles is one man still living to tell his tales. One of the most respected talents in entertainment, Rickles aspired to be a serious actor and studied drama at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. His classmates included Grace Kelly, Anne Bancroft and Jason Robards. Dissatisfied with the number of acting roles he was offered he started doing stand-up in the night clubs, toiling for over 20 years sharpening his wit and honing his insult routines.
Don made his film debut in Run Silent Run Deep (1958). The movie was a big hit. Afterward, Rickles continued acting, starring in films like X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963), Bikini Beach (1964), Enter Laughing (1967), and Kelly's Heroes (1970).
In 1973, Don became a regular on Dean Martin's Celebrity Roasts. From 1973 until 1984, Don appeared frequently on Dean's show, paying tribute to some of his friends, like Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and was even the roast master on the roast for Dean Martin himself.
In 1976, Don had his own TV series "C.P.O. Sharkey" (1976), which enjoyed a two year run.
After 1984, Don began taking it easy, appearing in a few minor film roles. But in 1995, Don made a big comeback, appearing with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in Toy Story (1995) in the role of the grouchy Mr. Potato Head. In 1999, he returned as Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 2 (1999).
When asked by Jay Leno if he ever worries that his insult comedy might be too offensive for the audience, he answered "You know, every night when I go out on stage, there's always one nagging fear in the back of my mind. I'm always afraid that somewhere out there, there is one person in the audience that I'm *not* going to offend!"
But he has also been known to say, "If I were to insult people and mean it, that wouldn't be funny."
He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Live Theatre at 6834 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Defending Pac-10 Champion UCLA opened up the 2002 conference season with a win on Oct. 11, defeating No. 5 Cal, 1-0 at Drake Stadium. UCLA scored the game's only goal in the 25th minute on a header by Bruin forward Lindsay Greco. Jill Oakes was credited with the assist. The Bruins dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker to No. 2 Stanford two days later, despite outshooting the Cardinal, 12-5. Stanford midfielder Callie Withers scored the game-winner on a free kick in the fifth minute of the match.
Bruins Ranked No. 7 in NSCAA/adidas, No. 6 in Soccer America
After posting a 1-1 record against two top-5 teams, UCLA jumped five spots to No. 7 this week in the NSCAA/adidas National Poll. Soccer America dropped UCLA down a spot from No. 5 to No. 6 this week. The Bruins check in at No. 4 in the West Region this week, behind Stanford, Portland and Santa Clara.

Stanford Match to Air on Oct. 17
UCLA's match against Stanford this past Sunday will be broadcast by Fox Sports Net this Thursday at Noon. Fans in Southern California can see that match on Fox Sports West. An archived audio version of that match can also be accessed on UCLA's website uclabruins.com.
Swanson, Greco Climbing Career Charts
Bruin junior Sarah-Gayle Swanson and redshirt sophomore Lindsay Greco rank in the top-10 in several UCLA career categories. Swanson currently ranks sixth all time at UCLA in points (53) and goals (21). She is also eighth in assists (11) and fifth in game-winning goals (8). Greco on the other hand is not far behind, ranking eighth in both points (43) and goals (17).
UCLA vs. the NSCAA/adidas Top-25
UCLA is currently 2-3 against teams ranked in the NSCAA/adidas top-25. The Bruins' two victories came against No. 5 Virginia and No. 5 Cal. UCLA's losses have been against No. 2 Stanford, No. 11 Santa Clara and No. 12 Penn State.
Mora Takes Over Scoring Lead
With her goal against Santa Clara on Oct. 4, freshmen forward Iris Mora took over the team lead in scoring, previously held by fellow freshman Katie Rivera. Mora has tallied all of her 14 points on goals with seven. She is also the only Bruin this year to record a hat trick, achieving that feat against San Francisco on Sept. 13 at the Outrigger Classic in Hawaii. Mora, who is also a starting forward on the Mexican National Team, scored a goal against UCLA in a 2-1 loss to the Bruins in an exhibition on Sept. 28.
National Team Duties
Both Jill Oakes and Nandi Pryce have missed matches this year while playing for various U.S. National Teams. Oakes was unable to play in the Bruins' season opener against San Diego because of her involvement at the Under-19 Women's World Cup in Canada. Pryce was called into a four-day camp with the Full U.S. squad in Columbus, Ohio in early Sept., forcing her to miss the Virginia match on 9/6.

<b>95 PTS Wine Spectator
Incredible nose of crushed berries, flowers, spices and nuts. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Powerful and solid. Builds on the palate. Give it time. (Web-2007)
92 PTS The Wine Advocate
As I have said many times since I first tasted this wine, the 1995 Calon-Segur is one of the great sleepers of the vintage (I bought the wine as a future for a mere $250 a case). The wine has closed down completely since bottling, but it is a sensational effort that may ultimately merit an even higher score. The wine is opaque purple-colored. With coaxing, the tight aromatics reveal some weedy cassis intertwined with truffles, chocolate, and beef blood-like aromas. On the palate, there is an element of sur-maturite (1995 was an extremely late harvest at Calon-Ségur), fabulous density and purity, and a boatload of tannin. This deep, broodingly backward, classic Bordeaux will require a decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035. (2/ 1998)
91 PTS International Wine Cellar
Good deep red-ruby color. Black cherry, leather, olive and a hint of crystallized berries; fresher on the nose than the '97. Sweet, firmly structured and very nicely balanced, with strong but integrated acidity and very good flavor definition. Tannins are ripe and fine. (6/1998)
Château Calon-Ségur, the most northerly of all the Médoc Grand-Crus Classés, is the château with a heart on its label. That is because the former owner, Marquis de Ségur, though he owned such Estates as Lafite and Latour, he declared "My heart belongs to Calon". For the last century it has been owned by the Gasqueton family.
Calon-Ségur's 74-hectare vineyard, which is partly enclosed by a wall, is located just to the north of the village of St-Estèphe. The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc 15%) lie on up to 5 metre deep gravel beds mixed with sand and, in parts, limestone and clay.
The wines are fermented for 3 weeks in enamel-lined steel vats and are then matured in oak barriques (40% new) for 18 months. Recently, Calon-Ségur has hit form with notable successes in 1995 and 1996 and 2000. At its best, Calon-Ségur produces meaty and concentrated wines displaying excellent depth of fruit and superb length. It is classified as a 3ème Cru Classé.

Overton hadn't named her product yet. It was like a fanny pack but narrower, slender enough to fit through belt loops but expandable enough to hold a cell phone, keys and money. Overton polled her clients for ideas on what to call it and how much to charge and settled on SPIbelt, short for Small Personal Item belt, and $20. After creating 10 prototypes by hand, she spent $100 on a sewing machine, which she set up on a table in her grandmother's house. Just a few months later, in January 2007, a client introduced her to the owner of a running store, who asked if she could make 500 SPIbelts before the Austin marathon.
"Of course!" Overton answered.
The store owner sold 150 belts at the race—pulling in $1,500 for Overton. She quit her job and started attending trade shows, steadily accumulating orders and, with the profit, hiring sales reps. Today, SPIbelts are staples at America's biggest sporting-goods retailers, including REI and Eastern Mountain Sports. In 2007, SPIbelt's first year of operations, Overton grossed $150,000. In 2012 that number was $4.8 million, putting SPIbelt on Inc.'s list of America's 500 fastest-growing companies. "I did not bring on outside investors, and I did not take on debt," she says. "I moved the work out of my home to a 3,100-square-foot office space, and I have about 15 employees, depending on the season. But I still help design the products."
Three years ago, when Overton was 39, she became a single parent when she gave birth to her son, Dylan. "This business has been a blessing," she says. "I am grateful on a daily basis. It has allowed me to do the one thing I always wanted: be a mom."
What she does: Runs a chain of swim schools
What her business brought in: $1 million
As a girl in England, Rita Goldberg was a nationally ranked swimmer, but back then it didn't occur to her that she could turn that passion into a business. At 32, she agreed to teach a swim class at a Manchester pool only because it wouldn't interfere with her responsibilities as a wife and mother. "But I got back in shape, and I loved it," Goldberg says. After earning her teaching certificate, Goldberg was tapped for a position with the Manchester Education Department—a job she found satisfying until she visited an acquaintance at the house he'd bought in the country. "He'd installed a pool in his home's garage and started giving lessons," Goldberg remembers. She peered at the chlorinated water and had an epiphany. "I knew just what I wanted: to open a real swim school."
She went home and told her husband, who worked selling window shades and draperies. "He was having a terrible time of it because England was in a horrible recession," she says. "Still, he said OK." A year-round swim school in England required an indoor pool, and the only way Goldberg could afford to build one was by selling her family's home. So she did. "I found the perfect spot for the school: a derelict three-story Victorian big enough for my family to live and with a basement big enough for a pool," she says. That place cost every penny she'd made from the sale of her house—and she still needed a loan for renovations. Every local bank turned her down.
Then Goldberg heard about a TV show called Enterprise 80. "You had to submit business plans and explain why you should be given money," she says. "I made the top 20—and for that I got a loan guarantee of £10,000," which would be roughly $70,000 today. The school opened on a snowy March day with 120 children. Goldberg taught what was then a new and surprising concept: that toddlers could be trained to float on their backs if they got into trouble in the water. "We grossed about $60,000 that first year," she says. "The next year we doubled that, and for the next decade we earned about $250,000 a year. I'm still extremely proud of that business. It changed me. I had never been without confidence, but after making that business work, I had a lot more of it. I could make decisions, then deal with their consequences."

GCADV was recently featured in Health Matters at Work e-News, a program of Community Health Charities. Click the link below to read how domestic violence often impacts a couple's home and work lives.
To view the flyer, "Domestic Violence: It's Your Business," a joint collaboration between the Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Georgia Commission on Family Violence, click here.
I am so thankful and proud of the work that Taylor and GCADV are doing regarding domestic violence and the workplace. Raising awareness of the intersections of DV and the job site, the reality of DV fatality, and victim and workplace safety increases the ability for survivors to access the resources they need and gain support and understanding from their colleagues.

"Therefore I positioned men behind the lower parts of the wall, at the openings; and I set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, "Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses." Nehemiah 4:11-14
In my morning devotions I have been rereading the book of Nehemiah. I love the reminder of the importance of rebuilding the wall of protection and the preservation of the heritage of the people. As I read it though, I find like Nehemiah in the first few verses of the book, that I am in distress and morn for my nation. I have wept and prayed and beseeched God for the restoration of our godly heritage. Every day it seems as though the walls of protection and preservation have crumbled a bit more. I was extremely weary and sorrowful until I began reading Nehemiah again.
Although I am not a Bible scholar, I do see parallels of importance to the account in Nehemiah and the current state of the United States of America. I believe the walls that protected America in her past have been broken down. The core of our Christian faith and dedication to serve the one true God have been pushed aside and trampled upon nearly to the point of extinction. In my opinion apathy and a misunderstanding of what it means to stand firm in our faith have been two of the main culprits.
I know the importance of knowing God's word and rightly applying its truths to our everyday lives. I also know there is a fine line between being a Christian who adheres to the precepts in the word of God and stands firm in faith and a sociopath who misinterprets Scripture for their own gain. Having said that let me explore an idea with you.
As a nation who was established on Christian principles and blessed with God's protection and providence for years, on a progress report of keeping true to our heritage and protecting the wall, how do you think we're doing? Now everyone has a right to believe as they choose to believe, but at some point in our journey we all give account for the things we have done or failed to do. So again, as a nation who was given the freedom to serve God and be a light of Christian faith, how do you think we're doing?
I write this to fellow believers who have been charged by God to keep watch on the wall of our faith and to protect the heritage He has given us. I implore you to stand firm and not become distracted or discouraged by the circumstances in and around us. God is with us and has promised to never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). He has also told us to take up the full armor and stand firm. (Ephesians 6) Although we may not see the arsenal of our enemy, we are in a daily battle and need to gird ourselves up with the power and might of God and stand firm where He has told us to stand. Above all things remember the victory is ours for the battle belongs to the LORD. (1 Samuel 17:47)
May He receive all the honor and glory and be forever praised!!

Hi! I've just moved to the pittsburgh area, and am looking for an OB...i'm also curious where you want to deliver? Any opinions/ recommendations on hospitals or OBs? Any help is appreciated!
Pittsburgh hospitals....Where do you want to deliver?
I delivered ODD at St. Clair Hospital and loved it. I delivered YDD at Magee and wasn't very happy there. I had c.sections both times. I loved my doctors at both practices, but hopsital wise, St. Clair was nicer. Where in the area are you?
I delivered at West Penn with my OB Dr. Bruce Morrison!
Married 4-15-2011 <3 Grant Matthew born 9-22-2011 <3 Andrew James born 6-9-2015 <3
I'm in Cranberry Township... thanks for all of the help! I'm not currently pregnant, but we want to start trying again...if we are blessed with another one, it will be a c-section birth.
I had a great experience at Heritage Valley Sewickley and the Premier Women's Health Group. It's not far from Cranberry :o)
I delivered at St. Clair it was nice, the birthing suites were huge!! That is quite a hike for you from Cranberrry. I have heard great things about Sewickley. We actually had to take LO there the day after we brought him home to have his bili checked. They had us go to the birthing center for that, everyone was nice and it seemed very clean.
dont forget our 2 furry little babies Emma and Sammy
I chose to delivery at Mercy and my OBs were Dr. Deitrick and Dr. Noorbashe (I know I spelled that wrong). This was my second pregnancy as well and was also a planned c-section. I had an awesome experience and IF I were to have another baby in Pittsburgh, I would definitely delivery at Mercy again with the same doctos.
I'm not originally from Pittsburgh either. I've only been here a little over two years.

Factors that affect Normal Blood Pressure for Women
For women, keeping a normal blood pressure is important. In today's world, a lot of women suffer from hypertension. Since high blood pressure can occur at any age, it is really important to know the issues and factors that can cause it to develop. A change in the normal blood pressure for women could start at any age, family history, weight and menopausal stages are just a few of the factors that influence this, often coupled with anxiety, nervousness and stress. Hypertension in women can also occur during pregnancy.
Just like in men, women over a certain age are more likely to develop hypertension. As women get older, those with the unhealthiest lifestyles tend to acquire high blood pressure earlier. Those who reach the age of 50 may have high blood pressure due to uncontrolled physical, mental and emotional health. Women with a family history of hypertension can also acquire the condition at any age.
An uncontrolled diet can lead to a change in the normal blood pressure for women, especially when excess body weight is a factor. Those who are clinically obese or with a 30% excess above their recommended body weight have a higher chance of developing high blood pressure. Losing weight can help a lot in reducing the risk of developing hypertension. Women who live in the West tend to become more overweight because of rich food and heavy meals. However, this is not a reason for any women to take for granted the benefits of limitations and control. Asian women have a lower average body weight because their cuisines are low in fatty foods. But then, this is also not a basis for them not to have hypertension.
Hormonal Changes play a Big Part in Affecting Normal Blood Pressure for Women
The menstrual period is one of the many areas that has been studied and found to affect the normal blood pressure for women. In many cases, a women's normal blood pressure tends to rise in the days before the menstrual cycle starts. However, this can vary, changes like this can be triggered by stress, an abnormal cycle or monthly period. For older women the menopausal stage has also been identified as one of the causes for normal blood pressure disturbances. This is due to an imbalanced hormonal secretion within the woman's system.
Modern Life
The stress, anxiety and nervousness that many women suffer due to modern life can cause the blood pressure to rise. It is only in recent times that the importance of maintaining good emotional health is being seen as essential to maintain normal blood pressure. Working women, like men could also develop hypertension due to a stressful job. This is why regularly visiting a health care provider is important because high blood pressure can develop unnoticed at anytime.
Aside from getting professional advice, it is also essential to know how to take care of your own health. Proper diet and exercise will always be number one on the list for women and men who wish to maintain normal blood pressure.

Laughter fills the background. I don't think Belafonte was kidding either…
Laughter fills the background. I don't think Belafonte was kidding either…
He looks and sounds old enough to die soon (of natural causes of course). That would be best.
Mike, this would be hilarious, if it wasn't so frightening. Warren, his death would not cause me to shed a single tear. Notice how Belafonte doesn't even understand the distinction between the 'wishes of the people' and 'mandate.'
Speaking of "dictators", everyone should watch this! The compare and contrast of Gaddafi riding through Tripoli in an open car, waving at all the people and the people waving back with Obama's entourage of police vehicles, SWAT teams and armored limousines is striking.
And Mike, I would love to hear your comments on Gaddafi's idea to mint money out of gold and base the value on the market price of gold (a la Max Keiser's silver coin!).
Bizarre and twisted. I'll never think of Belafonte the same.
The 'maturity' of the American people?!?! A mandate from Obama voters, who can't constitute more than 25% of the populace? Is that like the mandate Baby Bush had from 2000-2008?
We recorded Belafonte in 2010 at a large union rally screaming about the TEA party and how they were destroying the Constitution. http://youtu.be/wtIfC1Q1ziY
