On Aug. 11, Kiehl's President Chris Salgardo posted an aerial shot of the World AIDS Memorial Quilt on Instagram, with the caption "Aerial view of the #aidsmemorialquilt . What an amazing day! @kiehlsnyc @kiehls #liferide5 #governorsisland."
Salgardo valiantly led a tight band of road warriors, otherwise known as Kiehl's Since 1851's LifeRide 5 for amfAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research) LifeRiders, who ended their triumphant 11 day, cross-country journey in New York City with an AIDS Memorial Quilt dedication ceremony on Aug. 11 and an Aug. 12 "New York Daily News" reported finale party which was hosted by Grammy winner Mary J. Blige.
According to a PR Newswire statement, 260 12-foot-by-12-foot sections of the international handmade tapestry were displayed at Governor's Island and presented as a gift by Kiehl's Since 1851 to New York in the inspirational opening ceremony. The quilt had not been displayed in New York in more than 10 years and U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer issued a proclamation which declared August 11, 2014 as Kiehl's LifeRide for amfAR Day. Kiehl's also unveiled a new panel for the quilt.
The LifeRiders documented important journey milestones via Twitter, and tweeted their respect and reverence for this ceremony, in which they read the names of the people remembered on the quilt out loud, one at a time. This highly personal dedication offered a stark reminder that the staggering HIV/AIDS-related death statistics represent real people who were lost to the disease. The infamous international quilt in its entirety pays homage to tens of thousands of people.
The 2014 LifeRide 5 is the third ride for TV and film actor Gilles Marini ("Switched at Birth," "Devious Maids") who was humbled taking part in the quilt dedication. He tweeted a photo of the quilt on the day of the ceremony along with the message, "Proud to be part of the ceremony of the AIDS QUILT. Rip my friends... http://instagram.com/p/rksRSAMjcK/."
Every person who has ever lived or will ever live weaves a story with their life. The names memorialized on the AIDS Quilt panels represent sons, daughters, husbands, wives, partners, family and friends whose stories ended much too soon due to AIDS. Sadly, the survivors who must live on without their loved ones are left with a deep void. A light has been extinguished by the life that ended and the survivors' own stories are forever altered and shaped by the weight of devastating loss.
The attached slideshow contains visual images of the quilt panels displayed on Governor's Island, including panels which pay tribute to Stephen Korzetz, whose sister Susan Korzetz traveled from Detroit, Michigan to New York to volunteer for the dedication and see her brother's panel displayed.
All of the exquisite panels are lovingly created by family and friends who courageously carry their deceased loved ones in their hearts. The quilt is maintained by The NAMES Project non-profit organization, whose ultimate goal is to place a "last panel" one day to represent the cure that was found which will prevent the need for any more panels to be added.
Unfortunately, UNAIDS reports the current harsh reality that as of 2013, 35 million people around the world were living with HIV. Some of these people are mothers and fathers. Some of them are sisters and brothers. Some of them are trusted friends and perhaps the most tragic of all, some of them are children.
Children, after all, represent the future and the future is ultimately compromised by young lives that end prematurely from AIDS. Something has to be done. A cure for HIV/AIDS must be found as soon as possible.
It is one thing to read statistics and absorb them. It is quite another thing to take action to prevent the numbers from growing.
Part of Kiehl's LifeRiders' heroic effort in making the cross-country trip was to take action against HIV/AIDS and raise awareness and money to support amfAR's fight for a cure. The corporate leaders and celebrity riders that comprised the LifeRide 5 team clearly have a lot on their individual plates. Yet, they sacrificed their time to unite in the name of a globally important and urgent cause. They rode 1,600 miles across multiple states in all sorts of weather conditions to send the message that the AIDS epidemic must be stopped. Lives depend on it.
This year's riders include: Kiehl's USA President Chris Salgardo, amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost, Tyson Beckford, Gilles Marini, Teddy Sears, Milissa Sears, Jay Ellis, Grant Reynolds, Conrad Leach, Katee Sackhoff, Scott Niemeyer, Vanessa Marcil, Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Ben Cohen.
There is frankly no better use of the entertainment industry platform than for actors and artists to use their notoriety to help those in need. A value cannot be placed on the tireless efforts the riders employed to help protect and preserve the lives of people around the world by helping to raise money to support amfAR's research and efforts to eventually abolish HIV/AIDS.
The charismatic LifeRiders were welcomed with open arms at each of the stops along the winding trail. A portion of proceeds from sales of special-sized tubes of Kiehl's skincare lotions went to amfAR and in all, the LifeRiders raised over $170,000 in this year's effort.
The riders celebrated their impressive achievement with an open-to-the-public finale party on Aug. 12 on West 12th Street in New York. Special guests included Grammy winner Mary J. Blige, The Misshapes, Bob Mould and Samantha Ronson.
Helmets off and hands raised in salute to the LifeRiders for a job well done. While they blaze on toward other pursuits, let's remember those who have been lost to AIDS and those who are currently fighting the disease. Most importantly, let's never forget there is still a lot of work to be done.

1.First and most important, your children need to be aware that while you both have issues with hormones, yours are older and stronger. Hence, you win. ?
2.Be consistent. When you say "no," mean it! Don't change your mind two days later because you feel guilty or because it's more convenient to let your child off the hook.
3.Constantly reinforce right from wrong and explain your reasoning behind it.
4.Focus on what's important. Don't sweat the small stuff.
5.Allow for family time. If you can have dinners every night as a family, great. If not, do it as often as possible.
6.Demonstrate the importance of family by being there for your parents, grandparents and other family members. Have your teens spend time with their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. If you don't teach them when they're young, they won't like doing it as adults.
7.Don't allow yourself to feel guilty.
8.Never try to make your children feel guilty.

Gulliver's Travels
by Jonathan Swift
Gulliver's Travels Part 4, Chapter 10 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Part 4, Chapter 10
"The author's economy, and happy life, among the Houyhnhnms. His great improvement in virtue by conversing with them. Their conversations. The author has notice given him by his master, that he must depart from the country. He falls into a swoon for grief; but submits. He contrives and finishes a canoe by the help of a fellow-servant, and puts to sea at a venture."
- Gulliver is absolutely content: he has all the shelter (thanks, in part, to the building skills of the sorrel nag), clothing, and clothes he needs, and he feels completely calm and at peace.
- Gulliver has lots of nice friends among the Houyhnhnms; in fact, he's proud that the Houyhnhnms sometimes say that he "trots like a horse" (4.10.4).
- Sadly, one morning the Master Horse comes to see Gulliver and to tell him that the Houyhnhnms have voted that Gulliver must go away. They worry that such a smart Yahoo might encourage the other Yahoos to rise up and kill the Houyhnhnm's cattle.
- The Master Horse tells Gulliver that he will be sorry to see him go – but he will have to.
- Gulliver is heartbroken at this news, so much so that he actual faints.
- The Master Horse gives Gulliver two months to finish his boat, which he builds with the help of the sorrel nag.
- Gulliver explores the coast with his telescope and finds a small island about three and a half miles away that he can reach in his boat.
- Finally, when the day comes for Gulliver to leave, the Master Horse and his whole family come to see him off.
- Gulliver cries and kisses the hoof of the Master Horse.

Good and fast communication from Jacqueline, so picking up the keys was easy. The flat was as shown in the pictures - very clean and tidy. It's an easy ten minute walk from the main station.
Jacqueline is a very friendly and helpful hostess. Very comfortable accommodation and well placed for arrival at the Part-Dieu main station and for public transport during your stay. Just jump on the C16 bus at tha Sacre Coeur bus stop, two or three minutes walk, buy a one day travel card for 5.50€ and Lyon's your oyster.
Jacqueline is an amazing hostess. She is so kind, hospitable and accommodating. My son and I stayed with Jacqueline during our visit to Lyon and absolutely loved it.
We walked all day long and when we retreated to Jacqueline's place in the night, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, which recharged our batteries for another day of exploration.
We would definitely stay with Jacqueline again.
I was very happy to stay in Jacqueline's apartment. Good location, modern building and apartment, clean, with good service. Very symphatic and helpfull host, i really appreciated. For sure i ll be back :) Thx a lot!
Studio meublé avec goût. Accueil sympathique.
Il serait nécessaire de vérifier les descentes d'eau de la douche et du lavabo car une forte odeur d'égout remonte et rend l'accueil désagréable quand on arrive.
Appartement très propre, et très bien équipé : du fer à repassé au sèche cheveux, des linges de toilettes en nombre suffisant. Et pour terminer le garage, en plein centre de Lyon c est LE detail qui fait toute la différence. A conserver comme adresse!
Jacqueline est un femme 'cool'. L'appartement est sympa, avec un garage très secure. Recommandé.
Beautiful apartment with private parking in the heart of Lyon. We were met at the door on arrival and shown the apartment and parking which made it very simple after an 8 hour drive. The apartment is very clean and beautifully decorated with two bedrooms and as my daughter said "the best shower in the world". Great communication with Jacqueline. Only wish we had not been delayed and could have enjoyed the apartment more as we only stayed for one night. Highly recommended and will definatly use again if we come this way again.
Nice apartment .modern and clean with very good facilities.could do with better instructions in English for television etc though. Recommended highly
Jacqueline una gran persona que nos atendió aunque por imprevistos de nuestro viaje llegamos muy tarde a Lyon. El apartamento genial. Muchas gracias Jacqueline!!!

Caring for a person that suffers from Alzheimer's or dementia is a tough job, but you're not alone. There are so many caregivers that are facing some of the same challenges that you are.
Although everyone's experience is different, we all share the need to care for ourselves, as well as our loved one. Sometimes that means asking the tough questions and making tough decisions. Other times it means we just need to surround ourselves with other caregivers that are empathetic and familiar with the road on which we're traveling.
It is our hope that you enjoy these Caregiver Conversations™ and that they stir you to not only remember that you are not alone, but that they make you feel safe, comfortable and confident to relax, renew and reach out. Enjoy!

Nicole Murphy has been in the spotlight for many years while married to her former husband, actor Eddie Murphy. Murphy has always maintained a healthy physique and since her reality tv debut fans were wondering how she stays in shape. The 46-year-old model shared her health and fitness secrets with People Magazine on May 23.
When it comes to celebrity dieting many are under the impression that there is a secret unknown to the public that only celebrities are privy to or they are simply depriving themselves of food. Surprisingly it is the exact opposite for the model.
The mother of five says she treats herself to sweet snacks on a daily basis. Although Murphy works out almost daily and eats fairly healthy, she says, she does not deprive herself of a snack when she craves it. Murphy shared her love for burgers and indulges in one cheat meal per week. In an effort to alleviate some of the guilt she eats her burger with lettuce in place of bread and has a side of sweet potato fries.
Murphy admitted to keeping a jar filled with her favorite brand of cookies so she can enjoy a couple during her mid morning snack. She also shared her love for oatmeal raisin cookies and macarons from her favorite bakeries in California.
Murphy takes cardio kickboxing classes with Natalie Yco, author of 'Running in Heels: Quick and Smart Snack Entrees'. Also, she alternates between circuit training, hiking and yoga on a weekly basis but makes an effort to workout daily.
Murphy will be featured in People's "Most Talked About Bodies Issue" which was released on May 23. In the special issue the reality star talks more in depth of her fitness journey and shared photos of her toned physique.
Nicole Murphy is engaged to former Football star Michael Strahan and has five children with former husband Eddie Murphy. She is also currently starring in the 3rd season of VH1's hit reality show 'Hollywood Exes'.

As specialist suppliers and installers of wind turbines, we can help you with the entire process of installation, including checking your wind speed, identifying the best site for a wind turbine and choosing the most suitable size.Read more...
There are a number of considerations when you purchase a wind turbine such as planning permission, the new feed in tariffs (FiT), the power the turbine can generate and whether you want it to be grid connected or stand alone.Read more...
Once the key decisions have been made we support you through installation (using our own qualified installers), grid connection, ongoing maintenance and insurance of your turbines to ensure continuing efficiency.Read more...
We are specialist suppliers and installers of wind turbines in a range of sizes up to 500kW. Our turbines are suitable for farms, businesses and communities. We provide a full range of services, including pre-installation and post-installation. We can help you decide on a package, advise on siting and installation, perform a site survey and advise you on dealing with the planning authorities and electricity companies. We can install the wind turbine for you and then provide you with post-installation services such as maintenance and repair. We specialise in wind power, so we reckon we know a thing or two about it!
Anyone with the space and wind speed to site a wind turbine can generate their own electricity from wind power. Wind turbines can have their output directly connected to the existing mains electricity supply, which means that the energy produced by the turbine can reduce the energy drawn from the supply. If you produce 'more than enough' energy, then it is possible to export energy and sell it to the electricity supplier.
A wind turbine secures electricity supply for 20 to 25 years, over which time electricity prices are forecast to rise substantially. For many farmers, landowners and businesses, continuation of supply is vital and using a wind turbine to provide energy when and where it is needed makes commercial sense. The Feed in Tariff provides an additional benefit of installing the right turbine in the right place.

The following video case studies show interviews with satisfied customers of Aeolus Power (Wind-Energy) Ltd. They allow you to share their first hand experience of installing a wind turbine on their farm.
Edward and James Morgan run Dolidre Farm, a sheep and beef farm in Wales. Two years ago they also moved into poultry farming, thus increasing their energy consumption. They went to an Aeolus Power (Wind-Energy) Open Day and found it extremely informative.
David Eyles runs Treworgans Farm, a sheep farm along with holiday lets in Cornwall. David can see 12 neighbouring turbines from his land and hearing such positive feedback from neighbours decided to install one on his own farm.
James Mutton owns Burlerrow Farm an organic self sustainable farm dealing with sheep, cows, cereal and grass production. Over half the business concentrates on elephant grass production and the processes involved in this led the farm to look at the need to reduce its energy bills.
Richard Bray owns Grogarth Farm, a family run, dairy and beef farm. Milking and refrigeration take up most of his energy consumption and wind power seemed to be the logical solution to provide the farm with the energy it needs.
Mark and Catherine Smale own Bason Farm, an organic beef and sheep farm and a B&B business in South West Devon. They wanted to look at renewable energy for their farm and lower their carbon footprint.
The Wind Turbine Assembly video was produced by Endurance Power head office to showcase how an Endurance E-3120 80kW wind turbine is produced. It is an informative five minute video that takes you through nine steps of the building process.

A gay icon and a couple of rap renegades from Seattle could prove to be one of Grammy night's most inspired pairings.
The awards show organizers have a well-earned reputation for head-scratching mash-ups (the JoBros and Stevie Wonder … because?), but few could argue that Madonna joining Macklemore & Ryan Lewis onstage for a performance of "Same Love" on Sunday is just short of genius.
According to Us Weekly, sources confirmed that the Material Girl will hit the stage with seven-time nominees Macklemore and producing partner Lewis. The duo are also primed to help make it a historic night for hip-hop with nods in key categories like Album of the Year.
Up for Song of the Year, their groundbreaking "Same Love" became anthemic just as the fight for marriage equality began picking up steam around the country. For hip-hop, a genre not typically equated with progressive views on gay rights, the song was brave and, for many, another step forward. Madonna, of course, has spent her career giving voice to issues significant to the gay community.
Last March, at the 2013 GLAAD Awards, the pop queen played dress-up in a boy scouts uniform to protest the group's ban on gay scouts and leaders.
While the rumors remain just that, the Material Girl and the rap duo have already been confirmed as performers at the 56th annual event. She took to Instagram to acknowledge her planned appearance this week and the ensuing fashion emergency: "It's official! I'm off my crutches and I'm looking for the perfect pair of heels to wear to the Grammys."
Go Behind The Velvet Rope At All The Pre-Grammy Parties.
But she was coy about what she had on tap, posting a cryptic note along with an image of her gold grill veiled behind a lace mask, before adding the hashtag #itsasecret.

If you're in a squabble with your spouse, Cavs forward Jamario Moon has the solution: Go see the Harlem Globetrotters at The Q April 12. "The Globetrotters are relationship fixers," says Moon, who played with the team from 2004 to 2005. "You could be having a bad day arguing with your husband or wife, but when you bring your family to a Globetrotter game with all the silly stuff and tricks, you're just laughing." As for those tricks, Moon shared his three favorites from his days wearing red, white and blue.

Those of us that chose to jump right in and jailbreak our phones have had VoIP calling over 3G for quite a while using VoIPover3G available in the Cydia store. Other users who were not so daring were only able to use VoIP apps when connected via WiFi. But I must say, in my area attempting to use Skype over 3G sucks! You have to have a really, really strong signal to get a good connection or talking is very choppy and it lags. I am hoping that since they have made changes on the network to allow for this, that it will also allow for nice strong connections.
At first there was only one app approved in the app store for VoIP calling. It is iCall. Fring quickly followed up announcing that VoIP calls will now be allowed over Skype.
I'm certain that Skype will be updated at any moment to allow the change, with others following close behind. And with Google's recent purchase of Gizmo5, the natural progression should be a full VoIP service from Google soon using Google Voice. I will certainly be waiting for that.

Monday, March 17, 2014: There's a lot happening, but whatever challenges you face today, peace and harmony prevail. Be social, enthusiastic, and you'll find that your good mood will be echoed back to you by others. Just take care not to over-reach. Take time to listen to others and the day will bring some very fortunate moments.
Except any challenges with diplomatic grace and don't get drawn into unnecessary internal or external melodrama.
The sky's shift this evening inspires some mental meandering. As your mind drifts, you'll be more imaginative, poetic, fluent and persuasive in the way you communicate. On a more practical note, take care and take notes so that important details don't slip through the cracks over the next few weeks.
Today's Quote
Get a life in which you are generous. Look around at the azaleas making fuchsia star bursts in spring; look at a full moon hanging silver in a black sky on a cold night. And realize that life is glorious, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take the money you would have spent on beers in a bar and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Tutor a seventh-grader.
All of us want to do well. But if we do not do good, too, then doing well will never be enough.

It's that time of year again! Time to begin previewing the upcoming NHL season. The excitement of the offseason has subsided, and now we're just waiting for October, more or less, much like Polaris did before us. Thirty teams have big dreams, although some of those teams are probably dreaming of getting the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, although that's more front offices and fans. First up is the Anaheim Ducks, due to the iron fist of alphabetical order. Also, next up is the Arizona Coyotes, which is a fun change of pace from past seasons. Score one for the Coyotes.
The Ducks were top notch last season. They finished with the best record in the Western Conference, managing 116 points, and they finished tied for second in the league in goal differential at plus-57, which, given how the West is more difficult than the East, is particular impressive. Yes, some of the possession numbers did not reflect positively upon the Ducks, and that is very valid, but you can't complain too much. This team put up big numbers, and made it into the second round of the playoffs before the Kings took them down in seven en route to winning the Cup. No shame in that.
Anaheim was led, as always, by Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, who were both excellent. They also showed a bit more depth than in recent seasons, although they weren't satisfied solely in what they had. The Ducks made a big move in trading for Ryan Kesler to give themselves a second line center, and they didn't have to give up a lot to give him. Anaheim also added Dany Heatley, but he is very much a lottery ticket at this point of his career.
Teemu Selanne is retired, and while he will be missed, on the ice he wasn't having much of an impact anymore. Guys like Emerson Etem and Devante Smith-Pelly will be asked to do more, and they seem capable of it. Cam Fowler is still only 22, and Hampus Lindholm is promising too. Then, there is the situation in net. Jonas Hiller is gone. John Gibson is likely to be their new starter, and he is considered one of the best goaltending prospects out there. He has experience in the NHL too, including in the postseason. Gibson has the potential to be better than Hiller, which is huge.
I like this team. I really like them. They play in a tough conference, but I feel like the division may be a bit down, particularly with San Jose looking like they are headed in the wrong direction. It's a battle between Anaheim and their local rivals in Los Angeles. One of them will win the Pacific. One of them will finish in second. I think we are headed to another second round matchup between these two teams. If Gibson is up to the task, and the Ducks improve their possession a bit, the outcome could be different this year.

Upcoming electro-pop act Poliça gets their "Tiff" single remixed by The Weekend and Drake producer Doc McKinney. Slinky, jumbled, and wonderfully hypnotic.
By now singer/songwriter Jenna Andrews has got to have you feeling some sort of way with that totally unfair cooing voice of hers. We've shared a few tracks to whet your appetite so far: "Mourning Sickness," "Kiss and Run," and "I Didn't Mean It."
And today, you can have all the rest with the release of Jenna's 7-track Kiss and Run EP, featuring an all-star production cast: The Messengers (Justin Bieber, Chris Brown), Dan Heath (Lana Del Rey), Doc McKinney (The Weeknd, Drake, Mary J. Blige), Adam Pallin (Cobra Starship), Jake Gosling (Ed Sheeran, Paloma Faith, Lady Gaga, Far East Movement), and Wayne Wilkins (Beyonce, Jordin Sparks, Cheryl Cole).
The determined artist's passion seamlessly translates from her story to honest, real lyrics that she aims to use to help give 'little girls and young women hope that their dreams can come true.' We can get behind that, no doubt.
Also today, Jenna released her video for "Weapon," which happens to be one of our favorite tracks off the EP. And yet another gorgeous video to complement a candid song about the double edged sword that love can often be.

Hemingway might have thought that Madrid has "month in and month out the finest climate," but ask any resident and you'd probably get a "¡Qué va!" In fact, Madrileños have a tight little rhyme to describe the extreme weather conditions in the highest capital of Europe: "nueve meses de invierno y tres de infierno."
Madrid is more of a way of life than a city.
The prolonged period of chilly weather probably came as a nasty surprise to many of us foreigners in our first year of living here, but by year two or three, you simply make peace with the cold, hard reality that Madrid is not the Mediterranean and you learn to layer with Zara.
But it turns out, that wasn't always the reality. Wherever you sit on the global warming debate, a man-made climate change did occur in Madrid in the mid-1500s. According to Jules Stewart in his recently published book Madrid: The History, the city's climate dramatically and irreversibly changed when Felipe II moved his court practically overnight to the newly chosen capital:
Forests were felled for timber to expand the Alcázar and make space for the king's colossal entourage and provide firewood to keep them warm. Game was frightened away from traditional hunting grounds, waterways dried up, wheat and grape harvests failed, pastureland vanished and farmers were forced to herd their cattle to distant grazing land. With the virtual denuding of the countryside, Madrid's climate grew harsher, with drier and greater extremes of weather, giving rise to the proverb 'Nueve meses de invierno y tres de infierno' ('Nine months of winter and three of hell').
Over 450 years later, Madrid's residents are still feeling the pain from that environmental destruction. "That shocked me," Jules says as he puts down that other Spanish oddity, café con leche served in a glass, not a cup or mug. "Understanding why there's such a harsh climate in Madrid — it was just denuded of all vegetation!"
Jules, who now lives in London and Pamplona, spent twenty years in Madrid working as a journalist and has witnessed it under Franco, the movida madrileña and the 2004 bombing. Realizing that after two decades of looking up at names on street signs and not knowing a thing about them, he decided the best way to learn about Madrid was to write about it.
Barcelona is yesterday's city.
"When I proposed this book to my publisher, he said, 'All right. Nice idea. Why don't you do Barcelona? Because more people go there.' And I said, 'Everybody knows Barcelona. Barcelona is yesterday's city.'
"I'm not going to rubbish Barcelona; it's a fantastic, wonderful, sumptuous Mediterranean port and it's very recognizable for tourists, but it doesn't have the people. And that's what makes Madrid. You have to understand the people, you have to speak the language, and you've got to have a lot of stamina."
Understand the people, he does, and that's what really sets Madrid: The History apart from other history books. It isn't just an "A to Z, up and down history" as he describes it; the book is full of valuable and spot-on insights about contemporary Madrileño culture and people. In the first few lines of his introduction, Jules states what only locals would know: "Madrid is more of a way of life than a city." Throughout the text, he continues to nail it with nuggets like "there is no point in showing contempt for outsiders, for Madrid has always been a city of immigrants" and "it would take more than political turmoil or economic crises to deter Madrileños from seeking enjoyment."
In the book, Jules describes the capital in the 1980s which saw the end of the movida and the beginning of a "Europeanized" Madrid. In that decade, Spain became part of the European Economic Community, multinational companies moved in and skyscrapers were being erected among squat 4-storey brick buildings. "Brussels," Jules writes, "now threatened to emasculate a way of life based on late hours and a healthy disregard for money. Spain was now part of something much bigger and the country faced demands of competitiveness and productivity it had never known before."Fast forward thirty years and the two-pronged campaign to move Spain back to its original GMT and get the country in line with the 9am-5pm work routine of other European countries like the UK and Germany is being discussed in Congress.
"What are they trying to do? Do they want to make it a miserable place?," Jules says. "The country does function. The transport system is better than Britain's and everything seems to work much better than it used to. And this business about the siesta — that has been going on for years before Franco came to power! The last thing we need is another Holland or Belgium."
Late nights are also nothing new, he says, and even has a theory as to how Madrileños get by on less sleep — it's the abundance of sunlight and the altitude that energizes the people. Then there's an attitude, a happiness in the city, he factors in as well: "Even now, despite the economic crisis, Madrileños sleep less than most, but those few hours are not spent agonising over what the morning will bring – at least not for those fortunate enough to hold jobs."
Madrid, needless to say, is Jules's favorite European city so it was a sad occasion when the city lost the bid to host the Olympics for a third time in a row.
"I think Madrid should have gotten it. It's easy to be cynical about it and other things like this casino. I'm dead set against that. It'll do nothing but damage to Madrid. But look at what [the Olympics] did for London. It made some money, not a great deal of money, but it just boosted the image of the city. The question is: does Madrid need that? It's also, how do you measure success or failure? It's not just how many tickets you've sold, there are other factors you have to take into account. What sort of tourism are you going to generate in two or three years' time? Your exposure, your profile. You can't quantify these things."
There is talk that Madrid won't be bidding again for the 2024 Olympics but Jules hopes it does. Madrid is practically the capital of Europe when it comes to cultural offers, he points out, and with every visit, he's surprised by things blooming and popping up all over the place. "Madrid by and large is a more positive place all the time — it's better all the time," he says of the city that led the uprising against Napoleon in 1808 and held out for three years of shelling by Franco's troops in the 1930s. Madrid, the heroic city with a fighting spirit, was defeated and overrun, but it has never surrendered. Time — and perhaps a change of government leaders — will tell if Madrid actually gives up on hosting the Olympics.
I've been living in Madrid since 2007, married to a madrileño since 2008, and mom to our son since 2011. Tech is my thing. I love salmorejo, matrimonios and cazón adobado. I don't watch football.

SALEM –– A lot has to go right for an 0-3 team to enter a 3-0 team's stadium and walk out with a victory. Most of what went right, though, went in the home team's favor.
Glenvar bolted to a 34-0 halftime lead and was the benefactor of most of the happy plays Friday night as the Highlanders blanked Grayson County 51-0 in a nondistrict matchup at Highlander Stadium.
WYTHEVILLE — A prosecutor has dropped all charges against a former football coach, teacher and administrator with Carroll County schools. The charges stemmed from a "hazing" incident involving an 11th grade football player.
Howard S. Ingo, a former George Wythe High School football coach, was convicted in May of a "corporal punishment" violation, a Class 4 misdemeanor, and ordered to pay a fine of $100. He appealed the conviction.
Blue Ridge Country Club hosted its Member-Member, Member-Guest tournament last Tuesday with a six-six-six format that included six holes of best ball, six holes of alternating shot and six holes of captain's choice.
Carroll County avenged its only loss of the season by taking down Floyd County 3-1 in volleyball. Jessi Goad served for 27 points for the Cavaliers. Maleah Neely had 14 assists, including six aces.
Carroll County trailed Christiansburg 10-7 in the fourth quarter before the Blue Demons pulled away for a 23-7 win.
HILLSVILLE –– With six of Carroll County's first seven volleyball matches on the road, there was virtually no chance, barring a catastrophic start to the season, that Cavalier coach Cindy Edwards would reach career win No. 300 on her home court.
That didn't mean that the milestone would go unrecognized once the team returned to familiar environs.
ELLISTON –– Galax's nondistrict win Friday at Eastern Montgomery seemed as if it would never end. Odd, considering the thing seemed to be over on about four separate occasions.
Tyler Reavis hauled in a 51-yard touchdown pass from Blake Bowman as time expired and Mason King added the PAT as Carroll County pulled off a miraculous 28-27 win over Patrick County. The Cavaliers trailed 27-14 before scoring 14 points in the final 3:35.
Galax held off Floyd County 15-10 in the fifth set and notched an impressive 3-2 win over the Buffaloes as Allison White put away 20 kills.
Carroll County will begin its district slate by bidding farewell to one of the state's longest-tenured coaches, while Grayson County and Galax continue their nondistrict schedules as the high school football season hits Week 3 tonight.
Blacksburg (0-1)
at Carroll County (1-1)
The Virginia Blaze travel team finished its summer season by winning the Battle Ball Showcase in Lenoir, N.C. on Aug. 30.
The Blaze went 3-0 in the tournament by defeating the Lenoir Bobcats 40-10, the Lenoir Spartans 59-58 and then edging the Wilkes Diamonds 67-62 for the championship.
Team members are Kacie Shaffner, Rachel Clark, Sydney Bedsaul, Audrey Clark, Rebekah Clark, Nancy Clark, Hallie Bryant, Kylee Hill, Kelsey Cave, Hannah Swiger, coach Larry Clark and assistant Diana Clark.
The Ladies' Golf Association of Blue Ridge Country Club held its Ladies Championship and Net Tournament on August 23-24 and its Ladies' Invitational on Aug. 19.
In the two-day, stroke play championship and net tournament, Judy Chambers shot an 81 in her opening round and came back with a 78 on the second day to win the championship with a two-day total of 159. Trish Golding placed second with an 88-86–174.

Berry Blogs
September 13, 2005
What's up Mustangs!! After having written a blog after losing a game, I can tell you that it is much more pleasant to sit down and write after a win. Therefore I have decided for the team that we should just go ahead and win out the rest of the season. All those in favor? That's what I thought. I'm proud of the way the team performed together, and I'm especially proud of the way the senior leaders stepped up and led. I couldn't be happier about it. The skillet is something that has eluded us as of late, and I am happy that it is back home at SMU where it belongs.
Here's the other side to the victory. While it is great to win a marquis game like that, we really have no time to revel in the triumph. We have already begun prep for Texas A&M, and don't intend to think about TCU until next year when we play them again (OK, OK, maybe we'll think about it a little bit). But seriously, A&M is another big game for us, and this time we do not have home field advantage.
Anyone who has attended a game at Kyle field knows exactly what that means for us this week. Personally, I don't really care where we play the game: Kyle Field, Gerald J., my parent's front yard, in the back of K-Mart, it really doesn't matter. The field is marked the same all over the world regardless of whether it's Kyle Field or just the infield for a junior high track meet. That being said, it does always make us feel good to see a nice turnout for the red and blue on an away game, so load `em on up and get to College Station this weekend. It should be a good time.
I did get an email that brought to my attention the fact that I was not even on the preseason watch list for the Heisman. I'm crushed. But I'll be back, I'll just have to make it as a write-in candidate. Thanks for your support.
Special thanks to the fans who attended Saturday's game. You guys are great. Not to mention the Mighty Mustang Band. We are more appreciative than you can know. That about wraps it up for now, email me with questions if you have them!
Go SMU!

With some holidays ahead, here is our weekly wrap-up of new and interesting things.
For those of you who follow our roadmap, here is some news.
First, a shift. In recent years we used to issue a new release every spring. But this year we decided to delay this release for two months, so the new target date is end of June. The reason is two-fold. For one thing we still have a lot ahead which we want to finish for the release, and in a proper fashion. The other reason is that there are pressing issues of projects we support, which need our attention on short notice.
As for the upside, we will be launching a new home page including manual and the other subsystems, something we've been working on for some while. It will come out with new styling and a changed profile for the project, in about two weeks. The changed web presence will also give you a preview of the things to come with the next release. So there is something for you to be excited about!
Cloud Server Mobile App
Tino just recently blogged about the Cloud Server Management app, a mobile app built with qooxdoo mobile, from our sponsor 1&1 that allows customers to manage their cloud servers with their smart phones. Here is the full story.
Generator: Optimization "whitespace"
We have extracted another optimization that was implicit so far: whitespace compression. Up until now white space was compressed as soon as you specified any optimization other than "comments", e.g. "variants", "strings", or "variables". As a consequence, you could have neither of these optimizations with readable, structurally laid out code. This is now gone. White space compression is now an own optimization, which can be turned on and off individually with the "whitespace" keyword. For skeleton-based apps it is on by default. If you have config files that specify compile-options/code/optimize or the OPTIMIZE macro you will want to review those and probably add "whitespace" to the list.
For a complete list of tasks accomplished during the last working week, use this bugzilla query.
Community: Rpclib with Json Support
Community member Burak Arslan has added Json support to his multi-protocol rpclib server backend. There is also a nice presentation from this year's PyCon.
That's it for now, enjoy your holidays.

Film distributors must think that after all the sweetness of the holidays, audiences are starving for something sour, like a richly nasty horror tale. They're opening a lot of horror this month as "Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones" opened on January 3, and now "Devil's Due" is in theaters just two weeks later. Unfortunately, neither movie is worth a look, and I dare say, ol' Satan is probably due a lot more than the soulless drudgery on display here.
If you've seen the trailer for "Devil's Due" you know exactly what you're getting. A married couple gets pregnant and it becomes apparent that the young woman is carrying the spawn of a demon. As effective as some of the jump scare shots are in the previews, the actual film itself is painfully dull. It contains very few legitimate scares and instead is filled with wall-to-wall nauseatingly bad camera work and two inane lead characters that create little audience empathy. It's almost as bad as last year's devil-themed dud that was also a handheld mess - "The Last Exorcism 2" (http://exm.nr/1mbZPtA). Ungodly.
The story starts with a bloodied young man named Zach McCall (Zach Gilford) being interrogated in a police station. We don't know what happened exactly, but he glowers and confesses he didn't do it. Then an elaborate flashback starts that shows McCall as an earnest young man eight months earlier, telling his bride-to-be Samantha (Allison Miller) that he wants to film all of their life together. Of course what this really does is allow the filmmakers to have everything that happens be 'documented'. Fine, that's what 'found footage' horror is all about, but it isn't too long before other sources of videography start mixing in, and it begs the question of just how all this video was accumulated.
Nonetheless, if you can get past that illogic, you might have been primed for a good frightener, but this film isn't it. It quickly turns into bad craftsmanship and silly storytelling that makes one slump back in the movie seat rather than sit on the edge of it. It starts when Zach gets a button camera that he clamps onto his shirt so that he can keep up the filming without having to hold a cumbersome camera. But that placement offers up way too many shots of his wife's neck, the ground, and other badly framed perspectives. Ten minutes into the movie and the shaky camera work was so stomach churning, I realized that no grisly effect later in the running time would be nearly as effective.
Soon we see the couple honeymooning in the Dominican Republic. There, Zach tells his missus that he wants to protect her, but quickly allows a shady cabdriver to chauffeur them to an ultra creepy nightclub which turns out to actually be an occult den. (So much for his vows to protect.) Upon their return to the States, they're soon expecting. And it isn't long before the naïve couple realizes something is amiss. From there on out, the film is one painful slog towards the inevitable destruction of wife, family and hopes to qualify for a good pre-school.
Even if you like 'found footage' films, or occult horror, this one offers little freshness on either count. It was sold to Fox as "found footage takes on Rosemary's Baby" (http://bit.ly/1fH7tie) and ultimately it's not much more than that; more premise than promise. It can't begin to hold a Wiccan candle to Roman Polanski's 1968 terror classic. That film generated more scares when merely gazing at Ruth Gordon through the keyhole. CGI bloated bellies, bleeding priests and Satanic chalk circles do not a true frightener make. This film has all the props, but precious little sense of palpable tension.
The script by Lindsay Devlin strives to create a couple with some real chemistry but they're simply too slow on the uptake for us to wholly invest in. At least Mia Farrow's Rosemary realized "this is really happening!" a lot earlier than any of the characters here do. And the directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet did one of the darkly comic gems in the anthology frightener "V/H/S" back in 2012 (http://exm.nr/1gXLJLv). Unfortunately, none of that film's cheeky sense of black comedy shows up this go-round.
Perhaps the devil has become too omnipresent in the horror genre to be truly frightening these days. Beelzebub has gone the way of zombies and stayed too long at the dance. So has 'found footage' and I'm ready for the start of a new year in horror where the market isn't over-saturated with that hoary style of handheld filmmaking. Sadly, 2014 isn't going to be that year. By God, I just hope February isn't nearly as ugly.

New things, busy life and Easter fun
Tuesday, April 10, 2012
New things I'm going to try to see if it helps:
I will be trying to follow the SP meal plan for the week to see if it is easier than trying to plan on my own. My kids are going to do it with me! It's nice to have them helping me.
I will also be trying to get up early to exercise, instead of "trying" to find time. It is too easy to skip when I don't MAKE time.
My life as a homeschool mom is so busy. I love it though and wouldn't trade it for anything. My DD (15)is teaching violin lessons to her very first student! I'm so proud of her! She is has been playing violin for 9 years. She will also be tutoring 3 other students until the regular teacher comes back from maternity leave. This will be such a good experience! DD also takes piano lessons. DS (12) is keeping busy with practicing his compound bow for hunting with DH. He is also on a bowling team that is in first place for the second year in a row. He bowls an average of 106. He also takes drum lessons. Add in school, church, educational programs, school work and the rest of life, well it makes for a busy week. But full of laughter, fun and love.
Easter was great! He is risen! He is risen, indeed! I am so glad to be a child of God. I need His grace and mercy daily to keep going! We had my parents, brothers, in-laws, nieces and nephews and a dear friend over for dinner. There were 18 of us in all! But what fun! I love it when we are all together, laughing and remembering old times. All too soon, my parents and DH's parents will be gone and there will be nothing left but photos and memories, so we are trying to build them up whenever we can! My sister brought a duckling over for my kids! They are so happy about it. We named him Fred and he is the cutest thing! Today we will go get Fred a friend. You just can't have a lonely duckling!
I hope everyone in Sparkland is doing well and had a blessed Easter!

Salt and pepper IS a good look for men!! It really does make you look distinguished - a certain air of gravity. I definitely plan on continuing to dye, though - I don't think women can accomplish that same look. :)
Have a happy birthday, I hit 30 last year and am learning to embrace the salt and pepper look, I hear it looks men look more "distinguished", but you are right, hair dye is the way to go!
I would pay good money for that - I HAVE to go hunt that down. You're a genius - I could watch that episode where they do "Raiders of the Lost Ark" over and over that way... (Sigh.) You've just made my day - no, my week.
In case you didn't know, Time-Warner used to sell a 15 DVD set of the Muppet Shows on their website. I know you can buy the individual seasons now, but to have them all at once is pure Muppet Heaven!

A tourist was taking photographs in an abandoned prison and after she reviewed the images, she noticed something strange in one of the photos. The ghost of a woman appeared in a reflection of one of the prison cell windows, the Hufftington Post reported today.
British tourists Sheila Sillery-Walsh and her friend Paul Rice were visiting Alcatraz, in San Francisco. While on tour of the infamous former prison, Sillery-Walsh snapping some photos of the cells with her iPhone. The 48-year-old teacher instantly reviewed the images and noticed a strange woman in one of the photos.
"When I glanced at the photo on my mobile, I saw this dark female figure in the picture. I looked at the window again and there was no one in the room. I am so curious to know who she could be, perhaps she was a female visitor of a prisoner and kept returning. I would love to know why she's shown herself in my photo," Sillery-Walsh said in an interview about the image.
Sillery-Walsh said that the prison staff didn't recognize the woman in the photo. Her friend Rice claims that it wasn't her reflection and that he really believes the woman is a ghost that haunts the prison.
"The woman's hair and clothing is from a different era, it looks like she's from the 1930s or 40s," Rice said.
While in operation, there were numerous people that died on the island. There were eight murders that took place inside the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary. Three guards and five inmates were murdered in the prison. A correction officer was killed in the laundry room, two other officers died during an escape attempt in 1946, and five inmates were killed in various attacks. Five inmates committed suicide and several prisoners died while attempting to escape.
According to government records, there were never any female inmates, guards, or administrators at the prison. Prisoners went decades without ever hearing a female voice.

The Seattle Storm is proud to announce our 2011 Women of Inspiration presented by Moss Adams LLP.
As part of our commitment to the community and to inspiring women, four exceptional leaders with
remarkable stories and achievements, have been selected to be honored at the Storm game on
Aug. 5, 2011. This year's winners are:
Jerilyn Brusseau, PeaceTrees Vietnam | Grethe Cammermeyer, Equal Rights Pioneer
Jessica Markowitz, Richard's Rwanda-IMPUHWE | Barbara Trask, Researcher
They join 23 other esteemed women as Seattle Storm's Women of Inspiration.
Do you know a woman who is courageous, tenacious, inspiring? Nominate her to be a 2012 Seattle Storm Woman of Inspiration. For the first time, we are accepting your nominations for this annual event. Tell us about women from Western Washington who are making a difference through their work, service or life. Email firstname.lastname@example.com with details on your nominee by December 31, 2011. Join us for the 2012 Women of Inspiration event next summer.
JERILYN BRUSSEAU | PeaceTrees Vietnam
When faced with unspeakable loss, Jerilyn Brusseau turned anger and grief into hope and healing. Inspired by the loss of her brother in the Vietnam war, Brusseau is the founder of PeaceTrees Vietnam, a project that promotes friendship and healing with the people and the land of Vietnam. PeaceTrees removes landmines left from the war, builds homes and provides medical treatment for the people of Vietnam. Thanks to Brusseau's tireless work, almost 50,000 landmines have been cleared so far.
"What motivates me to be my best, what gets me up in the morning, is the possibility of healing what seems the most impossible to heal, to be of service in building community spirit at home and around the world, and to carry a vision for service far greater than self," Brusseau said.
GRETHE CAMMERMEYER | Equal Rights Pioneer
Her courage in fighting for equality led to huge changes in how the U.S. Military treats people. Grethe Cammermeyer had given years of service in the military, including 14 months serving our country overseas. She had a flawless military history when she was forced out of the military because of her sexual orientation. She bravely fought back, filing a lawsuit which led to the ruling the military's policy was unconstitutional and prejudiced. Ultimately Cammermeyer was reinstated to her position as Chief Nurse of the Washington State National Guard, from which she recently retired after 31 years of service. Cammermeyer says she wears her uniform to remind people of gays and lesbians who serve in silence.
JESSICA MARKOWITZ | Richard's Rwanda-IMPUHWE
Age is not an obstacle for Jessica Markowitz. Though she is only a junior at Garfield High School in Seattle, she has become a leader and role model through her commitment to civic responsibility and community involvement. When she was only 11 years old, Jessica founded Richard's Rwanda-IMPUHWE, an organization that supports educational opportunities for girls in primary and secondary school in the rural area of Nyamata, Rwanda. The organization has raised over $100,000 to date. Jessica's efforts are about building and sustaining relationships, not just raising funds. Jessica believes in the power of providing a fishing pole, not just the fish.
BARBARA TRASK | Researcher
Her name may not be familiar, but her dedication and research is helping people around the world who are impacted by diseases. Barbara J. Trask, Ph.D., is the first woman to lead a scientific research division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research center where she was Senior Vice President and Director for the Human Biology Division. Trask is an internationally recognized expert in genomics and has devoted her career to studying the genetic basis for cancer and other diseases. She also played a significant role in the Human Genome Project. Trask retired in May, and leaves a legacy of excellence, having helped launch the careers of many scientists who are devoted to tackling cancer, HIV/AIDS and other major health challenges.
"Until I joined the Hutchinson Center, my role models in science were all men," Trask said. "I was fortunate that so many stepped in to encourage me to do more as my career developed. At the Hutchinson Center, many women now have leadership positions in science and administration, so the current generation has role models of both genders."

This lassie has much to be thankful for and I am grateful for the abundance of blessings God has provided me. Most of all, this car full of chaos!
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!!
This lassie has much to be thankful for and I am grateful for the abundance of blessings God has provided me. Most of all, this car full of chaos!
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!!
As a Mom of boys, and as an athlete myself, I know how important it is to get kids outside and active. I started team sports at a very young age and continued playing through college and still play now! The camaraderie, competition and exercise is great for the mind and body. So when my boys approached me about playing sports I responded with a loud and definite YES!
My boys are avid football and lacrosse players. Our weeks are full of practices and our weekends are full of games and tournaments. You know that uber loud obnoxious cheering Mom at the games? Yeah, that's me. There is something about sports that sucks me in and gets my adrenaline pumping. What better way to encourage and motivate your child in a sport, right? Even more important is the fact that they love doing it and are building healthy lifestyle choices in the process.
The Chicago Bears are strong believers that children should be fit and active. That kids get off those couches and go outside! Their youth camps help children push beyond their comfort zone, learn new skills and acquire a life long love of being active. The Chicago Bears Youth Camp believes with patience and encouragement, kids gain confidence.
Kids love learning new skills and are always excited to succeed. Tom Finks, Executive Director of Chicago Bears Youth Football Camps, states, "At our camps, through fun skill challenges, fun competitions and fun games, kids exert themselves—often beyond their normal comfort level."
The Chicago Bears Youth Football Camps are safe, non-contact instruction for kids ages 6-14 and are very suitable for any kid that just wants to learn the game. They provide a station-based training format that allows campers to be divided by age and experience level so each receives the right level of instruction and support. Kids will learn to run, throw, catch, defend, form block, form tackle and explode out of their stance with proper technique and improved speed. The camps, which each run for 5 days from 9am to 3pm (that's 30 hours active learning, instruction and fun!), do more than just introduce kids to sports, they make kids passionate about being healthy and help develop a lifelong love of fitness. Camps are held at various Chicagoland locations.
Want a chance to give your a Chicago Bears football camp prize pack? It's easy! Leave a comment about your, or your child's, favorite sport to play and your email and you are entered. Want a second chance? Tweet this giveaway and leave the URL in the comment section. An example tweet could be:
My child wants to go to the Chicago Bears Football Camp! http://tinyurl.com/cttb9za #eatlikeabear
Good luck! Now go outside and play!!
In an attempt to perfect my bubble photo taking capabilities, I gave Monkey a bottle of bubbles. Please disregard his nasty and dirty boyish self. Sigh…. Life with boys is never boring!
Ahh, yes. Life with boys is bound to bring about a few bumps and bruises. This weekend it brought about a broken pinkie toe for Monkey. He is handling it well but will make the situation work for him when he can. Imagine, "Carry me Momma", in the most pathetic voice ever and with doe eyes the size of saucers. Yeah, he likes to milk it.
Now the process of waiting for it to heal begins. Wonder how long that will take with one overly mobile 6 year old? Let the bets begin!
What did you view this Monday?
Well, it's Monday and the first day of August which in my house means – football! This year, both boys will be gearing up for football. No more flag for Monkey! This also means that this is what I will view every day when I walk in the house. I am also being polite when I use the word 'view', cause the smell that comes with two boys, fully padded playing football is most days, a bit too much to stomach.
What did you view on this glorious Monday?
Being the mother of boys, my floors and counters are littered with Matchbox cars and trucks. Having a backyard that backs into the woods provides many dirt trails for trucks and diggers, dirt bike trails and monster truck rallies. Don't get me started on the rally races around the kitchen island!
Well, this lassie is about to score major Mommy points with her boys. This month real Monster trucks are coming to Chicago. I can't even begin to imagine how they are going to react when they find out they get to go see REAL monster trucks! I may have to work this for all that it's worth!
Now you too can WITNESS THE THUNDER! Chicago will ROAR and RUMBLE with the nations most competitive MONSTER TRUCKS and FMX Stunt Riders as they storm into The Sears Centre Arena on March 12th and 13th. See these incredible, high jumping, ground pounding, car crushing, axle wrenching giants race in side-by-side drags, wheelie shootouts, and then go completely bananas with amazing freestyle action during this Monster Truck Thrill Show! Plus, you can meet the drivers and see the trucks up close at the pre-event Autograph Pit Party on the arena floor for FREE with regular ticket purchase.
I am even able to offer you a $3.00 discount on your admission! Just click and use the promo code FAMILY for you discount in your city.
I am sure my camera will be working overtime capturing the excitement on their faces. Can't wait to share their pure joy with you!
Be sure to check out everyone else's fabulous photo finds this week at Lotus' Weekly Winners.
Yes, you heard it first here – being a mother to boys is full of excitement and surprises. Just when I think I have seen it all.….
1. The other morning I found this:
2. When the 10 y/o was questioned about his strategic placement of said cup, he responded, " Well at least it will hide the smell". Anyone want a gently used 10 y/o? Anyone??
3. On the short person front – Monkey boy is LOVING Kindergarten. Well, I take that back. I think he likes Kindergarten. He LOVES riding the bus. When I ask him what he did at school today, he always responds, "I rode the bus!"
4. While he might be loving Kindergarten, I think his teacher thinks I am wacko. Monkey was insistent that his phone number was 867-5309 and became very upset when his brother, and teacher, pointed out otherwise.
5. I also realize that I am to blame for the above meltdown because, well, I have the habit of replacing names and/or words in song. Ima Bee by the Back Eyed Peas in my head will always be SarahB. Well, I changed the name 'Jenny' in the above song to Monkeys real name. I also have a HUGE obsession with 80's music. Obviously it is a bad combination all around.
6. On a happier note I am going to once again try and tackle a photo 365. It will be my third attempt. Yes, I am aware that is a huge failure rate. Yes, I realize my intent on doing 2 separate 365 is crack induced. But I purchased Flickr Pro so it will get done. No, really. It will.
7. And since we are on the topics of failure…. I have been haunted by this blog about a McDonald's hamburger for days. Thanks Sarah! Definitely another reason why going vegan is the way to go.
8. Good news! I have a winner for my BlogHer/ Lilith Fair giveaway. Drum roll please…… Malia! Random.org picked comment #2 a the winner. Congrats!!
9. ZacPoor has released a new album and I am loving it! Mmmmm, ZacPoor. Whoops! Did I say that out loud? Here, take a listen.
10. Looking for a great bargain?? Savvy Source is always on the look out for the best deals around in your city. Plus they have a great website for parents of pre-schoolers. They offer great deals for fun, family friendly activities, sometimes it is even 50% off the typical price! It is definitely worth registering for so you can get up to the minute deals in you town.
1. School officially started this week. Bear was not as excited as Monkey to go to school but he has quickly warmed up to his new teacher. He came home yesterday and told me he thought she was 'really cool'. Score one for Mrs H. I even put him on the right bus this year!
2. And since we are on the topic of school – my youngest started Kindergarten this week and it has left me very weepy. It's actually quite ironic since all summer I was SO ready for him to go back to school. But now that the day is here, I am just a mess. Pass the Kleenex please!
3. Kleenex, did somebody say Kleenex?? I will now take this moment to toot my own horn (toot toot) I was the grand prize winner of Kleenex's Hands-On Learning Giveaway hosted over at Blissfully Domestic. Yep, I was talking about the joys of making a Rube Goldberg. Ever make one?? Thanks Kleenex!!
4. Speaking of giveaways – I am hosting a $100 Visa giftcard giveaway, courtesy of BlogHer over at my review site. Be sure you head on over and enter. $100 could buy some kick butt shoes…. just saying.
5. Football!!! Oh you heard me right, football is in full swing in this Lassie's house. Bear had the game of a lifetime last Saturday and I was left without a voice. It was amazing!
6. I am totally diggin' on the new release of the band Elsinore. Definitely worth a listen if you are in the mood for a great Indy rock band. Definitely worth listening too if you just want to hear some great new music.
7. This week the boys and I watched the original Clash Of The Titans. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and I am sure, a cult classic. Monkey has now become obsessed with the Kraken while Bear can't wait to compare it to the recently released version. Could they be anymore different?
8. I am super proud of my crafting abilities this past week. Nothing like a few sweets to butter up the new teacher!
9. Did I mention the super cool giveaway I am hosting? Did I mention it was about Lilith Fair? What?! You still haven't entered?? Well, get going already!
10. I am also impatiently patiently waiting for my copy of The Screwtape Letters to arrive. Have you read it? What were your thoughts? Be sure to join in the discussion over at Blissfully Domestic if you have!
This is my last Thursday home before going back to work next week. I am not happy about it. I, like my friend Sarah, would like to move to Australia. Where there are sharks. And cute koalas. And I can be snarky. But just to the sharks cause like I said, koalas are cute and can always make me smile. Not like sharks. But I digress….
1. If you have read up on the Thursday Ten cult (ok, there are just three of us but still), you would also see that we are all PMSing (the joys of being friends) and it has not been pretty. At all. So just throw some chocolate our way and run. It's safer that way.
2. Which leads me to my next issue. What on earth am I supposed to snarf down to appease my inner anger as a vegan?? Chocolate – has dairy and sugar. Ice cream – dairy, sugar and I am lactose intolerant. Grapes – well now, that is just mean. What happiness can I possibly derive from grapes?! What?? Sour fermented grapes! Now you are talking!!
3.The boys created a new game today. There is no official name, they just sit there punching each other in their privates till one of them cries. Uh, yeah, I know. Why do boys think up these crazy things? Can't they use their minds for the greater good?! Well, now they are. While they are cleaning their toyroom. Together. In silence.
4. Since the new school year is quickly approaching, the boys and I have been 'doctoring' all week. Yep, this week we hit the dentist, the pediatrician and the opthamologist. Throw in a haircut for me tomorrow and we are all ready to go back to school. Physically maybe, mentally – totally questionable.
5. Speaking of getting ready for school – Monkey boy starts Kindergarten this year. He is mostly somewhat ready. One way I have been trying to get him even more ready is with my Grasshopper Prep Kit. I really like it and have been pleased with his progress. I wonder is she makes a kit for listening??
6. This past weekend the family and I took our annual camping trip. We tried somewhere new and loved it. Except for the overly ferocious mosquitoes that had us running to Wally World looking for solace. Thankfully Hubby came out wielding enough Deet to send every mosquitoes in the country running. Except for the ones on our camp site who still felt the need to try and get as close to sucking our blood as they could. The were even dive bombing into our car windows. Guess those were some hungry (or PMSing) mommas!
7. And sine we went camping out of state I also got to enjoy the northern states lovely lack of driving skills. Dear Wisconsin drivers – please don't sit in the left lane. It makes me cranky. Especially when you are going 10 miles BELOW the speed limit. There are three lanes, please use them.
8. Still trying to get through The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I should preface that by saying it is not that I don't like it, I just haven't had time to read.
9. AND speaking of tattoos – Hubby is getting his today. Right now in fact. Hope he is surviving. He was given the time frame of 4.5 – 5 hours. That's a lot of ink time!
10. Now off to finish my to-do list to get the boys and I ready for school. Anyone out there know how to change the water filter in your fridge?? Yikes! It has been red for weeks which is why I have been drinking water from the tap. Maybe Hubby will do it when he gets home from getting his tat. Maybe.
Don't forget to check out the other Thursday Ten chicks, Sarah and Malia. By the way, they both like chocolate too!

Full text not available from this repository.

Neuronal vacuolation (spongiosis), neuronal death, and pronounced glial reactions are the hallmarks of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases. A wealth of physical, biochemical, and immunological evidence indicates that the TSE agent, termed prion, does not contain agent-specific nucleic acid encoding its own constituents, as is the case for all other infectious pathogens. Also, no adaptive immune responses are elicited upon infection. A defining feature of TSEs is the deposition, mainly in the brain and lymphoreticular tissues, of an aggregated and structurally abnormal protein, designated PrP(Sc) or PrP-res, which represents a conformational isomer of the ubiquitous surface protein PrP(C). Biochemical and genetic evidence link PrP and its gene to the disease. Although TSEs are by definition transmissible, a growing number of Prnp-associated non-infectious neurodegenerative proteinopathies are now being recognized.
