The condo was located in the Village and you could walk out the door and you were right there..stores, restaurants, SAQ. Great weekend and Nicolas was excellent as well. Great follow up and welcomed us to Tremblant. Will definitely be back.

�promotion does not come from man.<>>It is God who judges� <>>(Psalm 75:6-7)<>>
It�s back-to-school season. We registered our son for the new year and realized that our family is entering a new season, with a higher level of expectancy. Middle School is a lot different than elementary school. Our first reality check came when we saw his class schedule. In 7th grade, his courses include pre-algebra, conversation Spanish, robotics, and athletics. Initially, it looked like a heavy load, but after consideration, we realized that this was a reward for all of the previous hard work and efforts. He has been prepared for the new challenges. In other words, he has been promoted.<>><> >
Promotion is defined as advancing to a higher level. Back in school, we learned via a pre-determined process. Our math teachers always reminded us to show our work, that way there was a record to see errors in your efforts (for correction purposes). We became obedient to following the process in the given examples, and over time, we learned the material. Our reward was promotion to the next challenge, the next course, or the next grade.<>><> >
Promotion, in life, follows a similar process. Remember all of those previous tests and trials? That served to prepare us for our pre-destined purpose, that painful suffering is where glory is revealed. Remember all of that praying about how to solve a problem? That served to remind us to place our burdens at the altar, that He opposes the proud but gives grace and wisdom to the humble. Remember all of the pressing ahead when there seemed no way? That served to remind us of our faith, that all things work for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Remember that praising when we passed the test? That served to remind us to trust in His process, that He who has begun a good work in us shall perfect it. Promotion for our good works requires us to pray, to press ahead, and to offer praise. In other words, in mathematical expression:<> >Promotion = Prayer + Pressing + Praise<>>
At the beginning of the school year, our pastor reminds us of our responsibilities as parents: Raise your children in the church house, so that they can do well in the schoolhouse, never have to visit a courthouse, and one day, will invite you to their house (J. R. Adolph). God will never give you a heavier load than you can bear. He gives you challenges to prepare you for your purposed work. What are you doing to prepare yourself or your children for the challenges and responsibilities that come with promotion to a higher level in life? Feel free to comment, or, send me an email at email@example.com.

Here at The Cavendish London, we have decided to put a few things together to help you get the most out of your stay in London.
From the hit 2005 film comes an adaptation following 5 animals from New York's Central Park Zoo who find themselves on an unexpected journey to Madagascar. Brilliantly recreated to relieve the fun and humour from the hit film, including amazing storytelling, dance and music including everyone's favourite song Move it! Move it!

Join the vibrant Irish community in London for a knees-up and a few pints of fantastic Guinness. Paint it all green this March. The St. Patrick's Day Festival is on the 18th March in Trafalgar Square, but there will be much more going on throughout the bars and pubs in the capital over the whole weekend including the traditional St Patrick's Day parade starting at noon in Trafalgar Square.
Winner of the Best New Musical 2013, The Bodyguard tells the story of Frank Farmer, a secret service agent hired to protect Rachel Marron whom unexpectedly fall in love with each other.

After upgrading to Windows 8 pro on my Samsung Series 7 Chronos NP700Z5C-S04US (may be relevant, I'm not sure), my computer began to stop allowing the execution of any service or application, as well as discontinuing the update of the clock until a hard shutdown was performed.
This seems to occur randomly after periods of inactivity and I've no idea the cause.
These are measures I have already taken in order to attempt to stop this:
-Obviously Googling potential answers to this problem
-Updating all drivers
-Researching all events that have occurred around the time of the failure to respond (with no results)
-I tried applying "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick no" which was a hotfix for what seemed to be the same error but was not.
Here is some more, potentially related, information about the error:
-No BSOD (actually, I haven't at all experienced a BSOD with Windows 8)
-Computer seems to have a problem shutting down/restarting most of the time (Hangs at the point where it should completely turn off)
-New sound instances are not able to play, but previously loaded containers function properly
-As mentioned before, the clock freezes at the time of the error
-USB devices function properly
-Servers that I was running fail to respond on my end, but stay online.
If you require more information, please request it specifically and I will be happy to oblige. Thanks.

I just found out that in 13.10 there's an "add event" button in the calendar that drops down from the panel. Yet i couldn't figure out how to make it work? For me clicking it does nothing. Does it integrate with Google calendar or Lightning at all? What do I have to do to make it work? Or is this button just there to make it look functional?
I appreciate any help. Thanks! :)

Seize the time
There's only minutes left to zero
Just got a little taste
I gotta get some more
Just me and you
Teenage, backstage, sex and outrage
It's like I got
An outboard motor in my bloodstream
And all you've done tonight
Is walk in through the door
No lie - all true
Teenage, backstage, sex and outrage
I think you know
Exactly what I'm trying to get at
The way you move yourself
Should be against the law
It's up to you
Teenage, backstage, sex and outrage

Jesus Christ can change us and can change our world. We are people of hope. When Jesus visited Martha and Mary to console them over the death of their brother Lazarus, even though he had been in the tomb for four days, the sisters said to Jesus, "Even now, I know that God will give you whatever you ask him". Even now. That should be our theme as we fight the evil of abortion. Some will say it has gone on so long it cannot be changed. Others will voice the objection that was raised when Jesus ordered Lazarus' grave opened: there will be a stench. But despite the culture of death, we are called to hope in the God who has not changed, and in his power to defeat abortion. Even now.
–Fr. Frank

Candidate Pledges Equal Pay For Women
John Gregg
(Indianapolis, Ind.) – Indiana gubernatorial candidate John Gregg wants equal pay for working women.
Indiana women earn 74 cents to every dollar a man makes, below the national average of 79 cents. The figure is even lower for minorities.
"The gender wage gap in Indiana is the fifth worst in the country, and that is just unacceptable. We know we can do better," Gregg said.
Gregg, a Democrat, says if he's elected, he'll see that the state take steps to bring women's pay in line with men's.
He proposes four specific plans of action: publicize organizations that promote equal pay, create a governor's award to recognize businesses that support equal pay, create a phone hotline to report workplace incidents against women, and offer women more vocational training programs.
"When we talk about women's issues, what we are really talking about is fairness. We are talking about making sure our mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives are treated with dignity, and have their work rewarded with wages the same as any other citizen," said Gregg.
The former Indiana House Speaker criticized Republican gubernatorial opponent Congressman Mike Pence for voting against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Northwest Coast Woodwork
The Northwest Coast of North America is a narrow strip of land that is bounded on the east by mountains and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. It runs from the southeastern part of Alaska for approximately 2000 miles to the northernmost tip of California, and is characterized by a temperate climate, heavy annual rainfall, and a rain forest of evergreen trees. This is a rugged coast of fjords and islands, where the mountains are steep and often come right to the sea. There are numerous rivers that run east-west through the mountains to the ocean. The dense coastal forests of red and yellow cedars, spruces, fir, and yew support abundant animal life: bear, mountain lion, wolf, fox, deer, elk, mountain goat, and many smaller species of mammals, including several furbearing types - beaver, mink, and otter. Riverine and ocean fish abound, as do marine mammals such as sea lions, seals, and whales. Tidal flats provide habitat for shellfish, and migratory waterfowl are plentiful.
This land of abundant resources provided a rich sustenance for the native peoples of the Northwest Coast. The population is estimated to have been more than 250,000 in pre-European times. There was great linguistic diversity in the area, with at least eight language families represented by more than twice that many languages. These people lived off the bounties of nature - hunting, fishing, and collecting the many resources available. They lived in permanent villages of large wooden houses and developed a complex and sophisticated socio-political and ritual life. (Click here to learn more.) They are famous for their dance dramas and beautiful artwork, particularly that done in wood, basketry, and textiles.
The Northwest Coast cultures are well-known for their magnificent woodworking traditions. From the large cedars and other trees of the area they built their huge houses, constructed great sea-going canoes, sculpted tall totem poles, and carved many beautiful boxes, bowls, dance masks, and other objects. Here we exhibit a sampling of Northwest Coast art in the Jeter Meter Museum collection.

Garlic City—one of Charlotte's most unique "Indie" groups, and also named by CBS Local as one of the "Best Local Rock Bands In Charlotte"— will be playing, live, this Sunday, April 6, with the touring act, Kurtzweil, from Raleigh, NC.
The event goes down at the Bottle Factory Venue, in Monroe, NC, which is actually located in the Coca Cola Event Center. The doors open at 6p.m., with $7tickets available at the door.
As part of the buzz for this upcoming show, Brodie Cole went on to say: "We are so excited about this show, so please, please, please do your best to come out and have an awesome night with us…We are also so excited for our upcoming album entitled, "Minimalist" which will be released this fall…We also have some dear friends, from Raleigh, coming down, and if you love Indie Folk, you are totally going to Love Kurtzweil..!"
As for Garlic City, the group is made up of Elliott Simpson, Bayley Courtland, Mark Eckert, and Brodie Cole. Originally, Garlic City became one, as a result of joining Simpson's solo group, "Garlic Farm," with Cole's solo group, "Skyscraper City." The group continues to raise the bar on its redefined musical style and creativity, through a motto the group refers to as: "Saying so much in so few words." Seemingly, the combination of the group's motto and hard work enables the group to continue producing a, like-no-other, style of interesting music, with a great deal of expression to go with.
Recently, Garlic City released a free downloadable 7" Demo CD. The Demo, which contains two of the group's famous hits, "6807" and "Centaur, Centaur and It's Freezing," was recorded and engineered at Echo Mountain Recording, in Asheville, NC, and appears to be, yet, another Garlic City musical breakthrough, which anxiously awaits the Alternative music world or, perhaps, the other way around...
Not long before, Garlic city also released its 5-track EP, "Lost At Sea." "Lost At Sea," recorded and engineered, locally, at Bench Studios, NC, by Chad Manus and Rick Lapinsky, proves to be another musical, Alternative breakthrough. This particular EP and Garlic City's style of music, in general, seems to offer a very welcoming musical refinement, when compared to other groups around Charlotte's and other music scenes—as in—just when you thought you've heard it all—along comes Garlic City.
For more on Garlic City, you can go directly to the "Shop" link on Garlic City's Website; or, you can check out the group via their Facebook page or on Twitter. Stay tuned for more to come on Garlic City's unique and exciting musical journey, and, definitely, don't miss this Sunday's rare appearance, with Kurtzweil.

I am Assistant Professor at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, in the Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Geneva (Switzerland).
The Brain and Language Lab, which is affiliated with the Dept of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Geneva, aims at better understanding the brain functional and structural bases of speech and language, and of language-related learning. We use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to study the brain functional bases of language and multilingualism, with an emphasis on specific language components such as phonology and grammar, but also on the interplay between non-linguistic functions and second language usage such as during simultaneous interpretation. We also use anatomical MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in order to uncover normative and expertise-related brain structure-behaviour relationships. We look for convergence across functional and structural imaging methods in order to better understand how the brain changes both functionally as well as structurally due to language learning and expertise. Finally, we aim to elucidate the relative contributions of experience versus of pre-existing, possibly innate influences on individual differences in linguistic/auditory skills and brain function/structure.

The Mud-Slinging Continues – Queensryche Fires Back at Geoff Tate's Insults and Legal Filings
This Queensryche thing is getting uglier and uglier. A couple weeks ago, Geoff Tate launched an assault on the other members of Queensryche for kicking him out of the band. He also filed an injunction to stop them from using the band name, as he claimed he owns it. The rest of the guys have now filed their own documents to stop the injunction. (Would that be an injunction for the injunction? My only legal training comes from Matlock.)
Scott, Michael and Eddie (yes, we're on a first name basis, at least in my mind) have painted Geoff as an evil tyrant. That's pretty much the gist of the legal stuff. They say he began assuming control when he set his wife up to run the fan club, then she got their managed fired and brought in someone else she could work with and then fire, taking over the band. They hired a bunch of family members, began blocking the band fro decisions and songwriting, blah blah blah.
They slam him for his hatred of the first five records and not wanting to record music in the style that everyone likes, they slam him for the last three records and the declining sales. Geoff hasn't made it secret that he hates metal and rock, and that he's a pop music fan. The other guys say he thinks the old Queensryche stuff is"stupid", in spite of what the band and the fans want.
Another thing that's coming out, is that supposedly Geoff had negotiated the movie rights to "Operation: Mindcrime" as owned solely by him, excluding the other guys, including Chris DeGarmo! He's been expecting (allegedly) a huge sum of money for it, and says the other guys have been holding up "his money".
What the hell?
Amazingly, and with no grant of authority from the band, Geoff Tate claimed full ownership in the 'Operation: Mindcrime' 'story,' procuring for himself a $150,000 fee, 20% of all royalties, and $10,000 upfront for an option, all payable to him alone
Via Blabbermouth
Chris DeGarmo should come out of retirement (or wherever he is) and slap the crap out of him if this is true.
I wonder if he'll come back to the band if they do go back to their old style. Wouldn't that be cool, even if Geoff was out? I'd rather have another "The Needle Lies" or "Eyes of a Stranger" than anything off the last 5 or 6 albums.
I won't even care if Geoff calls me stupid for that.
Here's the new Queensryche lineup live, featuring new singer Todd La Torre:

Just thinking out loud (or on paper, or, actually computer screen) here. A lot of performers and venues are mentioned in this article. What if, just what if, all of them took a second to share this article with all of their friends and fans on Facebook? Think of the thousands and thousands of new people we could reach. Many of them would go catch a show, folk music would rise again, congress would raise the minimum wage, the Cubs would win the pennant, and there would be peace in the Ukraine. If not, none of that will happen. Just saying.

Newberg's Research
Doesn't Prove Anything
Mike Bast
From: "Mike Bast"
To: "Positive Atheism Magazine" <email@example.com>
Subject: Re: Some responses to Newberg
Date: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 7:13 PM
I don't know if you saw it, but Dr. Newberg was on this morning's Good Morning America, it seems his book is a hot topic. Of course, the media are trying to spin it to the "This shows God created us to worship him" angle, but he wouldn't say either way what he thought.
From: "Positive Atheism Magazine" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
To: "Mike Bast"
Subject: Re: Some responses to Newberg
Date: Tuesday, May 01, 2001 8:51 PM
Newberg openly admits that his work does not show that God created us to worship. He will only go so far as to suggest that if there is a God, then He would need to use the human nervous system to communicate with us (not true if one accepts the existence of the incorporeal "soul" or "spirit" of a human). Thus (says Newberg), if God must use the human nervous system to commune with humans, then perhaps (says Newberg) He designed this function into the human brain.
The whole idea is far-fetched from both a materialistic sense and from a Fundamentalist Christian sense. We will hear a lot from the Intelligent Design camp, but I suspect that the overall, long-term impact will be an increased amount of skepticism toward the supernatural.
This will also provide a vehicle for popularizing our position that the entire Intelligent Design Argument places the cart before the horse. The only way to prove, empirically, that a watch was created is to travel to Switzerland (or wherever) and meet the watchmaker who put the thing together. Until they cough up a creator, the Intelligent Design Argument still boils down to this: "Anything this complex just has to have a creator because it's so -- complex!" The more sophisticated Christian apologists realize this, and shun indirect attempts at persuasion such as the Intelligent Design Argument, preferring simply to admit that they presuppose the existence of the Christian god. While this style of apologetics serves as a neat buffer from criticism, it also is not very persuasive toward winning converts. It is, however, the more honest of the two approaches, in my opinion.

Deck Lighting Options – Basic Considerations
With America's growing passion for outdoor living, decks are growing in popularity. In addition to extending the living area of your home, decks increase property value. They also offer flexibility for homes built on terrain with variances of levels and slopes.
Deck lighting is an integral part of your overall deck design. If you are working with a contractor, the lighting will be part of the project and your contractor is an excellent source of information and expertise in creating effective deck lighting. If you are either building your deck yourself, or changing existing lighting, here are main things to consider:
Safety First
When your deck is illuminated for night use, it's vitally important that you, your family, and your guests are safe. Lighting on steps and those leading from seating and cooking areas into the home is critical. When people are relaxing and/or entertaining, where to step needs to be clear and well lit. If cords or wires are not hidden within the design of the deck, they must be placed and secured so there is no chance of anyone tripping on them.
Easy on the Eyes
Placement of lighting for conversation and dining pleasure is important. And if you cook outside, your grill and food staging areas need to be well lit. These different lighting needs call for different solutions. When seated, you and your guests want enough light to see one another, but fixtures should be placed so light isn't glaring or shining directly in peoples' faces and eyes. Task lighting for cooking should be focused on the grill and staging area, and able to be turned off separately from the rest of the deck's lighting.
Style and Ambiance
The range of lighting styles is enormous. A general rule of thumb is to either match or coordinate with the style of the exterior lighting on your home and elsewhere on your property. If you make your basic lighting selections with this blending aspect in mind, you can add unique lighting elements with lanterns, fountains, and so forth.
Practicality will play into your deck lighting choices, as will cost. After considering the basics listed above, you can look at the bounty of deck lighting selections with more understanding about how to illuminate your deck for maximum effectiveness and enjoyment.

Welcome to the Royal Thai Restaurant Aberdeen
Open 7 days a week. Mon-Sat 12.00pm - 2.30pm / 5.00pm - 11pm and Sunday 5pm - 10pm
Thai food has become a staple in Scotland, taking its place proudly alongside other world cuisines. It is no surprise then that in Aberdeen when people like to dine they like to dine in the longest established Thai restaurant in the city, the Royal Thai which has been open since 1992.
While oil and industry investment makes for a greater emphasis on socialising and dining out in Aberdeen, the fresh availability of fish and seafood is perhaps even more significant in creating the kinds of dishes and menus endorsed by the Thai community of the north east.
They take their seats beside everybody else for the best and most authentic Thai dining experience available.
Located on Crown Terrace, the Royal Thai may evoke some well-loved traditions in Thai cuisine but this is not a place to rest on past glories.
Recently acquiring head chef Yiam Dokpudsha from Edinburgh, new menus reflect the consummate skills brought to Aberdeen by this master of Thai food preparation and cooking.
All the bright flavours and contrasting textures of the Thai culinary ethos are in play, combined with the exotic ingredients and the freshest local produce which help define the very best Thai dishes and specialities. Fresh seafood is delivered every day from catches off the north east coast, forming the basis for many Thai flavours, from the delicate to the vibrant.
While diners invariable come to the Royal Thai for the food it is the setting and the ambience which makes for a complete dining experience. Charming and attentive staff are on hand to ensure the best of service and the comprehensive wine list has something which will provide the perfect accompaniment to any dish.
With all that is on offer it is little wonder that the Royal Thai is a popular place and so prior booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.

Here's a nifty idea for fall decor using upcycled drapery finials from Jeanette at Homa Style. She brought home some pumpkins/gourds this fall. None of the three had stems. Jeanette decided it would be fun to top the pumpkins with her collection of finials.
Not sure what a finial is? It's the decorative end cap on a drapery rod. And guess what? They look great as faux pumpkin stems, too! This is a fun way to add a bit of unexpected whimsy to a fall vignette.
You can see all the steps Jeanette took to achieve this fun look at Homa Style.

Asala sings for victory in October
Syrian singer Asala Nasri stood alongside Egyptian singers to participate in an opera entitled "Roh El Watan" (The Country's Soul). The wordings are written by poet Baha Jaheen and composed by Amir Abed Al Majeed and distributed by Yehya Al Moji.
The opera was sung after President Husni Mubarak speech in remembrance of 6th October. Right after the president finished his speech the chorus of singers began the opera honoring the memory of the October war that Egypt won against their enemy. Egyptian singers Ali Al Hajar and Muhammad Al Hilo sang with Asalah and the production was done by her husband Tareq Al Aryan will produce it.
According to the London daily Elaph, poet Baha Jaheen is proud to be part of this wonderful project. This is also his second time to participate in the October event. Begore the performance by Angham, Ali Al Hajar and Muhammad Al Hilo also, and a number of other singers joined like: Angham, Shireen, Ehab Tawfiq and Khaled Salim.
Jaheen adds that the new project returns the soul of October 6th War, and it represented a wonderful accomplishment in the history of the Egyptian people when different social classes all stood side by side to fight and gain their land back. They found out that they had to react and nothing comes by wishful thinking. The Egyptian army back then entered Suez Canal and gained it back from the Israeli army.

ANNOUNCE: som-4.0 (for data analysis and visualisation)
Amy de Buitléir <amy <at> nualeargais.ie>
Do you have some data that you'd like to understand better? I'm happy to announce a new release of a package called som that may help: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/som https://github.com/mhwombat/som/wiki (wiki) A Kohonen Self-organising Map (SOM) maps input patterns onto a regular grid (usually two-dimensional) where each node in the grid is a model of the input data, and does so using a method which ensures that any topological relationships within the input data are also represented in the grid. This implementation supports the use of non-numeric patterns. In layman's terms, a SOM can be useful when you want to discover the underlying structure of some data. I have a brief tutorial in the wiki, which I hope to expand over the next few weeks. WHAT'S NEW - It is now easier to for non-math types to create a SOM (see defaultSOM) - Added another example to the wiki

LG Optimus 3D Specs Rolling in at MWC 2011
We are learning more information regarding the Optimus 3D, which has been leaked and known for quite some time. At least now, however, we are beginning to learn all the specifics. As we get some more hands-on time we will update you with what we find out. For now we have an official press release, some cheesy videos, and some specs.
Here are some of the outlined specs:
- 1GHz Dual-Core and Dual-Channel TI OMAP4 processor
- 4 GB LP DDR2 and 8 GB memory
- 1500 mAh battery
- 4.3-inch 3D WVGA display with 480 x 800 resolution with glasses-free 3D parallax barrier screen
- Video recording: 1080p in 2D, 720p in 3D
- HDMI 1.4 and DLNA connectivity
- 5 MP dual-lens camera to record stereoscopic 3D
A few notes about the Optimus 3D. First, PhoneArena is reporting that the Optimus 3D is scoring a benchmark of almost 3000 on the performance test, which means it's the fastest stock dual-core phone to date.
If 3D is not your thing, the 3D screen overlays can be turned off.
The Optimus 3D will be arriving in Europe early Q2, and then branch out afterwards. The price is still unknown at this point.
Below you'll find a couple commercials about the Optimus 3D as well as the full press release.
Press Release:
Barcelona, Feb. 14, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) today officially unveiled the eagerly-awaited LG Optimus 3D, the high-performance smartphone offering the world's first full 3D experience, at Mobile World Congress 2011.
The LG Optimus 3D introduces a number of innovative "first" technologies, including the world's first dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture as well as the first 3D platform allowing for recording, viewing and sharing of 3D content.
Superb Performance with Unique "Tri-Dual" Configuration
The LG Optimus 3D is a showcase of superior speed and power made possible with LG's unique "tri-dual" configuration — dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory. This configuration enables users to enjoy significantly improved performance and run-time compared to smartphones offering 1GHz dual-core processors.
Unlike other single-channel, single-memory dual-core smartphones, the LG Optimus 3D offers significant performance benefits as a result of the simultaneous — and thus faster — transfer of data between the dual-core and dual-memory. Users can browse web pages, multitask between programs, play games at a higher frame rate and enjoy movies more smoothly and longer than ever before.
"Backed by a combination of superb performance and full 3D, we're excited about the prospects of the LG Optimus 3D taking the smartphone experience to a much higher level," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Mobile Communications Company. "We've incorporated every feature for the power user and we think they'll be pleased with what they see."
World's First Full 3D Experience: 3D Recording-Viewing-Sharing
The LG Optimus 3D's dual 5MP lens camera allows users to capture and record their best moments as images and videos in 3D anytime, anywhere. The LG Optimus 3D's 4.3-inch WVGA display faithfully recreates the 3D experience without the use of glasses. The display provides bright and flicker-free images allowing users to view 2D (up to 1080p) and 3D (up to 720p) multimedia content. And users can navigate through the device's 3D interface with the click of LG's unique 3D Hot Key which presents five 3D-dedicated UIs, including Gallery, Camera, Game&Apps, YouTube 3D and 3D Guide.
Captured 3D content is easily shared via an HDMI 1.4 connection to 3D TVs and monitors and also is compatible with DLNA Certified™ products. What's more, users can easily upload and stream 3D content and share each other's creations on YouTube's dedicated 3D channel (youtube.com/3D).
The LG Optimus 3D will be rolled-out globally starting with Europe early in the second quarter. The phone will initially be released with Android 2.2 (Froyo) and will be upgradeable to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The upgrade schedule will be announced in local markets in due course.
Key Specifications:
? 1GHz Dual-Core Dual-Channel processor (Texas Instruments OMAP4)
? 4.3-inch 3D WVGA screen
? 8GB memory and 4Gb LP DDR2
? 1,500 mAh battery
? 5MP dual-lens camera
? 2D: 1080p MPEG-4/H.264 recording and playback
? 3D: 720p H.264 SEI recording and playback
? H.264, H.263, DivX, MKV, WMV-9, ASF, AVI, 3GP, MP4


text: I'm the publicist for the Sticks and I love this write-up about our big events coming up to celebrate New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It's great fun to follow the route that's been designed and see the sights along the way ~ you'll meet some of the nicest people, too. Don't forget that there's a huge fireworks display in Old Sacramento at 9:00 pm on New Year's Eve and it's great fun to walk over to the Promenade with other walkers and watch them go off. The Sticks are an active walking group with group walks on Tues/Thurs/Friday mornings as well as Wed night. There's always somewhere to explore on the weekends, too; we're inexpensive, a great workout and a great way to meet new friends.

Anyone giving there LO gerber puffs? How did you know your LO was ready? How old is your LO? My LO has been super drooly so I'm sure it would melt quickly but I'm afraid she may choke. She's doing everything the box says...she's not actually crawling but she is picking things up with her fingers now and putting it in her mouth.
I'm still feeding them to her I'm just breaking them in half for her. She is doing okay with the halves. I think she just has to get use to them being in her mouth.
DD has had them for almost 3 months now. With my first I waited too long to offer them ie at 8-9 months and he gagged on everything and became picky about picking stuff up with his fingers. He is fine now at 4 and not so picky but I definately think there is a window of time of when to offer.
Mom to C 4/3/08 and B 2/25/12 All done :)
We've been doing puffs for about 2 months now, and DS has no teeth yet. He loves the things! When you do decide your LO is ready (I knew because he was putting everything else he could find in his mouth, so I figured actual food wouldn't be as bad as say, the dog's tail, or his sister's apple slices....) keep in mind that if they get wet and don't stay in the mouth, they stick to everything, and once they dry, they're next to impossible to clean off, including in hair and eyebrows. They're easy while they're still wet, though.
Also, if you haven't already, perfect the finger-sweep. You reach one finger into LO's mouth, and hook out anything you find there. You're going to be using it daily for a long time to come (if you haven't already), as your LO finds pieces of paper, pet food pieces, shoe laces, (obviously) food, hair ties, straw wrappers, twisty ties, bread bag closures, tags from various items...... all the lovely things that you try your damndest to keep away from them. They'll even start knocking over the trash can to get at the stuff you just threw away - just like puppies do. Oh, the joys of the inquisitive stage :)
That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.
My girls are nine months tomorrow- we just started baout 3 weeks ago, one has teeth one does not. they both LOVE them! I was scared about the choking thing-especially for my baby that has no teeth yet- but she just gums away and loves them!!! She struggles a little with picking them up- usually ends up with more stuck in her palm, or to her arm, or leg, or in the chair, but they keep them amused!!!
Mother to Nicholas and Isabella- lost on 02/01/2011- I love you and miss you everyday
DS has been having puffs for a couple of months, just recently started getting teeth. They do disolve quickly, but they still have to learn what to do with them in their mouths. DS got one caught in the back of his throat once early on and caused a gag reflex and he puked. He was nowhere near choking, just caused him to gag and puke. So it was a mess and he was upset but ok. I always make sure to keep an eye on him when he's eating just to be safe though. Some of the bigger items, like the cheese doodles, wagon wheels and mum mums, we still have issues with. He tries to put way too much in his mouth, so I have to break them up into little pieces.
FTM at 40. Lucas Henry born 13 Feb 2012.
I've been giving them to LO, and he LOVES them. It works wonders when you are trying to eat and LO wants to eat what you have too.
ETA: I also recently started doing the wheel ones. I like them better as they are little bigger so he can't put the whole thing in his mouth at once.
Gagging at the beginning is very normal. It's them learning how to not choke/handle more solid things going down their throat. My son is old hat with puffs/rice cakes/etc but he still has the occasional gag. It is not necessarily a negative thing unless it's happening every time. I know it's scary though!
Although it may be that she just doesn't like puffs. My son is not a huge fan - he prefers the rice cups made by Wal-Mart's store brand (Parents Choice).
