Magical Realism of a Fantastical Farmhouse in the Brazilian Mountains
Dom Vicoso is a delightfully playful vacation villa in Minas Gerais by Brasil Arquitetura.
Very cute but curious white grillwork lets in air, while keeping out… lions, tigers and panthers?
The same white grillwork is repeated along a clerestory on the other side of the house – overlooking an almost mythical scene.
The villa employs the quirkiest combination of the magical and the wonderful – timber pillars are mounted on rocks and wood is stained hot pink.
Red is the feature color throughout the old farmhouse kitchen with traditional wood stove.
A rock keeps the dining table – from flying away?
The use of friendly red accents and the white-washed walls is contrasted by rustic timbers used as poles.
There's the first hint of this witty use of colour from outside.
Masonry walls of lime-washed brick are used both for the larger public living space and the smaller sleeping block.
For hot nights, an outdoor hammock offers lazing in the open air.
The rugged landscape of the Serra da Mantiqueira is the remote setting for the playful farmhouse.
The house is set on the site of a 100 year old coffee farm, and has an old farmhouse oven outside so the breezes will help dissipate heat from cooking.
By contrast with the lime washed walls and red trim, a traditional stacked stone wall encloses a grassy carpet, creating a 'room' feeling outdoors.
It all adds up to a cosy and friendly family vacation home in an incredible setting.
Even aside from the charming and witty design, the view is almost out of this world. A magic place.
Design Dilemma: 5 Tips to a Clean Spring
The itch begins in mid-March. As the days get longer and brighter, there is an urge to refresh, renew and toss. The goal is something clean and pared down. Restful and spacious. And in the kitchen, we want to see (and use!) the countertops again!
A dream kitchen drawer might be as convenient and organized as this:
So how do we get to this? Decluttering and organizing has become of intense interest these days, perhaps a reflection of a consumerist culture where people tend to buy and own too much. There's a real reason why Japanese decluttering expert Marie Kondo has become world famous. After a few trips to the big box store where you can pick up things in bulk, you quickly find your closets chock full of things you never use. And for those of us who are not used to the idea of editing our possessions from time to time, the result can be suffocating, a home in which nearly every once-functional space is taken over by rarely used objects. At that point, our objects OWN us! To help you get organized this Spring, we've pulled together a few tips which can help you reclaim your home from chaos.
- Discard first.
According to Marie Kondi, the Japanese decluttering wizard, organizing requires that you discard unused, outworn, or broken objects first. She suggests that we begin with clothes since clothes and shoes are what we buy most frequently and they quickly run amok. Kondi suggests tossing anything that does not bring you a "spark of joy." We agree with this, but for those who have difficulty actually knowing what they like and don't like, we suggest tossing items that are clearly ready to go — socks with no mates, pants that don't fit or never looked good, worn-out sneakers, that Christmas sweater your Aunt Mary gave you that you never liked. For anything not worn out, fill up a bag to donate to charity. Kondi suggests that for maximum effect, you clean out everything in one fell swoop, but in circumstances where a house is particularly large and cluttered, it makes more sense to bite off little chunks at a time — the coat closet, the shoe rack, the linen cabinet.
2. Learn how to fold clothes.
It sounds silly, but learning how to fold clothes properly can make a huge difference in how much your drawers can contain and also in the sensation of order in your closets. Kondi suggests folding clothes into neat little packets that stand up on end. This allows you to store your clothes vertically, which, in turn, allows you to see everything you own, every time you open a drawer. Knowing what you own prevents you from running out to buy a new black sweater when you somehow can't find your seven other black sweaters. Google "KonMari Folding Method" to see a video on how it's done. It works!
3. Focus on documents and papers.
Aside from clothes, the other problem area in most homes seems to surround the home office. Flyers, bills, important documents and store coupons, when not pruned daily, quickly turn into a tsumami of paper. There are a few simple solutions to this. First, find what is important — birth certificates, marriage certificates, wills, leases, insurance papers, warranties, tax returns. Keep them in one place — in an organized fire proof strong box. Knowing where all the important things are, frees you up to toss what's not, which is nearly everything else. Old flyers, magazines, coupons, can be tossed immediately. Most paid invoices and credit card statements you can toss, unless you need to hang onto them for tax purposes. Store documents vertically, in labeled, divided binders where you can easily find what you need when you need it. Eliminate all piles.
4. Devise a place for everything.
Your home will continue to be and feel cluttered until you find a dedicated space to store things. Once you have that space, use it! If you followed the very first step of discarding the unnecessary, you should have no trouble finding a little extra space in cupboards, drawers and closets to store things that had once spilled out of all those things. Once you see how easy it is to find things when you need them, you will continue to use that dedicated space, and your problem with clutter will be solved.
5. Adjust your attitude.
Once you've begun the decluttering process, you will notice something strange. You will feel clearer, more energetic, inspired to tackle new challenges and focus on areas of your life that perhaps went neglected. You may be inspired to begin a new fitness or beauty routine, or to spend more time with a hobby. You'll also discover that you will love your home more. You will find it more usable, and find it easier to find the things you need. You will notice that you buy less, because you can see everything that you have at once, and you realize, you have plenty. After a period of living with less clutter, you will find even more clutter you can toss, and you will embrace fully the ideally of living simply — only with as much as you need and use and nothing more. It's a really, really great feeling!
A few more decluttering tips:
- Toss only your own stuff. If family members see the progress you make in putting your own closet in order, they are likely to get inspired to do the same!
- Don't let junk mail collect. The day it comes in, toss it directly into the recycling bin.
- Go paperless. Most regular bills can now be delivered online. And you should sign up for automatic deductions and online bill pay too.
- Don't get trapped by objects designed to organize. You actually need to buy very little to get organized. In most cases, objects designed to help you organize just create more clutter.
- Don't use plastic bins. Instead, if you need extra storage for your closet, invest in plastic drawers that pull out. Plastic bins with a lid on top are hard to access and lead to more clutter in the long run when you can't find things.
- Make things easy to put back. When deciding how to store something, make it a cinch to put it away.
Three Families Are Well Accommodated in a Sweet Space in Flushing
A charming but almost ironic little house in the suburbs has a secret.
Tiny as it is, it was designed to house an extended family in one building.
The architects create three disparate dwellings with areas of connection and overlap.
Each gets their own little townhouse within the shared structure.
The lower level, which opens up to the sunken terraced garden, is where the the matriarch of the family, the grandmother lives.
But her floor also provides a shared living space where the whole family can gather.
Gardening is grandmother's hobby.
For the client; a vibrant youthful home for himself, his wife and their two small children.
Light is cleverly pulled down the stairwell into the interior with a fabric screen.
A homework space is cleverly tucked under the brother's stairs.
The tall slice on the street side creates a townhouse-feeling triplex for the brother and his wife who live as neighbours with the client.
Theirs is a rather more sedate space in the cleverly designed home(s).
Skylights bring light from above.
A fresh and sunlit bedroom looks out over the suburban setting.
The clever little house by O'Neill Rose Architects overlooks charming designs from yesteryear in Queens, New York.

P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }A:link { }
In his monthly report to Houston City Council Wednesday April 7, Comptroller Ronald Green reported 27 million budget surplus for the fiscal year. The monthly financial report included both an increase in property and sales tax revenues over projections and substantial reductions in several departments. Finance Director Kelly Dow's report was based on 8 months of actual figures and 4 months of projections. In accordance with rules adapted earlier for the current budget, any surplus will be carried over to next year.
The report was welcome news since unexpectedly high overtime costs for the Houston Fire Departments had raised concerns earlier this year, and estimates for next year suggest a deficit of as much as $85 million. But contracts negotiations with the Police, Fire and Municipal employees unions are still under way, and the city does not yet have the annual charge for the Firemen's' pension. View and download the Comptroller's Office Reports..
Council member Martin asked if there was a risk of higher last-minute spending before the end of June. Mr. Dow explained that he expected no major change in the last quarter of the fiscal year. He believed the surplus could be slightly higher than $27 million. The Mayor explained that Houston does not have a "spend it or lose it" rule, meaning that departments are not threatened with budget reductions if they operate at less than their projected budgets. Consequently, there is no incentive for them to depart from current below-budget spending. View or download Annual and monthly Municipal Budget and reports on-line.
Council Member Bradford asked for clarification on the reason for the surplus. Comptroller Green explained that the primary change was higher-than estimated sales tax revenues. Council member Costello, chairman of the Finance Committee, pointed out that the debt of the city has shown a significant reduction, largely because of the change to the "pay as you go" approach to financing infrastructure improvements under Rebuild Houston. The Mayor noted that no other major city in America has experienced a similar debt reduction

Animated GIFs of lusting after pizza; Action ballets saturated with smarm; The word "cuhrayzee." These constituted most of my impressions of the Devil May Cry franchise for some time, and considering my growing appreciation for the over-the-top character action genre it helped to spawn it seemed like as good a time as any to go back to its roots and finally see what I'd been missing out on all this time. Based on my admittedly limited knowledge going in I expected something along the lines of a rough-around-the-edges Clover/Platinum action title, maybe something not terribly unlike a simpler God Hand with swords.
Was I ever wrong.
All hopes aside, I can say with confidence that one thing I definitely didn't expect was a survival horror-style camera, but there it was, mocking me at every possible turn. "Oh, you were trying to jump to that moving platform? Let me just swing around to the other side of the room mid-leap." "Do you like all those pillars in the room? Me too! Let me just zoom in on that one for you. Oh, were you fighting? I didn't notice."
I'd heard at one point that this started life as a Resident Evil game and was reworked during development, but even without that piece of information going in I think I'd have been able to connect the dots after a few minutes of play. Besides the infuriating camera, backtrack-heavy exploration and arcane item retrieval to solve environmental puzzles were lifted straight from the RE playbook, and even if the infamous tank controls aren't in use the player/character interface is surprisingly clunky for a title leaning so hard on its action. I'll admit I'm not always the best at games like this, but when dodging and rolling actions are available and recovery from the overwhelming majority of enemy guards is twice as long as the time it takes them to retaliate I start to question their point.
Really, most of the shortcomings I noticed while playing this stemmed from the game's inability to break free from its original mold, and where this was most frustrating when it came to trying to marry survival and action sensibilities through interface it was most disappointing when applied to the narrative. DMC hangs on to that early PS1 so-bad-it's-good B-movie quality of acting just enough to keep anything from being too serious, but in its attempts to veer more towards the badassed it loses a lot of the ham and cheese that made the initial Resient Evil FMVs so charming. Glimpses into later entries in this series assure me that this is one shortcoming that gets adjusted for (and HARD), but here I was left wanting.
It wasn't all bad times guiding Dante through a castle full of evil marionettes, lizardmen, and giant lava spiders, though. Unpolished as it was, I could see the foundation of many titles to come in DMC's combat system, more than anywhere in the upgrade paths for each weapon style. I tend to favor quicker, lighter characters and barehanded fighting styles, so this time I found myself confronted with the unique dilemma of Ifrit, a pair of fiery gloves that favor slow, powerful roundhouse strikes. This led to uneven expenditure of red orbs on skills as I bounced between fists and sword, unable to settle on a style favoring my mechanical or aesthetic tastes. I have no one to blame but myself, but there it is. Pity me. My life is pain. ...stop laughing.
The more I reflect on the original Devil May Cry, especially based on the promises of what's to come both in its own series and its genre, the more it comes off as an uncut diamond. You know its potential by word of mouth and there's just enough hewn from the surface to give you an idea of what it could be, but on its own merits it has a long way to go. By a combination of action game rustiness and the above technical shortcomings I floundered my way through Normal difficulty, comforted only by awareness of the game's difficult reputation and some judicious use of health items. Every recommendation assures me that DMC2 is best left skipped, so when I come back to the series - which I hope to be relatively soon - it'll be with number 3.
CHALLENGE: cleared (Normal difficulty, 2 hidden missions)

Then again, anxiety symptoms are also known to be pretty normal, as
they are part of the natural "fight or flight" reaction to stress or
danger. Hence, there cannot be any human who has not felt anxiety at
all. I certainly have experienced anxiety enough times myself. In
particular, with what is going on with the economies around the world in
recent weeks, anxiety reportedly is at heightened levels once again.
Many people are feeling stressed at the thought of losing their jobs,
homes and material possessions.
What Anxiety Symptoms Can Include
Anxiety first shows up in bodily reactions. You may break out in a
sweat, your hands tremble, blood drains from your face, and your knees
go weak. These can be momentary and therefore not serious. However,
more serious reactions include heart attacks and eventually causing
death. Undoubtedly, mild anxiety can cause you a feeling of discomfort
but extreme anxiety can be debilitating. In a severe case of extreme
anxiety, symptoms can range from range heart palpitations, social
withdrawal, mood swings, nervousness, depression and so on.
Where anxiety symptoms are often triggered by presenting situations, I
have also been noticing many cases where a person suffers from anxiety
almost every single day. Take my friend, Angeline, for instance. She
is always in a rush, speaks with a high-pitched tone, and feels as if
everything is in a state of emergency.
I cannot say that her symptoms are severe to warrant being diagnosed
as having the medical condition of a severe anxiety disorder. While she
has not had a panic attack, she has been experiencing a loss in
confidence, a low ability to concentrate and insomnia. Sad to say, her
world is driven by a lot of fear.
Cluttered, her mind cannot sort and prioritize. She finds herself
focusing on details that do not matter in the grand scheme of things.
As a result she often experiences paralysis whenever she needs to make a
decision. While excessive worrying has not prevented Angeline from
functioning on a daily basis, I have observed how miserable it can be
living in a state of heightened agitation all the time.
Build Awareness to Everyday Anxiety Symptoms
Anxiety is a symptom of fear. Mostly, fear is a creation of the
mind. Where no real threat exists, it is possible to learn how to
better cope. You may feel as if you are about to be harmed, annihilated
or rendered useless but your projected fears are mostly psychological.
Hence, if your mind can create the fear, it is possible to eliminate or
reduce it to a level that is manageable.
Building awareness is key. It is important not to get anxiety levels
out of hand. While I do not like the idea of labeling, be mindful that
your excessive worrying may put you at risk of developing what the
medical profession will call as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The
excessive worrying interferes with daily functioning. A person who has
a GAD suffers from irrational fears on almost everything for at least
six months or more.
Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms can vary. They can include:
• Extreme irritability;
• Muscle tension or muscle aches
• Obsession about small or large concerns
• Feel as if you are living on the edge; Restlessness and feeling keyed up or on edge
• Chronic fatigue;
• Difficulty breathing;
• Difficulty concentrating or your mind "going blank"
• Insomnia and restlessness at night
• Sweating, nausea or diarrhea
• Rapid heartbeat;
• Anticipation of disaster
Do not be mistaken into believing that it is just adults who can
suffer from GAD. Apparently, a child can too. Obsessive Compulsive
Disorders are also conditions with heightened anxiety as one of the
Angeline would like to think that she has been coping; however, I
think she is missing the signs that her anxiety levels have not receded
one bit over the years. I hope that instead of brushing her issues
aside, she does not procrastinate but take some concrete action soon.
As the famed British preacher and prolific author, Charles Spurgeon once
Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

Feeling like Regina George...
Friday, September 06, 2013
I have a quick half hour to blog before class... A lot has happened in the last two days. Some of you may have noticed my fitness minutes climbing up.
So right after my last blog I started looking up the rates for the YMCA. In my area they�re running a special where they waive the $100 joining fee and you pay the dollar amount of the date. I went downstairs and convinced my mom to join with me, so for $3 instead of $100 (plus the $59/mo) we joined the Y.
Now I also stepped on a scale and it read 200.4. *dead silence* So apparently getting down to 191 about a month ago, it has ALL come back. I don�t even know how that�s physically possible unless it�s a few pounds of water weight that I�m HOLDING onto reeeeally tight again.
I also signed up for the myfitsperation.com Diet Bet team. Hopefully by throwing $25 in the pot, I can motivate myself to actually get moving again. Tuesday I joined the Y and ran around making sure I had an appropriate swim suit and goggles. Wednesday I went with my mom to work out and got in about 45 minutes of cardio. Thursday morning I went again with my mom and felt even more tired but did the Cybex for 20 minutes and a little biking for the last 10... so I barely got 30 minutes in.
Then last night my friend Erin called me asking if I wanted to ride bikes with her on the trail. She does this a lot. My butt has not been on a bike in like 2 years. So I got my mom�s bike ready and we took off... well she TOOK OFF! She kept saying, go faster, and you�ll get faster. Turning around and yelling encouragement at me. I literally felt like I was going to fall off and pass out. Finally I got about � of the way she wanted to go and I just had to be like... if I keep going, I will not be able to make it back before dark with you. So I told her to ride ahead, go as fast as she wants, and when she turned around and caught me we�d ride back together. I didn�t want to keep her from getting in her full workout, I know its always hard to have someone slowing you down when you really want to feel the burn.
The plan is for me to join her once a week or so on Thursdays until I build up my endurance enough to keep up with her for longer bike rides. I can tell you today my butt, my tailbone specifically is SOOOOO SORE. An hour at a decent clip might have been too much for my first bikeride in awhile, but Erin was taking no excuses! It was a dang decent workout too. My armband could definitely tell that I was moving, and I got some �vigorous� exercise minutes. Part of my problem at home may have been that I wasn�t pushing myself hard enough. On the professional machines at the gym, and out on the actual trail, I was pushing myself a lot harder than I normally do.
The plan for today is swimming. I�m going to go home (since I only work for an hour today) and change, then drive back to the Y with my mom. We both publically have not been in swim suits in awhile. I�m trying not to freak out or have anxiety about it. I think that�s one of the perks of the Y. Yesterday the parking lot was full... so my mom seemed a little nervous. It was full of senior citizens doing a silver sneakers workout. So yea... I don�t really care what a group of seniors thinks about me. There�s no one really my age there at 10:30 AM (since I should really be working) � so it seems a little less stressful.
That�s basically it... no major news... I�m just going to recommit myself and try to use the money as motivation. My clothes are not fitting very well, and I do not want to have to go buy another pair of fat pants. One pair is enough... I feel far too much like Regina George....

Money motivation always gets me too. Im currently on an obsessive spree to get all these tutorials done since its 25 bucks a month- and use the fitness center, oddly enough so I don't feel like Im wasting money. It does work!

If you want some structure to your swims try www.swimplan.com or http://ruthkazez.com/ZeroTo1mile.ht
ml I find that having sets instead of "swim 60 minutes" really helps it go by faster and gives a better sense of accomplishment. Love swimming!

I'm proud of you for trying new things within your program, just stay strong, and I'm sure those few pounds are gonna come off in time! I just tried some running yesterday for a mix up of cardio 25 minutes in the morning, and a 15 minute walk/jog in the evening, and my legs are pretty sore today. I normally use my exercise bike, so running obviously uses completely different muscles and my body isn't used to it yet. Hang in there! xx

"Sweatpants are all that fits me right now." Ha ha, I love Mean Girls!! I don't love that your pants aren't fitting but neither are mine. Ugh, I have definitely put on some love weight. I'm glad that your friend pushed you to go for a vigorous bike ride. I need to push myself to get moving too!

Good for you! You are doing great! I know it is hard, today is the fifth day of my exercise streak and I think it should be getting easier, but it's not so much! *LOL* If it was easy, it wouldn't be worth it, I believe.
Just remember baby steps, one day and one activity at a time. Pretty soon you'll wonder what all the fuss and worry was about.
I'm proud of you!

You never know how your pets will interact and when it comes to birds and cats, there's no question it's a dangerous mix. As cats are predatory animals and birds in the wild often their prey, it's interesting to see how these roles change in the family setting. Often times, it appears cats lose touch with the power they have and let birds become the dominant ones.
Such is the case in this video where an African Grey parrot essentially kicks a cat out of his own cat house, then "bosses" him around by nipping at his tail repeatedly.
The cat shows his manners by never attacking the bird or becoming aggressive, but instead, lets the bird have her way.
Do you own a cat and bird? Do they get along well? Can you take your bird out of the cage and let him or her interact with your cat?
Please share your opinions below and enjoy this video.

Mechanism Of Action
The mechanism of action of ketoconazole in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is not known.
The pharmacodynamics of EXTINA® Foam has not been established.
In a bioavailability study, 12 subjects with moderate to severe seborrheic dermatitis applied 3 g of EXTINA® Foam twice daily for 4 weeks. Circulating plasma levels of ketoconazole were < 6 ng/mL for a majority of subjects (75%), with a maximum level of 11 ng/mL observed in one subject.
Ketoconazole is an antifungal agent which inhibits the in vitro synthesis of ergosterol, a key sterol in the cell membrane of Malassezia furfur. The clinical significance of antifungal activity in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is not known.
Clinical Studies
The safety and efficacy of EXTINA® Foam were evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study in subjects 12 years and older with mild to severe seborrheic dermatitis. In the study, 427 subjects received EXTINA® Foam and 420 subjects received vehicle foam. Subjects applied EXTINA® Foam or vehicle foam twice daily for 4 weeks to affected areas on the face, scalp, and/or chest. The overall disease severity in terms of erythema, scaling, and induration was assessed at Baseline and week 4 on a 5-point Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) scale.
Treatment success was defined as achieving a Week 4 (end of treatment) ISGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (majority of lesions have individual scores for scaling, erythema, and induration that averages 1 [minimal or faint]) and at least two grades of improvement from baseline. The results are presented in Table 2. The database was not large enough to assess whether there were differences in effects in age, gender, or race subgroups.

Newquay is a small English town on the northern coast of the Duchy of Cornwall. The Duchy of Cornwall is rather well known for its picturesque fishing villages and headlands and wild, romantic steep cliffs. When the railway connection was built during the second half of the 19th century, the former fishing village of Newquay became a popular summer holiday destination. Today summer visitors are still attracted to Newquay because of its beautiful sandy beaches, mild temperatures and wild, romantic coastline. Many of the shops in "Britain's surfing capital" have become specialists in the sale and rental of surfing equipment. On Fistral Beach there are even international competitions, but the other beaches also offer ideal surfing conditions. Interesting for sightseers is Newquay are the Blue Reef Aquarium, Trenance Gardens, which opened in 1906, and Trerice, an Elizabethan manor house that belongs to the National Trust.

Hamm reminds Medicare beneficiaries annual enrollment period ends Dec. 31
Post date:
Dec 10, 2009
BISMARCK, N.D.-North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Adam Hamm reminded Medicare beneficiaries today that the Medicare Part D annual enrollment period ends Thursday, Dec. 31.
"It's important for beneficiaries to make sure their prescriptions are covered under the plan they choose for 2010 and that the plan is accepted by their preferred pharmacy," Hamm said.
Eligible North Dakotans can call 2-1-1 through Dec. 15 to compare their current plans with 2010 plans. After answering a few questions, a customized comparison will be sent to callers. Once a plan is chosen, enrolling is easy. Beneficiaries can:
• Enroll directly with the plan by calling the plan's toll-free number
• Call their insurance agent
• Go to www.medicare.gov or call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227
• Call RSVP at 701-258-5436 12:303:30 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
• Call SHIC at 1-888-575-6611
North Dakota Medicare beneficiaries have 46 plans to consider. Beneficiaries who are satisfied with the plans they have do not have to do anything-they will be re-enrolled automatically.
For more information, call SHIC at 1-888-575-6611.

Pros: Not sure yet.
Cons: Price
Pool was saline with the Zodiac duoclear 45 operating well. Huge amounts of rain put the salt bill through the roof $15 per bag in Honduras) Saw nature 2 ad and realised that half the zodiac duoclear is a nature 2 cartridge so reconnected and turnrd off the salt/chlorine element. I super chlorinated the pool to reactivate a 3 month old cartridge and am waiting now for results.5 ppm of chlorine here in honduras is not enough for keeping the pool in good shape. Hoping now I don't have to super chlorinate so often and start dropping down to the .5 ppm they recommend.

UMass Falls To Duquesne In Overtime, 1-0
Oct. 28, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - Josh Patterson scored the game-winning goal for Duquesne seven minutes into overtime as the Dukes defeated Massachusetts 1-0 in men's soccer action at Rudd Field Sunday.
Patterson's team-leading 11th goal of the season came on an assist from Nathan McCann at 97:13.
Duquesne (6-10-1, 3-3-1 Atlantic 10) kept its hopes alive for an A-10 Tournament berth, while UMass (5-9-2, 2-5) isn't completely eliminated from contention for one of the eight spots in the event, but will need to win its final two games and get a lot of help.
The Dukes outshot the Minutemen, 21-10, while forcing UMass senior Brian Frame into seven saves. Sam Frymier made one stop for Duquesne.
UMass will conclude its season on the road next weekend when it travels to Ohio to face Dayton on Friday and No. 12/11 Xavier on Sunday.

Nissan is going to launch a Platinium Edition of the X-Trail 4×4, the compact crossover SUV on sale in Europe since 2001 that shares the same platform with the North American models called Rogue and Sentra. This new special edition will be marketed in the in the United Kingdom only and can be distinguished from the regular version by the extra protection plates on front and rear bumpers and its chrome side steps. In the cabin the Platinum Edition uses leather trim and electric adjustable heated front seats, touch-screen infotainment system with satellite navigation and Bluetooth-iPod connectivity, and a back-up camera displayed in the rearview mirror.
The Nissan X-Trail Platinum Edition will come with a 2.0 dCi diesel engine coupled to either an automatic or a manual transmission. With the latter option, the unit produces 171 hp with an average fuel consumption of 6.4 l/100km. Only 200 units of this special limited edition will be produced, each one with a price tag of 30,000 £ (about 47,000 $ / 36,000 €). Click on the 'Continue reading' linkto see the official Press Release.

via | Autoblog.com
X-Trail Platinum Edition Shows Its Metal
- New special edition luxury version of X-TRAIL 4×4
- Enhanced, range-topping specification
- Available to order now starting at £29,180
- Platinum is a special kind of metal, offering both beauty and toughness. It's the inspiration behind a new special version of Nissan's X-TRAIL4×4.
As the name suggests, the new Platinum edition X-TRAIL is a real luxury item, with additional equipment not seen on any of the other models in the range and a touch more glamour too.
The front and rear of the vehicle gets extra protection and style with the fitment of additional protection plates located below the bumpers. The side is treated to chrome side steps and chrome door protection mouldings.
On the inside the Platinum features leather upholstery and electrically-adjustable, heated front seats. A sophisticated new touch screen communication unit features satellite navigation, iPod connectivity and Bluetooth. To help protect your investment there's also a reversing camera, with the image transmitted onto a small screen incorporated into the rear view mirror.
Powering the Platinum is the X-TRAIL's advanced 2.0dCi diesel engine with a choice of either manual or automatic transmissions. The manual produces a healthy 173PS and yet can return an average of 44.1mpg.
But unlike its precious inspiration, the X-TRAIL Platinum is not expensive. In fact it costs less than the Tekna version on which it's based, starting at £29,180 for the manual and £30,560 for the automatic.
Orders are now being taken now, but Platinum is a real rarity, with just 200 being produced.

I know that this weapon hasn't been fired in ~15 years - my friend bought it and never used it.
The cylinder rolls and everything seems to function properly when I dry fire it.
I've checked the cylinder lockup and movement after I cocked the hammer and then rechecked after I squeezed
(and held) the trigger.
All in all the weapon seems solid...with the exception of some normal wear and tear.
What other items should I check before I run some rounds through it?
Thanks in advance,

The original Uplifting Entertainment (UP) film 'Comeback Dad,' written by Kimberly Walker and directed by Russ Parr debuted on Saturday, June 21st at the 18th annual American Black Film Festival in New York City. The film stars Charles S. Dutton (Rudy, "Roc"), Tatyana Ali ("Love That Girl!," "The Fresh Price of Bel-Air") and Brad James ("For Better or Worse") along with Loretta Devine (UP's Saving Westwood High, "Grey's Anatomy"). 'Comeback Dad' is set around the drama involving the reconciliation of an alcoholic father and his daughter's emotional road to recovery from their severed relationship. Tatyana Ali's character leads as Nima Babineaux, a skilled pianist who owns a music school and undergoes the journey of forgiving her father Othell played by Charles Dutton.
Best known for his role as Todd in the hit sitcom Tyler Perry's For Better or Worse, Brad James plays Spence opposite of Ali as her fiancé. James' character balances the relationship with his fiancé with her estranged father sympathizing with the reconciliation and Othello's disparity. He admits that understanding and relating to the human experience helped shape his role as Spence for the film. James reveals that he felt blessed shooting 'Comeback Dad' and is proud to not have to cringe & worry on the message of the film. He truly values working with Dutton as a mentor, "I learned a lot during the entire ABFF premiere process watching Charles Dutton. He is one of the great actors of our time and is willing to impart information and knowledge," James stated.
'Comeback Dad' was written by ABFF 2013 Honorable Mention Winner Kimberly Walker from last year's UP Faith & Family Screenplay Competition. "We are excited to premiere the movie 'Comeback Dad,' a moving, emotional, beautifully-shot father-daughter film, at this year's ABFF," said Brad Siegel, vice chairman, UP. "The scripts that we receive for the UP Faith & Family Screenplay Competition display the depth of talent and kind of entertaining, contemporary and uplifting stories that we develop and share with our viewers." In addition to screening 'Comeback Dad,' UP presented a Live Table Read at ABFF where a scene from each of the top three 2014 screenplay finalists were performed live by celebrities and finalists from ABFF's Star Project Acting Competition. It was announced that this year's Grand Prize winner for the 2014 UP Faith & Family Screenplay Competition was 'Island in the Sun' written by Christopher Brandt who received $5,000 during the "ABFF Honors" awards presentation.

Campus Policies
Enrollment Priority
In September 2012 the California Community Colleges Board of Governors approved a regulation to establish system-wide enrollment priorities designed to ensure classes are available for students seeking job training, degree attainment or transfer to a four-year university and to reward students who make progress toward their educational goals.
Beginning Fall 2014, new students who have completed college orientation, assessment and developed education plans as well as continuing students in good academic standing will now have priority over students who do not meet these criteria. To be in good academic standing, a student cannot be on Academic Probation or Progress Probation for two consecutive terms. In addition, students who have accumulated 100 or more units – excluding most basic skills English and math and English as a Second Language classes - by fall 2014 will lose priority enrollment. Students who feel they may be at risk of losing priority status are strongly encouraged to see a counselor to discuss their educational plans. College of Marin's revised enrollment priorities can be found in Administrative Procedure 5055.
Policies on Conduct, Grievances, Harassment & Smoking
All members of the College community are subject to State and Federal laws, as well as policies and procedures established by the Board of Trustees. These policies were developed through the College Governance System and include viewpoints expressed by students.
Four important policies FOR, YOU TO KNOW, THE STUDENT CONDUCT POLICY. the Student (grievance Policy. the Harassment Policy and the Smoking Policy, are outlined in this handbook. Questions regarding the details of these policies and other policies and procedures should be referred to the Student affairs Office or to the Dean of Student Development ;and Special Services.
Student Conduct
All members of the College community share the responsibility for preserving a quality learning environment which ensures that the educational process will continue uninterrupted. Upon enrolling in the College, you assume an obligation to conduct yourself in a manner compatible with the educational purposes of the College. If this obligation is neglected or ignored, the College may institute disciplinary action, following a process which guarantees students their legal rights.
The Student Conduct Policy also includes a complaint that is made by a student against another student. Such a complaint can include the invasion of privacy outside of a classroom situation but occurs either on campus or at a college-sponsored function.
This process begins with an informal step, in which a warning may be issued regarding conduct that is disruptive to the learning environment. A formal process, maintaining the student's legal rights, begins if the conduct continues. The Student Conduct Policy (4.0022) and the Student Conduct Procedure (4.0022 DP. 1), including guidelines on the appeal process, are available from the Dean, Student Development and Special Services, or his/her designee.
Academic Grievance
A complaint which involves a student and a member of the faculty is defined as a student academic grievance. Your grievance shall be limited to issues involved in grading, assignments, and demonstrated mistreatment. The process for such a grievance begins with an attempt by the parties involved to resolve the grievance informally. If the grievance is not resolved at a lower level there are a series of formal steps leading to a final determination by the Board of Trustees of the College.
The procedures and guidelines on the filing of an academic grievance are available from the Dean of Student Development, Student and Special Services, or his/her designee.
Harassment Policy
All members of the College community share the responsibility to participate in an environment that is free of any forms of harassment. The Harassment Policy of the College specifically identifies four forms of harassment: verbal, physical, visual, and sexual (5.0004). It is the policy of the Board to prohibit harassment of an employee, applicant or student by a District employee on the basis of race, religious creed, color, ancestry, national origin, physical handicap, medical condition, marital status, sexual preference, sex or age.
In the case of any form of harassment you should report the incident immediately and directly to the appropriate Dean. Harassment Grievances can be filed based upon Section 504 and Title IX Contact either the Affirmative Action Officer or the 504 Coordinator, Director of Student Affairs and Health Center for further information.
Smoking in District Facilities
The Board of Trustees of the College of Marin recognizes that smoking presents a health and safety hazard which can have serious consequences. Therefore, the Board and the California Education Code prohibit smoking by staff, students and visitors at all times and in all buildings of the District, except outside the buildings.
Drug and Alcohol-Free Campus
lt is the policy of the District to maintain a drug and alcohol-free campus for students, faculty, and staff. The College has established and will maintain a drug and alcohol-free awareness program. The program has and will continue to include the distribution of information on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, and referral resources for counseling -and rehabilitation dealing with drug abuse problems.
The unlawful manufacture. distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance or alcohol is prohibited on any of the College of Marin Campuses. The term 'controlled substance" is defined in the Health and Safety Code 11007. Students who violate these prohibitions will be subject to disciplinary action up to suspension from the College, in addition to criminal prosecution .

Cellulitis and Drug Therapy
July 1, 2013
Find out why veterinarians use certain combination drug therapies to treat cellulitis.
I own a horse that recently has come down with cellulitis. My veterinarian is treating him with penicillin. He started him today on gentamicin. What does the gentamicin do? I heard this could last for three weeks. Is that correct? Any additional information would be appreciated.
For the answer to this question, we consulted Dr. Manuel Himenes with the American Association of Equine Practitioners.
Gentamicin is an antibiotic that is synergistic with penicillin. That means that combining penicillin and gentamicin is more effective than using either one alone. Cellulitis can be a prolonged treatment, especially if the swelling persists. If your horse can be walked, moving helps with circulation and reduces the swelling.
— Dr. Manuel Himenes, member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners.

The deadline is today. Congress must agree on a budget or large sections of the government will shut down, hundreds of thousands of workers will be furloughed, and millions more will be asked to work without pay.
The Senate is expected to decisively reject a new House bill that would delay the full effect of the health care law as a condition. Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed confidence that he had public opinion on his side.
House leaders didn't say how they would respond, but several options are on the table, according to their top aides. NEWS 4

Why Executive Recruiters Are Not Returning Your Calls
by Kim Meninger - Mar, 2013

7 Key Ways to Use Social Media in Your Job Search
by Jean Cummings - Mar, 2013
One of the biggest concerns my executive clients have is how to use social media in their job search. They know that it's the new kid on the job search block, but they themselves have rarely gone beyond a bare bones LinkedIn profile (LIP). Facebook evokes shudders of horror, and Twitter is deemed trivial. Some rethinking might be in order. Life calls on us to go out of our comfort zone on occasion - and this may be one of t...
A Word on Multi-Tasking
by Sherri Edwards - Mar, 2013
There has been a rumor going around asserting that it is "impossible to multi-task."

If we couldn't multi-task, then: When driving, we couldn't look both ways and behind us at an intersection, activate a turn signal and apply pressure to...

You experience them. You may even mention them–things that are done and said at work that aren't right. We don't do our jobs in a vacuum. We have to interact with others.

Woodstock, New York's Mike + Ruthy have been harmonizing for over a decade. Founding members of "post-apocalyptic-stringband" The Mammals, as a duo Mike + Ruthy have refined their sound down to the the very core of acoustic American music, demonstrating an uncommon ability to create songs as lyrically sophisticated as Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen and as harmonically beautiful as Gillian Welch & David Rawlings or Simon & Garfunkel. With an arsenal of fiddle, banjo, guitar, ukulele and their hallmark harmony singing, a Mike + Ruthy concert is overstuffed with soulful songs and stories and a timeless sound that is spellbinding and pure. As the daughter of fiddle legend, Jay Ungar, and country singer Lyndon Lee Hardy, Ruthy is no stranger to roots music and harmony singing. Despite her innate knowledge of American folk and country music, Ruthy opted to steer clear of the musician's life and in 1997 moved to New York City to pursue a career in the theatre. It was in New York that Ruthy was introduced to Michael Merenda, an aspiring playwright and songwriter from New Hampshire who himself had just recently arrived in the big apple to test his mettle. With this meeting Ruthy's interest in music was stoked, with Mike becoming entranced by the deep well of folk music from which Ruthy's talent poured: the duo began collaborating immediately. A romantic relationship began not long after the musical partnership was sparked and in 2000 the couple resettled just outside of Northampton, MA where they met Tao Rodriguez-Seeger (grandson of the legendary folk singer Pete Seeger) and soon formed the "subversive, acoustic, stringband" The Mammals. The Mammals toured the world for 7 years including trips to Australia, Denmark, and Canada and even a six month stint opening for and backing up the great Arlo Guthrie during his 40th Anniversary of Alice's Restaurant tour which culminated at New York's Carnegie Hall. With the birth of their son, Will, in 2008, Mike + Ruthy, announced a departure from The Mammals to focus on their growing family. During this time the couple rediscovered their joy of playing together as a duo and over the following three years produced three sparkling albums including "The Honeymoon Agenda" (2008), "Waltz of the Chickadee" (2009), and 2010's critically acclaimed "Million to One" all on their own independent record label, Humble Abode Music, based just outside of Woodstock, NY.

When a pilot's artificial arm detached while he was attempting to land the plane, the passengers and crew on the Flybe flight from Birmingham were in for a bumpy landing. The plane came down on the runway with a bounce and then it momentarily became airborne again, until it came down with a thud for its final touchdown on the runway, according to MSN News on Aug 14.
The pilot's loss of the passenger plane's controls was only momentary when his prosthetic left arm became detached from the yoke clamp, which held the artificial limb in place. The plane was on approach to Belfast City Airport carrying 47 passengers when the pilot's left limb was no longer controlling the plane.
The Washington Post reports that the pilot needed to make a split second decision to do one of two things. He could have had the co-pilot take over, or he could quickly maneuver his artificial limb using his right arm.
He concluded that the best thing to do was to move his right hand to the yoke to regain control. When he did this the landing wasn't perfect and even though the plane's final touchdown came with a hard thud on the runway, no one was hurt and there was no damage to the plane.
The report describes the plane as "landing heavily," it also mentioned that the wind gusts could have been a factor in the hard landing. The pilot became pro-active by creating his own solution to guard against this possibility ever happening again.
He will check to make sure his prosthesis is securely attached to the yoke before each flight. He will also discuss this episode with his co-pilots in the future to make them aware they would need to take over the controls on the outside chance there is ever a similar event.
The report for this incident was just released, but the incident occurred in February. The landing took place in "gusty conditions," which might have added to this hard landing.
The pilot is one of the most experienced with Flybe and one of the most trusted pilots, said a company spokesperson. Captain Ian Baston, who is the director of flight operations and safety, explained that the company employs staff, including pilots, with "reduced physical abilities."
When the company does this, it is done within the criteria laid out by the Civil Aviation Authority. The airline would never compromise safety. This hiring practice is something most would find commendable.

Pursed lip breathing
When to use pursed lip breathing
Pursed lip breathing helps you use less energy to breathe. It can help you relax. When you are short of breath, it helps you slow the pace of your breathing and can help you feel less short of breath.
Use pursed lip breathing when you do things that make you short of breath, such as:
- Exercise
- Bend
- Lift
- Climb stairs
- Feel anxious
You can practice pursed lip breathing anytime. Try to practice 4 or 5 times a day when you:
- Watch TV
- Use your computer
- Read a newspaper
How to do pursed lip breathing
- Relax the muscles in your neck and shoulders.
- Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet on the floor.
- Inhale slowly through your nose for 2 counts.
- Feel your belly get larger as you breathe in.
- Pucker your lips, as if you were going to whistle or blow out a candle.
- Exhale slowly through your lips for 4 or more counts.
